# Training Center: Stop Managing Safety Training in Spreadsheets
OSHA's HazCom standard requires that workers be trained on the hazards of chemicals before they work with them. Not after. Not "when we get around to it." Before. And the training must cover specific topics defined in 29 CFR 1926.59(h).
Most construction companies track training in spreadsheets—or worse, filing cabinets full of paper sign-in sheets. When OSHA asks "Show me the training record for this worker on this chemical," the scramble begins.
HazComFast's Training Center replaces the scramble with a system.
What OSHA Requires for HazCom Training
Per 29 CFR 1926.59(h), employers must train workers on:
1. Operations in work areas where hazardous chemicals are present
2. Location and availability of the written HazCom program, SDS library, and chemical list
3. Methods to detect the presence or release of hazardous chemicals
4. Physical and health hazards of chemicals in the work area
5. Protective measures — PPE, work practices, emergency procedures
6. How to read labels and SDSs — understanding GHS pictograms, signal words, and hazard statements
Training must occur:
