Hazardous Communication
The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) recognizes that employees have a right and need to know the properties and potential safety and health hazards of substances to which they may be exposed in the course of performing their duties, and that such knowledge is essential for maintaining the general health and welfare of faculty, staff, and students and reducing the incidence and cost of occupational illness and injury.
It shall be the policy of the UTD to provide employees with appropriate training and information on the safe handling and work practices associated with hazardous chemicals, materials, and conditions to which employees may be exposed in the work place. This shall be accomplished by complying with the State of Texas Hazard Communication Act (Section 520), which is incorporated into this policy. Any amendments to this Standard will be considered to be incorporated into this Policy on the date they become effective.
Implementation of this Policy shall be accomplished through the UTD Hazard Communication Program. EH&S will conduct training periodically. For additional information please call EH&S at 4111.
