OSHA is now practicing theology with its latest interpretation concerning labeling requirements regarding the revised Hazard Communication standard (HCS 2012), 29 CFR 1910.1200. 5 milliliter vials, 50 milliliter bottles- Doesn’t make a difference to the theologians at OSHA- You MUST GET ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION ON THE LABEL ATTACHED TO THE VIAL! In a letter…
OSHA thinks we can cover the Cost of classifying Chemical hazards to meet the new GHS criteria;
Cost to revise Safety Data sheets and labels to meet the new format and content requirements;
Cost to train 43 million employeeson the new formatand content of material symbols and data sheets;
Cost to management of those 5 million workplaces to become familiarwith the New GHS requirements, assess, revise, develop and implement new compliance materials needed to adopt GHS;
And the cost for printing new packaging and labels in color;
with just $40 per shop! Unbelievable!
