Provide water and wastewater operators training on OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HAZCOM), 29 CRF 1910.1200, which requires that hazardous materials used at the work site are identified, labeled, handled, used, and disposed of properly. Topics include chemical states, employer and employee responsibilities, company goals, and federal agencies that regulate workplace chemicals. The goal of the course is to prevent or minimize employee exposure to hazardous materials and to minimize their accidental release in the work environment. This course covers the 2012 changes to SDS, labeling, and GHS.
