This online tutorial was designed as a means of providing individuals with the necessary Chemical Hygiene training. Training is also offered through the Teaching and Learning Center. The tutorial will first take us through the main components of the Chemical Hygiene Standard. The Standard was designed to inform workers of the potential hazards associated with the materials they work with, and to ensure that they receive the necessary training on how to protect themselves. For this reason, the Chemical Hygiene Plan must include chemical labeling, Material Safety Data Sheets, the elements of a written program, and training.

We will then go over the contents of our written program. We will cover the purpose, who’s responsible for what, what are MSDSs and where you can find them in your work area, some basic protective measures, and some general emergency procedures.

Finally, we will end with a practical exercise that involves understanding information found on actual MSDS. The session today will last about an hour.
