Hazardous Communication (HAZCOM) & Resource, Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA)

The goal of this course is to educate campus employees to recognize and understand the required elements of the campus written hazard communication program, including how to identify and evaluate chemical hazards using Safety Data Sheets and chemical labels following the new Global Harmonized System (GHS) requirements. This course covers how to identify how chemical hazards are determined, identify and read a Safety Data Sheet, and its components, identify chemicals and their hazards, thorough campus labeling and warning practices, recognize the physical and health hazards inherent with hazardous chemicals, and learn how to properly label and ship a hazardous chemical following GHS guidelines.
