INTRODUCTION
The role of hazard
communication program is to
inform employers and
employees of the chemical
hazards in their workplace in
order to reduce the potential
for chemical illness and
injury.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION
PROGRAM
Purpose
Ensure that the hazards of all
chemicals produced or purchasedare evaluated and information
concerning their hazards is
transmitted to employers and
employees

Communicate hazardous properties to
employees to reduce potential for adverse
exposure incidents.
Identify areas for further hazard evaluation
and control efforts

CHEMICAL REGISTER
Requirement under USECHH Regulation
A list of chemicals hazardous to health used in the
place of work.
To be used as
Reference to employees regarding the presenceof hazardous chemical at their workplace andinformation regarding health risk, and
precautionary actions that need to be taken
Reference to employer to carry out training ofemployees in handling chemicals hazardous tohealth
Assist assessor in getting for risk assessment.

WHAT SHOULD INCLUDE IN
A CHEMICAL REGISTER
All chemical defined as hazardous to
health Inclusive of:
All laboratory reagents
Maintenance chemicals
Schedule Waste
Pesticides

HOW DO I MAKE CHEMICAL
INVENTORY
Walkthrough or inspection of workplace
Look for storage of chemicals-cabinets
Take information of all chemicals or
suspected is a chemical found.
Trade name
Product or manufacturer ID
Contact number and address
User in charge of the work area
-

EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Chemical information and the use of MSDS/CSDS
Potential physical and health hazards inworkplace
Detection methods for hazardous chemicals
Odor/visual
Continuous monitoring devices
Exposure monitoring
Protective measures
Explanation of labeling system
Emergency procedure
-
8/7/2019 Lec11 Hazrd Comm

LABELING PROGRAM
Immediate warning of potential
hazards in the workplace Visual reminder of more detailed
information provided in employee
training sessions and on MSDSs
-
8/7/2019 Lec11 Hazrd Comm
17/51
BASIC LABELING
REQUIREMENT
Containers of hazardous chemicals
should have an identity on the labelwhich is the same as that on the MSDS
and the location substance list.
Labels should have an appropriate
hazards warning (any massage, words,pictures, or symbols which convey the
potential hazards)
-

18/51
KEY POINTS
Hazards communication programs inform
employees of the chemicals in their workplace
and the associated potential hazards.
Program elements include hazard determination,
labeling, MSDSs, and training
Chemical register provides a central mechanism
for producing consistent toxicity and hazards
statements

The IH Skills Required
Anticipation
Be able to anticipate potential hazards fromchanges in processes materials.
Designing out potential health problems before
being incorporated into process.
Being more pro-active about workplace health
and safety
Establishing a working system rather than waiting
for regulatory of adverse health effects to show
up.

of the organization
Dual Reporting
Supporting operations and direct report to
central EHS organization which reports to top
management
Place specific value in achievement of EHS goals not
not to do if we have time
