  1. Identification • Hazard(s) Identification • Information on Ingredients • First Aid Measures • Fire-Fighting Measures • Accidental Release Information • Handling & Storage • Exposure Controls/PPE 9. Physical & Chemical Properties 10. Stability & Reactivity 11. Toxicological & Health Effects 12. Ecological Information 13. Disposal Considerations 14. Transport Information 15. Regulatory Information 16. Other Information

  2. Employer must have an SDS for every hazardous substance you use as part of your job. • If you request to see a copy of an SDS for a product you use, and your employer cannot provide it after one working day, you may refuse to use that product or work in an area where it is being used. • These SDSs must be available to you the entire time you are in the workplace. • If you request your own personal copy of an SDS, your employer has 15 days to provide it.

  3. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Diamonds • HMIS (Hazardous Materials Identification Systems) Labeling • Uniform Hazard Signage System

  4. Color coded, numerical rating system • Will be located in section 16 under “other information” • Provide at-a-glance hazard information

  5. Blue = Health • Red = Flammability • Yellow = Instability • White= Special Hazard Information

  6. 4 = Deadly Hazard • 3 = Severe Hazard • 2 = Moderate Hazard • 1 = Slight Hazard • 0 = No Hazard

  7. Designed to go on individual containers of products that don’t have the manufacturer’s labels • Same color code/numerical rating system as the NFPA diamonds In the interest of safety, if a product no longer bears the label and warnings of the manufacturer, we require that the product be discarded rather than relabeled.

  8. Blue = Health • Red = Flammability • Yellow = Instability • White= Personal Protective Equipment or Special protection information Uses same numerical rating of 0-4

  9. You should never have any unlabeled containers in your workplace! This includes ALL containers, even those THOUGHT to contain consumable liquids!

  10. Located on chemical warning labels. • Pictographs depict worst hazards present in chemical. • GHS stands for Globally Harmonized System

  11. .Always check with the appropriate personnel (maintenance manager, safety manager, supervisor, etc.) before performing work or maintenance with an unfamiliar chemical!

  12. Pictogram • Signal Word • Hazard & Precautions • Product Identifier • Supplier Information

  13. Training is required: • Within the first 30 days of employment • Whenever new hazards are introduced • Annually

  14. Training must cover: • Requirements of regulations • Location and availability of SDSs • Hazardous chemicals used in the workplace • Method to detect release • Physical and health hazards • Measures for personal protection • Details and location of the written plan

  15. You should have a copy of an updated (current) written Hazard Communication plan. This plan is to be used to train management on the standard, as well as employees. All training must be documented. All employees must have this training, including new hire, existing employees and all management staff. Note: Subcontractors, vendors and regular visitors should also be made aware of your program, and those contractors regularly present on the property must receive training. Oklahoma State University

  16. Part of the Written Plan is that the employee notify their supervisor should they be exposed to a potentially hazardous chemical in the workplace. The supervisor should immediately refer the employee for a medical evaluation and treatment, if necessary.

  17. Federal law requires an inventory of all chemicals at the location, and that it be updated at least annually. In order to be effective, the inventory list should be updated whenever a new chemical is introduced into the workplace. A regular method of identifying random chemicals and checking for their documented presence should be implelented.

  18. This list is used to determine correct signage for chemicals stored, and is made available to the fire department for their use during emergencies.

  19. Information on the new HAZCOM regulations and standards can be found on the Keolis Safety Resource Center.
