There are hazardous chemicals present in every work setting and it is important you understand the hazards involved with every chemical you work with or around. In fact OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires under the Hazard Communication standard that all employers provide information regarding any hazardous materials an employee may use.

The new Video On Demand courses, HazCom: Right-To-Know for Healthcare Facilities and HazCom: Right-To-Know for Cleaning and Maintenance Operations, provide employees with information regarding hazard communication and their specific workplace.

Both courses cover information regarding:

• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets)
• Container labels
• Toxic Substances
• Corrosives & Irritants
• Flammables & Combustibles
• PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
• Chemical Storage
• Exposure Situations
• Hazardous Spills
