USG Corporation, a leading building products company, introduces new product packaging designed to make packaging simpler and clearer for users. This follows on the heels of the company’s new brand identity launched last year and leads the charge on compliance with the 2015 OSHA mandate to standardize global hazardous material warnings which goes into effect on June 1, 2015.
Beginning in January 2015, customers will see the new packaging on shelves ahead of the June 1, 2015 deadline established by OSHA’s new Global Harmonization Standard, an amendment to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. The amendment outlines how hazard classification should be showcased on products, and required elements on product labeling, a uniform format for Safety Data Sheets, and employee training.
