29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1): Employers did not 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 physical or health hazard the employees had not previously been trained about was introduced into their work area and chemical-specific information was not always available through labels and material safety data sheets: The employer does not ensure that employees are trained on the physical and health hazards when new chemicals including but not limited to non diesel liquid hydrocarbons used in the drilling mud are brought to the drilling location.
