Nearly three years after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) moved to adopt the United Nation's Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), jan/san distributors say they are moving full force ahead to bring their existing inventories into compliance by year's end.

At the time, distributors say it wasn’t clear how significant — or costly — the transition would be for their manufacturer suppliers.
