Written 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
• The SDSs (including the designated person responsible for obtaining and maintaining SDSs)
• A list of the hazardous chemicals known to be present, including a product identifier that is referenced on the appropriate SDS (the list may be compiled for the workplace as a whole or for individual work areas)
• Procedures for updating SDSs when new and significant health information is found
• Employee information and training requirements
• 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
• The methods the employer will use to inform contractors of the hazard communication program
• Procedures for reporting spills or accidental release of hazardous chemicals
