Global Harmonized System (GHS)
Presentation by Jason Massey, Sales Manager, Site Hawk

On September 30th, 2009 OSHA published a proposal to modify its existing Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform with the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) will bring about much-needed consistency in chemical classification, labeling, and hazard communication when the system is fully implemented here in the US and worldwide. Come learn more about the most recent GHS news, the implications, compliance strategies, and why you should develop your strategy today rather than tomorrow.

The IPL cafeteria also accommodates those who want to bring their lunch (microwave and plastic utensils are available).
