SAFETY PROGRAM REVIEW
HAZ COMM UPDATE on
MSDS to SDS Conversion
The Safety Subscription program is working! Are you
subscribed? Are you conducting the training? Is it
time to delegate and let someone else at your facility
become Safety Supervisor? The most important as-
pect of your safety training program is consistency.
The NEW Hazardous Communications or HazComm
rules has mandated your MSDS be converted to the
new SDS format by June 2016. But where are all the
new SDS? The SDS conversion is slow to start and
has yet to build any momentum. In the next year we
should start to see SDS replacements for MSDS for
each of the chemicals used in your workplace and
listed on your inventory.
AIR BAG TRAINING HAZMAT SHIPPING
& FORKLIFT CERTIFICATION
Hazardous Material or HazMat shipping certification
and Forklift Operators certification is required once
every three years for workers designated to perform
those tasks. Look for training opportunities at the
Summer Outing or via Webinar through the I-CARE
Program that will be offered this year. Documenta-
tion for these certifications must be maintained for
each individual. The Safety Program binder is a good
pace to keep all things safety together in the event of
inspection!
