The Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) is based on a simple concept that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals that they are exposed to when working in occupational environments.
UW Stevens Point follows the requirements established by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (SPS 335.001 to 02) as adopted from the rules issued by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (1910.1200).
