OSHA Small Business Outreach Seminars On Hazard Communication To Be Offered In June At Six Upstate New York Locations BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Helping small Upstate New York employers ensure the safety of their employees using hazardous chemicals is the goal of seminars being offered by the Buffalo office of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in conjunction with area organizations and colleges. The same seminar, on the topic of hazard communication, is being offered at six different locations during June as follows:
