Chemical Hazard Communication
Edward Brunet, Jr., P.E.
Overview
Many businesses transport or use hazardous chemicals which
can potentially come into contact with employees. Chemical exposure can
cause health problems and some chemicals are safety hazards with the potential
to cause fires, explosions or other serious accidents. Employers have a
legal responsibility to communicate to employees the chemical hazards present in
their work areas and to provide training on mitigating risks associated with
chemical hazards.

"Chemical Hazard Communication". This publication outlines the
requirements for evaluating chemical hazards and transmitting the hazard
information to employers and employees. This course is relevant to
business owners, engineers, managers, foreman and any other personnel working in

chemicals.
