What does the Hazard Communication program require regarding information to workers?

• A. Training on physical and health hazards and protective procedures
• B. Only the chemical names
• C. Only the hazard pictograms
• D. Only the SDS availability

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that workers must be informed and trained about what could harm them and how to protect themselves. The hazard communication program requires training that covers both the physical hazards (like flammability or reactivity) and the health hazards (toxicity, irritation) of the chemicals they may encounter, plus the protective procedures to reduce exposure. This includes how to use engineering controls, PPE, and safe work practices, as well as how to read labels and safety data sheets to understand the hazards and the steps to take in case of exposure or spills. Providing only chemical names, or only hazard pictograms, or SDS availability doesn't give workers the full guidance on hazards and protective actions, so the comprehensive training on hazards and protective measures is the correct focus.
