Before you buy: what’s included, and what your office adds
How it works: self-paced online lessons with short videos and a quiz after each lesson. There is no live class or instructor. Learners can send a question to our trainers from any lesson (we answer within 2 business days) or call (916) 770-4050, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Pacific. Each person who passes gets a dated certificate of completion. It is not continuing-education (CE) credit.
The training must cover the chemicals in your work area and where your written program, inventory and safety data sheets are kept. Use our lessons for the standard, then show staff your own binder or digital SDS library.
Who it’s for
- Anyone who works with or near hazardous chemicals: disinfectants, sterilants, X-ray and lab chemicals, impression materials.
- New staff at the time of their first assignment.
- Office managers who keep the written hazard communication program and chemical inventory.
What OSHA requires, and when
The Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200(h), requires employers to give employees effective information and training on the hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of initial assignment and whenever a new chemical hazard is introduced. California’s version is Cal/OSHA 8 CCR §5194, with the same triggers.
Neither standard sets a fixed annual refresher. Many practices still repeat HazCom training each year so new products and new staff are never missed, and so the record is easy to show an inspector.

A dated certificate anyone can verify
Dated, with a serial number

Anyone can check it
An auditor, inspector or employer can confirm a certificate is genuine at hipaa.comodotechnology.com/verify, with no account and without contacting us.
