OSHA HAZCOM TRAINING

The purpose of hazard communication (aka HAZCOM) training is to explain and reinforce the information presented to employees through the written mediums of labels and material safety data sheets, and to apply this information in their workplace. 


This course is broken down into 3 parts. 

  1. Video training
  2. Reading
  3. Quiz


You must score at least 60% to pass this course.
