• Chemicals are all around us every day.

• Chemicals can be:• Corrosive.

• Reactive.

• Flammable.

• Explosive.

• Oxidizing.

• Inert.

Why Hazard Communication & Chemical Safety

• In many cases, the chemicals you may be dealing with at work are no more dangerous than those you use at home.

• However, in the workplace:– Exposure likely more often– Concentrations likely higher– Longer duration of exposure

Purpose of the Hazard Communication

Standard

•To inform employees about hazardous chemicals they work with

•Information provided through:– Information on Chemical Labels– Safety Data Sheets– Training on Hazard Communication– Written HAZCOM Program

•It is your “Right to Know”

Global Harmonized System is :

– Standardizing chemical classifying and labeling on a global scale.

– Internationally Comprehensible.

– Provides consistent and simplified communications.

– Improved labeling provides greater hazard awareness.

Employers must train employeeson the new label elements and safety data sheet (SDS) format

- Manufacturers must reclassify chemicals per GHS requirements

- Manufacturers must update all MSDS to SDS

June 1, 2015June 1, 2015 Dec. 1, 2015Dec. 1, 2015- Manufacturers

must update all container labels being distributed to GHS format

June 1, 2016June 1, 2016- Employers

must have all MSDS replaced with SDS

- Employers must update all in-house secondary container labels to meet GHS requirements

GHS IMPLEMENTATION DATES

Page 10: OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION 2013

Key Elements of Written HAZCOM Program

• Chemical inventory list of all chemicals used in the workplace. Updated when new chemicals are obtained.

• Obtaining Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals within our inventory.

• Method for ensuring all chemicals are labeled.

• Employee training requirements.

Primary vs. Secondary Labels

• Primary Labels come from manufacturer.• GHS now mandates how these primary labels must

appear.

• Secondary Labels used when roofer places chemical into a smaller “secondary” container.

• Examples include:– gasoline cans– spray bottles filled with membrane cleaner– bucket full of paint– Etc.

Secondary Labels must provide the same level of information to employees as primary labels. Best practice is to

replicate the shipping primary labels.

Labels: Signal Word

• 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.

Acceptable Secondary Labeling Procedures.

1. Minimize use of secondary containers, use primary.

2. Secondary label must effectively relay same information as primary. Best practice is to duplicate labels for products you often move into secondary containers. (one method is quicklable.com)

3. No label required if kept in full control of roofer and used in same shift.

Key Terms & Definitions

• Flashpoint: The lowest temp. at which a liquid produces enough vapor to ignite.

• Flammable: Any substance easily ignited and quick burning including liquids with a flashpoint under 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Toxic: Any substance (alone or via chemical reaction) able to cause harm/injury to the body through absorption, ingestion, inhalation, or injection.

• Caustic/Corrosive: Any substance able to burn, damage, corrode organic tissue by chemical reaction.

• PEL: (Permissible Exposure Limit) OSHA standard recognized as the maximum amount or concentration of chemical a worker may be exposed to over an 8-hour work day.

Physical Hazard vs. Health Hazard

– Chemicals can be:

• Physical hazards are exhibited by certain chemicals because of their physical properties (e.g., flammability, reactivity, etc.)

• Health hazard - Occurs when a chemical produces an acute or chronic health effect on exposed employees.

Acute vs. Chronic Health Effects

• Acute:– Occurs quickly– Usually occur after

exposure to high concentrations

– Examples: Fiberglass can cause immediate itchiness, extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage, high concentrations of Carbon Monoxide (CO) can lead to death.

• Chronic– Develop slowly– Effects aren’t seen until later

in life– May not see, feel, or smell the

danger– Examples include asbestosis,

silicosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer from cigarette smoke, chronic hearing loss

Summary

• It is your “right to know”. The HAZCOM Program and SDS’s are available for you at anytime.

• All secondary containers MUST be labeled and relay all pertinent information listed on primary label.

• New SDS’s and Labels will be filtering into the workplace over the next two years.

• There are 9 new pictograms that will help us recognized hazards related to chemicals.

• If you ever have any questions, ASK!
