In addition
to the Symposium Frankie and Tim are organizing, CHAS is considering a =BD day
workshop, on the Saturday prior to the meeting – 23 March.
If you were to attend the conference, would you consider
also attending this workshop? This is not a commitment on your part,
rather I am trying to estimate the interest among our members
Description:
Strategies
for Hazard Communication in the Laboratory – Academic and Industrial
This
is a half day workshop to provide those responsible for the implementation of
Hazard Communication in their work environment with information related to
recent changes in OHSA’s Hazard Communication Standard. These recent
changes, March 26, 2012, adopted several aspects related to global
harmonization of precautionary warnings. The revised standard
includes: revised criteria for classification of chemical hazards, new labeling
provisions, a specified format for safety data sheets, revisions to
definitions, and new training requirements. The new labeling and data sheets
require the use of standardized signal words, pictograms, hazard statements and
precautionary statements. The workshop will focus on the changes and
requirements of the new rule as well as provide tips and tools for the
implementation of the new requirements. The workshop is designed for the
practioner that is responsible for translating the standard to individuals that
work in teaching, research or industrial laboratories.
Please reply to the list as a whole –
Thanks
Neal
