Chemical-specific information must always be available through labels and material safety data sheets. Facility: The employees required to work with and handle chemicals, such as (but not limited to) battery acid, gasoline, oils, and other similar chemicals were not provided with information and training on the hazardous chemical communications at the time of initial assignments or whenever a new hazard was introduced into the work area.
