What are the two major elements in GHS? The two major elements of GHS are: 1. Classification of the hazards of chemicals according to the GHS rules. GHS provides guidance on classifying pure chemicals and mixtures according to its criteria or rules. 2. Communication of the hazards and precautionary information using Safety Data Sheets and labels: Labels - With the GHS system, certain information will appear on the label. For example, the chemical identity may be required. Standardized hazard statements, signal words and symbols will appear on the label according to the classification of that chemical or mixture. Precautionary statements may also be required, if adopted by your regulatory authority. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) - The GHS SDS has 16 sections in a set order, and information requirements are prescribed.
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs) Summary of Information Section by Section Sect. 1. Product and Company Identification Sect. 2. Hazards Identification Sect. 3. Composition / Info. on Ingredients Sect. 4. First-Aid Measures Sect. 5. Firefighting Measures Sect. 6. Accidental Release Measures Sect. 7. Handling and Storage Sect. 8. Exposure Control / PPE Sect. 9. Physical / Chemical Properties Sect. 13. Disposal Considerations Sect. 10. Stability and Reactivity Sect. 14. Transport Information Sect. 11. Toxicological Information Sect. 15. Regulatory Information Sect. 12. Ecological Information Sect. 16. Miscellaneous info Where to find SDSs: http://www.calstatela.edu/univ/ehs/msds.php
GHS Labeling Supplier labels Labeling requirements are in a process of change from older HMS system to the new GHS system. The label shown is a typical GHS label. It will have the product name, a pictogram, signal word, hazard statement and supplier information as a minimum.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS / WASTE MANAGEMENT • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) provide all you need to know about the material’s hazards. • http://www.calstatela.edu/ehs/chemical-and-laboratory-safety • Campus Storage Priorities • Storage for Bulk Hazardous Materials (put in locked HAZMAT sheds away from buildings) • Proper Signage [NFPA emphasis] • Consult with Chemical Safety Officer at 3-3546 • Once a hazardous material is considered waste it requires proper waste labeling • Call RM/EHS for Pick-Up at Ext. 3-3531 or 3-6359
