Course Overview

Hazardous chemicals are used in workplaces across many industries, making effective hazard communication essential for protecting employees and supporting safe operations. The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) was developed to create a consistent international approach to chemical classification and hazard communication, helping workers better understand chemical risks and labeling information.

This training introduces learners to the fundamentals of GHS labeling requirements while exploring OSHA Hazard Communication (HazCom) standards, hazard pictograms, signal words, precautionary statements, and chemical label elements. Participants will examine the seven core components of GHS labels and learn how to recognize and interpret the nine standardized hazard pictograms used to communicate chemical dangers.

The course also reviews labeling requirements for original containers, secondary containers, and small containers while emphasizing the importance of accurate labeling throughout chemical handling, transportation, storage, and workplace use. Learners will explore the responsibilities of employers, employees, manufacturers, and other stakeholders involved in maintaining effective hazard communication systems.

By strengthening GHS labeling awareness and chemical safety practices, organizations can help reduce workplace chemical hazards, improve compliance efforts, and support safer working environments across industries.

This program is available with Spanish and French closed captions.
