Every year, vast quantities of chemicals are sold and shipped, for use in workplaces around the world.
And, with a global level of trade comes a need to ensure that the hazards pertaining to chemical products are clearly communicated - regardless of where in the world those products are being put to use.
While national laws and regulations relating to chemicals may be similar, they are often different enough to require multiple sets of Labels, Safety Data Sheets, and other information when being traded internationally.
All this creates the potential for confusion - which, when dealing with hazardous chemicals - could have disastrous consequences in the workplace.
Developed at the UN level, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (or GHS for short) aims to develop a single, globally harmonized system to address:
This program provides an overview of these elements as your workplace makes the transition to the GHS.

Material handling occurs in one way or another in every department of every business on every working day - it is not surprising that accidents and injuries resulting from incorrect manual handling techniques comprise the largest group of occupational hazards that result in lost time.
This program covers the following:
It is important to understand that of all the manual handling activities that put people at risk, lifting and carrying of objects accounts for 75% of all manual handling accidents and injuries.
The principles of correct lifting and carrying must therefore be an important part of any manual handling training program.
This program has been produced with the general workforce in mind, however, because the principles remain unchanged, regardless of the location, it is a program suitable for a wide audience.

In the past, safety was often regarded as just an adjunct to production.
Today, it is well recognized that managing safety issues efficiently and effectively will contribute to an organization's financial viability and it will demonstrate a commitment to the most valuable asset of any organisation; its people.
Safety awareness is the starting point to accident prevention.
Included in this program:
What is Safety Awareness?
It's a responsibility, a commitment, an obligation. It's common sense, teamwork and safe work procedures. It's recognising hazards and showing a willingness to act to control any hazard present.
The program has been designed for all personnel. It can be used as a general safety training program and can also be utilised as an induction program for new personnel to introduce safety concepts.

This program examines the various ways stress can affect members of an organization as well as potential methods for combating it.
Topics included in the program:
Work-related stress is not always the easiest of workplace hazards to identify. But being aware of the potential risks, and moving pro-actively to prevent stress taking hold, will help minimize the chances of stress-related illness.

Statistics show that unsafe acts are the most common cause of workplace accidents. Despite the introduction of training programs and safe work practices and procedures, controlling unsafe acts has proven to be difficult. The reason for this is that unsafe acts involve the Human Factor, that is, they occur as a result of people’s attitudes and behaviors.
Behavioral Safety offers a way to reduce the incidence of unsafe acts by modifying people’s behaviors and improving their attitudes towards safety.
This program is designed to provide an understanding of Behavioral Safety and to show how a Behavioral Safety program works.

Feeling tired or drowsy after prolonged mental or physical effort at work is normal. Fatigue, however is more than just feeling tired.
Fatigue is an acute and/or chronic state of tiredness that can lead to mental and/or physical exhaustion. Fatigue prevents people from functioning within normal boundaries.
Fatigue can be physical, mental or both. It is worth noting that Fatigue is a ‘symptom’ rather than a ‘disease’ or ‘disorder’. This means if properly identified, fatigue can be effectively managed and controlled.
This program covers:
The objective of this program is to highlight the major hazard areas associated with Fatigue and by so doing, increase awareness of the standards for worker responsibility in observing and being active in daily safety procedures.
