Hazard Communications for Laboratories: Globally Harmonized System

This course focuses on the revised Hazard Communication Standard, aligning it with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). Emphasizing the need for clear chemical labeling and classification in workplaces, the update aims to simplify and enhance communication about potential hazards. Workers gain not only the right to know but also the right to understand the risks associated with the chemicals they handle. The introduction of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) under the GHS ensures that employees have access to crucial information regarding chemical handling and potential harm.
