The document discusses the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), which was created in 1992 to standardize how chemicals are classified, labeled, and have their hazards communicated globally. It outlines the key parts of GHS-compliant labels and safety data sheets that are now required under the revised OSHA Hazard Communication Standard adopted in 2012. Labels must include the product identifier, pictograms, signal word, hazard and precautionary statements, and supplier information. Safety data sheets have standardized 16-section formats providing detailed information on chemical properties, hazards, safe handling, storage, disposal, transport and regulatory information.
Understanding the OSHA requirements for hazard communication and global harmonization is important to meet regulatory obligations. The slide show is a brief example of the OSHA training provided by The Windsor Consulting Group, Inc. for our customers. We have over 60 courses to train your workers on a variety of occupational health and safety hazards. Contact us for pricing and availability.
The following presentation discussess the changes to the OSHA HAZCOM standard to comply with the GHS rules. As of 1 Dec 13, all business should have completed the training to inform the workforce of the changes to product labels and containers as well as information provided on Safety Data Sheets. If you need help with your GHS policy, program, or procedures, contact us by telephone in the US at 1+ 7322215687 or by email at windsgroup@aol.com.

During the July OFFSHC, we were presented a great overview of the final rule published by OSHA to align the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). Jorge Delucca, OSHA CAS, provided the OSHA GHS Overview (click the link to view). He discussed the implementation dates, GHS Hazard Classifications, Safety Data Sheet changes and GHS labeling. Mr. Delucca also discussed the other standards that will be affected and current litigation related to the ruling. More information is available at http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html.

ARX - A Generic Method for Assessing the Quality of De-Identified Health Dataarx-deidentifier
Talk held at Medical Informatics Europe (MIE) 2016.
Abstract: Data sharing plays an important role in modern biomedical research. Due to the inherent sensitivity of health data, patient privacy must be protected. De-identification means to transform a dataset in such a way that it becomes extremely difficult for an attacker to link its records to identified individuals. This can be achieved with different types of data transformations. As transformation impacts the information content of a dataset, it is important to balance an increase in privacy with a decrease in data quality. To this end, models for measuring both aspects are needed. Non-Uniform Entropy is a model for data quality which is frequently recommended for de-identifying health data. In this work we show that it cannot be used in a meaningful way for measuring the quality of data which has been transformed with several important types of data transformation. We introduce a generic variant, which overcomes this limitation. We performed experiments with real-world datasets, which show that our method provides a unified framework in which the quality of differently transformed data can be compared to find a good or even optimal solution to a given data de-identification problem. We have implemented our method into ARX, an open source anonymization tool for biomedical data.

The ZDHC MRSL is intended to assist the apparel and footwear supply chain in phasing out the use of restricted substances by establishing enforceable limits for hazardous substances in chemical formulations used to process materials. The MRSL limits are designed to eliminate the possibility of intentional use of listed substances.

1. HAZARD
COMMUNICATION
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals
Ryan Putman, B.S. Environmental Management
Hazardous Materials Training Coordinator, South Davis Metro Fire Agency
2. BACKGROUND
• The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
(GHS) was conceived during the 1992 United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (commonly referred to as the Rio
Conference).
• It was recognized that there were many differing standards between
separate nations and regions of how chemicals were classified, labeled, and
how information was made available regarding their characteristics to
workers, consumers, and emergency responders.
• In 2012 OSHA adopted the newest revision of the GHS as part of the Hazard
Communication regulation (29 CFR 1910.1200), to take effect June 1, 2015.

OSHA does not have any regulatory authority over the Environment. EPA has the authority in this area, and has so far not fully adopted GHS in its regulatory requirements.
These are the only signal words allowed. Warning should not appear if Danger does.
