When you need it

Your chemical register shows gaps. If you can't name every chemical on site and its hazards, your team needs training.
CHRA findings say handlers need training. A Chemical Health Risk Assessment often flags that the people who touch the chemicals haven't been trained.
USECHH reg 22(1) requires it. "An employer who undertakes work which may expose or is likely to expose his employees to chemicals hazardous to health shall provide the employees with such information, instruction and training as may be necessary."
New chemical introduced on site. Every new substance means new hazards, new SDS sheets, and new PPE requirements.

What your team walks away with

Identify and classify chemical hazards using GHS pictograms and hazard statements
Interpret and apply Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to everyday chemical handling tasks
Implement safe chemical storage, segregation, and labelling practices
