Hazardous Chemical Management

Not all chemicals are hazardous, but when we do use hazardous chemicals, we need to do so safely

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a worldwide system of classifying chemicals by the types of hazards they present. This will ensure that hazardous chemicals manufactured in one place will be able to communicate the appropriate hazards when the chemical is used in another place.

CSaIM have gathered information about hazardous chemicals. You can use the below resources in addition with the Management of Hazardous Chemicals Procedure (19) to effectively manage hazardous chemicals at your worksite.
