US: OSHA partners with Health Canada on GHS requirements

30 June 2015

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it will continue their partnership with Health Canada to align United States and Canadian regulatory approaches regarding labelling and classification requirements for workplace chemicals through the Regulatory Cooperation Council.
The goal of the partnership is to implement a system allowing the use of one label and one safety data sheet that would be acceptable in both countries. OSHA and Health Canada signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2013 to promote ongoing collaboration on implementing the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling in their jurisdictions (OSHA Trade News Release, 28 May 2015).
