Course Description
Basic Product Labeling is tailored to appeal to company personnel newly assigned the task of developing and managing the product labeling function. Critical and timely topics to be covered include:

• UNDERSTANDING Hazard and Precautionary Label Requirements
• Getting the RIGHT AMOUNT of Label Information on Small Containers
• Assessing POTENTIAL RISKS from Product Use
• INTERNATIONAL LABELING resources available from ACA
• The importance of label content on "DIRECTIONS FOR USE"
• PROPOSITION 65 Update

The presenters will be referring to specific technical content in the ACA's Industry Labeling Guide (Fifth Edition, May 2005). While ACA members are eligible to download the complete guide, all participants in the VLC will receive a special PDF file that will include the referenced aspects. As a result, non-members of ACA will gain additional insights on the information and resources available to ACA members.

In addition to basic product labeling, a special segment of the VLC is dedicated to provide information on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) efforts to adopt the UN's emerging Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for the Classification and Labeling of Hazardous Chemicals.
