Global Harmonization (GHS, SDS) HAZWOPER & HAZCOM

Do you have chemicals in your workplace? Do you understand what Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are for? This is one of the most cited workplace violations in the State and this class will help prepare you and your company to better understand how to develop a HAZCOM Program. This introductory-level HAZCOM training course is based on OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 and includes the most current revisions to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), including the 2012 revisions incorporating the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

In the event of any hazardous situation, employees and employers must be prepared to handle the event effectively and in the safest possible manner. This requires strict adherence to the HAZCOM and GHS standards established by OSHA to provide every worker with critical safety information. Hazard Communication Awareness (HAZCOM/GHS) for All Industries ensures that course participants are aware of fundamental hazard communication principles and is drawn from the most recent updates to OSHA standards to help ensure compliance. This also makes sure you are in compliance with WAC 296-901.
