This document outlines a training presentation on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) and OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The objectives of the training are to understand what GHS is and why hazard communication is important, learn how to interpret updated chemical labels and safety data sheets, and recognize the new pictogram formats. The presentation explains that GHS provides a universal approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information. It reviews the required elements of hazard communication programs, such as chemical lists, safety data sheets, and container labels, which have been updated under GHS to include standardized pictograms and a new 16-section safety data sheet format.

- Knowing proper emergency procedures is another important part of safety. That’s why you should always read the label and SDS for every material to find out exactly what to do in case you or a co-worker is overexposed. Emergency procedures may include: Flushing eyes with water for 15 minutes in case of contact; Washing skin with soap and water and removing contaminated clothing; Moving to fresh air if a person has been inhaling hazardous material and not returning until it is safe; and Getting emergency medical assistance if a person has accidentally swallowed a hazardous chemical. Think about the emergency procedures you should use if you or a co-worker is overexposed to a hazardous material. Do you know where eyewash stations, emergency showers, and first-aid kits are located? Do you know how to use them? Discuss your company’s emergency procedures, so employees understand how to report and handle medical emergencies. Where are first-aid kits and emergency shower and eyewash stations located? Is the employee permitted to take another employee to the eyewash station, or does a person trained in first aid need to do this? Display the contents of a first-aid kit, and show trainees the location(s) of emergency shower and/or eyewash station.
