GHS Webinar Series: “GHS Adoption by OSHA — What You Need to Do Now!”
OSHA plans to publish a final rule that will align the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) with GHS in early 2012. In response, MSDSonline is hosting a series of free Webinars to educate EH&S professionals on the coming changes.
Only 30 minutes long, the Webinar will provide an overview of OSHA’s proposed changes to the HCS and discuss steps your organization can take now to prepare for GHS. (Please note: this is a repeating Webinar, not a progression of Webinars. Simply select the date that works best for you.)

Developed by the United Nations, GHS stands for the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals; OSHA alignment with GHS will mean big changes for U.S. companies that make, transport, handle or otherwise use chemicals.The two biggest changes companies will see are to material safety data sheets (MSDS) and safety labels.
Chemical manufacturers will also have additional responsibilities around MSDS authoring and chemical classification. Taking a proactive approach is the best way to save time, money and keep your organization in compliance.
