Global Harmonized System (GHS) & Safety Data Sheets

1. Global Harmonized System (GHS) & Safety Data Sheets

2. Prequiz:How Much Do You Know? Under the GHS, OSHA will no longer regulate workplace hazardous chemicals The SDS contains less information than the old MSDS The SDS can create a safer work environment for you and your co-workers The SDS will be harder to understand than the MSDS

3. What Is the GHS? • Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals • Implemented through HazCom • Provides a universal approach • Includes new labels and SDSs • “Substance” and “mixture”

4. The Benefits of The GHS and SDS • Improved workplace safety • Fewer exposures • Consistent communications • Greater hazard awareness • Easier compliance • Enhanced human and environmental protection Valmont 2012

5. The Difference Between An SDS and an MSDS? • Organization • Information • Detail • Sections Valmont 2012

6. Hazard Determination Hazard Classification • “Classification” rather than simply determining a hazard effect (e.g., carcinogenicity) as well as how severe that effect might be (Category 1 or 2). • Chemical manufacturers and importers are responsible for the accuracy of the information regarding mixture classification.

32. Valmont Hazard Communication 29 CFR 1910.1200

33. Using Chemicals • Chemicals if not handled properly can lead to accidents, environmental incidents, injuries and even death. • Proper care must be used at all times to protect yourself, your co-workers as well as others every time a chemical is used

34. Where are Chemicals Encountered • Workplace • Applying pesticides or insecticides • Filling you vehicle with gasoline • In your home

35. Right to Know • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 (C) states: • Each employee who may be "exposed" to hazardous chemicals when working must be provided information and trained prior to initial assignment to work with a hazardous chemical, and whenever the hazard changes. "Exposure" or "exposed" under the rule means that "an employee is subjected to a hazardous chemical in the course of employment through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact or absorption, etc.) and includes potential (e.g., accidental or possible) exposure."

36. Right to Know • You have the Right to Know about the hazardous chemicals you use on the job and how to work safely with those chemicals

37. HazCom Standard Chemical manufactures must: • Determine a chemical’s hazards • Provide labels and MSDS’s or new SDS’s Employers must: • Provide a hazard communication progran • Maintain MSDS’s or new SDS’s • Train on hazardous materials

38. HazCom Standard (cont) Employees must: • Read labels and MSDS’s or new SDS’s • Follow employer instructions and warnings • Identify hazards before starting a job • Participate in training

39. HazCom Standard (cont) Employees must: • Read labels and MSDS’s or new SDS’s • Follow employer instructions and warnings • Identify hazards before starting a job • Participate in training

40. Chemical Hazards Physical Hazards: • Flammable • Explosive • Reactive Health Hazards: • Corrosive • Toxic

41. Routes of Entry • Skin and eye contact • Inhalation • Swallowing • Penetration (skin absorbtion)

42. Chemical Exposure • Dosage • Acute effects – Those effects that occur in under 30 days • Chronic effects – Those effect that appear over 30 days

43. Types of Personal Protective Equipment • Dust mask & respirators • Safety glasses, goggles & face shields • Hearing protection • Foot / hand protection • Head protection • Aprons or full-body suits

44. Types of Personal Protective Equipment • Dust mask & respirators • Safety glasses, goggles & face shields • Hearing protection • Foot / hand protection • Head protection • Aprons or full-body suits

45. Hazardous Material First Aid The type of first aid provided to the victim will be based on the type of chemical that is inhaled, swallowed, absorbed or that comes in contact with the skin. The MSDS or new SDS should be consulted immediately which is why it is important that all MSDS or new SDS sheets be readily available at all times for all employee’s, contractors, visitors, etc.

46. Spills and Leaks • Evacuate the area (upwind) • Notify Supervisor and/or the site Emergency Response Team. • Remove ignition source (if safe to do so) • Stay out of affected area until the all clear is given by site leadership.

47. MSDS Chemical Labeling Shows • The identity of chemical • Name, address, & phone number of the manufacturer • Physical and health hazards • Special handling instructions • Basic PPE recommendations • First Aid, fire response, spill clean up

48. SDS Chemical Labeling Shows • Product name / code • Supplier identification / contact information • Precautionary statements • Fire/first aid response • Pictograms • Signal words (ex. Danger) • Hazard statement • Supplemental information • Under new GHS implementation SDS container labeling is now required to be uniform regardless of the manufacturer.

49. NFPA / HMIS Labeling system • Based on a scale of 0 (No Hazard) to 4 (Extreme Hazard) • Blue = Health, • Red = Flammability • Yellow = Reactivity • White = Other hazards or special handling

50. GHS Labeling system • Based on Category Scale • Category 5 = Severe Hazard • Category 1 = Minimal Hazard • GHS labels include pictograms
