Hazcom 1994 + GHS
= Hazcom 2012
You Should Have an Existing Knowledge of Hazard Communication.
The following information is to supplement HAZCOM training to meet the requirements of the new HAZCOM – Global Harmonization System (GHS).
![Page 3: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hazcom 2012(Hazcom + GHS)
• Labeling of containers to be “pictograms” hazard warnings and signal words Significant requirements for manufacturers and suppliers to re-classification of chemicals
• User-friendly Safety Data Sheets (not MSDS) with a specific 16 part format
• TRAINING will be key requirement for contractors (end-users)
![Page 4: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hazcom 2012
• Compliance Dates
December 2013 - Train workers on labels and SDS
December 2015* - Comply with SDS requirements * Transition period – comply with either MSDS or SDS
June 2016 - Full compliance (revise written program)

Hazard Communication?
• A program developed, implemented and maintained by the employer that inform s employees of hazardous chemicals and the material safety data sheets required
![Page 6: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What Must Employers Do?Employers must give employees the information we need to handle products safely at our worksites every day.HazCom requires employers to follow these four steps:
• develop a chemical inventory,• develop a written HazCom program,• maintain labels and Safety Data Sheets, and• communicate hazard information to employees.
The employer must list all hazardous chemicals used, stored, or released in the workplace. The employer must give the list to workers on request.

Example: Flammable classification (by flashpoint)
Why GHS?
OSHA flashpoint = 0-100 degrees F
DOT flashpoint = 0-140 degrees F
EUflashpoint = 0-131 degrees F
GHSflashpoint = 0-140 degrees F
![Page 9: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
OSHA highly toxic = < 50
DOT highly toxic Group 1 = < 5 highly toxic Group 2 = > 5 < 50
EU very toxic = < 25
GHS 2 levels of highly toxic highly toxic ≤ 5 very toxic > 5 ≤ 50
• Example: acute oral toxicity LD50 (mg/kg)Why GHS?

Labels
• Employers must maintain labels for every hazardous product on the job.
Container labels tell:what is in the productany caution, warning, or dangersome minimal control methodProduct identifier – chemical identitySupplier identification – name, address etc.Precautionary statements – advice *Hazard pictograms – visual warning
• If you transfer a chemical to another container, the new container must be labeled, unless the quantity is just enough for one shift of work.
![Page 12: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

What Is an SDS?Safety Data Sheet
(formerly Material Safety Data Sheets – MSDS)
An SDS is an important part of the employer’s hazard communication (HazCom) system.
![Page 39: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Safety Data Sheetshazard communication
An SDS (safety data sheet):• provides information about a product used on the job
and• is required for every hazardous material used on the
job.
You have a right to request an SDS for any material You work with.
To get the right SDS, make sure the product identity or trade name appearing on the container label appears the same way on the MSDS.
![Page 40: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
SDShazard communication
SDSA safety data sheet is like a technical bulletin on hazardous chemicals.
A safety data sheet provides information about a product used on the job and can answer several important questions for you:
• what are the hazards?• how can you recognize if you are overexposed?• how can you protect yourself from the product?• how should fires or spills be handled?• what first aid should be given to an over exposed?
![Page 41: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
SDShazard communication
For example, you are heat welding a PVC membrane. Your eyes are watering.
• Wouldn’t it make you think, “Is heat welding this PVC membrane causing my eyes to water?” Or maybe “If this stuff can cause my eyes to water, what else might it do?”
• With an SDS for the PVC membrane, you can answer these questions.
![Page 42: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
• OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), and any other exposure limit used or recommended by the chemical manufacturer, importer, or employer preparing the safety data sheet, where available.
![Page 53: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
The PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL or OSHA PEL) is a legal limit in the United States for exposure of an employee to a chemical substance or physical agent.
A CEILING LIMIT is one that may not be exceeded for any period of time, exposure is usually limited a one time exposure of 15 minutes or less.
![Page 54: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• What Are PEL and Toxicity?A PEL of 1 ppm may be 1,000 times more toxic than a PEL of 1,000 ppm.A lower PEL usually means more harmful
![Page 55: Hazard Communication aka Right-to-Know Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Safety Data Sheets & Labeling Of Chemical Containers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d085503460f949d973c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
• Appropriate engineering controls (e.g., use local exhaust ventilation, put an enclosure around a hazard).
• Recommendations for personal protective measures to prevent illness or injury from exposure to chemicals, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g., appropriate types of eye, face, skin or respiratory protection needed based on hazards and potential exposure).
• Any special requirements for PPE, protective clothing or respirators (e.g., type of glove material, such as PVC or nitrile rubber gloves; and breakthrough time of the glove material).
Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury.

Section 11: Toxicological Information
• Information on the likely routes of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact). The SDS should indicate if the information is unknown.
• Description of the delayed, immediate, or chronic effects from short- and long-term exposure.
Formerly known as the Health Hazards Section
Chronic Effect: Adverse effect, symptoms that develop slowly, due to long and continuous exposure to low concentrations of a hazardous substance. Such symptoms do not usually subside when the exposure stops. Opposite of acute effect.
Acute Effect: Adverse effect, whereby severe symptoms develop rapidly and lead quckly to a health crisis. These symptoms often subside when the exposure stops.
