Written Hazard Communication Program

Employers must develop, implement, and maintain at the workplace a written hazard communication program for their employees. This written hazard communication program will include at least the following:

• Labels and other forms of warning
• Safety data sheets
• Employee information and training requirements
• A list of the hazardous chemicals known to be present, including a product identifier that is referenced on the appropriate safety data sheet (the list may be compiled for the workplace as a whole or for individual work areas)
• The methods the employer will use to inform employees of the hazards of non-routine tasks, as well as chemicals contained in unlabeled pipes in their work areas
