GHS White Paper Available

The United Nation Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of labeling is coming. OSHA is in the process of taking comments, and after the first of the year they will conduct hearings. We can expect GHS to be implemented in the U.S. between the end 2010 and the end of 2012.

GHS will harmonize the way information about hazardous materials will be presented on labels. This will result in improved safety, in particular when materials are shipped across international borders.

If you need to get up to speed on GHS, or you'd like information about GHS that is presented in an easy-to-read, practical way, a free white paper is available that will be very helpful. Use the following link to get your copy:
