Written program
  • The written HazCom program should serve as a blueprint for implementation of the program.

Written program

The written hazard communication program, simply put, is the written record of what a company has done and will do to comply with the Hazard Communication standard.

The written program does not have to be lengthy or complicated. It is intended to be a blueprint for implementation of the program and an assurance that all aspects of the requirements have been addressed. It serves to communicate to employees and to OSHA exactly what has been done to comply with the HazCom standard.

In general, the written program must describe how the requirements for labels and other forms of warning, safety data sheets (SDSs), employee information, and training are going to be met.

It must be available, upon request, to employees, their designated representatives, and any OSHA officials. If the workers’ job assignment requires travel between various geographical locations, employers may keep the written program at the primary work location.
