Online Hazcom Training

This hazcom training course covers new information on the new Global Harmonization system. It gives workers practical information about using chemicals by focusing on four questions: What am I working with? Can it hurt me? How do I protect myself? And what do I do if something goes wrong? This hazcom training course thoroughly covers the topics of labels, MSDS's, hazard categories, and safe work practices when working with hazardous chemicals. This hazcom training also discusses what to do if you encounter a spill and how to respond in an emergency situation.
