Which item is listed as not part of a hazard communication program?

• A. Lockout/tagout
• B. PPE training
• C. Hazard communication training
• D. Written safety data sheets

Answer: (A)

Hazard communication programs focus on conveying chemical hazards to workers—keeping a written plan, maintaining labels and warnings, providing safety data sheets, and training employees on chemical hazards and protective measures like the proper use of PPE. Lockout/tagout is about isolating energy sources to prevent equipment from starting during maintenance, which belongs to an energy-control program, not hazard communication. That’s why lockout/tagout is the item not part of a hazard communication program. Written safety data sheets are a core element of hazard communication, and PPE training is typically included as part of hazard communication training to ensure workers know how to protect themselves when handling chemicals.
