Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Employee Required Training By December 1, 2013 Train Employees on the new label elements and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Format

Key Label Elements Product identifier Supplier identifier Chemical identity Hazard pictograms* Signal words* Hazard statements* Precautionary information *Standardized

What is Changing? Uniformity-Oriented Approach Terminology Classification of Hazardous Materials Required Chemical Information Use of signal words, pictograms, and hazard warning Terminology “Hazard Determination” is now “Hazard Classification” “Evaluate” is now “Classify” “MSDS” is now “SDS”

The GHS Elements Classification Criteria Hazard e-mail Health and Environmental Hazards Physical Hazards Mixtures Hazard e-mail Labels Safety Data Sheets

Classification Criteria-Health/Environmental Hazards Acute Toxicity Skin Corrosion/Irritation Serious Eye Damage/Eye Irritation Respiratory or Skin Sensitization Germ Cell Mutagenicity Carcinogenicity Reproductive Toxicity Target Organ Systemic Toxicity/Single and Repeated Dose Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment

Classification Criteria-Physical Hazards Explosives Flammability – gases, aerosols, liquids, solids Oxidizers – liquid, solid, gases Self-Reactive Pyrophoric – liquids, solids Organic Peroxides Corrosive to Metals Gases Under Pressure Water-Activated Flammable Gases Focal Point: UN Committee of Experts on Transport of Dangerous Goods, in cooperation with the ILO. 7 7

Hazard Statements A single harmonized hazard statement for each level of hazard within each hazard class Example: Flammable liquids Category 1: Extremely flammable liquid and vapour Category 2: Highly flammable liquid and vapour Category 3: Flammable liquid and vapour Category 4: Combustible liquid

Transport Pictograms

Role of the SDS in the GHS The SDS should provide comprehensive information about a chemical substance or mixture. Primary Use: The Workplace Employers and workers use the SDS as a source of information about hazards and to obtain advice on safety precautions.

Safety Data Sheet Format Identification of the substance or mixture and of the supplier Hazards identification Composition/information on ingredients First-aid measures Fire-fighting measures Accidental release measures Handling and storage Exposure controls/personal protection. Physical and chemical properties Stability and reactivity Toxicological information Ecological information (non-mandatory) Disposal considerations (non-mandatory) Transport information (non-mandatory) Regulatory information (non-mandatory) Other information, including date of preparation or last revision   This slide lists the section headings of the SDS. To be consistent with the GHS, the revised standard requires that Sections 12 through 15 be listed on the SDS. We will not be enforcing the content of these sections since much of this information is not regulated by OSHA. We have provided Appendix D as a separate file for your reference – it contains all the requirements of each section of the safety data sheet. 2/6/2013 Cal/OSHA 13 13 13 13 13

What does this mean to you in the future? Integration of all new SDS Updating the hazard communication program Retraining of all employees Changes in record-keeping Inventory update Record retention
