HAZARD COMMUNICATIONS FOR FACILITY AND
LABORATORY PERSONNEL/ LAB STUDENTS
All employees must receive training to become knowledgeable about the potential hazards of the chemicals they use and how to properly handle workplace chemicals. This session provides general information about working with chemicals which leads to a more specific training session that must be provided by the supervisor/ADSO in the department in which each employee works. In this session, we will discuss the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, different sources of chemical safety information available to employees and students, and how to “decode” and use the information found in material safety data sheets (MSDSs).
The session also includes an overview of the potential health and physical hazards of chemicals, how to use personal protective equipment, first aid for chemical exposures, handling flammable liquids and compressed gases, incidental spill cleanup and hazardous waste disposal.
