The purpose of Lehigh University's Hazard Communication Program is to ensure Lehigh employees are effectively informed concerning workplace health and safety hazards, especially chemical hazards.

The written Hazard Communication program addresses chemicals known to be present in the workplace to which employees may be exposed under normal conditions of use or in a foreseeable emergency.  The Lehigh University Hazard Communication Program extends to all Lehigh employees.
