Revised labeling provisions, including use of standardized signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements <br /> 3. A specified format for safety data sheets(formerly called material safety data sheets) <br /> 4. Revisions to definitions of terms <br /> 5. Requirements for updated employee training on labels and safety data sheets <br /> Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to develop new SDSs for the chemicals they produce/import and employers will see their <br /> entire MSDS library updated in a short time frame. The phase in period has already begun and extends through June 2016. Employers will have <br /> a mix of MSDSs and new format SIDS co-existing during this transition period. The main focus during the transition period will be ensuring that <br /> employers continue to have an effective HazCom program in place. <br /> Simplify the GHS Transition <br /> Manage the Influx of MSDSs <br /> OSHA's adoption of GHS will result in an influx of MSDSs that will affect your entire chemical inventory.
