OSHA Has Books
Below are a great selection of books from OSHA. These may be 20 – 100 pages and include items such as guides on what they require for training.
Note – I have included the pdf version, but if you go to the OSHA website, they also have MOBI and EPUB.

SDS Quick Card from OSHA
Here is a great reference card – great for training, posting at or near your Chemical SDS Binder (you have one of those, right?), etc.
This comes from OSHA, so it is a good idea to have their materials on hand – especially if they show up!

NIOSH Method Finder
NIOSH guide on testing for chemicals – note, this is for industrial hygiene types who will be using sampling pumps. Higher level information. Here is the description from their page:
“NMAM is a collection of methods for sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed. These methods have been developed or adapted by NIOSH or its partners and have been evaluated according to established experimental protocols and performance criteria. NMAM also includes chapters on quality assurance, sampling, portable instrumentation, etc.”
