CSP Domain 7: Training
A fabrication shop has used the same solvent-based cleaners for years, and all employees were trained on them at hire. The purchasing manager switches to a new cleaner that contains a chemical with a hazard (carcinogenicity) the employees have never been trained about. What does the hazard communication standard require?
Show answer and source: 29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1)
Answer: D. Training on the new hazard is required when the new chemical hazard is introduced into the work area, because the employees have not previously been trained about it
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1), requires training at initial assignment and whenever a new chemical hazard employees have not been trained about enters their work area. Keeping the safety data sheet (SDS) on file does not replace training. The trigger applies to any new hazard, not just flammability, and sets no yearly retraining cycle.
On the job
A water treatment plant operator's supervisor learns that a replacement descaling agent for the filter beds carries a health hazard the crew has never been trained on. The supervisor does not treat the SDS in the binder as enough. Because a new chemical hazard is entering the work area, training on that hazard is delivered before the product is used.

Answer D comes from
29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1)(opens ecfr.gov in a new tab)“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.”
