Just thought I would say thank you for all the years of hard work, dedication and expertise you bring to the industry regarding hazardous materials. Particularly customer service, ongoing training and liaison with agencies, whenever disposal is required to comply, not only with “Best Practices” but Regulatory and Legislative requirements in Canada as well as the U.S. Like many industries, we are registered as “Generators” of waste on rare occasions, so minimizing cost is essential to the bottom line in business. Increased inspections, penalties and fines by Regulators in Canada and U.S. sets a precedence for the need of training and documentation. This has made a Positive outcome with our corporation, thanks to Global. Your ongoing services are greatly appreciated.

What is HazCom?

HazCom — Hazard Communication — is the U.S. standard for informing workers about the hazardous chemicals they work with. It’s administered by OSHA under the Hazard Communication Standard (often called HCS or the “right-to-know” standard) and is built around labels, safety data sheets (SDSs), and worker training.

Any worker who is or may be exposed to hazardous chemicals in the course of their work, plus the supervisors responsible for them. If hazardous chemicals are used, handled, or stored in your workplace, the workers around them need HazCom training.

Yes. Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, employers are required to provide information and training to workers on the hazardous chemicals in their work area. It’s one of OSHA’s most frequently cited standards, so getting it right matters.

Yes. HazCom is aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), which standardized hazard classification, pictograms, signal words, and the 16-section safety data sheet format. Our training reflects the current GHS-aligned requirements.

Workers must be trained at the time of their initial assignment to a work area with hazardous chemicals, and again whenever a new chemical hazard is introduced into their area. Refresher training is good practice, and retraining is expected when processes, products, or hazard information change.

Core areas include how the HazCom program works, reading and understanding labels and pictograms, using safety data sheets, the physical and health hazards of the chemicals in the workplace, protective measures and safe handling, and the details of the employer’s written hazard communication program.
