1 GHS Compliance Education for H 2 Orange 2 ® Concentrate 117™ Label Elements and SDS Instructions and Examples

2 Overview December 1, 2013 Employees who come into contact with cleaning chemicals as part of his or her jobs must be trained on how to read GHS formatted labels and SDS. Why? To ensure employees have the information they need to better protect themselves from chemical hazards in the workplace during the transition period, it is critical that employees understand the new label and SDS formats.

3 Agenda New Label & SDS Elements You Need to Know How to Use & Understand Labels in the Workplace SDS Education How Label Information is Related to SDS

4 New Label & SDS Elements You Need to Know Product Identifier Signal Word Pictograms Hazard Statements Precautionary Statements Name, Address, and Phone of the Chemical Manufacturer, Distributor, or Importer SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS

5 Product Identifier How the hazardous chemical is identified. This can be (but is not limited to): – The chemical name – Code number or batch number – The manufacturer, importer or distributor can decide the appropriate product identifier. Where to Find It – SDS  Section 1 – On the Label (Name) and Bottle (Lot Number) H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 Example -Name: EnvirOx™ H 2 Orange 2 ® Concentrate 117 -Batch (Lot) Number: Printed below the label directly on the bottle SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS

6 Signal Word Used to alert the reader to a potential hazard on the label. There are only two signal words: – “Danger” = More Severe Hazards – “Warning” = Less Severe Hazards There will only be one signal word on the label no matter how many hazards a chemical may have. Where to Find It – SDS  Section 2 – Label  Underneath the Product Name H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 Example Less Severe Hazards Warning SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS

7 Pictograms OSHA has designated eight pictograms under this standard for application to a hazard category. H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 Example Irritant Corrosion Aquatic Pollution Gases Under Pressure Irritant Flammables Explosives/Reactive Carcinogenic/Respir atory Sensitizer Acute Toxicity (Severe) Oxidizers SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS Where to Find Them -SDS  Section 2 -Label  Under “Precautionary Statements” Note: Some products may have multiple pictograms

8 Hazard Statements Describe the nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard. Where to Find Them – SDS  Section 2 – Label  Under “Precautionary Statements” H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 Example “Causes serious eye irritation.” SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS

9 Precautionary Statements A phrase that describes what to do: -if harmful exposure to a hazardous chemical happens. -if a chemical is improperly stored or handled. Where to Find It  SDS: Section 2, Label: under “Precautionary Statements” H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 Example REMEMBER: Signal Word = “Warning”  Less Hazardous -If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. -Keep out of reach of children. -Read label before use. -Wear eye/face protection. -Wash thoroughly after handling. -IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. -If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS

10 Product Manufacture/Distribution Info Manufacturer Name Address Phone of the Chemical Manufacturer Distributor Importer H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 Example -EnvirOx, LLC -1938 E Fairchild, Danville, IL 61832 -(800) 281-9604 -Typical Distributors, Inc. SDS & LABEL ELEMENTS Where to Find It -SDS  Section 2 -On the Label

11 How to Use the Labels in the Workplace You have extra bottles of H 2 Orange 2 Concentrate 117 in your facility. How do you insure they are stored properly? – Read the product label under the “Storage and Disposal” section and follow proper storage instructions. – See Section 7 of the SDS: “Handling and Storage” SITUATION: An employee accidentally splashes chemical in their eyes and is in pain from it. What do you do? – If accidental chemical spray to the eyes happens, read (or have some else read if you are unable) the label under the “First Aid” section and take appropriate actions. – See Section 4 of the SDS: “First Aid Measures” LABEL USE

12 Understanding How Elements Work Together on a Label When a chemical has multiple hazards, different pictograms are used to identify the various hazards. You should expect to see the appropriate pictogram for the corresponding hazard class. When there are similar precautionary statements, the one providing the most protective information will be included on the label. LABEL USE
