Course Description
Overview
Many businesses transport or use hazardous chemicals which can potentially come into contact with employees. Chemical exposure can cause health problems and some chemicals are safety hazards with the potential to cause fires, explosions or other serious accidents. Employers have a legal responsibility to communicate to employees the chemical hazards present in their work areas and to provide training on mitigating risks associated with chemical hazards.
In this course, the student will review OSHA 3084, "Chemical Hazard Communication". This publication outlines the requirements for evaluating chemical hazards and transmitting the hazard information to employers and employees. This course is relevant to business owners, engineers, managers, foreman and any other personnel working in industries that require the manufacture, transportation, storage and/or use of chemicals.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
