Hazard Communication and GHS: What's Wrong With This Picture?

There are an estimated 880,000 hazardous chemicals used in the workplace, and hundreds of new ones are introduced every year. This enormous volume puts 40 million workers in situations that could potentially expose them to one or more chemical hazards. Exposure to certain chemicals can cause effects ranging from minor skin irritation to serious health problems, including organ damage or cancer.
