| Description: |
Several years back, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) - a system designed to standardize hazard definitions, safety data sheets, classification of materials, and labeling. Now, OSHA is in the process of adopting these requirements for American workplaces.
The standardization will ultimately be good news for all concerned, facilitating improvements to both efficiency and worker safety. However, in the short term, the implementation of the GHS will require changes in all American workplace hazcom and other safety programs - including new labels and MSDSs. Things will get a little hairy for you if you don’t fully understand all the big changes looming on the horizon.
You’ll learn:- What the GHS is, and why your understanding of it is crucial
- How the proposed OSHA rule could affect your workplace
- The changes that would be required in classification, labeling, and employee training
- How the hazcom standard may be modified to align with the GHS
- What types of comments OSHA has received on the proposal
- Practical tips for compliance that you can implement right away

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
