PROGRAM: Global Harmonization and What it Will Mean For Your Company’s Hazard Communication Program

One of the most commonly cited OSHA standards, the Hazard Communication Standard has gotten a face lift. OSHA has brought the standard into closer alignment with the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) already used in many countries. The system provides a single framework for classifying chemicals, labels and safety data sheets and increases the quality and consistency of hazard information. This presentation will provide an overview of GHS, the changes to OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard and what impact these changes will have on your health and safety program.
