1. 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

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

4. 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”

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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

10. Transport Pictograms

12. 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.

13. 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.

Updating the hazard communication program
Retraining of all employees
Changes in record-keeping
Inventory update
Record retention
