10 Methods Engineers Use to Alert Workers of Significant Chemical and Physical Hazards in Industrial Facilities

About the Course:

This course will describe the methods employers use to alert employees of the hazards in the facility including describing them in the job advertisement, discussing them in the interview process, addressing them while onboarding, training, use of signage, and supervised work. It is necessary to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals and physical hazards in the building or in the yard are communicated to employers and employees. This is accomplished by hazard communication programs, which include container labeling, safety data sheets, and employee training. This can be done by developing a written hazard communication program, including lists of physical hazards and hazardous chemicals present in the building, labeling containers, training on safety data sheets, and developing a training plan. A hazard communication program developed in accordance with OSHA CFR 29 is essential to avoid injuries and fatalities. This training will help protect your employee’s health and contribute to company morale. Before the passage of the OSHA in 1970 there was not a codified hazard communication requirement at the federal level.

Course Objectives:

• Know that an effective hazard communication program developed in accordance with 29 CFR is essential to avoid costly and disruptive injuries.
• Understand how to get senior management’s commitment to hazard communication.
• Know how to integrate knowledge about hazard communication into the overall operation of the facility
