Hazard communication training is essential for all employees working with hazardous substances because it equips them with the knowledge needed to understand the hazards they may encounter, how to effectively communicate those hazards, and the proper measures to take to protect themselves. This type of training ensures that employees can interpret safety data sheets, recognize warning labels, and are aware of safe handling practices, which are crucial for maintaining a safe workplace.

Annual refresher training is required to ensure that employees remain informed about any new hazards, updates in protocols, and changes in regulations that may occur. This ongoing education reinforces a culture of safety and helps prevent accidents and health issues associated with exposure to hazardous materials.

In contrast, while emergency response training and personal protective equipment training are also important, they may not be mandated annually for all types of employees. Hazardous waste disposal training is generally more specific to roles that directly manage or handle waste, and not all employees may require this training every year.
