Cleaning Chemicals Infosheet 5 :

Worker Training: Chemicals pose a wide range of health and safety hazards. OSHA's Hazard Communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) is designed to ensure that information about these hazards and associated protective measures is communicated to workers. Worker training must be provided if the cleaning chemicals are hazardous. This training must be provided BEFORE the worker begins using the cleaner. Required training under the OSHA Hazard Communication standard includes: (a) Health and physical hazards of the cleaning chemicals; (b) Proper handling, use and storage of all cleaning chemicals being used, including dilution procedures when a cleaning product must be diluted before use; (c) Proper procedures to follow when a spill occurs; (d) Personal protective equipment required for using the cleaning product, such as gloves, safety goggles and respirators; and (e) How to obtain and use hazard information, including an explanation of labels and MSDSs. The following are important issues to be discussed with workers during training: (f) Never mix different cleaning chemicals together. Dangerous gases can be released. (g) Cleaning chemicals should not be used to wash hands. Wash hands with water after working with a cleaning chemical, especially before eating, drinking or smoking Employers must provide training to workers at a level and in a language and vocabulary that they can understand.
