Which of the following is a major component of a HAZCOM program?

• A. Facility security plan
• B. Written plans
• C. Medical surveillance
• D. Employee reimbursement policy

Answer: (B)

Hazard communication programs center on documenting how chemical hazards are conveyed to workers. A written hazard communication plan is the framework that ties together labeling, access to Safety Data Sheets, employee training, and the management of chemical inventories. Having a written plan ensures a systematic, consistent approach to communicating hazards and demonstrates regulatory compliance. The other options don’t fit because a facility security plan covers access control and overall security, medical surveillance is about health monitoring rather than hazard communication, and an employee reimbursement policy is unrelated to communicating chemical hazards.
