Alexandria, VA, August 22, 2013 – The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is pleased to announce the availability of its recently revised online NATA Safety 1st Hazardous Communications (HazCom) training program.
In 2012, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) finalized rule changes aligning its HazCom Standard with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). OSHA has required that employers train their employees on the new label elements and safety data sheet format contained within the rule by December 1, 2013. Employers can now utilize the revised NATA Safety 1st HazCom module to meet this critical deadline for training employees.
For more information or to purchase the HazCom Training Module please visit www.nata.aero/HazCom.
“We are very excited to be able to provide this resource to our members and the industry,” said NATA Director, Safety and Training, Michael France. “Hazardous communications are a vital regulatory compliance component for any business, but they also just make good safety sense. A properly informed and educated employee is able to make safer decisions at work.”
The NATA Safety 1st HazCom training module is an online training module suitable for FBOs, maintenance and flight departments and any other aviation business. The training includes downloadable and printable student resources as well as a printable certificate of completion to aid in record-keeping. The HazCom training program is available for purchase online for $24 per student with volume discounts for purchases greater than 50 students.
