Hazard Communication Program

Because employee's have the "Right to Know about hazards in their workplace, OSHA requires that all employer's have a written Hazard Communication Program in place.

The written Hazard Communication Program describes Connecticut College's policies and procedures for managing and communicating chemical hazard information, not only to faculty and staff, but to students and visitors as well.

The written Hazard Communication program contains specific information regarding required labels, Material Safety Data Sheets, and the types and content of the required training that is provided to employees.

But it is important to to remember that no amount of instruction can substitute for common sense. Before using any chemical product, stop and read the container label and the product's MSDS. (Follow the links to the MSDS pages on the left.)
