Which of the following is the employer's responsibility under California's Hazard Communication (HazCom) standard?

Explanation

The employer's duties come in four parts: a written programme with an inventory of the hazardous chemicals present; labels on every container in the workplace; a safety data sheet for each chemical, readily accessible in the work area during each shift; and training at initial assignment and whenever a new hazard is introduced. Option (b) invents a purchase-date cut-off - the standard covers chemicals PRESENT, whenever they were bought. Option (c) is the misconception worth catching: a list on the break-room wall is neither a label nor an accessible sheet, and access has to be where the work is, not in a room the crew visits twice a day. Option (d) invents a Cal/OSHA filing; the hazardous materials business plan a contractor may owe goes to the local certified unified program agency and is an environmental filing.
