The Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) course is designed for employers, employees, managers, safety professionals, consultants, and trainers needing an overview of the changes made to OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (1910.1200).
Since 2013, all employees must be trained on new workplace label elements and the updated Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format. Updated training must be conducted for employees to properly recognize and understand the new labels, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautions.
The OSHA HAZCOM Standard (HCS) includes all workers exposed to hazardous chemicals in all industrial sectors. The goal of a Hazard Communication Program is to educate employees and employers about workplace hazards and how to adequately protect themselves against injury and illness.

The basic goal of a Hazard Communication Program is to be sure employers and employees know about work hazards and how to protect themselves; this should help to reduce the incidence of chemical source illness and injuries. Protection under OSHA's HAZCOM Standard (HCS) includes all workers exposed to hazardous chemicals in all industrial sectors. This standard is based on a simple concept — that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and the identities of the chemicals they are exposed to when working. They also need to know what protective measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring.
