Hazard Communication Standard: GHS Labels, SDS & Employee Right-to-Know

If your workplace has any chemicals on-site, OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard applies to you — and employees have a legal right to know what they're working with. In this video, ROI Safety Services covers the Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom), one of the most commonly cited OSHA standards nationwide. We break down the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of labeling, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and the training employers are required to provide so employees understand the chemical hazards they may encounter on the job. HazCom applies across nearly every industry — construction, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare all handle chemicals that fall under this standard, from cleaning products to industrial solvents to specialty materials. Getting labeling, SDS access, and training right isn't optional, and it's an area Cal/OSHA inspectors check closely. What you'll learn: What GHS labels are required to include and how to read them Where and how Safety Data Sheets must be accessible to employees What a written Hazard Communication Program must contain Employee training requirements under the standard Common HazCom violations and how to avoid them ROI Safety Services has 30 years of combined training experience and has trained over 1,000 customers across California and neighboring states.
