Description:

The goal of this course is to provide a detailed understanding of U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) labeling requirements. Emphasis will be placed on relevant Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) regulations as they pertain to the labeling of consumer products and art and craft materials, and the risk-based labeling aspects of consumer labels. The course will also provide time for working through selected examples of FHSA-compliant labeling and for participant discussion of consumer labeling issues.

This is considered to be an advanced course. While there are no formal prerequisites for this course, it is strongly recommended that participants have a working knowledge of MSDS and labels and that they have either taken the SCHC courses Toxicology for Hazard Communication and Hazard Determination and Risk Assessments or that they are comfortable with the basic principles of toxicology and risk assessment.
