Join us this holiday season for some great education, including a hot topic in the metalworking fluids industry - OSHA's New GHS Regulations, the last event in the Condition Monitoring Data Interpretation Series: Advanced Report Reading, and Grease Compatibility. Registration is now open for all 2012 events. Be sure to get in some continuing education before you leave for your holiday break. I hope you have a good holiday season and safe travels, and here's to a productive 2013!
OSHA's New GHS Regulations - Challenges for Metalworking Fluid Formulators
Date/Time: Wednesday, December 5, 2012; 12-1pm Central with additional Q&A from 1-1:30pm
Instructor: John Howell, Safety, Health and Environmental Specialist at GHS Resources, Inc.
Overview: Among the many challenges metalworking formulators need to understand is how to use the new GHS mixture rules to classify metalworking formulations. Another challenge is where to find raw material classification information if its not yet been provided by your raw material supplier. We will go through OSHA's new tiered approach for mixtures: use test data when available; use bridging principles if applicable and, if neither of these first two approaches work for you, how to estimate hazards based on known ingredient information. We will learn how to use the European Chemicals Agency's Classification and Labeling Inventory to ascertain classification information for raw materials and then work through the algorithms for skin and eye irritation and for acute toxicity. This will give formulators a head start in understanding how metalworking products will be classified under the new rules.

Grease Compatibility
Date/Time: Wednesday, December 12, 2012; 12-1pm Central with additional Q&A from 1-1:30pm
Instructor: Heinrich Braun, Global Technical Grease Team Lead, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties
Overview: Grease compatibility is an important consideration when converting from one grease to another. Mixing incompatible greases can produce a lubricant with significantly inferior performance to its constituents, and thus have a negative effect on the ability of the grease mix to perform in the application. This webinar will address grease compatibility based on grease constituents, common observations when mixing incompatible greases, as well as some best practices of grease compatibility testing.
