8/17/20151 Hazard Communication with Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) Update

HazCom with GHS UPDATE 8/17/20152 NO CHANGES to the HazCom Standard!! UPDATE to HazCom Standard!

Purpose of HazCom 8/17/20153  All employees have a right to know the hazards and identities of chemicals they may be exposed to when working.  They also need to know what protective measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring.  The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR , requires employers to identify materials/chemicals used in the workplace, (properly classify) them as “hazardous” and inform their employees of their potential exposure along with the measures necessary to prevent exposure to these hazards. Hazard Communication NO CHANGES!!

Purpose of the GHS 8/17/20154 Globally Harmonized System UPDATE!  The GHS was developed to “harmonize” existing chemical classification and labeling systems so that a single global system could be used to address the classification of chemicals, labels and data sheets.  It does not replace the Hazard Communication Standard, but will require updates of:  “hazard classification” replaces “hazard determination”  “labeling” (more specifications).  “safety data sheet” replaces “material safety data Sheet”. NOTE: Training is essentially the same with updates to the above sections.

Why use GHS? 8/17/20155 Globally Harmonized System  The GHS is expected to: 1)Enhance the protection of human health and the environment. 2)Provide a framework for those countries with no current system. 3)Reduce the need for testing & evaluation of chemicals. 4)Facilitate international trade. UPDATE!

OSHA-Final Rule 8/17/20156 Globally Harmonized System Effective Dates: 12/1/13: All employees must be trained on new label elements and SDS format. 6/1/15: Manufacturers and distributors must comply with all modified provisions except that distributors have until 12/1/15 to provide revised labels for all products shipped. 6/1/16: OSHA enforcement starts: Employers must update all labels and HazCom program, provide additional training for workers on newly identified physical or health hazards. During transition period, employers can comply with old or new standard as far as labels and SDSs. UPDATE!

Requirements are the Same 8/17/20157 Everyone who works with or is potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals must receive initial Hazard Communication training prior to working with a chemical. Retraining will be required if new hazards are introduced into the workplace, processes change or exposures increase. Hazard Communication NO CHANGES!!

8/17/20158 Hazard Communication with GHS Update Training Topics Employees still must receive information and training and have an understanding of:  The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard;  The hazards of chemicals found in their workplace;  Chemical Classifications per GHS;  How exposures could occur;  Labeling methods (Including GHS Labels);  How to read and interpret a Safety Data Sheets (SDSs);  Methods to prevent exposure. UPDATE!

Major Changes to HazCom per GHS 8/17/20159 Globally Harmonized System UPDATE! NEW Hazard Classifications  Physical hazards (16 classes)  Health hazards (10 classes)  Environmental (2 classes) Hazard Communication  Labeling (New classifications/Categories)  Safety Data Sheets (Replaces Material Safety Data Sheets)

NEW Hazard Classifications 8/17/ Globally Harmonized System UPDATE! Physical Hazards:  Explosive substances  Flammable substances  Oxidizers  Self-reactive substances  Self-heating substances  Pyrophoric substances  Substances corrosive to metals

8/17/ Globally Harmonized System UPDATE! Health 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 Repeat Exposure NEW Hazard Classifications

8/17/ Globally Harmonized System UPDATE! Environmental Hazards:  Aquatic Toxicity  Chronic Aquatic Toxicity  Hazardous to Ozone Layer (Non-Mandatory) NEW Hazard Classifications

Links to New GHS Hazard Classifications: 8/17/ Globally Harmonized System Chemicals will still continue to be classified but the criteria for classification is found in Appendix A: pdf pdf Appendix B: pdf pdf

8/17/ Globally Harmonized System UPDATE!  Pictograms will be required by June 1, 2015 to alert users of chemical hazards.  Each will consist of a symbol on a white background framed with a red border.  The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard Classification.

25 GHS: Label Must Include Label must include:  Product identifier  Supplier identifier  Chemical identity  Hazard Symbols (standardized)  Signal words (standardized)  Hazard statements (standardized)  Precautionary Statements (not standardized; guidance offered) UPDATE!

8/17/201526

All Hazardous Chemical Containers must have labels applied Except: 8/17/  Exceptions: 1.Stationary containers with similar contents in a single area; 2.Portable containers if “for immediate use”. HazCom Labeling…..What has not changed?

8/17/ HazCom Labeling…..What has not changed? Other types of labeling, for example, NFPA and HMIS labels, may still be used to label “In Plant/Facility Chemical Containers”.

HazCom “Safety Data Sheets”…..What has not changed? 8/17/  Must be legible and in English;  Must have one for every hazardous chemical on site;  Must be available at all times to employees;  Must be reviewed to ensure most current is on hand. They Still:

GHS Safety Data Sheets – What has Changed? “Material” has disappeared, they are now Safety Data Sheets. The SDS has 16 instead of 12 sections. SDS is more uniform and easier to read. 8/17/ UPDATE!
