Which of the following items is considered part of hazard communication documentation?

• A. Hazard communication training records
• B. Up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• C. Hazard communication posters in break rooms
• D. Emergency evacuation routes

Answer: (B)

Hazard communication documentation centers on the official records that convey chemical hazards to workers. Safety Data Sheets provide the essential, detailed information about each chemical’s hazards, properties, safe handling, storage, and emergency measures, and they must be current and readily accessible. That makes them the primary item that constitutes hazard communication documentation. Training records show that training occurred, but they document activities rather than the hazard information itself. Posters in break rooms are helpful reminders but do not serve as formal hazard documentation. Emergency evacuation routes pertain to emergency planning, not the communication of chemical hazards.
