Introduction:

 

 

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard was recently revised to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

December 1, 2013:

 

• Employees must be trained on the changes to the OSHA Hazard Communication standard, the new GHS labeling system and the new GHS safety data sheets (SDS).
• Employees must be aware of the changes so they can correctly interpret the hazards of the chemicals they work with based on the new labels and safety data sheets they may encounter.

June 1, 2015:

• Must convert to the new GHS labeling and SDS systems, the GHS system is being implemented worldwide.

 

 

 

Course Objectives:

 

 

 

·         Outline Changes to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard

 

·         Review Key Changes to Labeling System

 

·         Discuss the New Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Format

 

·         Summarize what to expect going forward

 

·         Provide Resources Necessary for Training Employees

 

 

 

Summary:

 

 

 

The purpose of the “Train-the-Trainer” Sessions will be to inform RCUH Supervisors specifics about the upcoming training requirements and deadlines regarding the changes to the Hazard Communication Standard.  Upon conclusion of the training; resources will be provided to assist supervisors with training project employees in order to be in compliance with these OSHA Requirements and Training Deadlines.

If you are currently participating in RCUH’s Group Retirement Annuity (GRA) and/or Supplemental Retirement Annuity (SRA) plans administered through TIAA-CREF OR if you are interested in enrolling into a TIAA-CREF SRA plan, the RCUH Human Resources Department is now coordinating one-hour Individual/Employee Retirement Counseling Sessions with TIAA-CREF.  During these meetings, you will be able to discuss your personal financial/retirement goals with a TIAA-CREF Financial Consultant, on a free and confidential basis.

 

A TIAA-CREF representative will be able to assist you with planning for your retirement goals, including:

• Setting realistic goals for key life events and retirement
• Reviewing your investment mix and strategy
• Selecting your TIAA-CREF options
• Learning about TIAA-CREF retirement income flexibility 

For employees unfamiliar with the SRA plan, it is considered a 403(b) tax-deferred annuity plan which allows an employee to make contributions via payroll deduction from his/her pre-tax earnings towards an individual retirement plan (i.e., SRA) through our third party administrator, TIAA-CREF.  Enrolling or making changes to your SRA election may be done at any time during the year. For more information about the GRA and SRA plans, please go to our website, www.rcuh.com and review the RCUH Retirement Plans Policy (3.560).
