title: Comprehensive training for hazard communication.
abstract: Long before the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard caught the attention of the dental profession, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration required all employers to collect information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace and provide information and training to employees regarding the materials. The Hazard Communication Standard requires employers to establish written programs, collect specific information regarding workplace chemicals, and conduct a formal training program for employees.
