New educational resources: Hazard Communication: Small Entity Compliance Guide, fact sheet on work-related asthma

Two new OSHA resources, “Hazard Communication: Small Entity Compliance Guide for Employers That Use Hazardous Chemicals” (PDF*) and a new fact sheet, “Steps to an Effective Hazardous Communication Program for Employers That Use Hazardous Chemicals” (PDF*), offer employers clear steps to create an effective hazard communication program — including a sample program and a quick guide to hazard communication training.
Also available is a new OSHA Fact Sheet, “Do You Have Work-Related Asthma? A Guide for You and Your Doctor” (PDF*) which offers key questions to ask, quick facts, helpful resources for workers, and a guide for clinicians to diagnose work-related asthma.
