This document provides information on safety data sheets and offers a training manual to help restaurant managers understand how to use safety data sheets and how to manage hazardous products in the workplace.
This document is a manual designed to assist restaurant managers in complying with the Canadian federal legislation regarding Hazardous Products (SIMDUT). It outlines legal requirements for employers to inform employees about chemical dangers and risks associated with products used on the job site.
The guide provides specific tools for creating a written hazard communication program, including a training scenario script, visual aids for explaining Safety Data Sheets (FDS), employee declaration forms, and lists of hazardous chemicals. It emphasizes the need for initial and ongoing employee training whenever new hazards are introduced. This manual is written in French.
Chemical risks are divided into physical risks and health hazards.
Employees must be trained during their initial orientation and whenever a new danger or risk is introduced to the work area.
FDS must be kept at all times in a folder titled 'Right to Understand' (Droit de comprendre).
