Employer & Employee Responsibilities

Every person at the workplace has a responsibility to ensure that health and safety standards are being observed at all times. Both employers and employees must actively participate in hazard communication and response efforts to ensure the success of any hazard communication program that is in place.

Employers are responsible for establishing a training and information program for new employees. They must also provide training and information to employees who have been assigned new tasks that put them at risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals, and whenever a new hazard is introduced into employees' work areas. Employees are responsible for observing the provisions of the Standard and their site-specific hazard communication program. At all times, employees are responsible for practicing work habits that are safety oriented.
