Hazard Communication

@WorkplaceAnswer
#WorkSafely
HCS Meets GHS
 Aligning with The Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
 Training is required to understand significant changes to:
 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) (formerly MSDS),
 labeling, and
 other forms of hazard communication
 One of OSHA’s goals:
 …to evolve from the worker’s "right to know” to the
worker’s “right to understand."

@WorkplaceAnswer
#WorkSafely
Why Change the Standard?
To increase the quality and consistency of
information provided to workers, employers and
chemical users
 labels include signal words, pictograms,
and hazard and precautionary
statements
 safety data sheets have
standardized format

@WorkplaceAnswer
#WorkSafely
 Hazard classification: Provides specific criteria for
classification of health and physical hazards, as well as
classification of mixtures.
 Labels: Include a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and
hazard and/or precautionary statement for each class and
category.
 Safety Data Sheets: Specified 16-section format.
 Information and training: All employers with hazardous
chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety
data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to
handle the chemicals appropriately.
Major Changes

@WorkplaceAnswer
#WorkSafely
Impact on Employers
 Compliance training must be completed before
December 1, 2013
 Over 40 million workers in 5 million workplaces will

Safety Training Requirements
By December 1, 2013:
