Image Description

As a result of the federal government shutdown, as of midnight on October 31, 2025, all work performed by the federally funded USDA Circuit Riders has been halted until additional federal funding is made available.

The Maryland Rural Water Association has decided to continue to provide services during this lapse of federal funding. The services provided by our Circuit Riders will be temporarily funded with non-federal internal revenue and cannot be considered services that represent or are provided by the federal government.

We will notify you when additional federal funding is made available. In the interim, please do not hesitate to contact MRWA and our Circuit Riders should you need assistance. MRWA continues to stand by our Members and the small and rural water systems of Maryland during this time. Thank you for your understanding.

Description:  Over 30 million American workers are exposed to hazardous chemicals in their workplaces. Chemicals pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation, sensitization, and carcinogenicity) and physical hazards (such as flammability, corrosion, and reactivity). OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard (HCS) is designed to ensure that information about these hazards and associated protective measures is disseminated. The HCS is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This course will discuss hazard communication (Right-to-Know) with the updates to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS); and will provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets.
