What is not included in the hazard communications standard?

The hazard communications standard, often referred to as HazCom, is designed to ensure that information about chemical hazards is effectively communicated to employees. This includes critical components such as safety data sheets for hazardous materials, proper labeling of chemical containers, and specific information regarding the chemical hazards that employees may encounter in the workplace.

In the context of the question, employee training on evacuation routes, while important for overall workplace safety, is not directly part of the hazard communications standard. The standard focuses specifically on how to inform and train employees about chemical hazards and the associated risks, rather than broader emergency procedures like evacuation. Thus, employee training related to evacuation routes falls outside the primary focus of hazard communication, which aims to prevent and mitigate risks linked with chemical exposure rather than emergency response actions.
