Free Hazard Communication training (GHS)
Understand the labels, pictograms and safety data sheets that tell you what a chemical can do and how to work with it safely. Free to study at your own pace; certificates and training records come through EHSTEC LMS.
Read the label, read the sheet, work the chemical safely
- The nine GHS pictograms and what each one warns about — flame, corrosion, health hazard, oxidizer and the rest — and the signal words "Danger" and "Warning".
- How to read a GHS-format label: product identifier, hazard and precautionary statements, and the supplier information.
- The 16-section safety data sheet: where to find first-aid, handling and storage, exposure controls and spill response when you need them fast.
What the course does — and what stays with your employer
This course builds awareness of the Hazard Communication Standard and how to read GHS labels and safety data sheets. It does not replace your employer’s written hazard communication program, the specific chemical inventory on your site, or training on the particular hazards of the products you handle.

These are hazard-awareness and workplace-training courses. They are not OSHA Outreach Training Program courses and do not result in a DOL card, which only an OSHA-authorized trainer can issue. Completing a course supports your employer’s compliance with the standard it covers; it does not by itself make anyone authorized, competent or certified to operate equipment. EHSTEC is not affiliated with or endorsed by OSHA.
