Hazard Communication
Program
The Hazard Communication program provides detailed safety guidelines and instructions for the receipt, use and storage of chemicals on campus. All persons working with or routinely coming into contact with hazardous materials are trained to identify, categorize, and handle them appropriately.
Material Safety Data Sheets
To avoid injury, faculty and staff routinely coming into contact with hazardous materials or chemicals must be aware of the substance's hazardous properties. Some agents used on campus are explosive, corrosive, flammable, or toxic. Other products are relatively safe to use and store, but may become dangerous when they interact with other substances. Before using a specific chemical, safe handling methods and health hazards must always be reviewed. Supervisors should ensure that a chemical's Material Safety Data Sheets are readily available. The link on the right will enable supervisors to easily store and locate the appropriate MSDS for each chemical. The site can be customized to show locations of hazardous materials on campus as needed.
