GHS Labeling Pictogram & Hazard Training
The document discusses changes to chemical labeling to comply with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and OSHA requirements. Under the new GHS labels, chemicals will have standardized product identifiers, signal words, hazard statements, pictograms, and precautionary statements to clearly communicate the hazards and safe handling instructions. The new labels are intended to make hazard information easier for workers to understand while protecting their safety.
