Why Do I Need Safety Training?
While there are no requirements for refresher training related to hazard communication, employers must provide additional training to employees whenever a new chemical or new PPE is introduced to the workplace. Additional training may also be necessary if an employee is involved in an accident or is found not following safety procedures.
Under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, employers are required to provide a workplace that "is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees."
This means employers have a legal and ethical obligation to promote a work environment where hazardous chemicals and products are used and stored safely. You and your coworkers have the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes the safety, equality, and well-being of all.
