Description
GHS Workplace Labeling (HazCom 2012) is another new revised edition of a widely used program in North America. The system now complies with OSHA’s Right to Understand mantra by eliminating the numbered rating system. Using a simplified symbol-only system eliminates language barriers as well as the requirement for additional training. An additional change to the system includes a modification to the text inside the color bars. GHS, expanded personal protection, and target organ effects symbols are now also included on the labels.
Give the GHS Symbol Meaning Chart to employees to use at the workstations to helps reinforce the key concepts.
