Safety Data Sheet and label Training

1. Safety Data Sheet and label Training Prepared by Gary Johnson October 2013

2. Background information • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must be provided by manufacturer/provider – required by the Hazard Communication Standard. • SDS and labels must conform to the Global harmonizing System (GHS)

3. Background information • Safety data sheets must be provided by manufacturer/provider/importer – • These replace the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) • Labels and SDS must conform to the GHS standard • Both required by the Hazard Communication Standard.

4. Format • SDS contains generally the same information as the MSDS. • SDS will be in a consistent 16 - section format

5. Format • Section 1 • Identifies the chemical and other common names or synonyms • Contains the name , address, and phone number of the manufacturer/importer. • Describes briefly the recommended use of the chemical, and any restrictions on use.

6. Format • Section 2 • Identifies the hazard classification of the chemical • Uses signal words (i.e. warning). • Gives hazard statements • Uses pictograms to identify the hazard • Precautionary statements • Description of hazards not otherwise classified • For a mixture gives the percent of each component.

7. Format • Section 3 – substance( one ingredient ) • Chemical name • Synonyms • CAS number • Impurities and stabilizing additives which contribute to the classification of the chemical

8. Format • Section 3 – Mixtures • Same information as required for Substances • Chemical name and concentration of all ingredients classified as health hazard and are • Present above their cut-off/ concentration limits • Present a health risk below the cut-off /concentration limits • A range may be used if the exact quantities are a trade secret • There is batch to batch variation • SDS is used for a group of substantially similar mixtures

9. Format • Section 4 – first aid measures • First aid instructions by relevant routes of exposure (inhalation, skin and eye contact, and ingestion) • Description of symptoms • Recommendation of immediate medical care and special treatment , when necessary.

10. Format • Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures • Recommend suitable extinguishing equipment, and information about what equipment that is not appropriate for a particular situation. • Advice on specific hazards that develop from the chemical during a fire – combustion products. • Recommendation on special protective equipment for fire fighters.

11. Format • Section 6 – Accidental release measures • Advises appropriate response to spills • Use of precautions ( remove ignition source, provide sufficient ventilation) • Emergency procedures ( evacuation, consult experts, and PPE) • Methods and materials for containment • Cleanup procedures ( neutralize, decontaminate, adsorbent materials, equipment)

12. Format • Section 7 – handling and storage • Precautions for safe handling including recommendations for handling incompatible chemicals, minimize environmental release, and general hygiene practices advise. • Recommendation on the conditions for safe storage including incompatibles, and special storage requirements (e.g. ventilation)

13. Format • Section 8 - Exposure controls, Personal protective equipment • OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits(PELs), Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) and any other exposure limit used or recommended by the manufacturer. • Appropriate engineering controls • Recommendations for PPE (i.e. appropriate types of eye/face skin or respiratory protection needed based on hazards and potential exposure. • Specific special requirement for PPE (i.e. type of glove material, and breakthrough time of glove material)

14. Format • Section 9 – Physical and chemical properties • Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits • Vapor presure • Vapor density • Relative density • Solubilities • Partition coefficient • Auto ignition temperature • Decomposition temperature • Viscosity • Appearance • Odor, and odor threshold • pH • Melting point • Boiling point and range • Flash point • Evaporation rate • Flammability (solid, gas)

15. Format • Section 10 – Chemical stability and reactivity • Reactivity • Specific test data for the chemical(s) • Chemical stability • Indication of whether the chemical is stable or unstable under normal ambient temperature and conditions while in storage • Description of any stabilizers that may be needed to maintain chemical stabililty • Indication of any safety issues that may arise should the product change physical appearance. • Other • Indicate possible hazardous reactions, including polymerization or reaction that may produce heat, pressure, or other hazardous condition. • List of conditions to avoid • List of classes of incompabile materials • List of know or anticipated hazardous decomposition products that could be produced because of use, storage or heating

16. Format • Section 11 - Toxicological information • Information on routes of exposure • Description of delayed, immediate, or chronic effect from short and long term exposure • Numerical measures of toxicity ( i.e. acute toxicity estimates LD50) • Description of symptoms. Form lowest to the most severe exposure • National Toxicology Program (NTP) listing as carcinogen, or International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC) monographs or potential carcinogen by OSHA

17. Format • Section 12, 13, 14, 15 – non mandatory • Ecological information – not regulated by OSHA – but by DEQ • Disposal considerations – not regulated by OSHA – but by DEQ • Transport information – not regulated by OSHA – but by DOT • Regulatory information • National or regional regulatory information

18. Format • Section 16 • When the SDS was prepared or the last known revision was made. • Any other useful information provided by manufacturer/supplier.

19. Labels • Must contain hazard pictograms / hazard statements • Must contain signal words • As of June 1, 2015 all containers will be required to have GHS compliant labels • All secondary containers must have these labels also!

20. Pictograms • Flame Over Circle • Oxidizer • Flame • flammable

21. Pictograms • Exploding Bomb • Explosives • Skull and Crossbones • Poisonous

22. Pictograms • Corrosion • Gas Cylinder

23. Pictograms • Health Hazard • Environment

24. Pictograms • Exclamation Mark

25. Pictograms

27. Categories • Categories range from 1-5 for health hazards • The larger the number the lower the hazard. • Full information at • https://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/ghs.html#4.6 • Categories range from 1-6 for explosive hazard • Different span dependent on hazard see site above for specifics.
