3. Purpose of Hazard Communication Standard The Hazard Communication Standard provides employers and employees with information about the chemical hazards on the job, and how to protect against those hazards.

4. 2012 Revisions of the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) conform with the United Nations‘ GHS System. GOAL:  To provide a common and coherent approach for classifying chemicals.  Communicate hazard information on labels and safety data sheets.

6. Manufacturers, Distributors, Importers:  Change SDS information, format and labeling. Employers:  Train employees on changes to SDS and Labels. Employees:  Recognize and understand new labels and SDS.

8. Training is required for employees who are exposed to hazardous chemicals in their work area:  At the time of initial assignment  Whenever a new hazard is introduced into their work area

9.  The Written Program is managed by: {Insert name}  Information regarding hazardous chemicals used in this workplace can be found: {Insert name/location}  Our workplace SDSs are located:  For further information contact: {Insert name/phone}

10. Any chemical classified as a physical or health hazard that can do harm to your body.

11.  Ingestion  Ingestion – swallowing the chemical  Inhalation  Inhalation – breathing in the chemical  Absorption  Absorption – chemical passes through the skin

12. Solid Liquid Gas 9

13.  Describe the physical and health hazards of the chemicals used in your facility.  Describe safe work practices used to detect the presence or release of hazardous chemicals.  Hazardous chemicals are used in the following locations:

14. Each container of hazardous chemicals entering the workplace must be labeled or marked with:  Identity of the chemical  Appropriate hazard warnings  Name and address of the responsible party  Labels must be legible and in English.

15. Chemical manufacturers and importers must provide a label that includes:  Product Identifier  Signal word  Pictogram  Hazard Statement  Precautionary Statement for each hazard class and category.  Supplier Information

17.  Same label as the original label OR  Product Identifier  Words, pictures, symbols, or a combination  No conflicting hazard statements or warnings.

18.  This facility uses the following system for workplace labels: {Describe}  The person responsible for labeling: {Name}

19.  Effective June 1, 2015 all shipping labels will be required to have all GHS label elements.  Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates shipping containers and has unique pictograms.

22.  9 pictograms (8) regulated by OSHA  Categorized as follows:  Health Hazards  Physical Hazards  Environmental Hazards*

23.  Acute Toxicity ( Fatal/ Toxic)  Irritant/Skin Sensitizer  Skin Corrosion/Serious eye damage  Carcinogen  Respiratory sensitizer  Reproductive toxicity

28.  Explosives  Flammables  Gases Under Pressure  Oxidizers  Corrosive to Metals

35.  Can you identify which are the health hazards and physical hazards pictogram?  Which pictogram is not regulated by OSHA?

36. Used to indicate severity of hazard:  Danger  Danger - more severe  Warning  Warning - less severe

37. Standardized sentences that describe level of hazard

38.  Steps employees can take to protect themselves

39.  Must be in English  Required to keep for at least 30 years  Hardcopy and/or electronic  Readily accessible
