This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Compliance Guide to the OSHA GHS Standard for Hazardous Chemical Labeling Marge McFarlane, PhD, MT (ASCP), CHSP, CHFM, HEM, MEP, CHEP The Hazard Communication standard is one of the most cited and penalized OSHA standards. OSHA has revamped the standard by adopting the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. The changes are intended to improve safety and save lives, but will require a well-planned process on the part of healthcare organizations to be effective. In December 2013, OSHA's new requirements for labeling chemicals in the workplace went into effect. While the changes will make these requirements more user-friendly, administrators face implementation challenges. Though the changes are expected to prevent numerous injuries and illnesses as well, healthcare organizations will need a successful process to make these changes happen.

Download or read book Precautionary Labels for Chemical Containers written by N. Langerman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on chemical labels-the regulations behind them, the content and format, and how they are used. It looks at labels with relation to worker protection, because the chemical label is the single most important protective item workers will encounter in their day-to-day handling of chemicals. The book addresses chemical labels for non-bulk containers such as totes, drums, bottles, and boxes. The U.S. and Canadian regulations related to chemical containers present a framework for understanding the content of labels. This framework is then used to review protection against Failure-to-Warn litigation. Easily understandable methods are presented for teaching workers to use labels using proven procedures for minimizing the possibility of "putting the wrong stuff in the wrong pot." A complete description of the new American National Standards Institute MSDS format is provided. Reproductions of actual labels illustrate ideas, and detailed information is tabulated for ease of understanding.
