Hazcom Helper – OSHA version
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule 29 CFR 1910.1200 (also known as the Hazard Communication Standard) requires all employers having hazardous chemicals in their workplaces to develop a written hazard communication program. Employers must list all these chemicals and describe how the company will address requirements to:
- Label containers used to store hazardous chemicals
- Obtain or develop Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous chemicals
- Provide potentially exposed workers with information about and training in working around hazardous chemicals
- Provide appropriate protective measures
NIOSH created the HazCom Helper - OSHA Version to be more compatible with the specific needs of nonmining companies. This software leads the person responsible for writing a HazCom plan step-by-step through its preparation. Prompts and suggestions help the writer fill in the proper information. The help menu is also useful. Appendix A assists with writing a list of all hazardous chemicals at a site. The program can be saved and recalled at any time so it can be updated whenever necessary.
