To develop and deliver an OSHA 10-hour safety training course, ensure it covers relevant OSHA regulations and standards for workplace safety. A hazard communication course in accordance with CFR 1910.1200 can help workers understand chemical hazards and ways to protect themselves. [1]

The 10-hour course should cover key elements of the OSHA HazCom standard, including:

• Written Hazcom Program
• Chemical Labels
• SDSs
• Worker Training
• Chemical Inventory

[4] The training should enable workers to find and use information about chemicals, identify spills, and report them to qualified personnel. [1]

Training should also cover the new OSHA label symbols and their meanings. [1]

The course should address the routes of entry for chemicals into the body and methods to control chemical exposures for better worker protection. [1]

Workers should be informed of their right to be informed within 30 days of receiving a new or revised Safety Data Sheet (SDS) that could impact their health. [2]

The training should highlight that OSHA has a separate HazCom standard for construction, 1926.59, which is identical to 1910.1200. [3]

Administrative controls, such as training and information, signage, and standard operating procedures, can reduce chemical exposures. [5]
