(a) Every non-manufacturing employer shall provide an education and training program for its employees who use or handle hazardous chemicals. Additional instruction shall be provided whenever a new hazard is introduced into their work area or whenever new and significant information is received by the non-manufacturing employer concerning the hazards of a chemical. New or newly assigned employees shall be provided training before working in a work area containing hazardous chemicals.
(b) The education and training program provided pursuant to subsection (a) shall be developed in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the commissioner, which shall include, at a minimum, requirements regarding:
(1) Information on interpreting labels and MSDSs and the relationship between these two (2) methods of hazards communication;
(2) The location and availability of the workplace chemical list and MSDSs;
(3) Any operation in an employee's work area where hazardous chemicals are present;
(4) The physical and health hazards of the hazardous chemicals in the work area;
(5) Protective measures that employees may use to protect themselves from these hazards, including appropriate work practices, emergency procedures and personal protective equipment;
(6) Frequency of training; and
(7) General safety instructions on the handling, cleanup and disposal of hazardous chemicals.
(c) Manufacturing and non-manufacturing employers shall keep a record of the dates of training sessions given to their employees.
(d) The commissioner, pursuant to § 50-3-2011, shall develop and maintain a general education and training assistance program to aid those non-manufacturing employers who, because of size or other practical considerations, are unable to develop the programs by themselves. The program shall be made available to the non-manufacturing employers upon request.
(e) The hazard communication program and employee information and training required of manufacturing employers pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.1200(e) and (h) and the education and training program pursuant to subsection (a) shall require annual refresher training after the initial training pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.1200(e) and (h) and subsection (a) is conducted, unless the commissioner grants an exemption from annual refresher training. The exemption may be granted if the commissioner determines that the nature of the work assignment, the level of exposure or the nature of the hazardous chemical involved would not reasonably require annual refresher training. The commissioner shall promulgate rules and regulations in accordance with § 50-3-2007 that establish the criteria for granting the exemptions.
