MAKEHOLE Drilling Co. - Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety Program
Section 1 - Purpose
This document serves as the MAKEHOLE Drilling Hazard Communication Program. It provides detailed
safety guidelines and instructions for receipt, use, and storage of chemicals at our jobsites by employees

and information necessary to protect their selves and co-workers from hazards encountered in the work
place.
