Hazard CommunicationThe largest change to OSHA’s Hazardous Communication Standard (HCS) goes into effect in 2015. The new standard is called the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
![Page 2: DeVere GHS Overview,2015 · marketing text, pictures ... Microsoft PowerPoint - DeVere_GHS_Overview,2015.pptx Author: Randy Created Date: 1/19/2015 4:05:37 PM ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041110/5f0f85e17e708231d4449584/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Intent of The New Standard• To provide employees with informationto help them make knowledgeable decisions about chemical hazards in their workplace
• According to OSHA, the original HCS gives employees the right to know and the GHS gives employees the right to understand.
