Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Which of these must your employer provide under the HazCom standard?

 

Employers must provide a written program, labels, safety data sheets and training on the hazards of the chemicals you work with.

Lesson 1, Why this matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Why is a flour dust cloud in a bakery dangerous?

 

A cloud of fine dust can burn or explode. OSHA covers combustible dust as its own hazard group, and the dust can also irritate the lungs.

Lesson 2, Know the hazards, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

You need first aid information after a splash. Which SDS section has it?

 

Section 4 describes first-aid measures. Know where it is before you need it.

Lesson 4, Use the SDS, teaches this. See the outline
