GHS May Be Delayed?
So, after all this time OSHA finally decides to send the GHS proposal to the Office of Management and Budget for Review? A proposal that should have been out and adopted a couple of years ago. A proposal that essentially is so delayed the U.S. has fallen far, far behind the European union in addressing GHS. But now - guess what? All of a sudden we have some industry folks claiming that the proposal may cause an undue hardship on small business. Now, I'm not questioning whether or not this is true. What I am questioning is the fact that if this is such a concern, why didn't industry address the question anytime during the last three years? But they decided to wait until the proposal moves forward so they can again delay implementation. And we wonder why the process is so messed up!
