available to businesses, educational institutions, non-profit organizations,

employees with OSHA’s hazard communication standard (29CFR 1910.1200). It

workplace and identifies steps that the employee and employer must take to
ensure employee safety. Topics covered are:

- Warnings and labeling
- Material safety data sheets
- Safety practices
The course is designed to fulfill OSHA training requirements concerning the
hazard communication standard. This is a complete, turnkey CBT course that
can be used without modification. It includes interactive exercises to help
trainees master the material. It requires the Macromedia Authorware Web
Player, which is available at no cost. To obtain “Hazard Communication” at no
cost, complete an online application at the website that we operate for CBFO:
We will obtain necessary approvals and send you a user ID and a password,
allowing you to download a zipped file containing the course directly from the
web site. You can then use the course for internal training, educational,
research, and/or commercial purposes.
