Comply with New Requirements for Hazardous Chemical Labeling
In 2012, OSHA adopted the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, revolutionizing how hazardous substances are labeled and communicated in the workplace. These changes aim to enhance safety, improve understanding of chemical hazards, and create a consistent standard across industries. To comply with these requirements, businesses must update their chemical labeling processes and provide employee training to align with the new standards.
