Hazard Communication – Past, Present and Future -- Occupational Health & Safety

Hazard Communication – Past, Present and Future

It has been 40 years since The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) was first adopted by OSHA for the manufacturing industry. Since that time a great number of changes have been made to the HCS including the Global Harmonized System (GHS) which helped standard the information given to employees who handle hazardous chemicals. In the near future, OSHA is looking to adopt even more changes to HCS to better protect employees in the workplace.

This webinar will review the original HCS requirements, the additional GHS provisions added in 2012 and several of the proposed changes that could help better protect American workers.

Speaker:

Stephen E. Badger
Manager, Loss Control
Maine Employers Mutual Insurance Company (MEMIC)

“My belief concerning safety management is that it is always a work in-progress. It is one thing to write and implement a safety program, but a company needs to review and update their programs regularly to keep it relevant to the workplace. Too often we see good programs that become stagnant and no longer useful.”

Stephen has over 37 years of safety experience working in a variety of industries. His experience in the papermaking, medical sterilization and construction industries gives him a unique perspective of the safety needs in manufacturing facilities and in the field. He encourages companies to find innovative safety solutions and not just settle for a “quick fix.” He facilitates employers tapping into their most valuable asset, their employees, for ideas and solutions that may not be available anywhere else.

Stephen has earned his Certified Safety Professional (CSP), Occupational Health and Safety Technologist (OHST) and Workers’ Compensation Professional (WCP®) designations. He is a member of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and is an authorized training instructor fhrough the OSHA Training Institute in Manchester, NH. In addition to his experience as a safety professional, he has formal training in industrial hygiene practices and indoor air quality testing.
