Globally Harmonised System (GHS) Awareness

Globally Harmonised System Training or GHS training was developed by the United Nations to give a formal structure globally to the management of chemicals within the workplace.

Hazardous Chemicals are present in many workplaces today. Do you know enough about the Hazardous Chemicals that your workplace manufactures, buys, stores, receives or uses?

Our GHS training course is designed for manufacturers, importers and end users of substances, mixtures and articles who have a duty under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act and Regulations to classify them. It is also useful for Suppliers, Managers, Supervisors and Support Personnel who come into contact with or are responsible for Hazardous Chemicals in their workplace. The two major elements involved in GHS are Classification of Hazardous Chemicals and Communication of the Hazards and safety precautions using Safety Data Sheets and labels.
