It will teach you how to read and understand the new Global Harmonized chemical warning system (except for those requirements dealing with the employer’s job-specific chemical hazard information). Participants will learn to read GHS-compliant chemical labels and SDSs and to recognize chemical hazards on the job, proper PPE in hazardous conditions, and your right to know.
