Safe Work Australia is hosting a series of training and information sessions to raise awareness and understanding of the hazard classification, safety data sheet and labelling requirements for workplace chemicals in the model Work Health and Safety regulations, which incorporates the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The aim of these sessions is to enable participants to:
- understand the GHS and what it aims to do
- to learn the relationship with the GHS and hazard systems that have been used in Australia for nearly 20 years, and
- learn how to translate current chemical hazard classifications to the GHS.
