Hazard Communication Standards (On-Demand)

OSHA has developed regulations to protect the workers of America from occupational exposure to both bloodborne disease agents and hazardous chemicals. Employees must be protected from contact with these hazards as they perform their work duties. They also have the “right to know” the chemicals they work with and have the “right to understand” the risk and how to properly handle and protect themselves when working with hazardous substances. This presentation will summarize the Hazard Communication Standard, including the 2012 Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) update to this Standard as well as safety measures to ensure the safety of workers.
