Control Banding a “do it yourself” qualitative chemical risk management model, has received international acclaim. Joint labor/management teams from our region have been using the model for the past year. They represent some of the first workplaces in the country to use Control Banding. As OSHA moves closer to adopting the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for Hazard Communication, Control Banding becomes a real possibility. The health and safety professionals who attend this workshop will have the unique opportunity to hear about workplaces’ real world experiences with the model. After the workshop participants will be able to:
- Complete a workplace risk assessment using COSHH Essentials, a Control Banding tool
- Evaluate the effectiveness of using Control Banding in the real world
- Summarize the "lessons learned" from several Control Banding validation and verification efforts
- Comment on the GHS for Hazard Communication and the implications for Control Banding
