Written Hazard Communication Program

It is the policy of the YOURCOMPANY, that the first consideration in the performance of work
shall be the protection of the safety and health of all employees. The company has developed this
Hazard Communication Program to ensure that all employees receive adequate information
relevant to the possible hazards that may be involved with the various hazardous substances used
in the company's operations and processes. The following program outlines how we will
accomplish this objective.

SCOPE
This policy covers all potential workplace exposures involving hazardous substances as defined
by federal, state and local regulations.

HAZARD DETERMINATION
The company does not intend to evaluate any of the hazardous substances purchased from
suppliers and/or manufacturers but have chosen to rely upon the evaluation performed by the
suppliers or by the manufacturers of the substances to satisfy the requirements for hazard
determination.

CONTAINER LABELING
No container or hazardous substances will be released for use unless the container is correctly
labeled and the label is legible.
All chemicals in bags, drums, barrels, bottles, boxes, cans, cylinders, reaction vessels, storage
tanks, or the like will be checked by the receiving department to ensure the manufacturer's label
is intact, is legible, and has not been damaged in any manner during shipment. Any containers
found to have damaged labels will be quarantined until a new label has been installed.
The label must contain the chemical name of the contents, the appropriate hazard warnings, and
the name and address of the manufacturer, and any other information required.
All secondary containers shall be labeled. The information must include details of all chemicals
that are in the referenced container.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS)


Each location must maintain a master MSDS file as well as a department-specific file. These
Material Safety Data Sheets are available to all employees, at all times, upon request.
The Safety Committee or a designee will be responsible for reviewing all incoming MSDSs for
new and significant health/safety information (the company will ensure that any new information
is passed on to the employees involved).
The Safety Coordinator or designee will review all incoming MSDSs for completeness. If any
MSDS is missing or obviously incomplete, a new MSDS will be requested from the
manufacturer or distributor. OSHA is to be notified if the manufacturer or distributor will not

Page 10 of 21
supply the MSDS or if it is not received after 30 days from request. Any new information will be
passed on to employees involved.
New materials will not be introduced into the work area until an MSDS has been received.
The purchasing department will make it an ongoing part of its function to obtain MSDSs for all
new materials when they are first ordered.
The safety coordinator or his or her designee shall coordinate with appropriate departments to
make sure all MSDSs are obtained, distributed and communicated.

LIST OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES


Each company should compile, annually review, and update as necessary a complete inventory
of all substances present in that facility. The name of those materials determined to be hazardous
are defined in applicable federal and state standards.

EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND TRAINING


All employees will attend an orientation meeting for information and training on the following
items prior to starting work with hazardous substances; (Training CHECKLIST is to be
completed and kept on file.)
An overview of the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard, including their rights
under this regulation.
Information on where hazardous substances are present in their work areas.
Information regarding the use of hazardous sub- stances in their specific work areas.

EXPOSURE LIMITS. If OSHA has established an exposure limit for the chemical, or if a
Threshold Limit Value has been established by the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists, these must be entered on the data sheet, as must any exposure limit used by
the authority preparing the data sheet.
CARCINOGENS. The data sheet must indicate whether the chemical is listed as a carcinogen
by the National Toxicology Program, by OSHA, or by the International Agency for Research in
Cancer.
USE AND HANDLING. The data sheet must recite any general applicable precautions for safe
handling and use that are known to the firm preparing the data sheet, including hygiene practices,
protective measures during repair and maintenance of contaminated equipment and procedures
for clean-up of spills and leaks. Industrial chemical consumers often might add site-specific
procedures to the more general information offered by the chemical manufacturer.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS. The data sheet must include a description of special procedures to
be employed in emergencies, as well as a description of appropriate first aid.
DATES. The sheet must bear the date of its preparation or of its latest revision.
