ASSE Supports OSHA’s proposed rule for GHS
January 4th, 2010ASSE submitted a comment on OSHA’s proposed rule to harmonize its Hazard Communication Standard with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The comment stated ASSE’s support for the goals of the proposed rule and responded to OSHA’s request for comments on various issues. ASSE’s comment is based on the recommendations of a GHS Task Force of ASSE members with expertise in hazard communications and GHS.
