Practical Solutions Consulting presents: GHS Train-the-Trainer
Date: November 26, 2013
Time: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Event Description
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. It is a logical and comprehensive approach to:
-
Defining health, physical and environmental hazards of chemicals;
-
Creating classification processes that use available data on chemicals for comparison with the defined hazard criteria; and
-
Communicating hazard information, as well as protective measures, on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
OSHA is requiring that employees are trained on the new label elements (i.e., pictograms, hazard statements, precautionary statements, and signal words) and SDS format by December 1, 2013
