8.4 Chemical Hazard Communication (HazCom)

Hazard Communication is a set of instructions to keep employees safe by providing information about potential sources of injury when using hazardous chemicals in the workplace. EGNW is not considered a manufacturer, importer or seller of hazardous chemicals. The company recognized that employees are exposed to hazardous chemical from donated items. New chemical purchase will be approved by R&S to ensure no new risk is introduced into the business, develop chemical emergency protocol, training of employees, availability of PPE and disposal of hazardous waste. SDS will be maintained by R&S in R&S folder. EGNW employees will receive formal and documented training on the Hazardous Communication Program within 90 days of recruitment. Training will be delivered during orientation on “Training At Goodwill” (TAG). The HazCom program will include: • Identifying and listing hazardous chemicals in use by employees. • Ensuring chemical containers are labeled. • Ensuring employees have access to Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). • Training employees on the hazards of chemicals they work with, safe work practices to avoid exposure, signs and symptoms of exposure, and what to do in the case of a spill or emergency. • Ensuring employees adhere to posted warnings and safety information. Employees working with hazardous chemicals will comply with chemical hazard requirements in the SDS, HazCom program, instructions and policies. Hazardous waste will have a proper waste profile approved and records maintained by R&S. Employees handling hazardous waste will be properly trained and certified on “Training At Goodwill” (TAG). For further details refer to HAZCOM Program.
