GHS (Chemicals Handling) Training - Jan. 8

The Department of Public Safety is hosting four mandatory training sessions on Wednesday, January 8, 2014, for anyone who is employed by Augsburg and may work with or around chemicals.

The new OSHA rulings substantially modified its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform to the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The modifications to the HCS that will be covered during this training include:

- Revised criteria for classification of chemical hazards;
- Revised labeling provisions that include requirements for use of standardized signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements;
- A specified format for safety data sheets;
- Related revisions to definitions of terms used in the standard; and
- Requirements for employee training on labels and safety data sheets

Training times will be at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. for two hour durations.

Location: Science 123
