2 Course Name: Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals/ Hazard Communication (GHS /HazCom) Course Code: MU Duration: 3 Hours This class was prepared for delivery by local in-service fire officers for their fire department. 2

3 Identify the new GHS Pictograms and Signal Words. Understand differences of NFPA 704 and HazCom Identify the major changes in the Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Identify the employer requirements for implementation and the timeframe. 3

4 Demonstrate understanding of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG). Identify the words deleted from HazCom Understand who will be affected. Understand Secondary Containment and the required marking. 4

5 Why Who How? 5

6 To align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) adopted by 67 nations. To provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals. Reduce confusion and increase understanding of the hazards. 6

7 Manufacturers Distributors Importers Training Officers Employees 7

9 Revised Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR New Sign 9

10 Effective Completion Date December 1, 2013 June 1, 2015 Requirement(s) Train employees on the new label elements and SDS format Compliance with all modified provisions of the final rule except: Responsible Party Employers Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers December 1, 2015 The distributor shall not ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer unless it is a GHS label Distributor 10

11 Effective Completion Date June 1, 2016 Transition Period: 12/2012 to the effective completion dates noted above Requirement(s) Update alternative workplace labeling and hazard communication program as necessary, and provide additional employee training for newly identified hazards [and affected vertical standard specific signage] May comply with either MIOSHA Part 42, 92 and 430 (final standard), or the current standard, or both Responsible Party Employer Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers 11

12 Classifications Comparisons Definitions 12

13 Health Hazard Categories Physical Hazard Categories Environmental Hazard Categories 13

14 HazCom 1994 All hazards to be evaluated. Comprehensive communication program to transmit information. Preempt state laws. HazCom 2012 All hazards to be classified. Other provisions the same. Language regarding preemption was clarified. 14

15 HazCom 1994 Includes specific definitions for terms used in the standard, as well as all physical hazards. HazCom 2012 Physical hazard definitions removed from paragraph (C), and placed in a new Appendix B on physical hazard classification criteria. Terms deleted include: Flashpoint, Hazard Warning, MSDS. 15

16 HazCom 1994 Performance-oriented Definitions in paragraph (c), Appendices A and B Appendix B parameters for evaluating data Floor of chemicals considered hazardous Standardized mixture cutoff rules HazCom 2012 Specific and detailed Concept of classification Each hazard class has detailed criteria to apply to data on the chemical No floor; based on weight of evidence Mixture rules are specific to each hazard class 16

17 Labels Overview 17

18 HAZCOM 1994 HazCom 2012 Shipped containers to be labeled with identity, appropriate hazard warnings, and responsible party. Performance-oriented, specifics left to discretion of chemical mfg. or importer. Shipped containers to be labeled with product identifier; signal word; hazard statement; pictograms; precautionary statements. Specifies info by hazard class and category. 11/12/

19 Product identifier Signal word Hazard statement(s) Pictogram(s) Precautionary statement(s) Name, address, and phone number of the responsible party 19

20 Shipping Labels Effective June 1, 2015 all shipping labels will be required to have all GHS label elements. 20

21 Shipping Container Label (55 gallon/200 liter drum) DOT Shipping Pictograms within DOT label Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s. (contains XYZ) UN /19/

22 DOT labels may take precedence over similar GHS pictograms for shipping containers. DOT does not have labels that correspond to the Health Hazard or the Acute Toxicity (less severe = exclamation mark). 22

23 Note: symbol, number, and border can be black or white Note for explosives, the symbol is to be replaced by the indication of compatibility group or to be left blank * if explosive is the subsidiary risk 23

24 Note for explosives, the symbol is to be replaced by the indication of compatibility group or to be left blank * if explosive is the subsidiary risk 24

25 25

26 OSHA is requiring red borders regardless of the shipment s destination. The red borders increase comprehensibility. Blank red diamonds are not permitted on a label. 26

27 These are words 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. 27

28 There are specific hazard statements that must appear on the label based on the chemical hazard classification. Examples: Flammable liquid and vapor Causes skin irritation May cause cancer 28

29 "Precautionary statement" means a phrase that describes recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical, or improper storage or handling. Precautionary statements can be found in Appendix C. 29

30 Product identification (i.e. name of product) Supplier identification: Address Telephone number 30

33 Secondary Containment and GHS vs. HazCom

34 What is Secondary Containment? 34

35 GHS & NFPA704 GHS and NFPA

36 Secondary Containment Labels Consistent with the revised HazCom standard. No conflicting hazard warnings or pictograms. May use written materials (e.g., signs, placards, etc.) in lieu of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers. Employer can use GHS compliant labels (same as shipping). 36
