Employers are required under OSHA's (29 CFR 1910.1200) to provide hazard training and information concerning chemicals that employees may potentially encounter in the workplace. It is the most frequently cited general industry OSHA standard and one that employers struggle to understand.

Companies must provide information to their employees on hazardous chemicals by means of training, substance labeling and material safety data sheets (MSDS). Products such as cleaning agents, detergents, dusts, inks and janitorial supplies are examples of potentially hazardous chemicals that may be present in the workplace.

Personnel Concepts has developed a Right to Know poster that will assist you in complying with OSHA requirements to inform your employees about potential chemical hazards. Our poster includes information on:

• OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard
• Material Safety Data Sheet guide that explains what they are and what each section of an MSDS includes
• Quick Reference MSDS for employers to list hazardous materials, their application and required safety equipment
• Hazardous Materials Reference Guide that explains the Hazard Diamond and what each category represents
