This session will guide you through the Hazard Communication, or HazCom, Standard administered and enforced by the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health, better known as Cal/OSHA. This worker right-to-know standard requires your employer to make sure you are informed of the possible dangers of hazardous chemicals in your workplace and how to protect yourself from those hazards.
This California HazCom regulation applies to all employers in both the private and public sectors that have hazardous substances in their workplaces. It also applies to laboratories that provide quality control analyses for manufacturing or produce hazardous chemicals for commercial purposes.
California’s HazCom regulations have adopted the federal worker right-to-know requirements, as well as some requirements that are stricter than federal standards.
This session discusses the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Hazard Communication Standard, or HazCom.
The standard, which is also referred to as the worker right to know standard, makes sure that you know all about the possible dangers of hazardous chemicals that you use in your job and gives you the information to protect yourself from those hazards. Your employer is required to provide you with this information for the hazardous chemicals present in your workplace.
During this session, we’re going to talk about how to recognize hazards, how to protect yourself, and how to interpret critical information designed to make your workplace safer.
This session discusses the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Hazard Communication Standard, or HazCom.
HazCom describes what employers must do to inform employees about chemical hazards in the workplace. Employers must provide you with:
• A written HazCom program that explains how the information is communicated to you.
• A list of the hazardous chemicals used in your workplace so you know that you might be asked to use a potentially hazardous chemical. The list is included in the written HazCom program.
• Safety data sheets, or SDSs, for each type of hazardous chemical. These contain detailed information about the chemical, its possible hazards, and ways to protect yourself.
• Labels on containers that identify and describe the chemical hazards; and
• Training that teaches you about the HazCom Standard, tells you how to read and understand the information on SDSs and chemical labels, and shows you ways you can protect yourself against possible hazards.
The HazCom standard, which is also referred to as the worker right to know standard, makes sure that you know all about the possible dangers of hazardous chemicals that you use in your job and gives you the information to protect yourself from those hazards.

En esta sesión se analiza la Norma de Comunicación de Peligros de la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA), conocida como HazCom.
Esta norma, también conocida como la norma del derecho del trabajador a saber, garantiza que conozca todos los posibles peligros de los productos químicos peligrosos que utiliza en su trabajo y le brinda la información para protegerse de esos peligros. Su empleador está obligado a proporcionarle esta información sobre los productos químicos peligrosos presentes en su lugar de trabajo.
Durante esta sesión, hablaremos de cómo reconocer los peligros, cómo protegerse y cómo interpretar información crítica diseñada para hacer su lugar de trabajo más seguro.

Employees use many different chemicals in the workplace to produce products and do their jobs. But these chemicals can often be hazardous to health and safety unless employees take proper precautions when handling them. This course explains the steps workers need to take to handle the chemicals they work with safely so they can prevent accidents, injuries, and illness.
This course is for all employees who work with hazardous chemicals.
We use many different chemicals in the workplace, but often these materials can be hazardous to health and safety unless we take proper precautions when handling them. This session will discuss the steps you can take to handle the materials you work with safely so that you can prevent accidents, injuries, and illness.
Utilizamos muchos productos químicos diferentes en el lugar de trabajo; sin embargo, a menudo estos materiales pueden representar un riesgo para la salud y la seguridad, a menos que tomemos las precauciones adecuadas al manipularlos. En esta sesión, abordaremos las medidas que usted puede adoptar para manipular de manera segura los materiales con los que trabaja, a fin de prevenir accidentes, lesiones y enfermedades.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication (HazCom) standard requires containers of hazardous chemicals to be labeled with information about the possible hazards associated with the chemicals and how employees can protect themselves from those hazards. Therefore, being able recognize and interpret the various components of a chemical label is essential for the safe use of chemicals. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) ensures that all labels provide clear and consistent information.

El estándar HazCom de OSHA requiere que los contenedores de sustancias químicas peligrosas estén etiquetados con información sobre los posibles peligros asociados con las sustancias químicas y cómo los empleados pueden protegerse de esos peligros. Por lo tanto, ser capaz de reconocer e interpretar los diversos componentes de una etiqueta química es esencial para el uso seguro de los productos químicos. El SGA (GHS) garantiza que todas las etiquetas proporcionen información clara y coherente.
