How Much Do You Already Know?
Under GHS, OSHA will no longer regulate workplace hazardous chemicals.
Employee Right to Know (ERK) applies to chemical manufacturers only.
SDSs are better organized and may provide more information than MSDSs.
PPE is required only if there is a spill.
Pictograms on a label convey specific information about the hazards of a chemical.
