SpotLight on GHS Hazard Communication: Labels is a 15-minute online course that provides focused training on the labeling component of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard under 29 CFR 1910.1200, as aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It is designed for employees who work with or near hazardous chemicals and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Hazard Communication consistently ranks among OSHA's most-cited violations, with 2,546 citations issued in FY 2025 - making it the second most-cited standard overall and the top violation for general industry workplaces. Missing, faded, or non-compliant chemical labels are a primary driver of these citations. OSHA's alignment of the Hazard Communication Standard with the Globally Harmonized System introduced standardized label elements that every worker handling chemicals must understand. Serious violations for labeling failures carry penalties of up to $16,550, with willful or repeat violations reaching $165,514.
This course provides your employees with focused training on the GHS label elements required by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. The training covers the six mandatory label components - product identifier, signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statements, pictograms, and supplier information - and explains how to read and interpret each element for safe chemical handling. This targeted approach helps workers quickly understand the specific hazard information communicated through container labels, supporting both daily safety and regulatory compliance.
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard at 29 CFR 1910.1200 requires employers to inform and train employees about hazardous chemicals in the workplace using GHS-aligned labels, Safety Data Sheets, and a written hazard communication program. The standard was first aligned with GHS in 2012 (Revision 3), and OSHA published a 2024 update aligning with GHS Revision 7, with compliance dates extending through 2028. Hazard Communication was the second most-cited OSHA violation in FY 2025 with 2,546 citations, with common violations including missing or non-compliant labels, inaccessible Safety Data Sheets, and incomplete employee training. Penalties for serious HazCom violations reach $16,550 per citation, while willful or repeat violations can result in fines up to $165,514. OSHA estimates that over 130 million workers are covered under the Hazard Communication Standard, making proper label training one of the most broadly applicable safety training requirements in the country.
