The safe use of chemicals is a universal concern — but how chemical safety information is communicated varies from country to country. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) plays a central role in this communication. While the introduction of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) aimed to standardize these documents, significant regional differences remain in how SDSs are formatted, enforced, and localized.

While GHS Labels and Consumer Chemical Labels are not unique to the U.S. market, for comparison purposes we will be focusing on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) GHS Label vs U.S. Consumer label. Although both are important in the chemical industry, each serves a different purpose and cannot be used interchangeably. To understand if a product requires a consumer label or not, the manufacturer/supplier must first determine if the product is intended for consumer use.
In today's fast-paced, ever evolving regulatory landscape, hazmat training is often reduced to the act of checking a box, simply to meet regulatory requirements. While remaining compliant and meeting regulatory requirements is critical, it is not the only purpose of hazmat training. Effective and regular hazmat training can strengthen safety cultures, reduce job ambiguity, foster confidence in critical job functions, and be a powerful tool for incident prevention. Compliance is just the tip of the iceberg of benefits that hazmat training can offer organizations.
