In today's litigious society, we begin to take cautions, warnings and disclaimers from manufacturers' with a touch of skepticism or disregard. When it comes to hazardous chemicals in the work place, words, colors and symbols mean something. Not only is it your workers' right, it is their responsibility to know what they mean. This program will teach your employees to recognize and understand the different means of communication used to identify hazardous chemicals including the United Nation's new Globally Harmonized System. The training program will educate your workers on the physical characteristics and chemical properties communicated in the material safety data sheets and on the container labels enabling them to make proper decisions concerning the safe use handling and storage of the substances. The program covers the purpose and role of hazard communication, the different classification of chemicals and their hazards, the primary forms of communication, and best practices and procedures to ensure their safety and health. Chemicals are an intricate and valuable part of our life. When respected and handled properly, they pose minimum risk our safety and health. Knowledge is a valuable safety tool. Not only is it your workers' right to know, it is their responsibility to use it to protect their safety and that of their co-workers.

Two people died and a third person was injured in an explosion in a garage in Edmonton, Canada. Gas from a fuel tank spilled and its vapors were ignited by a red-hot propane heater. This photograph shows the damage caused in the fire and explosion.
Working without fall protection on any roof is dangerous, but taking life or death risks on a crematorium roof is both hazardous and ironic.
This dramatic photograph shows what can happen when a garbage truck driver forgets to lower a raised bin before driving away. The driver survived, but not without injuries.
This photograph shows an extreme case of vehicle overloading on a highway. A gust of wind, an abrupt driving maneuver or failure of a component securing this load could have fatal consequences.
Practice makes perfect, or so it is said. But workers who perfect unsafe practices and think nothing bad will ever happen to them are often sadly proven wrong.
How many workers does it take to safely change a light bulb? Apparently more than these three guys.
Climbing a ladder requires concentration on one's placement of hands and feet, which means this worker may be oblivious to a sharp piece of metal protruding into the area just above his body.
Using an aluminum ladder around electricity is dangerous enough but this guy has raised the stakes considerably.
This ladder wasn't up to the task, so three workers extended its reach by lifting it into the air, with a fourth worker hanging on to it! This photograph illustrates one of the many unsafe ways of using a ladder.
Many workers, especially young workers out to make a good impression, won't speak up when they have a question, for fear of appearing naive or stupid. They need to know it's always better to ask a question--any question--than to risk injury by trying to figure out a procedure on their own.
Head protection: check. Hand protection: check. Two out of three [...]
This photograph was taken in Indonesia, but workers all over North America often place themselves in similar danger by attempting to lift or roll heavy objects that could crush them if they lost control of those items. In this photo, workers are seen pushing a huge log up a steep ramp to a truck bed.
It's not usually difficult for a driver to stay in his or her traffic lane, unless the lines resemble the ones shown in this photograph. This situation recently created chaos on Interstate 66 in Virginia.
This photograph depicts the dangerous combination of two pieces of lifting equipment being used to elevate a worker. Worse, someone is standing or walking directly under this dangerous situation.
Someone has added a few contaminants of his own to this eyewash station.
Why would anyone lean a ladder against a wall over an uncovered hole?
There are messy workplace and then there are th MESSY workplaces. Shown here is a housekeeping house of horrors that puts construction workers at serious risk for slip, trip and fall injuries.
This photograph illustrates a hazard seen time and time again in the workplace--workers standing under suspended loads. Yes, that's danger tape in front of the workers, warning people to stay away from the area. It appears that these workers didn't get the memo.
When your eyes are burning from contact with a splashed chemical and you desperately need an emergency eyewash station
