How can we use the latest databases and technology to train workers on chemical hazards and healthier alternatives? This workshop will present new methods of chemical hazard communication, alternatives analysis and preventive decision-making that could can help ensure that green jobs are also safe and healthy jobs. Material Safety and Data Sheet information, and much more, will someday be available to every worker on their mobile phone. That day is not as far away as you might think.
