Chemical Hazards: Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Training Video -- OSHA HazCom Standard

Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Training Video -- GHS Intro & Changes to OSHA HazCom Standard

You may show this video on Youtube to students, employees and co-workers in order to provide them with the required introduction to the GHS and to train them on the changes that are being made to the HazCom Standard.

OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. It is a logical and comprehensive approach to:
◾Defining health, physical and environmental hazards of chemicals;
◾Creating classification processes that use available data on chemicals for comparison with the defined hazard criteria; and
◾Communicating hazard information, as well as protective measures, on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

The GHS covers all hazardous chemicals. There are no complete exemptions from the scope of the GHS for a particular type of chemical or product. The term "chemical" is used broadly to include substances, products, mixtures, preparations, or any other terms that may be used by existing systems. The goal of the GHS is to identify the intrinsic hazards of chemical substances and mixtures and to convey hazard information about these hazards. The GHS is not intended to harmonize risk assessment procedures or risk management decisions, as described above.

Back around the year 2000 or so, I was working for a municipality, and we all had to take a class, watch a video, and take a test on hazardous chemicals and their labeling, which was put out by OSHA. Our instructor warned us that the person speaking in the video would put us all to sleep and that we'd fail the test if we didn't stay awake. Well, now I'm searching and searching for this video! I'd love to listen to it when going to bed :D. Anybody out there remember this video? If so, I'd really, really appreciate a link. Thanks!

🤔Why are they writing on a dry erase board with Sharpies? ...also, how are they erasing said Sharpie with sidewalk chalk?🤔
