Hazard Communication Program
GHS Overview
http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/hazcom-faq.html
• In March 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor and OSHA adopted an update to the Hazard Communication Standard to bring it in alignment with the United Nation’s Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The purpose of this revision is to improve the quality, consistency, and clarity of the chemical hazard information that workers receive in the workplace, and helps employers remain competitive in the global marketplace.
GHS Overview
• GHS legislation or standards have already been passed elsewhere– New Zealand (2001)– Japan (2006)– Korea (2008)– EU (2008)– China (2009)– Russia (2009)– Brazil (2009)– Australia (2011)– USA (2012)
Hazard Determination vs. Hazard Classification– Chemical manufacturers shall evaluate chemicals
produced in their workplace– Employers are not required to evaluate chemicals
unless they choose not to rely on the manufacturer
Word change only – NO ACTION REQUIRED!
