As an employee, you have a Right to Know...

What is this stuff?(identity)

How can it hurt me?(hazards)

Should I have put gloves on?

(protective measures)

With this knowledge, employers & employees can:

•Reduce exposures•Substitute less hazardous materials

•Proper work practices

5 Elements of the Program:1. Chemical list

(hazardous materials)

2. Written safety program

3. Use Labels (with warnings)

4. Access to MSDS’s

5. Employee safety training

HazCom Program

Purpose of Haz Com� Ensure info about hazardous

chemicals & protection measures is available to employees

Producers & importers determine hazards of their products.

Then they pass it on to employers that purchase chemicals (solvents, glues, paints, acids, bases).

This information is then passed on to the employees via MSDS (material safety data sheets).
