New haz com presentation
This document outlines an organization's hazard communication system and chemical safety policies and procedures. It discusses training employees about chemicals in the workplace on a yearly basis or when new chemicals are introduced. Safety data sheets will be kept and available for all chemicals. No new chemicals will be used without an approved safety data sheet. Chemicals must be stored and labeled properly and never mixed together. The document also reviews new global standards for labeling hazardous materials using pictograms and standardized format for safety data sheets.

- 1. Hazard CommunicationSystem ◦ OSHA estimates: 7 million workplaces 100 million employees 945,000 hazardous chemical products
- 2. All employeeswill be trained in the safe use of all chemicals used in the workplace! This training will be refreshed on a yearly basis or when a new Chemical or process is introduced 9/18/2013jars inc.
- 3. sds sheetswill be kept in the store or on line for all chemicals used in our operation and updated on a regular basis to satisfy the employees’ right to know Retraining will take place when a new chemical or procedure is introduced any questions as to interpretation of sds sheets may be directed to the safety manager An inventory shall be supplied upon request 9/18/2013jars inc.
- 4. No newchemicals will be introduced into the operation without an safety data sheet and not without approval of the operator/ safety manager. Use of consumer style products is highly discouraged and may be construed as a violation of safety standards according to usage 9/18/2013jars inc.
- 5. Chemicals shallkept in their original container or properly labeled spray bottle. Read the label before use make sure the chemical is designed for the task at hand. Any non-routine task will require a special training session by a qualified person. 9/18/2013jars inc.

- 10. Standards willbe more pictogram based as opposed to word based
- 11. Information from the Globally Harmonized System(GHS) /Purple Book ONE EXAMPLE
- 12. Signal Words /Hazard Pictograms
- 13. Signal Words ◦The words “Danger” and “Warning” are being used as signal words to emphasize the hazard and indicate the relative level of the severity of the hazard as assigned by a GHS hazard class and category Danger – For more “severe” hazards Warning – For less “severe” hazards
- 14. Examples ofGHS Pictograms Information from the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) /Purple Book
- 15. Hazard &Precautionary Statements ◦ Hazard statements have been standardized and given phrases that describe the hazard(s) as found in the hazard classification ◦ If there is more than one hazard, then the appropriate hazard statement should be included for all identified hazards
- 16. Pictograms, SignalWords and Hazard Statements
- 17.
- 18. Safety DataSheets ◦ Under GHS, (Material) Safety Data Sheets (SDS) will be in a common format for all materials which require a SDS ◦ The format is intended to provide an easier to read document and allow for quicker identification of hazards and dangers of a product ◦ The SDS should contain 16 headings and is derived as a combination of document formats from ISO – International Organization of Standardization EU – European Union ANSI – American National Standards Institute
- 19. Safety DataSheets ◦ The minimum recommended information includes: Section 1 – Identification of the substance or mixture and the supplier GHS Product Identifier Recommended uses Supplier details (address, phone number) Emergency phone numbers Section 2 – Hazard identification GHS classification of the substance/mixture GHS label elements (precautionary statements, hazard symbols) Other hazards not classified by GHS (ie dust explosion hazard)
- 20. Safety DataSheets ◦ The minimum recommended information includes: Section 3 – Composition / Ingredients Chemical Identity – common name, synonyms, CAS number, impurities/stablizers, concentrations or concentration ranges Section 4 – First Aid First aid measures based on the different routes of exposure, most important symptoms/effects, indication of immediate medical attention if necessary Section 5 – Firefighting Suitable / unsuitable extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
- 21. Safety DataSheets ◦ The minimum recommended information includes: Section 6 – Accidental Release Personal precautions, environmental precautions and containment / cleanup materials and methods Section 7 – Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage Section 8 - Exposure controls Control parameters, engineering controls and individual protective measures – PPE
- 22. Safety DataSheets ◦ The minimum recommended information includes: Section 9 – Physical / Chemical Properties Properties about the material (e.g. state, appearance, odor, pH, flash point, vapor density, etc) Section 10 – Stability / Reactivity Chemical stability, reaction possibilities, conditions to avoid, incompatibilities, decomposition products Section 11 – Toxicological Information Likely routes of exposure Symptoms associated with physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics Numerical measures of toxicity
- 23. Safety DataSheets ◦ The minimum recommended information includes: Section 12 – Ecological Information Aquatic / Soil Toxicity Persistence and degradability Bioaccumulation potential Section 13 – Disposal Recommended disposal methods Section 14 – Transportation UN Number, Proper Shipping Name, Hazard Class, Packing Group Marine Pollutant (Yes/No) Special Precautions
- 24. Safety DataSheets ◦ The minimum recommended information includes: Section 15 – Regulatory Information Regulatory bodies that govern the chemical / mixtures (e.g. SARA, TCSC, FIFRA) Section 16 – Other Information Preparation and revisions on SDS should be in this section
- 25. Safety DataSheets ◦ With uniform data fields and common terminology, information can easily be found on the sheets ◦ Worker understanding of the dangers will also be easier to define
- 26. Training ◦ Underthe current hazard communication system, employers are required to train employees on the hazard associated with products ◦ Right-to-Know stations must be provided ◦ GHS does not change this requirement and stresses the importance of training for employees ◦ The GHS harmonization with labels / SDS /terminology is intended to make training easier for all

Employers are responsiblefor 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 CFR 1910.1200(f)(9)

Editor's Notes
- #30 This table shows the hazard classes and categories OSHA adopted in its final rule.As with health hazards, OSHA tried to maintain the scope of Haz Com 1994 for physical hazards in Haz Com 2012. Therefore, you will notice this list also includes pyrophoric gases and combustible dusts. The definition for pyrophoric gas is contained in paragraph (c) and the label elements are presented in Appendix C.For combustible dust, we are treating as we always have. The definition for this hazard is provided in the Combustible Dust NEP (Directive CPL 03-000-008). Guidance on this hazard is provided using existing documents, including those on OSHA’s webpage. In addition there are a number of voluntary consensus standards (particularly those from NFPA) that address combustible dust.Deana will now talk about the hazard communication program and labels.
- #37 In the final rule OSHA decided not to phase in compliance based on whether a product is a substance or a mixture. OSHA concluded that adequate information is available for classifiers to use to classify substances and mixtures.Therefore, under the revised standard, covered employers must complete all training regarding the new label elements and SDS format by December 1, 2013 since, employees will begin seeing the new style labels considerably earlier than the compliance date for labeling. All other provisions to be in effect by June 1, 2015, except: Distributors who are passing on manufacturer labels to customers shall ensure all labels are updated by December 1, 2015 ( these distributors have an extra six months) IF distributors are not passing along manufacturer labels they MUST comply with the June 1, 2015 date for labels.Employers will also be given an additional year (by June 1, 2016) to update their hazard communication programs or any other workplace signs, if applicable.You may be curious about, or get asked “Why did OSHA pick June 1, 2015 for an effective date for labels?” This is because it coincides with the EU date for classifying mixtures.
