All workplaces have hazards. Employees must be educated—in advance—about the potential hazards in their work environment. Employees who work in the cleaning industry deal with safety hazards every day. Some of the potential hazards include exposure to toxic cleaning chemicals, exposure to infectious agents and bloodborne pathogens, electrical and equipment hazards, and more.
Hazardous Communications, also known as an Employee's Right-To-Know, covers both identified and potential hazards in the workplace, specifically chemical hazards, physical hazards, noise hazards, and infectious hazards.
Hazardous Communications also introduces employees to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the information the documents contain, so employees know how to use these documents to keep themselves safe when handling chemical products.
