Pitt's Hazard Communication Program provides information to faculty, staff, and students on the hazards of chemicals and appropriate protective measures.
If you suspect you may be exposed to chemicals, contact your supervisor.
The information is communicated with:
- Labels (all containers must be labeled to identify contents).
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS) list chemical compositions, hazards, and precautions for each chemical or product.
- Chemical Inventories
- Chemical Hygiene training to be completed every three years
Additional Information:

- University of Pittsburgh Hazard Communication Program (PDF)
- Chemical Segregation Table (PDF)
Training: Any full, part-time, and temporary employee exposed to hazardous chemicals in the workplace must complete the training. Visit the Hazard Communications Training page for training details.
