Hazard Communication Program

Welcome to the Hazard Communication Program webpage, brought to you by NMSU Environmental Health Safety & Risk Management (EHS&RM). Our commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy campus environment extends to every member of our university community. Understanding and effectively communicating about hazards in the workplace is essential for promoting a culture of safety and protecting the well-being of all individuals.

The Hazard Communication Program serves as a comprehensive framework to identify, evaluate, and communicate information regarding hazardous materials and substances present on our campus. By adhering to the guidelines set forth in this program, we aim to minimize the potential risks associated with these materials, fostering a safer and more productive educational and work environment.

Through this webpage, we provide you with vital resources, tools, and information to enhance your understanding of hazard communication protocols. Whether you are a faculty member, staff, student, or visitor, we believe that knowledge is the key to prevention and preparedness.

Here, you will find valuable resources such as safety data sheets, training materials, hazard identification guidelines, and relevant policies and procedures. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge necessary to identify, handle, store, and dispose of hazardous materials in a safe and responsible manner. We also offer training programs and workshops to further educate and empower individuals across all departments and disciplines.

The Hazard Communication Program not only complies with legal requirements, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), but also aligns with our university's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. By integrating hazard communication principles into our everyday practices, we can collectively contribute to a healthier and more sustainable campus community.

We encourage you to explore this webpage and take advantage of the resources provided. Your active participation and engagement in the Hazard Communication Program will help us foster a culture of safety, well-being, and environmental responsibility at NMSU. Together, we can create a campus environment where everyone can thrive and succeed, free from unnecessary risks and hazards.
