ANSI Material Data Safety Sheet, The
Video Program
MARCOM's "The ANSI Material
Safety Data Sheet" HAZWOPER Videotape Program assists facilities
in complying with the employee training requirements of OSHA's HAZWOPER
regulation (29 CFR 1910.120), and helps instruct employees about the ANSI
MSDS format and reviews how the information in an MSDS can help them work
safely with potentially hazardous chemicals. Hazardous materials and waste
are part of many work situations, and can be found on many types of job
sites. OSHA feels that it is so important for employees to know how to
recognize these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle
and dispose of them properly) they have mandated that anyone working with
these substances receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from
cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed, including
OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of these regulations,
there are varying requirements for employee training, depending on an
employee's specific level of involvement with hazardous materials.
Areas covered in the Program include the importance of the
MSDS, the MSDS's role in the Hazard Communication Standard, advantages
of the ANSI Format, the four basic questions that the ANSI MSDS answers,
a review of the sections in the ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet, and more.
The Videotape Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible
Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Log and Training
Certificate. Log.
