Workplace Safety Hazard Communication Training

As of December 1, 2013, OSHA requires all employees to be trained on the new Hazardous Communication Standard (HCS) for labels and Safety Data Sheets. OSHA has adopted the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals and made major changes to both labels and data sheets.

EVERFI has developed a course to specifically cover these workplace hazard training requirements. Our Hazardous Communication course covers the changes to Safety Data Sheets, labeling and the newly adopted Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
