What are the Key Components of Hazard Communication?
Effective hazard communication involves several key components:
Labeling: Proper labeling of containers with clear indications of the chemical's identity, hazard warnings, and the manufacturer's details. Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Detailed documents that provide comprehensive information about a chemical's properties, health effects, and safety precautions. Training: Educating employees and users about the risks and safe handling of chemicals. Written Communication Programs: Documented plans outlining how hazard communication will be managed within an organization.
