5. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Global Harmonization System OSHA’s new Global Harmonization System (GHS) went into effect on May 25 th. What does it mean to you?  Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will now be called Safety Data Sheets (SDS).  SDS’s will all have the same format – there will be 16 sections on each SDS. First Aid will always be in Section 4 and PPE requirements will always be in Section 8.  You will have to use new labels that include a Signal Word indicating danger or warning,” a Pictogram showing the danger of the chemical for secondary containers.  You will be retrained every time a new SDS comes into your facility.

6. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Hazards of Chemicals… Under the GHS there are two basic types of chemical classifications:  Physical Hazard Classifications  Health Hazard Classes Note: "Know what you are working with and how to protect yourself and others.“

7. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Appendices to HazCom 12 Standard The new Global Harmonization System has added the following appendices: Appendix A, Health Hazard Criteria Appendix B, Physical Hazard Criteria Appendix C, Allocation of Label Elements Appendix D, Safety Data Sheets Appendix E, Definition of “Trade Secret” Appendix F, Guidance for Hazard Classification regarding Carcinogenicity (non-mandatory)

8. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Global Harmonization System New definitions included in GHS are: Hazardous ChemicalHealth Hazard LabelMixture Physical Hazard Hazard Category Hazard ClassHazard Statement Hazard Not Otherwise Classified Label ElementsPictogram Precautionary statementProduct identifier Safety Data SheetSignal Word Substance

9. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Physical Hazards… Chemicals are classified as having Physical Hazards if they are:  ExplosiveOxidizing liquids  Flammable gasesOxidizing solids  Flammable aerosolsOrganic peroxides  Oxidizing gasesCorrosive to metals  Gases under pressureSelf-reactive chemicals  Flammable solidsPyrophoric liquids  Self-heating chemicalsPyrophoric solids  Chemicals which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Note: Some chemicals may be safe by themselves, but become dangerous when in contact with other substances.

10. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Chemicals with Physical Hazards… used only by trained employees  Are used only by trained employees  Are stored in a safe manner; and  Never mixed with other chemicals unless by an approved procedure

11. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence GHS Listed Hazards... GHS health hazard classes that cause the following are included in the list: Acute toxicity (LD 50 and LC 50 ) Skin corrosion/irritation Serious eye damage/eye irritation Respiratory and skin sensitization Germ cell mutagenicity Reproductive toxicity Carcinogenicity Specific target organ toxicity (STOT) Aspiration hazard  All physical hazard classes/categories are covered  No environmental hazards are included

12. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Chemicals can enter the body through : your lungs if you breath fumes, mists or dust your skin if liquid or dust touches or spills on you or splashes in your eyes your mouth if you eat after handling chemicals accidental swallowing of a chemical

13. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence How must chemicals be labeled?  All labels will include four new elements:  Signal word- either DANGER or WARNING  Pictogram that includes a symbol along with other graphical elements, such as a border or background color.  Hazard statements describing the hazards associated with a chemical.  Precautionary statements to describe recommended measures that should be taken to protect against hazardous exposures

14. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Labeling of Secondary Containers If a chemical is transferred to another container, the new container must have the proper label placed on it at all times.

15. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Pictogram Definitions

16. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Safely Storing Chemicals Store incompatible chemicals in separate areas. Limit the amount of flammable material to the minimum needed. Store flammable liquids in approved flammable storage lockers. Store acids in separate storage lockers Do not store chemicals in a refrigerator used for food storage

17. ® ® Striving For Safety Excellence Safety Data Sheets The new standardized format for Safety Data Sheets must be in English and includes at least the following section numbers and headings, and associated information under each heading, in the order listed: 1. Identification of the substance or mixture & company 2. Hazard(s) identification 3. Composition/information on ingredients 4. First aid measures 5. Fire-fighting measures 6. Accidental release measures 7. Handling and storage 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
