Maintaining
Maintain the Program
Once a hazard communication program has been put into effect in your aviary and laboratory, it is critical that the program be maintained and kept up to date. This ensures that all managers and employees are current on their information and training concerning the safe and proper use of hazardous materials in the aviary and laboratory.
The aviculturist employer should periodically maintain and update the following parts of the hazard communication program:
 Files containing current MSDS’s.
 Labeling requirements and procedures.
 The written hazard communication program.
 All training procedures and records of employees who have completed training.
Checklist for Compliance
Aviculturist employers may use the checklist below to ensure that they are in compliance with the OSHA Standard. Employees may wish to provide a copy of this list to their employers to make sure that the aviculture laboratory is in compliance with the Standard.
Further Assistance
For further information regarding this Standard and compliance, contact your local OSHA Area Office. Also, each OSHA Regional Office has a Hazard Communication Coordinator who can answer questions specific to this Standard. These telephone numbers should be listed in your local telephone directory. If they are not, or if these individuals are unable to answer your questions, contact OSHA’s Office of information and Consumer Affairs for further assistance and/or contacts.
