OSHA’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Globally Harmonized System (“GHS”) was recently sent from OHSA to the Office of Management and Budget (the “OMB”). OMB has up to 90 days to review the notice and then the notice is expected to be published in the Federal Register. This is just the next step in the process to have OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard be revised to utilize GHS and have the United States system of hazard communication be consistent with the rest of the world’s.
