California Freight Safety Manual and IIPP Safety Coordinator will also review all incoming SDS for completeness. If an SDS is missing or obviously incomplete, a new SDS will be requested from the manufacturer. CAL/OSHA will be notified if a complete SDS is not received and the manufacturer will not supply one. New materials will not be introduced into the shop or field until an SDS has been received. The purchasing department will make it an ongoing part of their function to obtain SDS for all new materials when they are first ordered. Container Labeling No container of hazardous substances will be used unless the container is correctly labeled and the label is legible. All chemicals in cans, bags, drums, pails, etc., will be checked by the receiving department to ensure the manufacturer's label is intact, is legible, and has not been damaged in any manner during shipment. Any containers found to have damaged labels will be held until a new label has been installed. New labels will be obtained from the manufacturer. The label must contain: • The chemical name of the contents. • The appropriate hazard warnings. • The name and address of the manufacturer. All secondary containers will be labeled as to their contents with a reference to the original label. Employee Information and Training All employees will be provided information and training on the following items through the California Freight safety training program and prior to starting work with hazardous substances: 1. An overview of the requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard, including their rights under this regulation. 2. Information regarding the use of hazardous substances in their specific work areas. 3. The location and availability of the written hazard communication program. The program will be available from the Supervisor and Safety Coordinator. 4. The physical and health hazards of the hazardous substances in use. 5. Methods and observation techniques used to determine the presence or release of hazardous substances in the work area. 6. The controls, work practices and personal protective equipment that are available for protection against possible exposure. 7.
