Who Can Train Employees on GHS?

The employer can designate an employee they feel is sufficiently knowledgeable to train employees. 29 CFR 1910.1200 - Hazard Communication does not list any specific required qualifications to train employees on HazCom.

However, the usual standard OSHA applies is someone who has the knowledge, training , and experience to identify hazards and teach employees how to manage them. We recommend designating your trainer with the included Trainer Designation Form.

Is the GHS Training OSHA Compliant?
