OSHA Hazard Communication With GHS Training is designed for workers who use hazardous chemicals in their workplaces, as well as workers engaged in manufacture, import, and shipment of hazardous chemicals.

OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) was aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) in 2012. The updated standard provides workers with the “right to know” as well as the “right to understand” the hazards of the chemicals they work with and the appropriate protective measures when using, handling, or working around chemicals in their workplaces.

The underlying aim of this training is to provide an overview of the changes made to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard including the updated label elements and Safety Data Sheet format in alignment with the GHS.

A FINAL NOTE

It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer.

Online Training on Mobile Devices

Flexibility is not limited to any one place or time anymore! Take our online training on your computer or from the comfort of your own palm.

Our Learning Management System tracks your progress, allowing you to switch between your computer and mobile device without retaking any training content.
