OSHA and GHS Compliant Safety Training for Cleaning Companies(PDF)

The General Duty Clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA Act) states that each employer shall furnish to each of their employees a place of employment that is to be free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.

The Safety Training Program for Residential Cleaners is OSHA and GHS Compliant, and it meets CIMS Certification Requirements

OSHA has modified the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to adopt the GHS to improve safety and health of workers through more effective communications on chemical hazards.

According to OSHA: "The GHS provides a standardized approach, including detailed criteria for determining what hazardous effects a chemical poses, as well as standardized label elements assigned by hazard class and category. This will enhance both employer and worker comprehension of the hazards, which will help to ensure appropriate handling and safe use of workplace chemicals. In addition, the safety data sheet requirements establish an order of information that is standardized."

Adoption of the GHS in the U.S. and around the world will also help to improve information received from other countries—since the U.S. is both a major importer and exporter of chemicals, American workers often see labels and safety data sheets from other countries.  If countries around the world adopt the GHS, it will improve communication globally.
