Protect your team with Hazard Communication: GHS Labeling Requirements training focused on how to read and interpret GHS labels, understand labeling requirements.
Hazard Communication: GHS Labeling Requirements prepares employees to recognize relevant risks, responsibilities, and safe work expectations. Key outcomes include the ability to describe the reason and essential concepts of hazard communication: ghs labeling expectations, spot common risks and responsibilities related to hazard communication: ghs labeling expectations, and use the training guidance during routine work. The material also helps learners respond appropriately when questions or unsafe conditions arise. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
GHS labeling training is for any employee who handles, stores or transfers hazardous chemicals. That ranges from manufacturing and construction crews to healthcare staff and commercial cleaners. Supervisors who fill secondary containers, stock chemical storerooms or receive chemical shipments also need to read GHS labels correctly.
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, adopted GHS labeling in 2012. Manufacturers, importers and distributors must label shipped containers. Employers must keep workplace containers labeled and train workers to understand labels and Safety Data Sheets. The 16-minute GHS video is available in English, Spanish and French.
An OSHA-compliant GHS label on a shipped container must show six elements. They are the product identifier, signal word, hazard statements, pictograms, precautionary statements, and the supplier's name, address and phone number. Many labels also carry optional supplemental information, such as directions for use.
Danger and Warning are the two GHS signal words, and they show how severe a chemical hazard is. Danger marks the more severe hazard categories, while Warning marks less severe ones. A GHS label shows only one signal word, so when Danger applies, Warning is left off.
Yes, workplace secondary containers generally need a label with the product identifier and the chemical's hazards. Words, pictures, symbols or a full GHS label can convey those hazards. The exception is a portable container filled from a labeled container and used right away by the same worker who filled it.
