Changes to Materials Data

Safety Sheets (MSDS)

Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of

Classification and Labeling of Chemicals

Training Program

Gwinnett Hospital System Right-to-Know Training

Objectives

After you finish the first section of this

Computer-Based Learning (CBL) module, you

should be able to:

Define Globally Harmonized System.

Describe the purpose and benefits of the

Globally Harmonized System.

HAZCOM, Employee Right-to-Know

Created by the Occupational Safety & Health

Administration (OSHA), the Hazard

Communication Standard (HAZCOM) and the

Employee Right-to-Know Program require

that:

The hazards of all chemicals in the workplace

are evaluated, and

The information is shared with employees.

The Globally Harmonized System

The Globally Harmonized System (GHS),

created by OSHA, is:

A new, international standard of classifying and

labeling chemicals, and is

Included in HAZCOM.

Globally Harmonized System

When GHS Takes Effect

Below are the effective dates for the Globally

Harmonized System (GHS):

Action Effective Date

Employee training Dec. 1, 2013

Revised HAZCOM program Jan. 1, 2015

All Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

changed to Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Dec. 1, 2015

Any additional physical or health hazards

identified by new labels or SDS for chemicals

will require employee training, changes to

workplace labeling, and HAZCOM updates. June 1, 2016

Safety Data Sheets

(SDS)

Safety Data Sheets

Objectives

After you finish the Safety Data Sheets section

of this CBL, you should be able to describe:

The change from Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDS) to the new Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

The newly required Globally Harmonized System

(GHS) system of:

Labeling,

Pictograms, and

Hazard statements.

Safety Data Sheets

Purpose

The new Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and

Globally Harmonized System (GHS) are

designed to:

Make the format of the data sheets the same

worldwide,

Create a standard way of communicating

hazards, and

Make the SDSs easier to read and understand.

Safety Data Sheets

What’s New?

The SDS contains16 separate sections in a

exact order.

Each section has its own heading.

Container Labeling

Container Labeling

Objectives

After you finish the Safety Data Sheets section

of this CBL, you should be able to:

Describe how to use a container label to identify

a product and its hazards.

Describe actions to protect yourself from

chemical exposure and spills.

Express your rights to be informed and to

understand chemical hazards in your workplace.

Container Labeling

Purpose

Reasons for the changes in container labeling

include:

To make the format of labels worldwide the same

(to “harmonize” them).

To provide a standard way of telling readers

about hazards.

To create quick access to hazard information.

To make the labels easier to understand.

Container Labeling Requirements

Labels for hazardous chemical containers must

include:

Product identifier

Signal word

Hazard statement

Precautionary statement

Pictogram

Name, address and telephone number

Container Labeling

Product Identifier

The product identifier tells readers how the

hazardous chemical is identified:

By chemical name, trade name, etc.

The product identifier must be the same on

the label as in Section 1 of the SDS.

Tricoat 235 Sealant

Danger! Toxic If Swallowed

Flammable Liquid and Vapor

Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s.

(contains toluene)

Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product. Keep container tightly closed.

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame. - No smoking. Wear protective gloves and

eye/face protection. Ground container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof

electrical equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Store in well-ventilated place

IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CONTROL CENTER or doctor/physician.

Product identifier: How the chemical is identified.

Container Labeling

Signal Word

The signal word:

Alerts reader to a potential hazard, and

Indicates the relative level of severity of hazard.

There are only two signal words:

“Danger”: used for more severe hazards, or

“Warning”: used for less severe hazards.

Only one signal word appears on the label.

If a substance contains both a “Danger” chemical

and a “Warning” chemical, only “Danger”

appears on the label.

Tricoat 235 Sealant




(contains toluene)






Rinse mouth.




Signal word: “Danger" or “Warning“

Container Labeling

Hazard Statement

The hazard statement tells readers about

hazards of a chemical and the degree of the

hazard.

Example: “Causes damage to kidneys through

prolonged exposure when absorbed through the

skin.”

If a hazard statements applies to the

chemical, it must appear on the container

label.

Hazard statements may be combined to make

them easier to read.

Hazard statements are specific to the hazard

classification categories.

Readers should always see the same statement

for the same hazard, no matter what the

chemical is or who produces it.

Container Labeling

Hazard Statement, continued

Tricoat 235 Sealant




(contains toluene)






Rinse mouth.




Hazard statement: Assigned to a hazard class and category that

describes the hazard of a chemical and, where appropriate, the

degree of hazard.

Container Labeling

Precautionary Statements

The precautionary statement is a phrase that tells

readers about ways to prevent unwanted effects, or

reduce them as much as possible, from:

Exposure to a chemical, or

Improper storage or handling.

When there is more than one precautionary

statement for a chemical, the label includes only the

statement that provides the most protection against

undesired effects.

Precautionary statements must be the same on the

label as in the SDS.

Precautionary statement: Measures to minimize or prevent adverse

effects from exposure, improper storage or handling of a hazardous
