Course Overview


The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that about 32 million workers in more than 3.5 million workplaces are regularly exposed to hazardous chemicals. By teaching those workers how to safely handle hazardous chemicals, this course helps minimize the physical and health risks associated with exposure to them.

Centered around OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) which is aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), this course provides an overview of the key components of your organization’s required Hazard Communication Program and the GHS. Upon learning the three key elements of the GHS – hazard classification, container labeling, and Safety Data Sheets – employees are better equipped to help mitigate the risks posed by the hazardous chemicals at your facility.

Present this course to ensure all workers will be better prepared to work safely with and around hazardous chemicals.
