Class Description: GHS/Hazard Communication
Title: Hazard Communication:
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
With the addition of the Globally Harmonized System requirements each employee will need to receive training about the new pictograms, classifications and labeling. The deadline for communicating this information was December 1, 2013 in order to prepare workers for the gradual changes in the labeling they will see on hazardous products. A full transformation to the GHS is required by June 2016 so it is essential that employees understand the new means of communicating hazards that will be in effect.
The hazard communication class is designed to give a better understanding of OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard and what it applies to. Students will have gain insight into the various components of the standard (1910.1200) and learn what is required with regards to training, labeling, MSDS sheets, and information awareness.
