Free Webinar on OSHA’s New Hazard Communication Requirements
The July 25 event is designed to answer some of the most common questions OSHA has received in the first year of Hazard Communication 2012 implementation
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) revised its Hazard Communication Standard to align with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). By December 1, 2013, all employers with hazardous chemicals in the workplace must conduct new training for workers on the new label elements and safety data sheets format to facilitate recognition and understanding.
OSHA has prepared a number of materials to assist employers in complying with the new updates. TheHazard Communication Web page explains the changes and contains a number of materials including: a new fact sheet that reviews the new training requirements, new QuickCards that review the new pictogram label requirements, and a brief on labels and pictograms.
