Slide 6

Goals of Training DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 6 Name two laws that protect an employees right-to-know about hazardous materials in the workplace. Name two primary methods used to communicate chemical. Name two ways chemicals, in general, can cause injury to the body. Where can I find if a product I am handling can cause an increased risk of pregnancy loss or potentially cause cancer? Where can I find the type of gloves I should be using? Who can help me get more information about the chemicals I work with?

Slide 7

DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 7 Global Harmonization Standard Revising OSHA's Hazard Communication standard will improve the quality and consistency of hazard information, making it safer for workers to do their jobs and easier for employers to stay competitive.

Slide 10

Things that havent changed: DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 10 Chemicals can only cause health effects when they come into contact with your body. Routes of Entry Skin contact (absorption through the skin or damage on contact to skin or eyes) Inhalation Ingestion Injection

Slide 11

Skin Contact DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 11 Skin irritation or injury Skin absorption (some things are absorbed through the skin)

Slide 18

Common Sense: Rules Around Chemicals DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 18 Respect fire hazard and be prepared to respond to fires, spills, and other emergencies! Understand the hazards associated with the chemicals. Understand the personal protective equipment (PPE) that you need, and all safety procedures. Use the smallest quantity of the least hazardous chemicals possible.

Slide 19

More Common Sense Rules DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 19 When dealing with dust, use wet methods when you can. Wash after chemical use. Dont eat or drink around hazardous chemicals. Remove protective clothing and equipment when you have finished the job.

Slide 20

Common Sense DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 20 Dont mix different chemicals without authorization. Dont super-concentrate chemicals that the manufacturer intended to have diluted. More is not necessarily better.

Slide 21

Planning for Chemical Use DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 21 Engineering Controls Do we need this chemical? Can we isolate the chemical from the people? Work Practice Controls Can we minimize the ways it can impact a workers body? Administrative Controls Can we limit exposure to certain areas, time periods? Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Gloves, goggles, respirators, moon suits, etc.

Slide 22

How are hazards communicated? DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 22 Two important tools to supplement supervisor's orientation about hazardous materials in the workplace: Labels Safety Data Sheets

Slide 23

Labels: Standardized Form and Language DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 23 Symbol pictogram Signal Word Danger (more significant) Warning Standard hazard statement

Slide 26

Pictograms DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 26 Black and white pictures with a red diamond border. Pictures generally give a clue as to hazard. If a number appears, the smaller the number, the greater the hazard!

Slide 27

HMIS & NFPA Diamond DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 27 0 means almost no hazard 4 means extreme danger

Slide 28

New GHS Pictograms DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 28 If there is a number with GHS, the bigger the number the lesser the hazard! Opposite direction from NFPA

Slide 29

DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 29 Carcinogens cause cancer. Mutagens cause harm to fetuses. Reproductive toxins cause problems in pregnancy and/or getting pregnant (men and women). Respiratory Sensitizer means you may have a heightened reaction on second exposure. Target organ is the organ that is most effected. Aspiration toxic means it irritates or harms when you inhale the liquid or solid.

Slide 30

DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 30 Flammable means vapors burn. Pyrophorics will ignite spontaneously when exposed to air. Organic peroxides can sometimes form explosive compounds by themselves. Self igniters/heaters get warm over time with access to air.

Slide 31

DRAFT GHS General Program, SUNY OCF, 12/19/12 31 Irritants irritate. Sensitizers cause more severe second-exposure reactions. Acute short term Chronic long term
