Part 3 — Certification

I certify that the employee named above was trained on the hazardous chemicals in their work area, our labeling system, how to obtain and use Safety Data Sheets, and our protective measures (29 CFR 1910.1200(h)).

HazCom doesn’t prescribe a certification form, but keeping a record of who was trained, when and on what is good practice and helps show compliance. This form does not replace the employer’s own program, and LifeSafetyWiki does not certify competence. Not an OSHA Outreach (10/30-hour) card.
