COMMUNICATION PROGRAM REGARDING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS <br />Before beginning a new project the management in charge must decide if any danger exists that <br />may expose the employees, this will include analyzing the possibility of the presence of <br />hazardous materials due to other companies that may be working on the same Project. <br />This analysis of dangerous conditions is not only done with respect to chemicals, but also <br />regarding any other type of danger, as for example, work near lakes or canals, on slopes, and where <br />there may be a possibility of falling objects, etc. When the existence of a hazard is identified, before <br />beginning work, a training meeting will be held with the employees who might be exposed to such <br />hazards. The meeting will be recorded, and is to be signed by all who attend. <br />Before asking an employee to work with chemicals or other potentially dangerous substances that <br />might affect his health, the employee must first be trained to handle such products. Literature <br />and MSDS Labels regarding dangerous products can be requested or reviewed at the office. <br />Employees who apply pesticides must be appropriately trained and qualified.
