Description

Hazardous chemicals are used in countless workplaces every day. From manufacturing facilities and construction sites to warehouses and maintenance operations, employees rely on accurate hazard information to safely handle, store, and use chemical products. 

This course introduces the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and its role in creating a consistent approach to chemical hazard communication. Participants will learn how GHS labels communicate important safety information and how those labels help workers quickly identify potential health, physical, and environmental hazards. 

The training reviews the key components found on GHS-compliant labels, including product identifiers, signal words, hazard statements, precautionary statements, supplier information, and hazard pictograms. Learners will also explore the purpose of GHS pictograms and how they provide immediate visual recognition of specific hazards. 

In addition, the course discusses labeling requirements for various container types and explains the importance of maintaining proper labels throughout the lifecycle of a chemical product. Real-world examples are used to demonstrate how effective hazard communication supports workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and informed decision-making. 

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a stronger understanding of GHS labeling requirements and how to apply that knowledge when working with hazardous chemicals.
