HAZARD COMMUNICATION DESCRIPTION
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has enacted a Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard that requires your employer to inform you of potential hazards in your work place.  As a dedicated employee, it is your responsibility to take part in this training and to apply what you learn on the job.

 This training details the training requirements of the HazCom Standard, explains various physical and health hazards, and teaches you how to use warning labels and MSDSs properly.

 Oregon Administrative Rules for Hazard communication, states “Employers shall provide employees with information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new hazard is introduced into their work area.”

 IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU TAKE THIS TRAINING.  Corvallis School District has chosen to provide this training through a virtual web based training module.  Once the training has been completed, you will receive additional information regarding Corvallis School District’s Material Safety Data Sheets.
