1. OSHA Hazard Communication Standard Update:Globally Harmonized Systemof Classification and Labeling (GHS) https://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html

2. Introduction/Background • OSHA = Occupational Safety and Health Administration • HCS = Hazard Communication Standard • GHS = Globally Harmonized System • Changes • Use of new labeling elements • Standardized Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format (formerly Material Safety Data Sheets)

3. Myths • The GHS affects only pesticides • GHS is regulated under FIFRA and FDACS GHS addresses all hazardous substances GHS is regulated under OSHA

4. What is the GHS? • The first compliance date of the revised HCS is December 1, 2013

5. Benefits of GHS • Enhances protection of humans and environment • Standardizes PPE and other protections for employees across all countries that adopt the GHS • Reduces need for testing and evaluation

6. Effective Dates

7. The GHS Elements • Chemicals will be classified using a harmonized system that provides standardized language for: • Health and Environmental Hazards (10) • Physical Hazards (17) • Mixtures • Environmental Hazards (EPA regulates this, not OSHA) • Hazard Communication • Labels • Safety Data Sheets

8. 10 Health Hazards • Acute Toxicity • Skin Corrosion/Irritation • Respiratory or Skin Sensitization • Germ Cell Mutagenicity • Carcinogenicity • Reproductive Toxicity • Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single Exposure • Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure • Aspiration • Simple Asphyxiants

9. 17 Physical Hazards Self-heating Chemicals Chemicals, which in contact with water, emit flammable gases Oxidizing Liquids Oxidizing Solid Organic Peroxides Corrosive to Metals Combustible Dusts • Explosives • Flammable Aerosols • Oxidizing Gases • Gases under Pressure • Flammable Liquids • Flammable Solids • Self-Reactive Chemicals • Pyrophoric Liquids • Pyrophoric Solids • Pyrophoric Gases

10. Labels * * *

11. Labels – EPA Toxicity Categories Signal words are based on acute oral toxicity EPA also uses data from: acute dermal, acute inhalation and primary eye irritation and primary skin irritation to determine toxicity

12. Labels – GHS categories

13. New Labels

14. 9 Pictograms for Labels • Required as of June 1, 2015 • Pictograms consist of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border • Pictograms on labels are determined by the chemical hazard classification(s)

15. 9 Pictograms for Labels

16. 9 Pictograms for Labels

17. 9 Pictograms for Labels EPA’s responsibility

18. Pictograms Physical Hazards

19. Pictogram Corrosion

20. Pictograms: Health Chronic/target organ Acute toxicity

22. Labels

23. Using Labels in the Workplace • Storage of chemicals

24. Using Labels in the Workplace • First aid

25. Using Labels in the Workplace • A chemical may have multiple hazards • When there are similar precautionary statements on a label, the one providing the most protective information will be included on the label

27. Safety Data Sheets • Under the new Haz Com Standard, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are now called Safety Data Sheets (SDS) • All SDSs will have a consistent 16-section format • Employers must ensure that SDSs are readily accessible to employees

28. Safety Data Sheets • These are the 16 sections on the new Safety Data Sheets • The next 2 slides list the titles of the required sections

29. Safety Data Sheets • Section 1 (Identification) • Section 2 (Hazards Identification) • Section 3 (Composition/Ingredients) • Section 4 (First-aid Measures) • Section 5 (Firefighting Measures) • Section 6 (Accidental Release Measures) • Section 7 (Handling and Storage) • Section 8 (Exposure Control and Personal Protection)

30. Safety Data Sheets • Section 9 (Physical and Chemical Properties) • Section 10 (Stability and Reactivity) • Section 11 (Toxicological Information) • Section 12 (Ecological Information) • Section 13 (Disposal Considerations) • Section 14 (Transport Information) • Section 15 (Regulatory Information) • Section 16 (Other Information) } 12,13,15 – EPA 14 - DOT
