GHS Around the World - Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Global Companies

Chemical Watch and IHS recently hosted the 'GHS Around the World - Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Global Companies' webinar

With the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) expected to modify its longtime Hazard Communication Standard by adopting the U.N. Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals; the US will become the latest country to adopt this “generally” harmonized standard.

Chemical Watch and IHS invite you to join experts from the U.N. Sub-Committee on GHS, PPG and IHS as they take an in-depth look at GHS adoption around the world. Hear first hand as they compare and contrast the various GHS implementations around the globe, discuss the US adoption and share best practices and lessons learned from those that have already faced compliance requirements from GHS adoption in other countries.

OSHA’s anticipated adoption of GHS is just the latest example of proliferating compliance mandates that are driving organizations to manage product stewardship concerns as part of a comprehensive enterprise approach.

Don’t miss this chance to hear firsthand how leading companies are dealing with the inconsistencies and variations of GHS.
