For this assignment, imagine that you were recently hired as the safety officer at a chemical manufacturing facility with over 1,000 different chemicals on site. The facility does not have a functioning hazard communication (HazCom) program. You determine that you need to start from scratch on the program. Provide a detailed approach for the steps you would take to develop an effective HazCom program for the facility. Your paper must at least address the issues listed below.
· What steps would you take to ensure you are in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) HazCom regulation?
· Which best practice steps would you include that go beyond compliance with the OSHA regulation to make the program more effective?
· Which employees at the facility would you use to complete the process?
· How would you conduct training after the initial steps have been completed?
· How would you make the safety data sheets (SDSs) available to employees?
· What procedures would you use to evaluate the effectiveness of the program?
