Identifying safety risks inherent to the chemical industry, this new
book identifies steps that safety managers can implement in their
facilities to minimize the occurrence and severity of accidents. Drawing
together in one volume everything employers need to know about
applicable OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
standards, this book provides expert, easy-to-read insight into
interpreting OSHA's chemical manufacturing standards, training
requirements, and Hazard Communication Standard. Intended as a reference
tool for use in the office and on the production floor, this book allows
safety managers to quickly understand complicated OSHA requirements. It
removes much of the confusion and stress from the compliance process by
providing detailed examples of various required documents and processes.
For added convenience, the authors include a sample Hazard Communication
Program, a comprehensive and easy-to-use sample chemical hygiene plan, a
sample chemical safety program, and a sample chemical industry emergency
response plan, all of which conform to OSHA standards.
