you have been working at a manufacturing site but have been transitioned to a different part of the site with new responsbilities. when should your employer train you on any chemical hazards in this new responsibility?

Employers should train employees on any chemical hazards related to their new responsibilities before they start working in the new position. This training must happen prior to initial assignment to the new tasks involving chemical hazards to ensure employees are fully informed about the potential dangers and know how to protect themselves. Additionally, training is required whenever new hazards are introduced in the workplace. This training includes understanding labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), protective measures, and emergency procedures related to the chemicals they will encounter. It should be provided in a manner and language that employees can understand to ensure their safety and compliance with regulations. In summary, the employer must provide chemical hazard training before an employee begins their new duties involving those hazards, not during or after starting the new tasks.
