10/22/2013
• HazCom 1994
• All hazards to be evaluated.
• Comprehensive communication program to transmit information.
• Preempt state laws.
14
HazCom 2012
•All hazards to be classified.
•Other provisions the same.
•Language regarding preemption was clarified.

HazCom 1994
Includes specific definitions for terms used in the standard, as well as all physical hazards.
15
HazCom 2012
Physical hazard definitions removed from paragraph (C), and placed in a new Appendix B on physical
hazard classification criteria.
Terms deleted include:Flashpoint, Hazard Warning, MSDS.
10/22/2013
HazCom 1994
Performance-oriented• Definitions in paragraph
(c), Appendices A and B
• Appendix B—parameters for evaluating data
• “Floor” of chemicals considered hazardous
• Standardized mixture cut-off rules
16
HazCom 2012
Specific and detailedConcept of “classification”
• Each hazard class has detailed criteria to apply to data on the chemical
• No floor; based on weight of evidence
• Mixture rules are specific to each hazard class

Labels Overview
11/12/2013
HAZCOM 1994 HazCom 2012
• Shipped containers to be labeled with identity, appropriate hazard warnings, and responsible party.
• Performance-oriented, specifics left to discretion of chemical mfg. or importer.
• Shipped containers to be labeled with product identifier; signal word; hazard statement; pictograms; precautionary statements.
• Specifies info by hazard class and category.
18
10/22/2013
• Product identifier
• Signal word
• Hazard statement(s)
• Pictogram(s)
• Precautionary statement(s)
• Name, address, and phone number of the responsible party

Effective June 1, 2015 all shipping labels will be required to have all GHS label elements.
Shipping Labels

Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s.(contains XYZ)UN 1992
Shipping Container Label (55 gallon/200 liter drum)
Pictograms within DOT label
10/22/2013
• DOT labels may take precedence over similar GHS pictograms for shipping containers.
• DOT does not have labels that correspond to the “Health Hazard” or the “Acute Toxicity” (less severe = exclamation mark).

10/22/2013 23
• Note for explosives, the * symbol is to be replaced by the indication of compatibility
group or to be left blank if explosive is the subsidiary risk
Note: symbol, number, and
border can be black or white
10/22/2013 24
• Note for explosives, the * symbol is to be replaced by the indication of compatibility
group or to be left blank if explosive is the subsidiary risk

• OSHA is requiring red borders regardless of the shipment’s destination.
• The red borders increase comprehensibility.
• Blank red diamonds are not permitted on a label.
10/22/2013 27
These are words 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.
10/22/2013 28
There are specific hazard statements that must appear on the label based on the chemical hazard classification.
Examples:• Flammable liquid and vapor• Causes skin irritation• May cause cancer
10/22/2013 29
• "Precautionary statement" means a phrase that describes recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical, or improper storage or handling.
• Precautionary statements can be found in Appendix C.

Secondary Containment Labels
• Consistent with the revised HazCom standard.
• No conflicting hazard warnings or pictograms.
• May use written materials (e.g., signs, placards, etc.) in lieu of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers.
• Employer can use GHS compliant labels (same as shipping).
