The Naval Safety Center encourages Safety Managers to make note of the changes to OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, and the impacts on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). Significant changes are taking place regarding hazard classification, labels, safety data sheets, and information/training.
The next stage of the transition requires full compliance with the modified rules for chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers by 1 June 2015. Further information can be found at the
COMNAVSAFESEN GHS page.
