FREE COURSE PREVIEW
Hazardous chemicals are present in many workplaces, putting millions of employees at risk of exposure each day. Understanding how to access and use Safety Data Sheets (SDS) is critical to maintaining a safe and compliant work environment.
The full 24-minute course, Understanding the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), introduces employees to OSHA’s Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), helping them recognize chemical hazards and use SDS information effectively.
What this SDS training covers
This course provides a practical foundation for employees who may encounter hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
Learners will be able to:
- Understand the purpose of GHS and OSHA hazard communication requirements
- Recognize how SDS improves access to safety, health, and environmental information
- Identify all 16 sections of a Safety Data Sheet and what each contains
- Locate and use SDS information to prevent exposure and workplace incidents
Why SDS training matters
OSHA requires employers to communicate chemical hazards through labeling and Safety Data Sheets. Proper training helps employees:
- Access accurate information about workplace chemicals
- Prevent exposure to hazardous or toxic substances
- Follow safe handling and emergency procedures
Without proper SDS knowledge, employees are at greater risk of accidents, injuries, and compliance violations.
