January 11, 2010:  CLMI Safety Training, headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, provides valuable new assistance for the 7,000,000 employers covered by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard and the upcoming Global Harmonization System for labeling and training requirements to be announced by OSHA later this fall.

CLMI Safety Training announces the release of its newest OSHA compliance training program, “Hazard Communication:  Your Key to Chemical Safety”.  Preview this video and all print materials in their entirety at http://www.clmi-training.com/topics/hazard-communication.html .  

“This year, the United Nations will be implementing the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)--a new global system that will standardize definitions, data sheets, classification of materials, and labeling around the world.  OSHA plans to adopt these requirements for all U.S. employer s.  While this is ultimately good news for all concerned, in the short term the implementation of the GHS will require changes in all American workplace hazard communication programs--including all new labels and safety data sheets.”

CLMI’s new safety training program presents an informative discussion of the OSHA requirements and introduces the Global Harmonization System for labeling. Viewers are provided practical information on chemicals to answer four important questions:  What am I working with?  Can it hurt me?  How do I protect myself?  What do I do if something goes wrong?

““Hazard Communication:  Your Key to Chemical Safety" is a great addition to any safety training library!"  This high-quality training program is another in the line of CLMI’s award-winning series, Blueprints forSafety®, and is available for free online preview at www.clmi-training.com.
