29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1): Employers shall provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new chemical hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area. Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) or specific chemicals. Chemical-specific information must always be available through labels and safety data sheets.    Throughout All Edsal Facilities- On or about September 23, 2014, the employer did not provide information and training to all employees who were required to conduct machine repair or maintenance operations while using hazardous chemicals such as oils and lubricants. Employees were thereby exposed to the chemical hazards of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
