Hazard Communication Requirements Changing For Minnesota Businesses

On October 25, OSHA took the last step to officially adopt the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling (GHS) into the Federal Hazard Communication Standard. On that day, OSHA submitted the final rule to The Office of Management and Budget (OMB). OMB then has up to 90 days to review and finalize the rule before it is published in the Federal Register, and becomes final.

Based on this schedule, the final rule is expected to be published in January 2012. Employers subject to the Hazard Communication rule will then need to update their programs to meet the new requirements.

Caltha LLP provides expert environmental consultant services in Minnesota to develop cost effective chemical tracking and compliance programs, including assisting Minnesota companies in preparing MSDS to conform to the new GHS and to meet new chemical data reporting requirements.
