The purpose of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Hazard Communication (HazCom) Program is to inform Rensselaer faculty, staff, and students of the chemical hazards they may encounter in their daily operations. Rensselaer is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all by educating individuals with written procedures, guidelines, and training to address how to classify chemical hazards, potential physical and health hazards, and the safe work practices that can minimize exposure to those hazards.
The HazCom Program describes the responsibilities of Principal Investigators (PIs), laboratory and department supervisors, laboratory workers, and Environmental Health & Safety (EHS). Protection from hazards provided by the program is meant to be consistent, whether in a chemical laboratory or in non-laboratory workplaces such as shops, custodial and maintenance services, and transportation facilities.
