About GHS Training Kit - OSHA Compliant Workplace How To

WHAT IS GHS? GHS(Globally Harmonized System) was developed by the United Nations to be adopted as a worldwide program. The Globally Harmonized System creates a consistent system of classifying chemical hazards on labels, safety data sheets through standardization. This was achieved by a combination of hazard statements, hazard symbols and hazard signal words. WHEN DID OSHA IMPLEMENT GHS? The UN’s GHS lays out the standardization practices for participating countries but does not enforce compliance. Each country is responsible for adopting and implementing the GHS through their enforcement agencies, like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). On March 26, 2012, OSHA published the final rule to revise the Hazard Communication Standard §1910.1200 to align with the GHS. WHAT TRAINING NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED? Under OSHA's new GHS regulations, if a business uses hazardous chemicals in the workplace, employers are required to carry out training in the following: Train your employees in the new GHS label elements Train your employees in the new safety data sheet (SDS) format WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR PROVIDING TRAINING? You must start your training right away. OSHA's final deadline for mandatory training is June 1st, 2016. Failure to provide training can put your business at serious risk of government imposed fines and employee lawsuits.
