Ghs Sds Employee Training

The document discusses changes to labeling and safety data sheet requirements under the Global Harmonized System (GHS). Key changes include standardized signal words, hazard statements, precautionary statements and pictograms on labels to communicate hazards. The GHS also changes safety data sheets, which were formerly called material safety data sheets, to include standardized 16-section formatting. Labels and safety data sheets are closely related, with labels providing basic hazard information and safety data sheets providing more detailed information.
