Why Change?
Why Change HazCom?
Reduce chemical exposures
Prevent injuries, illnesses, and fatalities
Save money through productivity improvements– Standardized SDS– Easier international trade– Simplified training
Cost-Benefit
Annual cost – Cost of implementing new HazCom = $201M/yr
Annual benefits– Reduction in injuries and fatalities = $250M/yr– Productivity improvements = $750M/yr– Total benefits = $1B/yr
What’s Changing?
Hazard Communication Standard: Current
“Employee Right-to-Know”
– Hazard determination– MSDS– Labels– Training
Hazard Communication Standard: What’s New
“Employee Right-to-Know”
– Hazard classification– SDS– Labels
Hazard Classification Changes
Old HCS– Hazards are loosely defined – No specific, detailed criteria– Potential for ambiguity
New GHS– Specific criteria for physical and health hazards– Detailed instructions for hazard evaluation– Establishes hazard classes and hazard categories
Labeling Changes
How Will Labels Change?
