OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR Section 1910.1200, OSHA, Washington, D.C., 1983. 

Biphenyl is defined as a toxic chemical under, and subject to, reporting requirements of Section 313 of Tide III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 and 40 CFR, Part 372 under the name biphenyl. It is identified as a hazardous chemical under criteria of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). 

The small amount of mixed terphenyls that are sold as such, are shipped in the form of flaked solids in 22.7 kg multiwall bags. The U.S. freight classification is Plastics, synthetic other than liquid, NOIBN. Like biphenyl, mixed terphenyls fall under the hazardous chemical criteria of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration s (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) of 1986 requires that employers at manufacturing facilities, and any other work place where toxic chemicals are handled or processed, be provided Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for aU hazardous substances used in their facility, and to make these MSDSs available to all employees potentially exposed to these hazards. 

A Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document summarizing the hazards and health and safety information for a chemical. In the United States, the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires that chemical manufacturers must make an MSDS available to employees and customers for every chemical manufactured or sold. The Canadian Hazardous Products Act (R.S., 1985, c. H-3) has the same requirement. 

Under OSHA hazard communication standard 29 CFR 1910.119, employers are required to carry out an assessment to evaluate the risk to health from any chemicals handled and establish what precautions are needed to protect employees. A written record of the assessment should be kept and details made available to employees. The design engineer should consider the preventative aspects of the use of hazardous substances. Points to consider are... 

OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) The US OSHA s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) ensures that information about chemical hazards and associated protective measures is provided to workers and employers. This is accomplished by requiring chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and to provide information through labels on shipped containers and MSDSs. Employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must prepare and implement a written hazard communication program, and must ensure that containers are labeled, employees are provided access to MSDSs, and an effective training program is conducted for all potentially exposed employees. The HCS provides workers the right-to-know the... 

The CCMC administers the SRS HazCom Program, in complianee with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and the S/RID. All employees have access, via the SRS Intranet, to the site MSDS database, which contains electronic images of MSDSs for products used on site. This open access is important for worker health and safety and satisfies OSHA requirements. 

The purpose of this program is to comply with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. The purpose of this program is also to ensure that all individuals who are affected by this program are provided with the information necessary to protect themselves and others from injury and illness when working with hazardous chemicals. 

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires employers to provide employees with information and training on hazardous chemicals used in their work areas. Employers must conduct training at the time of their initial assignment and upon the introduction... 

This chapter will introduce the material that will aid you in understanding what a hazard communication program should entail and what you need to know to comply with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. You will also learn how to properly warn employees about hazardous chemicals and substances in the workplace. 

By US law, every worker must be informed about the potential dangers of the chemicals that they encounter in the workplace (OSHA - Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200). This includes common chemicals, such as household dishwasher soaps. It is the responsibility of managers to keep workers informed about the chemicals being used and their potential hazards. Chemical manufacturers must provide users with MSDSs on all their chemicals. These MSDSs must be made available to all workers. There are MSDSs on aU kinds of chemical, ranging from the toner used in copiers, to common household detergents, to really hazardous chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid (HF). Information on environmental aspects of processing can be obtained from the Center for Environmental Research Information.
