Course Description
This training educates workers who handle hazardous chemicals, including those involved in their manufacture, storage, import, and transportation.
In 2012, OSHA updated the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) to align with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), ensuring workers have both the "right to know" and the "right to understand" chemical hazards. The course also covers protective measures for safely using, handling, and being near these chemicals in the workplace.Industrial Training and OSHA Compliance Solutions: Your one-stop shop for workplace safety and compliance.
