The basic goal of hazard communication is to ensure that employees understand the hazards of chemicals and the precautions they must take to protect their safety, health, and the environment. For decades now, ever since OSHA developed the Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom), one of the key elements in hazard communication has been the chemical label. Now, under the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), developed under the auspices of the United Nations, chemical labels will look different and display more information.
This training resource is to train employees on the significance and impact of GHS and to describe GHS-compliant labels so that employees who now rely on them will understand the change and use them effectively.
When the training is complete, employees will be able to:
- Understand GHS and how it affects hazard communication in the workplace.
- Identify a chemical using its label.
- Interpret the signal word on the label.
- Recognize the hazard symbol or pictogram.
- Interpret the label’s hazard statement.
- Know what precautions to take with the chemical
