GHS HazCom Training
Today’s Session Employee Education and Training
Revised OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
Due Dec. 1, 2013 Background
March 20, 2012: OSHA issues final rule
GHS revisions to Hazard Communication Standard
GHS HazCom Training
Background OSHA HCS Governs:
Chemicals MSDSs Labels Employee education and training
Purpose: Avoid chemical injury and illnesses
GHS HazCom Training
Background 1985: OSHA issues HCS
Labeling, MSDS for hazardous chemicals 2001: Globally Harmonized System
of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
UN members agree to adopt GHS by 2008
2012: GHS Revisions to HCS
GHS Rev’s to OSHA HCSOverview What remains the same under GHS
Rev’s? Basic structure
Manufacturers: Classify chemicals and provide SDS, labels to downstream customers
Distributors: Pass SDS and labels downstream
Employers: Employee education and training
Avoid chemical injuries and illnesses
GHS Rev’s to OSHA HCSOverview What’s changed? Tactics. Classification of hazards
(Manufacturer) SDS: redraft to comport with new
format, pictograms, etc. (Manufacturer)
Labeling (Manufacturer) More prescriptive, uniform language Pictograms
GHS Rev’s to OSHA HCS
Implications for Cleaning industry Chemical Manufacturers Distributors Cleaning Service Providers
GHS Rev’s to OSHA HCS
Implications for Chemical Manufacturers
Obligations that run to downstream customers Re-classify products Re-draft SDSs Re-do labels June 1, 2015
GHS Rev’s to OSHA HCS
Implications for Distributors Obligations that run to downstream
customers Send new GHS SDS (June 1, 2015) Ship products with new GHS labels (Dec.

Permissible to comply earlier
GHS HazCom Training
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Formerly MSDS
New 16 section uniform format Effective June 1, 2015 Permissible to comply earlier
GHS Rev’s to OSHA HCS
Workers may see GHS labels, SDS soon…
OSHA requires employee training New label elements New SDS format Dec. 1, 2013 Ensure workers have info to protect
themselves Understand GHS labels and SDS
New Labeling Elements
Product identifier Signal word Hazard statement Pictograms Precautionary statement(s) Name, address, telephone number of
manufacturer or other responsible party
New Labeling Elements
Signal wordHazard statementPictograms Harmonized label elements
Based on hazard class and hazard category
In general, manufacturer has no discretion
New Labeling Elements
Product identifier Name of product Same as on SDS
Signal word Indicates severity of hazard Danger: more severe hazards Warning: less severe hazards Only one signal word on the label Not all hazards have signal words
New Labeling Elements
Hazard statement Describes the nature of the hazard “Causes skin irritation” “Flammable liquid and vapor” All applicable hazard statements must
be on label Uniform (mandatory Appendix C)
New Labeling Elements
Pictograms Images that communicates the hazard Square on point Black hazard symbol White background Red border Red border minus hazard symbol NOT
allowed
Pictograms
Skin corrosion, burns
Eye damage Corrosive to
metals
Pictograms
Flammable Pyrophorics Self-heating Emits flammable
gas Self-reactive Organic
peroxides
Pictograms
Oxidizer
Gases under pressure
Pictograms
Carcinogen Mutagenicity Reproductive
toxicity Respiratory
Sensitizer Target organ
toxicity Aspiration toxicity
Pictograms
Explosives Self-reactives Organic
peroxides
Acute toxicity (fatal or toxic)
Pictograms Irritant (skin, eye) Skin sensitizer Acute toxicity Narcotic effects Respiratory tract irritant Hazardous to ozone
layer
Aquatic toxicity Non-mandatory
New Labeling Elements
Precautionary Statements Recommended measures to prevent or
minimize adverse effects from exposure , improper storage or handling
What to do to prevent harmful exposure ▪ Wash thoroughly after handling▪ Wear protective gloves
What to do if there is harmful exposure▪ If eye irritation persists, get medical advice
New Labeling Elements
Name, address, telephone number of manufacturer or other responsible party
Address City and state sufficient
Telephone number New requirement
New Labeling Elements
XYZ Cleaner
Product Identifier
XYZ Manufacturing Co.Chicago, IL312.123.4567
Manufacturer
Warning
Signal Word
Causes serious eye irritation
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear eye protection. Store in a cool dry place. First AidIf in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: get medical attention.

Precautionary Statement
New Labeling Elements
Make sure employees know… How to go from label to SDS How to use label to ▪ Properly store product▪ Work with product safely▪ Avoid harmful exposure
What to do in event of harmful exposure Where product has multiple hazards
Multiple pictograms, hazard statements
New SDS Format
Standardized 16-section format SDS must be presented in a
consistent order Sec. 1: Identification▪ Product identifier used on label▪ Recommended use of the chemical▪ Name, address and telephone number of
manufacturer, importer or other responsible party▪ Emergency phone number
New SDS Format
Standardized 16-section format Sec. 2: Hazard identification▪ Hazard class, and category (i.e., flammable
liquid, category 4)▪ Label elements:▪ Signal word (i.e., Warning)▪ Hazard statement (i.e., combustible liquid)▪ Pictograms (none for flammable liquid, cat. 4)▪ Precautionary statement▪ Consistent with label / “Heart” of SDS
New SDS Format
Standardized 16-section format Sec. 3: Composition/information on
ingredients▪ Information on chemical ingredients, trade
secrets Sec. 4: First-aid measures▪ Description of measures based on route of
exposure▪ Immediate medical treatment
Sec. 5: Fire fighting measures▪ Suitable and unsuitable extinguishing media▪ Special hazards presented by the chemical in
fire
New SDS Format Standardized 16-section format
Sec. 6: Accidental release measures▪ Personal precautions, emergency procedures
Sec. 7: Handling and storage▪ Precautions for safe handling and storage▪ Any incompatibilities
Sec. 8: Exposure controls / personal protection▪ OSHA PELs, TLVs▪ Appropriate engineering controls (ventilation▪ PPE
New SDS Format
Standardized 16-section format Sec. 9: Physical and chemical properties▪ Appearance, pH, odor, flash point, vapor
pressure, etc. Sec. 10: Stability and reactivity▪ Chemical stability, possibility of hazardous
reactions▪ Conditions to avoid, incompatible materials
Sec. 11: Toxicological information▪ Routes of exposure, related symptoms, acute
and chronic effects
New SDS Format
Standardized 16-section format SDS must contain sections 12-15, but… OSHA will not enforce the content for
these Sections Sec. 12: Ecological information Sec. 13: Disposal considerations Sec. 14: Transportation information Sec. 15: Regulatory information Sec. 16: Date of preparation, last revision
