The Globally Harmonised System (GHS) Awareness course provides you with a comprehensive overview of the international system used to classify and communicate chemical hazards on product labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s).

Topics covered in this course include:

• The basic process of classifying hazardous chemicals (including chemical mixtures and solutions) under the GHS.
• GHS and Dangerous Goods hazard classifications.
• Documenting hazardous chemicals using Safety Data Sheets.
• GHS Labelling requirements, including labelling size and format, and what elements must be included (signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, precautionary statements and other information).
• GHS labelling requirements for packages intended for transport.

All components of this course are 100% online.

The GHS Awareness course is specifically developed to provide learners with the information needed to meet general training requirements outlined in the Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) legislation.
While this training gives a comprehensive overview of the GHS, complex classification requirements are beyond the scope of this course. For specific advice regarding GHS classification, send us an enquiry.

This course is recommended for all workers whose job roles involve consigning, dispatching, transporting, storing or otherwise handling hazardous chemicals or dangerous goods.

It is also suitable for personnel who are responsible for labelling chemicals or interpreting Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s).

As part of this course, learners will have access to:

• An online Learners Guide which includes four modules. The Learners Guide provides all required theoretical information in a user-friendly and interactive online format. Each module also includes a range of self-test questions, which help you to check your learning as you go.
• A theory assessment which tests each student’s understanding of the information provided in the Learners Guide.

All components of this course are 100% online.

Once learners have successfully completed the course and passed their theory assessment, they will receive a Certificate of Completion via email as proof of training.
