By: Compliance Solutions Developed by the United Nations, the idea of the GHS is existing chemical classification and labeling systems (like OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard or (HCS)) “should be harmonized in order to develop a single, globally harmonized system to address classification of chemicals, labels and safety data sheets.” According to the GHS R3, the goal of the GHS is to identify intrinsic dangers found in substances and mixtures and to convey hazard information about these. Beginning in December of 2013, the United States and it’s regulatory agencies (i.e. OSHA, EPA, DOT etc.) will be using the GHS labeling system and all of it’s recommended policies, for example: OSHA’s HAZCOM (Hazardous Communications) Training of all employees needs to be completed by December of 2013. For more information or to register for the GHS training, Compliance Solutions offers an interactive online training course for employees and supervisors to get your company in compliance with the new GHS requirements. http://www.csregs.com/ http://www.youtube.com/ End
