But you can: •UNDERSTAND• PREPARE• TRAIN
THERE’S NO PLACE TO HIDE FROM GHS…

HAZARD COMMUNICATION (HazCom) “RIGHT TO KNOW” STANDARD
WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY FROM 1994
![Page 5: Hazardous Communication (HazCom) & GHS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814035550346895dab990c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENT
In March 2012 OSHA adopted its final rule addressing the Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
Cal/OSHA and other agencies have also adopted
GHS and HazCom
![Page 6: Hazardous Communication (HazCom) & GHS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814035550346895dab990c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Intended to: Create an internationally recognizable system
Establish a standard format for hazard communication
Support the trade of chemicals for international exchange
GHS Objectives

KEY DEADLINESGHS

BASIC FRAMEWORK OF HAZCOM WILL NOT CHANGE•Chemical manufacturers and importers are still responsible for providing information about the identities and hazards of chemicals.
• All employers using chemicals within their operations are still required to have a hazard communication program.
OSHA - HazCom CHANGES
![Page 9: Hazardous Communication (HazCom) & GHS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814035550346895dab990c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• OSHA PELs still required to be listed on SDS• Employee training required• Full compliance required within 3 years •Must be a written program• Containers require labels and warnings
OSHA - HCS KEY ELEMENTS

The GHS comprises standards for: Classifying chemical hazards Creates symbols (pictograms) for hazards New labeling requirements Establishes a universal SDS format.
WHAT IS IN IT?
![Page 11: Hazardous Communication (HazCom) & GHS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814035550346895dab990c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pictograms convey information as one of 3 main groups:
Health, Physical and/or Environmental hazards
GHS LABELS:PICTOGRAMS

GHS does require certain label provisions.
CONTAINER LABELS
• Product identification• Supplier identification• Symbols (hazard pictograms)• Signal words• Hazard statements • Precautionary information
![Page 18: Hazardous Communication (HazCom) & GHS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814035550346895dab990c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

GHS LABEL EXAMPLE
Training and Compliance
Tip:
If it is on the label,
It will be the law
![Page 23: Hazardous Communication (HazCom) & GHS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56814035550346895dab990c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NFPA and GHSAlternative labeling systems such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 Hazard Rating and the Hazardous Material Information System (HMIS) are still permitted

SDS IS THE NEW MSDS
Material Safety Data Sheets will now be referred to as Safety Data Sheets.
16-section format will now be standard.
SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS)
