History of Hazard Communication• Promulgated in 1983 for manufacturing only
– 32 million workers exposed to chemicals– 575,000 hazardous chemicals in workplaces– 40,000 to 50,000 chemical illness each year
• 1987 expanded to all industries• 2012 Global Harmonization requirements
added

Global Harmonization System- GHS• GHS refers to the United Nations Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
• Initiated at UN Conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992
• Standardizes definitions of health, physical and environmental data
• Standardizes hazard classification• Standardizes hazard communication
![Page 17: Hazard Communication & Global Harmonization. Objectives Know basic requirements of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard Understand the new Global Harmonization.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649cab5503460f9496c796/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

GHS Benefits• Enhances protection of
human health and the environment
• Reduces need for duplicative testing of chemicals
• Increases efficiency by reducing cost of regulatory compliance
![Page 18: Hazard Communication & Global Harmonization. Objectives Know basic requirements of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard Understand the new Global Harmonization.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649cab5503460f9496c796/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
