Weekly Poll: OSHA and GHS

A new rule in the Federal Register indicates OSHA has proposed aligning the hazard communication standard with the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

OSHA says the alignment will improve the quality and consistency of information. Although this will affect manufacturers and importers rather than healthcare facilities, are you aware of the GHS system?
