2.  Background – old HCS  Why/Benefits  Labeling/Pictograms  Safety Data Sheets (SDS)  Hazard Classification  Changes in other OSHA Standards  HCS Appendices  References  Quiz Contents

3.  Background – The original HCS was issued by OSHA in 1994. It required manufacturers to evaluate the hazards, label the containers and provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Those pieces of the HCS have been updated, and will be discussed in this training.  Some of the unchanged provisions of the HCS include the requirements for a chemical inventory and the requirements for a Written Hazard Communication Program Old Hazard Communication Standard

4.  If you have never had Hazard Communication training, you should take the following course (as well as this one):  http://www.lni.wa.gov/Safety/Topics/AtoZ/Hazcom/de fault.asp http://www.lni.wa.gov/Safety/Topics/AtoZ/Hazcom/de fault.asp  This course is provided by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. Old Hazard Communication Training

5.  This is an updated OSHA standard  International approach  Standardized approach to classifying chemical hazards  Based on major existing systems around the world. HCS 2012

6.  Ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified  Ensure that the information on these hazards is transmitted to employers and employees  Intended to be consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Why/Benefits

7.  The transmission of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive hazard communication programs which are to include container labeling, pictograms and other forms of warning, safety data sheets (SDS) and employee training  Also helps to reduce trade barriers  Productivity improvements for American businesses that have international components Why/Benefits (cont.)

8.  Training – by December 1, 2013  Labeling – including pictograms  Safety Data Sheets (SDS)  Hazard Classification HCS 2012 Major Changes

9.  As of June 1, 2015 all labels will be required to have the following:  Pictograms  Signal Word  Hazard and precautionary statements  Product identifier  Supplier Identification Labeling

11. Label Example

12.  As of June 1, 2015, the HCS will require pictograms on labels to alert users of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed.  Each pictogram consists of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border and represents a distinct hazard.  The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard classification.  There are 9 different pictograms. Pictograms

24.  As of June 1, 2015, chemical manufacturers, distributors or importers are required to provide SDS to communicate the hazards of hazardous chemical products.  SDS – formerly Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs  New SDSs will be in a uniform format with 16 sections with standard headings  Laboratory employers that ship hazardous chemicals must provide a SDS with the shipment. This also applies to newly synthesized and uncharacterized chemicals:  http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_docume nt?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24782 http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_docume nt?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24782 Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

29.  Readily accessible to employees  Electronic access and other alternatives to maintaining paper copies are permitted  At each work location  Available for every shift  Shipped with every outgoing shipment of hazardous chemicals SDS shall be:

30.  Manufacturers are still responsible for determining the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import.  Classification is based on the full range of available information. The procedures for determining if the manufacturer has properly performed the hazard classification are provided in Appendix A (health) and Appendix B (physical).  Placing a chemical into a "hazard class", and where necessary, a "hazard category", is the concept of classification - determining not only the hazard, but the severity of the effect. Hazard Classification:

31.  Appendix A – Health hazard criteria  Appendix B – Physical hazard criteria  Hazard Class – the nature of the physical or health hazard  Hazard Category – the division of the criteria within each hazard class ◦ Categories compare hazard severity within the class Hazard Criteria, Class and Category

37.  Many other OSHA standards contain criteria related to defining hazards, as well as other provisions that rely on those criteria.  OSHA undertook a comprehensive review of its rules to identify what needed to be changed.  OSHA has proposed modifications to all of those standards that it determined needed to be consistent with the GHS.
