  5. Training your employees on the new GHS labels isn’t as hard as it seems, considering some elements overlap with the Hazard Communication Standard.

  6. Curtis, excellent blog this month. I was very much involved in supporting this GHS movement through ASSE having written the initial responses for ASSE's national Government Affairs Committee. I gave testimony and attended meetings for ASSE in DC a few times and I'm glad to see it finally happen. Don Garman - retired CSP.

    1. Appendix B of the OSHA Haz-Com standard provides the criteria for determining the classification of flammable liquids (and all other physical hazards. The classification is based on flash-point. Here is a link to that appendix: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=10101

      As far as for the signal word, that determination for flammable liquids is based on the criteria found in Appendix C (for label elements), you can see that at https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=10102

      <Hope this helps.

  9. A shame a lot of companies block YouTube. Why can't you make the tutorials available on your own server?
