Employers that have hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are required by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), 29 CFR 1910.1200, to implement a hazard communication program. The Hazard Communication Standard, also known as Employee Right to Know, requires employers to make a chemical inventory list of the hazardous chemicals present in the workplace.
Quick and easy access to the chemical inventory list and safety data sheets allows employees to find important information about the chemicals in their workplace. Additional benefits include:
- Employees are able to find information on chemical hazards, properties, first aid, personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency procedures, and disposal methods.
- Emergency responders can quickly access chemical safety and hazard information.
- Regulatory chemical and waste reporting can be easily tracked and reported.
If you don’t know what you have on site, how do you properly train employees? How do you ensure the properly labeling is met? How do you complete regulatory reports such as Community Right to Know (CRTK)? And how do you communicate all your risks to local emergency responders? Not only is taking inventory of the chemicals stored in your facility is required for OSHA and fire code compliance, it is also necessary to protect your employees.
