The major sections are; what is the GHS, OSHA and the GHS, Hazard Classification, Safety Data Sheets, Labeling (Text Elements), Labeling (Pictograms), Information and Training, GHS Phase in Dates. The review recaps all the categories and information within the video, emphasizing the importance of the standardization. Use this training to introduce all the workers on your job site to GHS.
