Printed in full colour on pliable plastic, it is offered in 18 X 24 in and 24 X 36 in. Made in Canada, it is sold individually.

18 X 24 in for a room or bulletin board, 24 X 36 in for a large wall or a training room.

English.

Does the chart replace training?

No. It serves as a reminder at the workstation; training and access to SDSs are still required.

No. The HAZCOM 2012 reference describes the edition presented, not a guarantee that all later amendments are covered. Check its content against current requirements and your workplace SDSs; this reference does not replace training or applicable procedures.

Suggestions for the GHS HAZCOM requirements chart

For complementary workplace equipment, compare the SecureFit (YASF202) SF202AF as an eyewear choice, the Virtua (YA11329) Max with clear lenses as an alternative eyewear choice, the latex (G518) Chemstop gloves selected according to the SDS, the nitrile (GK72280) orange Duracore gloves for compatible tasks, and the coverall (VTY127SWH) in Tyvek 400 for separate particulate tasks according to its instructions. Eyewear and glove models are options, not a universal kit: select PPE according to the SDS, exposure and manufacturer limitations.The Tyvek 400 coverall suggested for particulate tasks is not universal chemical protection.

Under “Accessories” at the bottom of the page. Looking for complementary equipment? Consider the eyewash (PD19214EW) unit in the pedestal-mounted Halo design, the cover (ABUC) for a drain, selected for the liquid and response procedure, and the cabinet (WA45ULC) for compatible flammable liquids. Verify equipment compatibility with the substances, installation and site procedures.
