Training hazard communication

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, better known as the Right-to-Know law, requires that the hazards of all chemicals produced in or imported into the United States are evaluated and that employers provide their employees with all appropriate hazard information. This involves providing employees with hazard communication/training programs and access to material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and written records. OSHA considers the MSDS the primary vehicle for transmitting detailed hazard information to downstream employers and employees.
