HazCom obligations include informing workers about chemical hazards.

• A. HazCom directs employers to inform workers about chemical hazards.
• B. HazCom requires workers to identify hazards without employer input.
• C. HazCom only applies to consumer chemicals.
• D. HazCom requires labeling but no training.

Answer: (A)

HazCom requires employers to actively inform workers about chemical hazards in the workplace and to provide the training and information needed to work safely with those chemicals. This means more than just having labels on containers; it includes making safety data sheets accessible, implementing a formal hazard communication program, and giving workers training on how to read labels and SDS, understand hazard pictograms, recognize exposure risks, and apply proper protective measures. The emphasis is on communication from the employer to employees, ensuring workers aren’t left to identify hazards on their own. HazCom applies to hazardous chemicals used in workplace settings, not just consumer products, and it covers both labeling and training. So informing workers about chemical hazards is an employer obligation under HazCom.
