Hazard Communication
Hazard Communication is the program that defines how the District warns employees of the hazards associated with the chemicals they use. In particular, hazard communications include providing inventories of hazardous substances in the workplace, providing safety information for hazardous substances, proper labeling of hazardous substances, and workplace related training on hazards.
All District employees should have general Hazard Communication knowledge for working in the District. However, the Hazard Communication Program directly affects all employees working in areas that store and/or use hazardous substances. All School district employees have the right to a safe workplace, and have the right to know:
- The identity of any hazardous chemicals that an employee may use or have exposure.
- The hazardous effects of these substances.
- The precautions to observe when handling these substances.
- Read Safety Data Sheets and Physical Agent Data Sheets about the health hazards of the hazardous chemicals in the products.
