GHS & HAZARD COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING

OSHA's Chemical Hazard Communication Standard is based on a simple concept that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to while working. This HazCom Standard is known as OSHA's Worker Right to Know Standard and is designed to provide you with the information you need to work safely.

This training covers basic OSHA requirements for proper communication methods about hazardous chemicals in any workplace, including the modification of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard to conform with the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) requirements.

All employees who work near or with hazardous chemicals.

After taking this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the OSHA Hazard Communication and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) standard.
• Recognize the requirements of an effective GHS HazCom program.
• Identify types of potential hazardous chemicals and the Hazardous Chemical Inventory, the purpose and information required by GHS of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), the required information for proper labels, including GHS pictograms, and HazCom information and training requirements.
