Which factors are used in determining whether a chemical is covered in the HAZCOM standard?
The factors used to determine if a chemical is covered under the Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) standard include its potential physical hazards, health hazards, and whether it is classified as hazardous according to OSHA's criteria. Additionally, the presence of specific chemical properties that pose risks to workers, such as toxicity, flammability, and reactivity, play a critical role. The standard also considers the potential for exposure in the workplace environment. If a chemical meets these criteria, it must be included in the HAZCOM program and properly labeled.
