The Hazard Communication Standard: Significant Changes are Finally Here – Are You Ready for GHS?
The Hazard Communication Standard Webinar Recording
You’ve probably had an effective and compliant hazcom program in place for a while now. The current Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) takes everything into account: training, labeling, available MSDSs correctly formatted, a complete MSD sheet inventory in either paper or electronic form, and more.
But as good as your program is, it’s about to become obsolete. OSHA has just released the long-awaited Final Rule that aligns its Hazard Communication Standard with the United Nations Global Harmonization Standard (GHS).
The changes to the current rules are sweeping. How should you proceed from here, now that we finally have the official word from OSHA?
Join us for an in-depth webinar on April 20 for up-to-the-minute information and recommendations.
You’ll learn:
- The brand-new changes to the HCS requirements
- Deadlines for compliance, and other important info that affects you
- How to assess your existing HCS program to determine what changes are now required post-GHS
- Tips for ensuring compliance with the new training obligations
- How best to develop a strategy to meet the multi-year staggered compliance deadlines
- The best strategies for MSDS authoring requirements
- How to address the labeling requirements
- The new requirements that apply to end users, distributors, and chemical manufacturers
- Why taking a Life Cycle Analysis approach to the Hazardous Material Management process, and your HCS program, can be beneficial
