Written Hazard Communication Program
It is the policy of the YOURCOMPANY,
that the first consideration in the performance of work shall be the
protection of the safety and health of all employees. The company has
developed this Hazard Communication Program to ensure that all employees
receive adequate information relevant to the possible hazards that may
be involved with the various hazardous substances used in the company's
operations and processes. The following program outlines how we will
accomplish this objective.
SCOPE
This
policy covers all potential workplace exposures involving hazardous
substances as defined by federal, state and local regulations.
HAZARD DETERMINATION
The
company does not intend to evaluate any of the hazardous substances
purchased from suppliers and/or manufacturers but have chosen to rely
upon the evaluation performed by the suppliers or by the manufacturers
of the substances to satisfy the requirements for hazard determination.
CONTAINER LABELING
No
container or hazardous substances will be released for use unless the
container is correctly labeled and the label is legible.
All
chemicals in bags, drums, barrels, bottles, boxes, cans, cylinders,
reaction vessels, storage tanks, or the like will be checked by the
receiving department to ensure the manufacturer's label is intact, is
legible, and has not been damaged in any manner during shipment. Any
containers found to have damaged labels will be quarantined until a new
label has been installed.
The
label must contain the chemical name of the contents, the appropriate
hazard warnings, and the name and address of the manufacturer, and any
other information required.
All
secondary containers shall be labeled. The information must include
details of all chemicals that are in the referenced container.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS)
Each
location must maintain a master MSDS file as well as a
department-specific file. These Material Safety Data Sheets are
available to all employees, at all times, upon request.
The
Safety Committee or a designee will be responsible for reviewing all
incoming MSDSs for new and significant health/safety information (the
company will ensure that any new information is passed on to the
employees involved).
The
Safety Coordinator or designee will review all incoming MSDSs for
completeness. If any MSDS is missing or obviously incomplete, a new MSDS
will be requested from the manufacturer or distributor. OSHA is to be
notified if the manufacturer or distributor will not supply the MSDS or
if it is not received after 30 days from request. Any new information
will be passed on to employees involved.
New materials will not be introduced into the work area until an MSDS has been received.
The
purchasing department will make it an ongoing part of its function to
obtain MSDSs for all new materials when they are first ordered.
The
safety coordinator or his or her designee shall coordinate with
appropriate departments to make sure all MSDSs are obtained, distributed
and communicated.
LIST OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Each
company should compile, annually review, and update as necessary a
complete inventory of all substances present in that facility. The name
of those materials determined to be hazardous are defined in applicable
federal and state standards.
EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND TRAINING
All
employees will attend an orientation meeting for information and
training on the following items prior to starting work with hazardous
substances; (Training CHECKLIST is to be completed and kept on file.)
An overview of the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard, including their rights under this regulation.
Information on where hazardous substances are present in their work areas.
Information regarding the use of hazardous sub- stances in their specific work areas.
The
location and availability of the written hazard communication program. A
copy of the program will be given to all employees during the
orientation meeting. Subsequent to this, the program will be available
from managers and also from the office.
The physical and health aspects of the substances in use.
Methods and observation techniques used to determine the presence or release of hazardous substances in the work area.
The controls, work practices and personal protective equipment that are available for protection against possible exposure.
Emergency and first aid procedures to follow if employees are exposed to hazardous substances.

Refresher training shall be conducted annually.
It
is most important that all of our employees understand the information
given in the orientation meetings. Questions regarding this information
should be directed to the Safety Coordinator.
When
new substances are introduced into the workplace the department manager
will review the above items with you as they are related to the new
materials. The department manager will relay all the above information
to new employees who will be working with hazardous substances, prior to
their starting work. An Acknowledgment Statement is to be completed by
each employee receiving this information and training. These are to be
kept on file in the human resources department.
NON-ROUTINE TASKS
Infrequently,
employees may be required to perform non-routine tasks that involve the
use of hazardous substances. Prior to starting work on such projects,
each involved employee will be given information by his or her
supervisor about hazards to which they may be exposed during such an
activity.
This information will include:
The specific hazards.
