Introduction to the MAXCOM™ System
The MAXCOM System is a chemical category-based program that helps your employer provide you, the employee, with important information about the chemicals in your workplace. The more you are educated about the chemicals you are working with, the safer you will be.
Take an active
part in your safety. Learn how the
MAXCOM System works and make sure you are comfortable with the procedures for
accessing chemical information. If
you ever have questions about a chemical, the MAXCOM System or your work
environment, you should contact your supervisor.
MAXCOM categorizes all chemicals in your workplace and places them into one of 36 categories called Safe Use Guides and 3 Hazard Levels (Red, Yellow, or Green), which inform a user of the hazards associated with the chemical.
