MSDSonline Presents "GHS is Coming Soon – Are You Prepared

Last Tuesday OSHA submitted a final rule to OMB that would revise the Hazard Communication standard to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Because OMB must review the rule within 90 days, approval of a revised standard could be less than three months away. At this year’s National Safety Council Congress and Expo in Philadelphia, MSDSonline President and CEO Glenn Trout and VP of Sales Chuck Haling will be giving a presentation on GHS this Wednesday, November 2. It will cover the major changes U.S. companies can expect from the revised standard, including important changes to safety labels and material safety data sheets. It will also cover obligations chemical manufacturers and distributors have around hazard classification and MSDS authoring. OSHA Director Dr. David Michaels is expected to attend this year's Congress and Expo as well.
