The UN’s Globally Harmonised System for chemical classification and labeling is coming to Australia. You may have seen the new symbols on your chemical supplies especially from Europe and New Zealand. Safework Australia’s draft Model Work Health & Safety Regulations, were released in December, which incorporates the UN’s Global Harmonized System (GHS) for labeling chemicals in workplaces.
This is a practical half-day introductory workshop designed to get supervisors and managers up to speed on the expected changes which can affect regulatory acceptance of your products under regimes operating the GHS. The workshop's agenda covers:
- Introduction to international chemical labelling
- Overview of the Draft Model Work Health and Safety Regulations as per chemical storage
- Overview of the GHS:
- Which labeling can be used – hazard pictograms?
- Physical hazards
- Health Hazards
- Environmental Hazards
- Overlap with dangerous goods and hazardous substances labeling under the Model WHS Reg.
- Other issues with the M WHS regs. and timetables
- Case study workshop — assessment of chemicals under the GHS
This workshop supplements ASBG’s workshop on dangerous goods in providing a broader knowledge of the changes coming in chemical labeling. Knowledge of the model regulation and GHS can also assist you in preparing any submissions to Safework Australia.
