FAQs

What is the Globally Harmonized System (GHS)?

GHS is a universal standard developed by the United Nations that aligns hazard classification and communication across the globe. It replaces a hodgepodge of regional and national systems with a consistent, unified approach using standardized labels and pictograms.

Which two signal words used on GHS labels, and what is the difference between them are covered?

The two signal words are "Danger" and "Warning". "Danger" is strictly reserved for more severe chemical hazards, while "Warning" serves to indicate a less severe hazard.

Which main responsibilities of employers under the GHS and OSHA HazCom regulations are covered?

Learners are taught that employers need to keep all Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) readily available, maintain accurate labels on all workplace containers, train employees on how to explain and use this safety information, and develop a comprehensive Written Hazard Communication Program.

Does the training describe the environmental pictogram as mandatory under OSHA labeling regulations?

No. While the environmental pictogram (which represents aquatic toxicity) is part of the global GHS framework, it is not mandatory under OSHA-regulated labeling.

Does the training indicate whether there is an exception to OSHA's workplace labeling requirement for secondary containers?

Yes. OSHA does not require a workplace label on a secondary container if a chemical is transferred into a portable container intended only for the immediate use of the employee who performs the transfer. If anyone else handles it or it is left unattended, a label need to be attached right away.
