I want to talk to you about something that’s critical in the workplace – hazardous materials and the importance of being informed. As you probably know, hazardous materials are used in many manufacturing and industrial processes, and it’s crucial that employees know how to handle them safely. That’s where OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard comes in, giving employees the “right-to-know” about any potentially hazardous materials that can be encountered in the workplace.

HAZCOM, or hazard communication, is a system that helps employers communicate information about hazardous materials and substances to employees. It’s a part of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard and is essential for ensuring a safe and healthy workplace. Implementing HAZCOM provides benefits like improved employee safety, better compliance with regulations, enhanced productivity, improved environmental protection, and a better reputation. To implement HAZCOM, employers need to identify hazardous materials and substances, create a hazard communication program, label and mark containers, provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), train employees, and regularly review and update the program.

Now, if you’re looking for a way to meet OSHA’s regulations and ensure your employees are properly trained, you might want to check out our online training courses. We offer the following industry-specific courses on HAZCOM:

  • Hazard Communication in Auto Service Environments

We’ve updated it to keep it relevant, and it covers all the topics that employees need to understand, from the requirements of the HAZCOM Standard to the hazards associated with different types of hazardous materials, and what employees can do to avoid these hazards.

Our courses are designed to keep employees engaged and involved in the learning process, with full-motion HD video filmed in real-life workplace settings and interactive quiz questions. Plus, our courses are available in English and Spanish, so everyone can benefit from them. And if an employee misses a quiz question, they’ll get presented with the video content that contains the answer – it’s our remediation training, and it means that training time is drastically reduced, making the courses more efficient and effective.

And let me tell you, our learning management system is top-notch too. Training activity is tracked and recorded along with test scores, making it easy for managers to monitor their employees’ progress. And the best part? We offer a range of different types of online safety courses, including adaptive learning courses, micro-learning courses, full-length interactive courses, and video streaming (VOD) courses. Our libraries contain over 170 courses on important topics such as regulatory compliance, human resource topics, and general safety topics.

Online HAZCOM or Right-to-Know training courses can offer several benefits over in-person training, including:

  1. Increased Convenience: Online training allows employees to complete the training at their own pace and on their own schedule, which can be more convenient and less disruptive to their work day.
  2. Reduced Costs: Online training eliminates the need for travel, lodging, and other costs associated with in-person training, which can be significant for companies with a large number of employees.
  3. Consistency: With online training, all employees receive the same information and training, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and that no critical information is missed.
  4. Easy Access to Resources: Online training can provide employees with easy access to training materials and resources, such as videos, presentations, and quizzes, which can help reinforce the information presented in the training.
  5. Improved Retention: The interactive nature of many online safety training programs can help employees better retain the information they receive, improving the effectiveness of the training.
  6. Accessibility: Online training makes it possible for employees in remote locations or those with disabilities to participate in training, which can be challenging with in-person training.
  7. Efficient Record Keeping: Online training systems can automatically track and record employee completion of the training, making it easy to monitor and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

From forklift safety to respiratory safety and everything in between, we’ve got you covered.  Folks, this is a no-brainer. With our range of different types of online safety courses, including micro-learning and full-length interactive courses, you’ll have access to over 170 courses on important topics
