Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemical - GHS

An Internationally common, coherent approach to classifying and communicating chemical hazards

*What is GHS?UN system developed to standardize the classification of chemicals and communication of hazards.Revised every 2 years. Also known as the Purple Book. GHS (Rev.3) (2009) UNECE.Already adopted in Europe and many other countries (China, Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, etc.).GHS framework uses a building block approach:countries implement standardized elements they want still have minor variations, but much less than in the pastIntended to facilitate international trade and improve the quality and consistency of hazard information provided.

GHSHarmonizes classification, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and labeling

Not a model regulation contains criteria and textSpecification versus Performance Oriented Approach

Created as a building-block approach Each competent authority adopts those provisions applicable to sphere of regulation or need

Covers physical, health and environmental hazardsOSHA Standard Maintains current exceptions to coverageBiological AgentsRadioactive elementsConsumer ProductsHazardous WasteEtc..

OSHAs 1983 final HCS included recognition of the importance of international harmonization of such requirements, and a commitment to work towards an international approachThe Agency:Supported adoption of the international mandate to develop the GHS;Helped to negotiate the provisions of the GHS; andLeads the current US delegation to the United Nations Committee and Subcommittee on the GHSOSHA and the GHS

ModifiedHazard Communication Standard(HazComm 2012)

OSHA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) on September 12, 2006The ANPR described OSHAs plan to apply the GHS to the HCS; comments were received from over 100 respondentsOSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking on September 29, 2009, that provided a preamble explanation, as well as the text of the proposed modificationsRulemaking History

The NPRM established a 90-day period for written commentsPublic hearings were convened in Washington, DC, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to receive oral testimonyA period for post-hearing comments and briefs was established by the Administrative Law JudgeWhen the public record was completed, OSHA prepared the final rule based on the record, along with various analyses required for such standardsThe final rule was published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2012 (77 FR 17574 17896)The rule will be in effect 60 days later: May 25, 2012Rulemaking History, cont.

The primary purpose of the HCS is to reduce chemical source illnesses and injuriesSince the HCS was promulgated in 1983, acute illnesses and injuries from chemicals have decreased 42%However, there is still a critical need for effective information to protect exposed workers from chemicalsparticularly from chronic effectsWhy Adopt the GHS?

A key part of the new approach is increased comprehensibility due to the standardized or harmonized approach to information disseminationStandardized Information includes:SDSLabelsWhy Adopt the GHS, cont.

Enhance worker comprehension of hazards, especially for low and limited-literacy workers, reduce confusion in the workplace, facilitate safety training, result in safer handling and use of chemicals;Provide workers quicker and more efficient access to information on the safety data sheets; (emergency sections are always #4, 5, 6)Result in cost savings to American businesses in productivity improvements, fewer safety data sheet and label updates and simpler new hazard communication training; andReduce trade barriers by harmonizing with systems around the world.

Benefits

Whats the Impact?Rule will impact over 5 million workplaces, and 43 million workers650,000 Chemicals used in the USAAnnualized savings for employers of between $585 mil and $798 milMost of this through increased productivity for H&S managers and logistics personnelExpect 500+ workplace injuries and 43 fatalities to be prevented annually as a result of changeSavings attributed to uniform SDSs and labels accounts for between $16 mil and $32.2 mil

*Penalties for non-compliance are very real

In 2009 & 2010 combined, OSHA cited over 13,000 instances of HCS violations in workplaces across the United States

#3 on OSHA's top 10 list of most frequently violated compliance standards

Major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard

Hazard classification: Provides specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures. Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided. Safety Data Sheets: Will now have a specified 16-section format. Information and training: Employers are required to train workers by December 1, 2013 on the new labels elements and safety data sheets format to facilitate recognition and understanding.

Principles & AssumptionsOSHA has modified only the provisions of the HCS that must be changed to align with the GHSThe basic framework of the HCS remains the sameChemical manufacturers and importers are responsible for providing information about the identities and hazards of chemicals they produce or importAll employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are still required to have a hazard communication program, and provide information to employees about their hazards and associated protective measuresOSHA has maintained or enhanced the overall current level of protection of the HCS

Principles & Assumptions, cont.Other aspects of the standard have minimal modifications in terminology to make them consistent with GHS.The scope and application is basically unchanged, maintaining practical accommodations made by OSHA Written hazard communication program requirements, worker training, and trade secret provisions are all largely unchanged from the existing rule

Maintain consistency with major trading partners where possible

Revise other OSHA standards that will be affected by the changes to the HCS

Minimize country-specific deviations to be as harmonized as possible with GHS provisionsOther Aspects of the Approach

Keep the regulatory text as simple as possible, adding the detailed specification requirements to AppendicesEmployers who do not have to classify hazards or prepare labels and safety data sheets (SDSs) do not need to access or be familiar with much of the new text Organization of the Final Rule

Side-by-Side Comparison Of Changes:

HazComm 1994 versus HazComm 2012

a) PurposeHazCom 1994All hazards to be evaluatedComprehensive hazard communication program to transmit informationPreempt state laws

HazCom 2012All hazards to be classifiedOther provisions the same, except OSHA added that the rule is consistent with Revision 3 of the GHS (2009 Version)Slight clarifying modification was made to the language regarding preemptionFederalism

Federalism1910.1200(a)(2) This occupational safety and health standard is intended to address comprehensively the issue of classifying the potential hazards of chemicals, and communicating information concerning hazards and appropriate protective measures to employees, and to preempt any legislative or regulatory enactments of a state, or political subdivision of a state, pertaining to this subject. Under section 18 of the Act, no state or political subdivision of a state may adopt or enforce any requirement relating to the issue addressed by this Federal standard, except pursuant to a Federally-approved state plan.

b) Scope and ApplicationHazCom 1994All chemicals known to be present are coveredPractical accommodations for special situationsAddresses interface with other Federal laws

HazCom 2012Minimal changes except to conform terminology, and remove reference to current Appendix E which has been deleted from the standard.

c) DefinitionsHazCom 1994Includes specific definitions for terms used in the standard, as well as all physical hazards

HazCom 2012Physical hazard definitions removed from paragraph (c), and placed in a new Appendix B on physical hazard classification criteriaFollowing terms are also deleted: flashpoint (methods included in Appendix B), hazard warning, material safety data sheetsSome definitions are revised to be GHS-consistent, New definitions added for classification

DefinitionsTerms no longer being defined due to changes in terminology: Hazard warning; identity; and material safety data sheet (MSDS)Terms revised to be consistent with the GHS:Chemical; chemical name; hazardous chemical; health hazard; label; mixture; physical hazard; and trade secret

DefinitionsThe following terms are being added to the definitions section:Classification; hazard category; hazard class; hazard not otherwise classified; hazard statement; label elements; pictogram; precautionary statement; product identifier; pyrophoric gas; safety data sheet (SDS); signal word; simple asphyxiant; and substanceThese terms are primarily related to the changes in approach to evaluating hazards, and providing label /SDS information

*GHS New TermsClassification identification and evaluation of relevant data regarding chemical hazards and comparison to GHS criteriaHazard class the nature of the physical or health hazardHazard category division of criteria within each hazard classHazard statement statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature and degree of hazardPictogram symbol plus other graphic elements intended to convey specific information about the hazardsPrecautionary statement phrase that describes measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effectsSafety data sheet (SDS) = Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)Signal word indicates the relative level of severity of hazard. Danger is more severe. Warning is less severe.

Definition of hazardous chemical Any chemical which is classified as a physical hazard or a health hazard, a simple asphyxiant, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas, or hazard not otherwise classified. OSHA used the building block GHS concept to include:a simple asphyxiant, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas, or hazard not otherwise classified.

DefinitionsHazards Not Otherwise ClassifiedClassification identifies a hazard, but the evidence does not meet the currently specified criteria covered by HazComm 2012 Example: Static Accumulator, Magnetic, etc..Example: Toxic at less than 1% concentration

d) Hazard ClassificationHazCom 1994Performance-orientedDefinitions in paragraph (c), Appendices A and BAppendix Bparameters for evaluating dataFloor of chemicals considered hazardousOne study ruleStandardized mixture cut-off rules

HazCom 2012Specific and detailedConcept of classification vs. determination in current ruleEach hazard class has detailed criteria to apply to data on the chemicalNo floor; based on weight of evidenceMixture rules are specific to each hazard class

Each physical or health hazard is a hazard class (e.g., Carcinogenicity is a hazard class)A hazard class may be sub-divided in the criteria into several hazard categories based on the degree of severity of the hazardPlacing a chemical into a hazard class , and where necessary, a hazard category, is the concept of classification determining not only the hazard, but also the severity of the effectHazard Classification

Current HCS vs. HazCom 2012"Corrosive:" A chemical that causes visible destruction of, or irreversible alterations in, living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact. For example, a chemical is considered to be corrosive if, when tested on the intact skin of albino rabbits by the method described by the U.S. Department of Transportation in appendix A to 49 CFR part 173, it destroys or changes irreversibly the structure of the tissue at the site of contact following an exposure period of four hours. This term shall not refer to action on inanimate surfaces. HCS Corrosive definitionGHS definition/criteria of skin Corrosive A.2.1.1Skin corrosion is the production of irreversible damage to the skin; namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis, following the application of a test substance for up to 4hours. .Corrosive reactions are typified by ulcers, bleeding, bloody scabs, and, by the end of observation at 14 days, by discoloration due to blanching of the skin, complete areas of alopecia, and scars. Histopathology should be considered to evaluate questionable lesions.

Significant OSHA DecisionsThe addition of Pyrophoric gas, Simple Asphyxiants and Combustible dust to the Physical and Health hazards is very significant as these are not hazards as defined by GHS

Hazards not Otherwise Classified One unique aspect to the OSHAs final rule is the definition of hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC)

This definition was added to ensure that hazards currently covered by HCS continue to be coveredCombustible Dust has its own hazard classNanomaterials?Emerging Hazards.

Hazards not Otherwise Classified Hazard not otherwise classified (HNOC) means an adverse physical or health effect identified through evaluation of scientific evidence during the classification process that does not meet the specified criteria for the physical and health hazard classes addressed in this section. This does extend coverage to adverse physical and health effects for which there is a hazard class addressed in this section, but the effect either falls below the cut-off value/concentration limit of the hazard class or is under a GHS hazard category that has been adopted by OSHA (e.g., acute toxicity Category 5, simple asphyxiant).

Hazards not Otherwise ClassifiedInformation will be required on the safety data sheets in Section 2Hazard information on the label, is not mandatory, but can be provided under supplementary informationSuch hazards must also be addressed in worker training

Simple asphyxiant means a substance or mixture that displaces oxygen in the ambient atmosphere, and can thus cause oxygen deprivation in those who are exposed, leading to unconsciousness and death.Label: Warning. May displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation.Pyrophoric gas means a chemical in a gaseous state that will ignite spontaneously in air at a temperature of 130 degrees F (54.4 degrees C) or below. Label: Danger. Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air.

Simple Asphyxiant and Pyrophoric Gas

Combustible dust is covered separately from HNOC, but is not specifically definedGuidance for defining combustible dust is to be taken from existing documents, including the directive for the National Emphasis Program; the NFPA standards also provide useful informationCombustible dust must be addressed on labels where appropriate:Warning. May form combustible dust concentrations in air.Paragraph (f)(4) may apply to materials shipped in solid form, that create combustible dust when processedCombustible Dust

MixturesHCS 2012 has a tiered approach to mixtures, with each health hazard class having a specific approachStep 1: Use available test data on the mixture as a whole to classify the mixture based on the substance criteriaStep 2: Use bridging principles to extrapolate from other data (e.g., dilution principle)Step 3: Estimate hazards based on known information regarding the ingredients of the mixture (cut-offs may be applied)Chemical manufacturers and importers may rely on the information provided in ingredient SDSs unless they have a reason to know that it is inaccurate

*Cut off values/Concentration limits for health and environmental hazard class

Footer Text

Tiered Approach to ClassificationGenerally use test data for the mixture, when available Use bridging principles, if applicable For health and environmental hazards, estimate hazards based on the known ingredient information

f) Labels and Other Forms of WarningHazCom 1994Shipped containers to be labeled with identity, appropriate hazard warnings, and responsible partyPerformance-oriented, specifics left to discretion of chemical manufacturer or importer

HazCom 2012Shipped containers to be labeled with product identifier; signal word; hazard statement(s); pictograms; precautionary statements; and responsible partySpecifies information by hazard class and category

The final rulelike the GHSis a specification approach to labels. In Appendix C, OSHA has indicated by hazard class and hazard category the label elements that must be on the labelAppendix C is basically a cookbook approach to labelingOnce classification of the hazards is completed, Appendix C is to be consulted to determine how to convey the required information

Approach to Labels

Product identifierSignal wordHazard statement(s)Pictogram(s)Precautionary statement(s)Name, address, and phone number of the responsible partyLabel Requirements for Shipped Containers

*Precedence of hazardDANGERWARNING>Skin/Eye irritation

Skin/Eye irritation>>>

The GHS allows competent authorities to use only black borders on pictograms for domestic shipmentsOSHA is requiring red borders regardless of the shipments destinationThe red borders increase comprehensibility The requirement for red borders will result in additional options being developed to comply; for example, new printers are becoming available for this requirementBlank red diamonds are not permitted on a labelRed vs. Black Borders

*Signal Word & Hazard Statements

*Signal WordDanger or WarningDanger is more hazardousUsed to emphasis hazard and to discriminate between hazard categories (level of hazard)e.g. Acute toxicity category 1 will require Danger, category 4 will require Warning

Hazard StatementsDictated by Appendix C

C.4 REQUIREMENTS FOR SIGNAL WORDS, HAZARD STATEMENTS, PICTOGRAMS, AND PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS C.4.1 ACUTE TOXICITY ORAL (Classified in Accordance with Appendix A.1)Pictogram Skull and crossbonesHazard categorySignal wordHazard statement1DangerFatal if swallowed2DangerFatal if swallowed

*Hazard StatementsA single harmonised hazard statement for each hazard category within each hazard classe.g. Flammable liquid - Category 1 Extremely flammable liquid and vapour - Category 2 Highly flammable liquid and vapour - Category 3 Flammable liquid and vapour - Category 4 Combustible liquid

*Hazard Statements (cont.)e.g. Oral Acute Toxicity

Category 1 Fatal if swallowed Category 2 Fatal if swallowed Category 3 Toxic if swallowedCategory 4 Harmful if swallowedCategory 5 Maybe harmful if swallowed

Precautionary InformationGHS label should include appropriate precautionary information. The GHS document includes examples of precautionary statements which can be used.The intent is to harmonize precautionary statements.There are four types of precautionary statements presented, "prevention," "response," "storage," and "disposal."

Precautionary InformationExample

Precautionary statementsPreventionResponseStorageDisposalWash thoroughly after handling. Chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor to specify parts of the body to be washed after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.If swallowed: Immediately call a poison center/doctor/ Chemical manufacturer, importer,or distributor to specify the appropriate source of emergency medical advice. Specific treatment (see on this label) Reference to supplemental first aid instruction. - if immediate administration of antidote is required.

GHS Label-Bad Example-Toxic?

OSHA proposed to require labels to be updated within three months of getting new and significant information about the hazardsThe final rule requires containers shipped six months after the information is available to be labeled accordinglyUpdating Labels

HazCom 2012 maintains the flexible approach to workplace labels in the current rule, i.e., the GHS label does not have to be on all workplace containersMay Still use other label systems in PlantNFPA labels (problem with reverse hazard numbering)HMIS labelsWorkplace labels will have to be reviewed to make sure they still convey the correct hazards and other information when these new requirements are implementedWorkplace Labels

LabelsEmployers are responsible for maintaining the labels on the containers, including, but not limited to, tanks, totes, drums, and for training their employees on the hazards listed on the labels in the workplace.

Labels must continue to be: legible contain the pertinent information (such as the hazards and directions for use)not able to be defaced, (i.e., fade, get washed off,) or removed in any way as stated in revised Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR1910.1200(f)(9)

g) Safety Data Sheets HazCom 1994Specifies what information is required, but chemical manufacturer or importer can use whatever format or order of information they want

HazCom 2012Mandates 16-section SDS headings, order of information, and what information is to be provided under the headingsWill not enforce sections 12-15 that require information outside OSHAs jurisdiction

h) Employee Information and TrainingHazCom 1994Requires employee information and training before a worker is exposed to the hazardous chemicals in the workplace, and whenever the hazard changes

HazCom 2012Clarifies that the labels on shipped containers and workplace labels must be explained, as well as SDS formatWorkers will have to be trained on the new label and SDS formats before all the provisions of the rule are effective

Since the new label and SDS requirements will be phased in over several years, it is critical that employees understand the label and SDS formats, and the way information is conveyedTraining on the system is thus the first compliance date for the rule; workers are already starting to see GHS labels and SDSs on imported chemicalsTraining

i) Trade Secrets(AppendixE)HazCom 1994Allows specific chemical identity to be protected when it is a legitimate trade secrete.Specifies conditions for protection, and for release when there is a safety and health need for the information

HazCom 2012Process remains the samePercentage of a substance in a mixture is also considered to be a type of trade secret subject to the provisions in the rule.

*This date coincides with the European Union implementation date for classification of mixtures.Implementation Dates

Approach to Other StandardsMany other OSHA standards contain criteria related to defining hazards, as well as other provisions that rely on those criteria

OSHA undertook a comprehensive review of its rules to identify what needed to be changed OSHA has proposed modifications to all of those standards that it determined needed to be consistent with the GHS

Written ProgramDescribes how the standard will be implemented in that facility Contains a list of all chemicals

Program RequirementsWritten programList of all hazardous chemicalsAddresses non-routine tasksDiscusses other contractors responsibilitiesAvailable upon request to any employee or contractor

Develop Implementation PlansFor EmployersInitial employee training on the label elementsMinimal training on new SDS formatContinue to maintain the updated SDSs Review current hazard communication program and update as necessary For manufacturersInitial start-up costs associated with reclassification, producing new labels, safety data sheets, training.

Guidance MaterialsOSHA has and will continue to develop an array of guidance materialsInitial Materials:Quick Cards, Fact sheets, Small Entity Compliance guides Technical MaterialsModel Training materials; Safety Data Preparation guidance; Hazard Classification GuidanceWeb Applicationshttp://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html

Impact on RCRAHazCom 2012 continues to exempt hazardous waste under 1910.1200(b)(6).Employers will need to train their employees on the new label and SDS requirementsUse in the workplaceUse in emergency response and contingency planning

*Effect on Safety ProfessionalsBecome familiar with the new systemCollect new SDSs as provided by suppliers and incorporate them into the existing MSDS system (or use commercial service)New GHS labels for shipped containersEmployers can use other systems for workplace labelingTrain employees on new labels and SDS

The GHS (HazComm 2012) ElementsClassification CriteriaHealth EnvironmentPhysicalHazards not Elsewhere ClassifiedHazard CommunicationLabelsSafety Data Sheets

*Hazard ClassificationChemical substances and mixtures are classified according to 18 physical and 11 health hazard classes Most hazard classes are sub-divided into hazard categories based on severity where, for example, 1 is high and 5 is low.GHS allows for use of expert judgment and weight of evidence.Classification determines the signal words, pictograms, hazard and precautionary statements used to convey information on labels and safety data sheets (SDS). Adoption of GHS by OSHA does not affect DOT regulations as the classification and labeling of hazardous materials in transport have been harmonized for years.

Ground Rules

Kathy LandkrohnOffice of Chemical Hazards - MetalsDirectorate of Standards and Guidance

45 Minute presentation then questions.

If she does not have an answer she will write down the questions and get back to us.

**This is a UN system. Unified approach to communicating hazards and facilitate international trade and reduce injuries related to chemical hazards.*Take out what you need.

OSHA is only dealing with physical and health hazards.**The preliminary rulemaking activities include preparing Requests for Information (RFIs), literature research, site visits, stakeholder meetings and other activities needed to develop rules that address important health and safety hazards in the most cost effective way possible. In addition, for major rules, (those with compliance costs in excess of a $100 million dollars or that have a major impact on small businesses) OSHA conducts SBREFA panels to get input on small business impacts. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

Based on this information OSAH develops the regulatory text, the preamble explaining the standard, and publish it in the Federal Register. OSHA then accepts written comment from the public and, in most cases, conducts informal public hearings.

OSHA then analyzes the record, prepares the final rule and preamble and published the final rule in the Federal Register.

At various steps in the process, rules are reviewed by OSHA and DOL management and OMB.

Now there are specifications that help us be harmonized with the rest of the world. An international community approach.90% of chemicals production would be under this system (worldwide)Consistently in top 3 for most serious Per OSHA and NSC -- In 2010 HCS ranked #3, Hazard Communication 7179 (NSC Safety & Health magazine Dec 2010 issue)

Per OSHA and NSC -- In 2009 HSC ranked #3. Hazard Communication 6,378 violationsChemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers.http://www.nsc.org/Pages/OSHAReportsonTop10SafetyViolationsfor2009.aspx

Hazard communication violations for 2008 ranked #3 on OSHA's top 10 list of most frequently violated compliance standards

****Easy to find what you need.*Green are sections that have major changes.*****Safety Data Sheet instead of Material Safety Data Sheet.****In addition, the following terms are not being defined in because they are no longer needed due to changes in terminology: Hazard warning; identity; and material safety data sheet (MSDS). Regarding material safety data sheet, this term was removed, but is replaced by the new term safety data sheet.

The definitions for the following terms are being revised to be consistent with the GHS and, ultimately, Haz Com 2012: Chemical; chemical name; hazardous chemical; health hazard; label; mixture; physical hazard; and trade secret

*****Most of the terms added to the definitions paragraph of Haz Com 2012 are related to evaluating hazards and proper label information.

For example classification requires manufacturers, importers, and distributors to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce, and select the appropriate hazard class and hazard category, using the criteria provided in Appendices A and B. As Deana will discuss in a little bit, the classification approach is different than the determination approach used in Haz Com 1994.

Youll notice that pyrophoric gas and simple asphyxiant are listed as definitions added to this paragraph of the rule. These hazards were included in Haz Com 1994, but are not included in the GHS. OSHA added these hazard definitions to Haz Com 2012 so that the rule would maintain its existing hazard coverage.*****Information on hazards not otherwise classified is required to be provided in Section 2 of the safety data sheet. Thats the Hazard Identification section of the safety data sheet.

However, information for hazards not otherwise classified is not required on the label, but it can be provided as supplemental information.

Of course, if such a hazard is identified, it must be included in worker training.

What's an example of a hazards not otherwise classified?? Static accumulator

The definition for hazards not otherwise classified is intended to address situations where a classifier has identified evidence of a hazard during the normal classification process, but the evidence does not meet the currently specified criteria for hazards covered by Haz Com 2012.

The definition for hazards not otherwise classified captures those effects to ensure that Haz Com 2012 is appropriately protective, and covers all of the hazards covered by Haz Com 1994.

You see, Haz Com 1994 was an umbrella standard, designed to capture chemical hazards in the workplace, even those that had not been identified at the time the rule was promulgated. By including a definition for hazards not otherwise classified, we are maintaining this coverage.

*No longer have a floor.

Mixture rules are specific.In the past it was a carcinogen or not. Now we have to know the severity. Important for label issues.

Concern over the cost of the color printer.

Every red diamond must have a pictogram.

Have 6 months to update labels.Signal words, hazard statements and pictograms have all been harmonized, and assigned to each hazard class and category in the GHS. Once a chemical has been classified, the relevant harmonized information can be found in the HCS in the new Appendix C.**HazCom & GHS, April 2012STEP, LLC 270.753.6529 www.stepky.com**Required Elements on a GHS label will be:- Name of material/Product- Signal Word- Hazard and Precautionary Statements- Pictograms- Mfr Name and phone number

Three label element must be located together on the label according to GHS Signal WordHazard StatementsPictograms

Must update workplace labels to include correct hazards.

Information must not be in conflict with standard.

Must use appropriate symbol/pictogram for hazard.**Employers are still responsible for the same hazard communication on labels as before.

Specific order of information.

*Bolded sections will be enforced by OSHA.Key Changes in Section 2: Reclassification of Hazards based on GHS criteria including Health and Environmental Hazards, Physical hazards, classification of mixtures as well as Signal words, complete with signal words, pictograms, etc.

*New training requirements. **Working on Small Entity Compliance Guides.

*Emergency Responders and Contingency Plan must include the new label and SDS requirements and explanations of hazards/pictograms***

*What does new rule say about record keeping on hazard classification decisions? Maintenance of records do not change from record keeping rule- now have one specifications to follow in Appendix A or B- does not know if they have to keep records that they followed the specifications or required procedure on hazard classificationThe hazardous waste exemption - clarification?Example toluene has been used and is now a waste.While used is under OSHA but once it enters the waste stream it is under RCRA not OSHA. OSHA did not make any changes to this application in the standard.Is it out of jurisdiction during transportation?Wheels rolling is under DOT. Wheels not rolling is under OSHA. Will get to us about jurisdiction.Does the exemption from hazardous waste apply to unused virgin chemicals (p-listed)? If it is not hazardous waste NO. If it is still in the supply chain then it is not a waste. Hazardous waste generators have a difficult time determining what is hazardous waste perhaps the manufacturer could add information on what to do if the product is not used. Such as how to discard of unused portion. The SDS allows for other information as long as they do not conflict with what is required.Would it be possible to issue joint guidance on disposal criteria on the SDS?Hazardous waste disposal information should be a requirement. It is very inconsistent in MSDSs. OSHA did a SDS brief for people who will be seeing the SDS. OSHA and EPA work with chemical suppliers to standardize the information on chemical disposal whether used (spent) or virgin. Information from chemical supplier to consumer to assist with proper disposal. This would be especially useful for chemicals that are protected by trade secret and ingredients are not listed. Disposal should include a description of original ingredients. What is the floor of chemical considered hazardous?1% of a chemical and 0.5% of a carcinogenRevised standard is dependent on amount of chemical in entire mixture. The revised standard has a table to explain this. This should help with chemicals that may be in the mixture at levels below 1% but still present a hazard. Page 17710 of revised rule discussion of hazards and cut-off values - see table on page 712.Exemption for hazardous waste does that extend to other waste that might not be hazardous waste?She is not sure. Labeling requirements have not changed so the material as part of work stream must still be labeled. Can use other labels as long as the label/pictogram does not conflict with the standard. Example may use Mr YuckWhat does hazardous mean as it applies to OSHA?OSHA requirements apply to hazardous chemicals even if they are exempt/excluded from RCRA. OSHA does not define hazardous waste.She is not prepared to explain the impact of the new standard on 1910.120. This will be tabled for later discussion.
