  9. GHS IMPLEMENTATION DATES Dec. 1, 2013 June 1, 2015 June 1, 2016 Dec. 1, 2015 • Manufacturers must update all container labels being distributed to GHS format Employers must train employees on the new label elements and safety data sheet (SDS) format • Manufacturers must reclassify chemicals per GHS requirements • Manufacturers must update all MSDS to SDS • Employers must have all MSDS replaced with SDS • Employers must update all in-house secondary container labels to meet GHS requirements

  10. Overview • What is Global Harmonized System (GHS) • Written Program • Container Labeling • Signal Words • Hazard Statement • Precautionary Statement • Identifications • Pictograms • Sample Label • Secondary Labeling • Safety Data Sheets • 16 Elements • Key Terms & definitions • Summary Key Elements of Written HAZCOM Program A COPY OF THE COMPANY WRITTEN HAZCOM PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO REVIEW IN OUR OFFICE • Chemical inventory list of all chemicals used in the workplace. Updated when new chemicals are obtained. • Obtaining Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals within our inventory. • Method for ensuring all chemicals are labeled. • Employee training requirements.

  12. Overview • What is Global Harmonized System (GHS) • Written Program • Container Labeling • Signal Words • Hazard Statement • Precautionary Statement • Identifications • Pictograms • Sample Label • Secondary Labeling • Safety Data Sheets • 16 Elements • Key Terms & definitions • Summary Primary vs. Secondary Labels • Primary Labels come from manufacturer. • GHS now mandates how these primary labels must appear. • Secondary Labels used when roofer places chemical into a smaller “secondary” container. • Examples include: • gasoline cans • spray bottles filled with membrane cleaner • bucket full of paint • Etc. Secondary Labels must provide the same level of information to employees as primary labels. Best practice is to replicate the shipping primary labels.

Overview • What is Global Harmonized System (GHS) • Written Program • Container Labeling • Signal Words • Hazard Statement • Precautionary Statement • Identifications • Pictograms • Sample Label • Secondary Labeling • Safety Data Sheets • 16 Elements • Key Terms & definitions • Summary Labels: Signal Word • Used to indicate the severity of the hazard and alert employees to the potential hazard. • Only 2 signal words will appear: • “DANGER”(more severe hazard) • “WARNING” (less severe hazard) • Not all labels will have a signal word. Some chemicals are not hazardous enough to require that a signal word appear on the label.
