HazCom 2012 - GHS Update For Supervisors, Safety Committee Members, Employees

1. HazCom 2012 - GHS UpdateFor Supervisors, Safety Committee Members, Employees Local Roads Project WorkSAFE Dec 3, 2013

2. Agenda • Review of the HazCom Std (HCS) • Background of update • Review of Update – HazCom2012 • Updates / Changes identified by • NEW! • Questions / Discussion

3. Standard in place since 1983 Hazard Communication Review

4. Steps in the HazCom Process • Chemical manufacturers /importers classify and categorize the chemicals they produce according to specific criteria that describe the chemical’s health, physical, and other hazards • Manufacturers / importers use this classification and category to determine the standardized information they must provide on (NEW!)labels and in safety data sheets (SDS) (NEW! formally MSDS)

5. HazCom steps # 2 • Workplace purchases hazardous chemical products from manufacturer/distributor/importer • Each shipped container of hazardous chemical must have a (NEW!) label and include an (NEW!) SDS that classifies the chemical and provides specific information about hazards • The employer assigns responsibilities for all the elements of the written hazard communication program

6. HazCom steps # 3 • The employer must prepare a written hazard communication program that: • Lists all the hazardous chemicals that employees may be exposed to at work, using product identifiers that are cross-referenced to the label and the SDS • Describes how the workplace will use the program, the SDSs (NEW!), the labels (NEW!), and training(revised) to keep employees safe

7. HazCom Steps # 4 • The employer assigns responsibilities for all the elements of the hazard communication plan • Employer ensures the written program is maintained and updated as needed

8. Existing Required Training for employees Explanation of the HazCom program, including information on labels, MSDSs, and how to obtain and use available hazard information Hazards of chemicals Protective measures such as engineering controls, work practices, and the use of PPE How to detect the presence or release of a hazardous chemical using monitoring devices observation smell 8

9. Written Hazard Communication Program summary • Written HazCom Program • Administrator • List of MSDS • MSDS accessible • Training for Exposed Employees • Before first exposure • Before the introduction of new hazards • Update to hazard information

10. GHS and Hazcom2012background

11. Why is the GHS needed? • No country has the ability to identify and specifically regulate every hazardous chemical product • 650,000 such products in US • Adoption of GHS helps address protection needs

12. Background • The GHS was adopted by the United Nations in 2002 • Original implementation date for the US was 2008 • OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to update the hazard communication standard in September 2009 • Held public hearings in March of 2010 • Final rule made the Federal Registry March 26, 2012

15. Benefits to GHS • Maintain Consistency • Increase quality of information • Reduce trade barriers • Reduce confusion • Increase comprehension of hazards • Reduce fatalities and injuries • 43 fatalities/year • 585 injuries/year • Help address literacy issues

16. NEW! GHS Update to Hazcom 2012

17. NEW! 2012 Update to HazCom Std • GHS = Globally Harmonized System • MSDS => SDS (Safety Data Sheets) • SDS Now Standardized • 16 sections • Info always in same section • New labeling requirements for Manufacture and Employer • Pictograms • Hazard statement • Signal word

18. Definitions NEW! • Contact info the Chemical Manufacture, Distributor, or Importer • Name • Address • Phone Number • Must be on Label • Must be on SDS - section 1

19. NEW! Definitions • Hazard Statement (HS) • Describes the nature of the hazard • Degree of hazard • All applicable hazards • May be combined to improve readability • HS are specific to the hazard class and categories • The idea is - Users should see • Same hazard statement for the same hazard • Regardless of producer or supplier of chemical

20. NEW! Definitions • Pictogram • Square shape set on a point • Black hazard symbol • White background • Red Boarder/Frame • 8 designated pictograms

21. NEW! Definitions • Precautionary Statement • Phrase that describes the recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects • From exposure to • Improper storage • Improper handling

22. NEW! Definitions • Product Identifier (PI) • Chem name, or Code #, or Batch # • Producer decides on appropriate PI • Same PI must be on Label & Sect 1 of SDS

23. NEW! Definitions • Signal Word • Indicates the relative level of severity of the hazard • 2 Signal Words • Danger • More severe hazards • Warning • Less severe hazards • Only 1 signal word on label

24. Hazard Classification done by manufacture/importer/distributor of Chemical Each type of hazard covered is considered a “hazard class”— examples acute toxicity, carcinogenicity Most hazard classes are also sub-divided into “hazard categories” to reflect the degree of severity Concept of “classification”— Manufacture determines that there is a hazardous effect and how severe that effect might be Example is the severity a Category 1, 2,3, or 4 NEW!

25. Hazard Classification: Classification Provisions Chemical manufacturers and importers must classify each chemical they produce or import: Determine the appropriate hazard classes and associated hazard categories Based on an evaluation of the full range of available data/evidence for the chemical (no testing is required) Appendix A of Standard for health hazard criteria Introduction to App A provides the general approach to classification Appendix B of Standard for physical hazard criteria NEW!

26. Classification by Chemical manufacture A single consistent hazard statement for each level of hazard within each hazard class Example: For the Flammable Liquids Class NEW!

27. NEW! GHS classification ratings order of severity is reversed from NFPA and HMIS: HMIS/NFPA 0 = Least Hazardous 4 = Most Hazardous GHS 5 = Least Hazardous 1 = Most Hazardous It is my believe that this should not be a problem for most employers, since the chemical manufacture is determining the hazard class and using that information in the SDS and on the new label PPT-016-04 36

28. NEW! SDS information: SAFETY DATA SHEETS – 16 sections: • Section 1 - Identification • product identifier • manufacturer /distributor name • address, phone number; emergency phone number • recommended use • restrictions on use • Section 2 - Hazard(s) Identification • all hazards regarding the chemical • required label elements

29. SDS information: Section 3 - Composition information on ingredients chemical ingredients trade secret claims Section 4 - First-aid Measures Important symptoms Effects – acute - delayed Required treatment NEW!

31. SDS Information continued NEW! • Section 7 - Handling & Storage • precautions for safe handling and storage • including incompatibilities • Section 8 - Exposure controls / PPE • OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) • Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) • appropriate engineering controls • personal protective equipment (PPE) • Section 9 - Physical & Chemical properties • the chemical's characteristics….

32. SDS Information continued: NEW! • Section 10 - Stability & Reactivity • chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reactions • Section 11 - Toxicological information • routes of exposure • related symptoms • acute and chronic effects • numerical measures of toxicity • Section 12 - Ecological information* non-mandatory for OSHA • Section 13 - Disposal considerations* “ “ “ • Section 14 - Transport information* “ “ “ • Section 15 - Regulatory information* “ “ “ • Section 16 - Other information • date of preparation or last revision
