Global Harmonizaton and Hazard Communication

What do I have to do to get into compliance with the new GHS addition to HazCom?

 Major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard

*  Effective date for when all items must be changed should be published this month

*  Train employees on the new signal words, pictograms, and hazard statements.  Looks like employees will need to be trained within two years of the publication of the final rule.

If you have developed MSDS, they will now need to be in the specified 16-section format

Chemical manufacturers will need to use labels that now have the “harmonized” signal words, pictograms, precautionary statements and hazard statements for each hazard class.

Testimonials
Their passion for emergency response coupled with the hands on working knowledge of the regulations makes for quality instruction and real world advice. It is a pleasure to have a resource with their degree of knowledge and professionalism.

- Sean Patterson, Honeywell

…your HazWoper Refresher and your Incident Commander Training Seminars are superior to any that I have attended.

- Ray McReynolds, TYCO

We have used Safety Training for at least 5 years, and we are very satisfied with their training. Being the training officer I've had several companies call and offer us hazmat training but my thought is if I have someone that works well for me and my people...

- Captain Marvin Witherspoon, St. Louis Fire Department

We were in need of assistance to completely reorganize our entire safety program…With STEP's help we have achieved our goals and will continue to rely on their expertise and commitment to keeping our programs current and OSHA compliant. I highly recommend STEP...

- Ray North, Audubon

A lot of stuff that I guess we do automatically or because "It's always been done that way" is not correct. It was very interesting and the instructors were very nice. They made it comfortable asking questions.

- Callas Thornton, Propper International

The RCRA Training Webinar that I participated in through STEP was simply excellent! The materials were high quality and Sara's delivery style was professional, pleasant and effective. She is obviously a subject matter expert who is able to transfer her knowledge to the student.

- Bill Doughman, TG Autopmotive

STEP provides the personal touch that gets our employees involved and interested.

- Paul Petitt, Cymetech

Brian did a fine job in the training (first aid/CPR/AED). His previous experiences as a firefighter paramedic really help give some substance to the material. Our classes were very interactive. Brian was fine with taking the time to make sure that everyone understood what we were doing.

- Derek Link, Quad Graphics

We were impressed with the prompt manner in which STEP responded to our training requirements and with your knowledgeable instructors and the professionalism they exhibited.

- Judy Wagner, Wagner Construction

There was a very good balance between the hands-on & classroom training...positive impact on the learning experience. The instructors were Informative & interesting...very good job of tracking feedback for improvement for our HAZWOPER program. I highly recommend STEP.

- Aaron Willis, Countrymark

STEP was the perfect choice, with their experience and expertise, to review and update our PSM program and keep our site compliant. STEP has been great to work with, and I would highly recommend STEP.

- Matt Vanhook, KY Utilities

Sara is a great instructor and you guys run a very organized well put together program. That means a lot to me when I recommend you to someone else.

- Rod Weems, ColorMasters

We received our most positive training feedback ever from our employees this past summer after switching to STEP. The hands-on HAZWOPER training and practical exercises provided excellent, realistic training.

- Brad Summer, Dyno Nobel

I was so impressed with STEP that I knew it would be a long lasting relationship... There are several companies locally that provide the same service, but we will continue to 'STEP' up to STEP for quality.

- Roger Stein, PSEG

STEP has assisted Lubrizol with preparation of procedures and conducted site specific emergency training for our facility. Their work product has been thorough and their trainers are professional and willing to work with us to meet our training needs.

- Jean Schneiderman, Lubrizol

S.T.E.P. is top notch, especially the Instructors. After talking to Jimmy and several more folks here at Volvo we are going with S.T.E.P. from now on.

- Bobby Goodman, Volvo
