What is the primary goal of the Haz Com program?

The primary goal of the Hazard Communication (Haz Com) program is to ensure worker safety. This program is designed to inform and train employees about the hazards associated with chemicals they may encounter in the workplace. By providing information on the proper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances, along with understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and labeling, the Haz Com program aims to mitigate risks and promote a safe working environment. This focus on worker safety is crucial for preventing injuries, illnesses, and accidents related to chemical exposure, ultimately contributing to overall workplace safety culture.
