What Is Hazardous Chemical Training – Course Overview

This Hazardous Chemical Training is aimed at workers and their supervisors of how to manage chemicals in the workplace.

Hazardous chemicals are any substance, mixture or article classified under a hazard category in the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

With the update of the WHS Legislation across Australia the term has moved from being hazardous substance to now hazardous chemical.

We use GHS classifications in Australia to communicate chemicals’ properties and dangers through labels, registers and safety data sheets.

This is a GHS compliance training course to assist workers in understanding the various pictograms, signal words and hazard/precautionary statement that are on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) or (MSDS as there were once called) and labels.
