How do I develop a written hazard communication training program?
The Program has a written guidance document to assist public employers in developing the written training program. The “Model Written Hazcom Program” is available on request from the Program or by clicking here. There are also commercially available written training programs that may be modified for use by a public employer. However, public employers are cautioned that the written training program must be designed for their specific workplaces. Therefore, it is imperative that these employers ensure that their written training program meets the requirements of the THCA and Rules. One of the most common problems with commercially available written training programs is that they are usually designed for compliance with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) Hazard Communication Standard, and NOT for compliance with the THCA.
