objectivesThe SDS and HAZCOM Awareness course from OSHA Education School is a 60-minute introductory level online training designed for Manufacturing employees to learn the fundamentals of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS).
Manufacturing processes sometimes require chemicals for production, cooling, lubrication, and cleaning. Because of this, it is important to know how to work safely around chemicals in a Manufacturing environment. The basis of this is proper classification, labeling, and documentation in Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Participants can also expect to cover the requirements of a Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) program.
OSHA Education School’s SDS and HAZCOM Awareness course is designed to teach Manufacturing employees how to recognize hazards and understand the training requirements for safe work practices around chemicals. Specific course topics include the following:
A summary of typical manufacturing environments
An overview of OSHA’s HCS and general requirements
Employer responsibilities under the HCS
Requirements for a chemical inventory and SDSs
Requirements for proper workplace labeling
Information about alternative labels, unlabeled containers, and Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping containers
Basic training requirements for working with hazardous chemicals, plus 14 additional training elements
Understanding Pictograms and their hazard associations
Your right to know and understand the hazardous chemicals you work with
Common best practices for safety when working with hazardous chemicals
A description of the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Mobile Application (NPG)
Links to nine additional resources for information and assistance
Knowledge checks to measure your understanding
descriptionThe SDS and HAZCOM Awareness course is an introduction level online training course intended for manufacturing workers to familiarize themselves with the basic concepts of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). Chemicals are sometimes required in manufacturing processes for production, cooling, lubricating, and cleaning. As a result, it is critical to understand how to operate safely with chemicals in a manufacturing setting. Proper categorization, labelling, and documenting in Safety Data Sheets serve as the foundation for this (SDS). Additionally, participants may anticipate being exposed to the needs of a Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) program.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
Failure to pass quizzes and the final exam will result in being locked out of this online training program, but the learner can repurchase and start back from the beginning.
Upon completing this SDS And HAZCOM Awareness For Manufacturing and the accompanying survey, you will receive an OSHA card from the provider of this OSHA training on behalf of the Department of Labor.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING TO RECEIVE YOUR DOL CARD
