Embracing the GHS

 

The Global Harmonized System (GHS) has been embraced by the United States.

 

OSHA is adopting an amendment that changes the criteria, hazard statements and labels, within the constraints of US legal structure. They are expected to become compliant with all of the provisions for the preparation and use of the new labels and safety data sheets (SDSs) by June 1, 2015.  But all employees that require training on the new label elements and SDS format must complete it by December 1, 2013.

New Canadian GHS laws will follow but these amendments are not expected until 2013 or later.  Do you have questions about the upcoming changes?  Check out the article in CCOHS, Volume 10, Issue 3.  GHS: Inquiring Minds Want to Know
