If you are getting the GHS-compatible documents in, it would be a good idea to train on the GHS now, as your staff will need to be able to read those documents and find the information on them just like they do with the MSDSs now. - Diane Amell, MNOSHA -----Original Message----- From: DCHAS-L Discussion List [mailto:DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**list.uvm.edu] On Behalf Of Pe ifer, Patricia Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 2:48 PM To: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**LIST.UVM.EDU Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] GHS on (M)SDS Yes, we get a lot of Sigma-Aldrich chemicals and I am seeing a lot of it, p robably almost half of my Sigma Aldrich MSDSs. Not so much from other comp anies, though. I am wondering if I should start training our analysts on t he new system, even though it's not official here yet. I made a poster with the GHS pictograms (since I couldn't buy one) and am thinking about hangin g it in the labs. Am I jumping the gun?

I'm thinking in terms of labels, safety data sheets, technical bulletins, etc. I looked at two Sigma/Aldrich MSDS's from the web and one from 2010 u sed the system and one from 2004 that didn't. I wonder what percent of the lab world is seeing this information and is aware of this change at this po int? Any observations or comments would be appreciated. - Ralph P.S.
