GHS Update: Where we are in 2009
May 20, 2009
2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET
After a decade of work by international stakeholders, the Globally
Harmonized System was adopted in December 2002 by the International
Labor Organization. SCHC has been a major educational resource for
the GHS and updating members in the implementation process.
Recognizing the need to provide this information to the membership in
a timely manner, SCHC is now offering a webinar on the status of
implementation of the GHS in 2009.
This 90 minute webinar will include a discussion of the status of the
country- /region-specific implementation proposals to align with the
GHS.
The country/regions that will be specifically addressed include:
United States Canada
Australia China
European Union Japan
Korea New Zealand
Singapore Taiwan
Highlights of the updates to the 2009 GHS "Purple Book" will also be
discussed so participants will be keenly aware of the changes.
The cost of the program is $75.00 for SCHC members and $125.00 for non
members.
Registration: To register for the program, please contact Lori Chaplin
at schc.lori**At_Symbol_Here**verizon.net or at (703) 658-9246. Once the registration
has been confirmed, instructions for the webinar will be sent to the e-
mail address provided.
