Hazard Communication Name of Contact Person: Title: Hazard Evaluation Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to review the available scientific evidence concerning the hazards of the chemicals they produce, then report that information to employees who purchase their product. In most cases, Superior Landscaping will choose to rely on the evaluations performed by our suppliers. If for some reason we do not trust the evaluation of the manufacturer, we will arrange for additional testing. We will consider the following chemicals used in our business to be hazardous: 1. 7. 2. 8. 3. 9. 4. 10. 5. 11. 6. 12. Labels & Other Forms of Warning We will make certain that containers are adequately labeled to identify the hazardous chemicals they contain and will show hazard warnings appropriate for your protection. The warnings will use a combination of words, pictures and symbols that will communicate the hazards of the chemical(s) in the container. The labels will be legible and prominently displayed. Our training program will include instruction on how to read and interpret label information. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: We are permitted to post signs that convey the hazard information if there are a number of stationary containers in a given area, which have similar contents and hazards. We are not required to label portable containers, as long as the transferred chemical is for immediate use by the employee who made the transfer. We are not required to label pipes or piping systems. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) The management of Superior Landscaping is responsible for obtaining or developing an MSDS for each chemical used in the workplace. Each MSDS will include the specific chemical identity of the chemical involved and the common names. Each data sheet will provide information on the physical and chemical characteristics of the chemical; known acute and chronic health effects and related health information; exposure limits; whether the chemical is considered to be a carcinogen; precautionary measures; emergency and first aid procedures; and the identification of the organization responsible for preparing the sheet, how to store the chemical, and how to transport the chemical.
