Questions
Does this meet OSHA hazard communication training requirements?
It teaches the basics of labels, safety data sheets and chemical safety, but employers must provide the training and records the law requires for their own products. Use SOPpal to support and record your program.
Does it cover biohazard or crime scene cleanup?
No. It tells cleaners not to handle needles or blood without training, and to report them. Specialized cleanup needs its own certified training.
Can I add site-specific checklists?
Yes. Record a guide for each site, turn it into a course, and require it for the crew that works there.
