ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý

A. General. The ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý is committed to creating, maintaining, and promoting a safe and healthful environment for all students, employees, and visitors. A critical component of the university's environmental health and safety commitment is ensuring personnel are aware of, and know how to properly respond to, all hazards of their workplaces including chemical hazards, using practices such as those described in this Hazard Communication (HazCom) Program.

B. Scope. In order to comply with state regulations and protect employees, this policy statement concerning the Hazard Communication Program has been established for the ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý. All campuses, colleges, schools, and administrative offices are incorporated within this program. This policy statement applies to all university employees at all university locations including the Moscow main campus and any branch campuses, Research and Extension Centers, all other university-owned property, university-leased space, and temporary field locations and field trips that are under the control of university operations and staff.

B-1. Exceptions. This policy statement does not apply to:

• Any chemical waste, including hazardous waste (see APM 35.40);
• Biological hazards (see APM 35.11);
• Ionizing or nonionizing radiation (see APM 35.81);
• Any consumer product that is used for its intended purpose, and the use results in a duration and frequency of exposure which is not greater than the range of exposures that could reasonably be experienced by consumers;
• Labeling of any pesticide as defined in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

C. ÐÒÔË¿ìÈý Compliance Responsibility. Unit administrators are responsible for the health and safety performance in their respective units (see APM 35.33). This responsibility can neither be transferred nor delegated.
