SafeLink Consulting is now offering a Hazard Communication (HazCom) training tool kit, designed to streamline compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) revised Hazard Communication Standard.
It also clarifies the new requirements, provides OSHA-required employee training, reduces the risk of certain types of OSHA visits and/or fines, and maximizes productivity, SafeLink noted in a press release.
OSHA's revision is based on its March 2012 adoption of certain components of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, according to SafeLink. By December 1, 2013, employers will be required to train employees to recognize and understand all new classifications, labeling, universal symbols, and standardized safety data sheets.
The HazCom tool kit, which was developed by dental industry safety consultants, includes the following:
- An employee training presentation on CD
- An explanation of the Globally Harmonized System
- Pictogram labels
- A training test and certificate
- A training checklist and employee training register
