About Hazard Communications
The purpose of a Hazard Communication Program to inform
employees of chemical hazards they may be exposed to
in the workplace under normal conditions of use, or in a
foreseeable emergency. For NASA center resources in the
area of hazard communication go to the NASA Center

communication resources that are available to you.
