According to OSHA, "implementing GHS will enhance worker comprehension, resulting in appropriate handling and use of chemicals." OSHA further states that "the primary benefit of the GHS is to increase the quality and consistency of information provided to workers, employers and chemical users by adopting a standardized approach to hazard classification, labels and safety data."
The June 2016 deadline requires suppliers to provide end users with the new Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for each of their products. While most of you are concentrating on training your employees to read and interpret the new SDS, labels, and pictograms, you may be overlooking the fact that many suppliers will not meet this deadline, causing confusion for your workers.
In addition, the new SDS will continue to be written by technical professionals, most will increase in size, and the much-touted pictograms are likely to initially add more confusion than clarity to your safety program.
This FREE GHS webinar will provide you with an update on the current status of the new SDS and other GHS changes or additions, and we will also explore some ideas that can be implemented in your workplace to ensure your employees can work more safely with hazardous materials.
