Description

Hazard Communication and GHS – What Employees Need to Know is a comprehensive training course designed to educate workers on the safe use, handling, and understanding of hazardous chemicals in the workplace. This course aligns with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard and introduces learners to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), which provides a universal approach to labeling and classifying chemicals. Whether you work in manufacturing, construction, warehousing, office settings, or facility maintenance, this course provides the foundational knowledge you need to stay informed and protected.

Throughout the course, participants will learn how to identify hazardous substances, understand chemical labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and respond appropriately to both routine and emergency situations. The training explains the physical and health hazards of various chemicals, routes of exposure, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize risks. Learners will also gain a detailed understanding of the 16 sections of the SDS and how to use that information to ensure proper chemical handling, storage, and disposal.

By the end of the course, employees will have a clear understanding of their role in hazard communication, how to interpret critical safety information, and what steps to take to prevent injury or illness. This course is essential for maintaining a safe and compliant workplace.

  • Employees who work with or around hazardous chemicals
  • Warehouse and production workers in manufacturing environments
  • Maintenance and janitorial staff using cleaning agents or solvents
  • Supervisors and safety coordinators responsible for HazCom compliance
