GHS is NOW in Place in Canadaand the United States
GHS DID NOT REPLACE DANGEROUS GOOD/HAZMAT AWARENESS/TRAINING, IT IS NOW IN UNISON TO
SUPPORT EDUCATION AND PROTECTION OF WORKERS

Lets make it perfectly clear from the startTHIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THAT
![Page 3: Ghs is now in place in canada but what about tdg](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c6185fbb61eba47d8b45fd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
HAZMAT/TDGGHS is about controlled products for industrial use and deals with the effects to workers of hazardous materials. TDG Regulation deals with controlling the immediate hazards of exposure to hazardous materials in the event of a spill or leak during transportation. GHS stands for the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. GHS is a system that defines and classifies the hazards of chemical products, and communicates health and safety information on labels and material safety data sheets (called Safety Data Sheets, or SDSs, in GHS). The goal is that the same set of rules for classifying hazards, and the same format and content for labels and safety data sheets (SDS) will be adopted and used around the world. An international team of hazard communication experts developed GHS.What is a ERAP? • An ERAP is an Emergency Response Assistance Plan. This is a plan which must be filed and
approved by Transport Canada when certain hazardous goods are transported.
How will the GHS ( Globally Harmonized System) affect TDG in Canada?• According to Health Canada - not that much. Canadian TDG Regulations are already based on
the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations. Only acute health and physical hazards are addressed by GHS and GHS symbols used for them are the same as those used in the TDG. More detailed information is available at: http://hc-sc.gc.ca/ahc-asc/intactiv/ghs-sgh/implement/ghs2-eng.php . Information about the schedule for implementation can be found at: http://www.unece.org/trans/danger/publi/ghs/ghs_welcome_e.html

GHS is a program governed by a law
TDG/HazMat is just that it is A LAW no programs govern
It! Hence you must still follow And conform with this law

Do you have your ERG Guide BookThe ERG contains an indexed list of dangerous goods and the associated ID number, the general hazards they pose, and recommended safety precautions. For example, if emergency responders arrive at the scene of an overturned tractor trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, they would use the guide to identify the material associated with the placard and how to respond accordingly.• The 2012 version of the ERG includes general revisions, reorganized
general information pages, and new tables such as Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for large spills involving six common toxic inhalation hazard gases. Updated every four years, the ERG is available free to public safety agencies in all states and territories through designated state coordinators’ offices.
