Section 10 - Hazard Communication Program and Procedure
10.1 - Hazard Communication Plan
This written Hazard Communication Plan (HAZCOM) has been developed based on the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard and consists of the following elements:
Written Hazard Communication Program
Identification of Hazardous Materials
Product Warning Labels
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Effective Employee Training
Multiple Jobsites
Each jobsite shall have a copy of the Hazard Communication Program, a list of all hazardous chemicals in
company possession and a MSDS for each of those chemicals. In the event that crews are working in
various locations, a primary location shall be designated for the location of the hazardous chemical
information. In the event multiple jobsites are too remote to designate a primary location and still have
timely and effective access to the information, a copy shall be carried with the crew. The onsite supervisor
is responsible for notifying the client and other contractors of the particular hazardous chemicals used in
our company’s scope of work and obtaining the information from the client and other contractors regarding
the hazardous chemicals that may be encountered in the work area.
Non-Routine Tasks are defined as working on, near, or with unlabeled piping, unlabeled containers of an
unknown substance, confined space entry where a hazardous substance may be present and a one-time
task using a hazardous substance differently than intended (example: using a solvent to remove stains
from tile floors).
Steps for Non-Routine Tasks
Step 1: Hazard Determination
Step 2: Determine Precautions
Step 3: Specific Training and Documentation
Step 4: Perform Task
All non-routine tasks shall be evaluated by the Project Supervisor before the task commences, to
determine all hazards present. Once the hazard determination is made, the Project Supervisor shall
determine the necessary precautions needed to either remove the hazard, change to a non-hazard, or
protect from the hazard (use of personal protective equipment) to safeguard the Employees present. In
addition, the Project Supervisor shall provide specific safety training for Employees present or affected.
