Hazard CommunicationGHS training for employees
Recognize chemical hazards. Read labels and safety data sheets. Know when to stop and ask—before an unfamiliar chemical becomes an exposure.
27 minutes of video + assessments · English · Certificate included
General employee education supporting 29 CFR 1910.1200. Your employer must still provide workplace-specific instruction.
Chemical safety starts with the right information
A familiar container can hold an unfamiliar hazard. This course helps employees connect the product identifier, label and SDS—and use their employer’s approved protective measures instead of guessing.
- Recognize physical and health hazards without exposing yourself
- Read GHS label elements and find the matching safety data sheet
- Use employer-approved controls, work methods and protective equipment
- Stop and report an unfamiliar hazard instead of improvising
The online course is one part. Your workplace is the other.
Your employer must cover the actual chemicals, written program, SDS location, work methods, PPE and emergency procedures for your work area. Course completion does not authorize spill cleanup, respirator use or any task for which you have not been properly trained.
What’s in the course
Three teaching modules, each followed by two questions, then a five-question final assessment. Every assessment requires 80% to pass.
- 01
Recognize Workplace Chemical Hazards
Where HazCom applies, written programs, exposure routes, immediate and delayed harm, fire and reactivity, unsafe air, and recognizing a new hazard.
- 02
Use Labels and Safety Data Sheets
Product identifiers, signal words and pictograms, workplace labels, the immediate-use exception, and finding emergency and protection information in the SDS.
- 03
Apply Safe Work Practices
Employer-approved controls and PPE, storage compatibility, reporting and emergency boundaries, non-routine work, other employers, and your workplace checklist.
- 04
Final Assessment
Five cumulative questions after the three teaching-module quizzes. An 80% passing score applies to every assessment.
Who should take it
- Manufacturing and warehouse employees
- Maintenance and cleaning teams
- General-industry employees working around hazardous chemicals
Not a substitute for OSHA 10/30 Outreach, HAZWOPER, emergency-response qualification, chemical classification or DOT shipping training. If your job involves transportation, see our DOT hazmat course.
Regulatory basis
- 29 CFR 1910.1200(h)
Requires effective employee information and training, including work-area hazards and protective measures.
- 29 CFR 1910.1200(e)–(g)
Addresses the written hazard communication program, container labels and access to safety data sheets.
- 29 CFR 1910.1200(j)
Sets transition dates for the updated standard. Employer workplace updates and additional training are required as necessary for newly identified hazards, not as a blanket annual renewal.

HazCom training questions
Who is this HazCom course for?
This course is for general-industry employees who work with or around hazardous chemicals. It teaches general recognition, label and SDS skills; your employer must connect those skills to the actual hazards and protective measures in your work area.
Does this course replace workplace-specific training?
No. Your employer must provide effective information and training for the chemicals and hazards in your work area, including the written program, SDS access, labels, controls, PPE and emergency procedures. The online course supports that instruction; it does not complete those employer duties by itself.
Is this OSHA approved or an OSHA 10/30 card?
No. Evergreen Comply provides a certificate of completion for this course, not an OSHA approval, license or OSHA 10/30 Outreach card. It is not HAZWOPER, emergency-response qualification, chemical-classifier qualification or DOT hazmat shipper training.
How long does the course take?
There are approximately 27 minutes of video across 44 short lessons, plus module quizzes and a final assessment. Allow additional time for those assessments and the employer-specific instruction. This is the course duration, not an OSHA-mandated training length.
Is HazCom training required every year?
The federal Hazard Communication Standard does not set a universal annual retraining schedule. It requires effective training at initial assignment and when a new chemical hazard employees have not been trained about is introduced into their work area. Employers must address additional applicable requirements and any gaps in employee understanding.
What do I receive after completion?
After completing the course and passing its assessments, you can download an Evergreen Comply certificate of completion. The certificate PDF includes a two-page regulatory crosswalk. Employers should keep their own records of the workplace-specific instruction and practical checks as well.
How much does it cost for a team?
The one-time base price is $29 USD per seat before applicable tax. Existing multi-seat discounts apply automatically: 5% for 2 or more seats and 10% for 5 or more seats. You can also request a team invoice.
Is this course available in Spanish?
This course is currently in English. Employers must ensure instruction is effective for their employees, including language and literacy needs. Do not assign this English course as the only instruction if an employee cannot understand it.
