HazCom: How to Strategize, Stay in Compliance, and Improve Your Safety Record
OSHA's hazard communication (HazCom) standard has been around since the mid-1980s, but it always hovers near the top of the list of the most frequently violated safety rules.
Join us on June 24 for an in-depth audio conference. Our speaker--an experienced safety consultant--will discuss positive, effective HazCom strategies you can put into use at your workplace.
You and your colleagues will learn:
-Steps to effectively train your employees in HazCom for compliance and best practices
-Examples of effectively using components of the standard during employee training sessions
-How to ensure your HazCom written program stays current/up to date
-Takeaway tips that you can begin using immediately
-And much more...
Going beyond compliance requirements, this audio conference will offer real-world solutions to help you and your managers recognize the value of HazCom in a different way.
