For US organizations, GHS is becoming a reality. In 2012, OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is expected to become aligned with GHS. Complying with GHS will require a significant investment for all companies using chemicals. The key to a smooth transition will be a well-thought out plan with specific action-items.

Join Kim Peterson, a certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) and Safetec’s Director of Environmental, Health & Safety for a live webinar and discussion on developing a plan for GHS compliance.

By attending, you will learn which HCS exemptions and definitions are changing and which will remain the same. In addition, Kim will cover anticipated pitfalls and how to take proactive steps to avoid them.
