Label / Safety Data Sheet Training Preview

1. Label / Safety Data Sheet Training Preview Hazard Communication Standard 2012 Revision

2. Hazard Communication Standard OSHA revised HazComm standard Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) Changes in chemical labels and safety data sheets

3. Goals of New Standard Provide a common and coherent look Enhance worker comprehension Reduce confusion Safer training Safer handling and use of chemicals Quicker and more efficient access to data sheets

4. December 1st, 2013 Compliance deadline! All employees must be trained on new label elements and SDS format

5. Label Information Pictogram Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Product identifier and supplier information

6. Reclassification Ratings GHS classification ratings order of severity differ from NFPA and HMIS: HMIS/NFPA 0 = least hazardous 4 = most hazardous GHS 5 = least hazardous 1 = more hazardous

7. Label Pictograms Symbol on white background with red square frame 8 pictograms used by OSHA

8. Pictogram: Health Hazard • Carcinogen • Mutagenicity • Reproductive toxicity • Respiratory sensitizer • Target organ toxicity • Aspiration toxicity • Germ cell mutagens

9. Pictogram: Flame • Flammable • Pyrophorics • Self-heating • Emits flammable gas • Self-reactives • Organic peroxides

10. Pictogram: Exclamation Mark • Irritant • Skin sensitizer • Acute toxicity • Narcotic effects • Respiratory tract irritant • Hazardous to ozone layer

11. Pictogram: Gas Cylinder • Gases under pressure

12. Pictogram: Corrosion • Skin corrosion/burns • Eye damage • Corrosive to metals

13. Pictogram: Exploding Bomb • Explosives • Self-reactives • Organic peroxide

14. Pictogram: Flame Over Circle • Oxidizers

15. Pictogram: Skull & Crossbones • Acute toxicity • Fatal or toxic

16. Signal Word • Single word • Danger – severe hazards • Warning – less severe

17. Hazard Statement • Assigned to hazard class and category • Nature of hazard • Degree of hazard “Causes serious eye irritation” “Highly flammable liquid and vapor”

18. Precautionary Statement Minimize/prevent adverse effects from exposure, improper storage, or handling “Keep away from heat” “Wear protective gloves/clothing”

19. Sample Label

20. SDS – Safety Data Sheets Replaces MSDS 16 sections listed in specific order Can use MSDS and SDS sheets during transition Recommend changing to SDS when available

21. SDS – Section 1: Identification Product identifier Manufacturer’s contact information Recommended uses of the product Emergency phone number

22. SDS – Section 2: Hazard Identification Pictograms Hazard statement Signal words Precautionary statement Unclassified hazards

23. SDS – Section 3: Composition/Information on Ingredients Chemical name Common name and synonyms List of all ingredients

24. SDS – Section 4: First-Aid Measures Initial care steps responding to exposure Lists the most significant effects Acute and delayed effects Immediate medical attention Special treatment if necessary

25. SDS – Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures Recommendations for fighting fire caused by product Special protective equipment and precautions Risks developed during the fire – hazardous combustion

26. SDS – Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Appropriate response to spills or leaks of product Methods and materials for containment/clean up Precautions, protective equipment Emergency procedures

27. SDS – Section 7: Handling & Storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage

28. SDS – Section 8: Exposure Controls & Personal Protection • Measures to minimize worker exposure • OSHA PEL • exposure limits • PPE • personal protection

29. SDS – Section 9: Physical & Chemical Properties Appearance Odor pH Melting/freezing points Density Threshold Pressure

30. SDS – Section 10: Stability & Reactivity Conditions to avoid Reactivity Chemical stability Possible hazardous reactions Incompatible materials

31. SDS – Section 11: Toxicological Information Toxicological effects Likely exposure routes Delayed and immediate effects of exposure Chronic effects from short and long term exposure

32. SDS – Section 12: Ecological Information Not mandatory Information on the environmental impact the product causes

33. SDS – Section 13: Disposal Information Proper disposal and recycling methods Related to product and container Safe handling

34. SDS – Section 14: Transport Information Classification for shipping and transport Special precautions if necessary

35. SDS – Section 15: Regulatory Information Safety regulations Health regulations Environmental regulations

36. SDS – Section 16: Other Date of preparation of SDS Date of last revision made What changes were made

37. Sample SDS

38. How to Prepare? • Gather new standard information • Plan the transition • Inventory in-house chemicals • Update MSDS documentation • Update workplace labels • Schedule/conduct training

39. Implementation December 1, 2013 – employees trained on SDS/labels June 1, 2015 – manufacturers must comply with all final rules and provisions December 1, 2015 – distributors must cease shipping products with old labeling June 1, 2016 – update all labeling and hazard programs in the workplace
