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.

Characteristics of the 11 example chemicals (Physical Data)

185

Physical Data

Boiling Point -The temperature at which a liquid turns to a vapour

186

Freezing Point

- Temperature at which the liquid form of a chemical will turn into the solid form

Melting Point

- Temperature at which the solid form of a chemical will turn into the liquid form

Vapour pressure

- The higher the vapour pressure,the more rapidly the material will change from liquid form to o vapour when released to the environment.

187

Vapour pressure

The amount of released harmful vapors in based on the chemic al’s vapor pressure. The greater the vapor pressure, the great

er the yield of hazardous vapors . Acetone will give off more va pors then gasoline. Sulfuric acid has a low vapor pressure and gives off little vapor.

188

Vapour density- Density of a gas compared to the density of air

189

Specific gravity - density of a chemical compared to the density of water. If the specific gravity is less than one, the chemical will float on water. If the specific gravity is greater than one, the chemical will sink.

191

Fire and Explosion Data.

192

Health Hazard Information

193

Water solubility of a chemical the quantity of a chemical that will mix with or dissolve in water. Helps to determine many of its toxic effects on living tissues / Chemicals that are very water soluble, lead to cellular injury.

194

Liquid - gas ratios. The volume of gas produced by the vaporization of a given volume of liquid . The volume of gas produced is always greater than the volume of liquid before vaporization.

195

The expansion ratio of a chemical helps to determine the extent of hazard that the chemical poses.

Different chemicals have different expansion ratios. Liquified gases and cryogenics have the greatest
