Is Your Company Prepared to Comply with GHS?

Canada is now moving rapidly toward implementation of the new Global Harmonization system.

The new GHS will completely change the way you handle WHMIS in your workplace – including new standardized hazard definitions, safety data sheets, classification of materials, labeling and much more.

Here’s just a sample of what you’ll learn during this Video:

• The basics of GHS in practical terms: what it is, what it does, how it will change the way you handle WHMIS and other workplace safety programs
• The timeline for GHS implementation in Canada
• What your organization can and should be doing now to prepare for GHS
• How the new changes are likely to affect label requirements, including symbols, text, hazard statements, safety phrases, precautionary statements and more
• How GHS uses a “building block” approach, so countries are free to adopt as much or as little as they like and incorporate existing rules
• A practical look at lessons learned from GHS implementation in EU, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, such as how implementations differ significantly and why
• Why GHS is neither “global” nor “harmonized” and why national level rules and regulations still matter
• An examination of draft regulations in the US and what Canadian implementation is likely to look like based on OSHA's lead – including areas where Canada is likely to differ from OSHA
• And much more.
