B&C and Acta Will Hold an OSHA GHS Webinar
Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C) and The Acta Group, L.L.C. (Acta) will hold a complimentary webinar on April 18, 2012, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. (EDT) on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) final rule revising the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) issued on March 26, 2012. The final rule aligns the HCS with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System for Chemical Classification and Labeling (GHS). OSHA estimates the rule is expected to impact some five million U.S. workplaces and have an annual cost of approximately $97 million.
The webinar will address the major changes to the HCS, including a general overview, revisions to hazard categories, training/information requirements, safety data sheet (SDS) modifications, and label requirements. It will also compare the revised HCS to global GHS adoption schemes. A question and answer session will follow. More specific detail oriented webinars will be provided as a follow-up. Speakers include:
- Lynn L. Bergeson;
- Andrew R. Bourne;
- Lisa R. Burchi; and
- Leslie S. MacDougall.
Lynn L. Bergeson will moderate the program.
The agenda and speaker profiles are available online. The RSVP deadline is April 16, 2012.
Attendees are urged to review the B&C Clients and Friends memorandum on OSHA
final GHS rule. OSHA’s final rule and related information are available online.
