Globally Harmonized System(GHS)

1. Globally Harmonized System(GHS) Awareness and Understanding the Changes to the Right to Know Standard and to Material Safety Data Sheets

2. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) Training Objectives • Upon completing this training module, the colleague will: • Cite the change of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) to Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) • Describe the type of information the colleague would expect to find on new chemical labels • Define the new SDS format, including the type of information found in the various SDS sections • Indicate how information on the chemical label is related to the SDS

3. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) changing to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) What you have to know: • One Name Change • Two Significant Updates • MSDS is changing to SDS (Safety Data Sheet) • There are new labeling elements required • SDS will be a standardized format Name Change – New Labeling – SDS Standard Format

4. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) New Label Elements • Product Identifier – can be Chemical Name, Code Number or Batch Number • Product Identifier MUST be on both the Label and Section 1 of the SDS • Signal Word – indicates the level of hazard • Only one of TWO words will be used • DANGER – more severe hazard • WARNING – less severe hazard • Pictograms - there are 9 Pictograms designated by OSHA to be used on the SDSs

5. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) OSHA’s Pictograms

6. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) New Label Elements • Hazard Statements – will describe the nature and degree of the hazard. • Hazard Statement MUST appear on the label • Precautionary Statements – a phrase which recommends measures to take in order to minimize or prevent adverse effects from exposure, or improper storage or handling • Contact - Name, Address and Phone Number of Manufacturer, Distributor, or Importer

7. Read the Labels – Know the Hazard!

8. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) How You Might Use the Labels at Work… • Labels will offer proper storage information • Labels will provide the contact information for the manufacturer, distributor or importer (can be used to obtain the SDS if needed) • Labels provide ALL of the hazard statements for the chemical • Labels will provide FIRST AID information that can be used by emergency responders and healthcare workers

9. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) How the Elements on the Label Work Together • A chemical with multiple hazards may show multiple pictograms, one for each hazard • If a chemical has similar Precautionary Statements, the statement with the most protective information will be used • Hazard Statements are specific to the hazard, the same statement will be used for the same hazard regardless of the chemical • There will only be ONE Signal Word on a label, even if there are multiple hazards - the most RESTRICTIVE Signal Word will be shown

10. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) The New SDS (Safety Data Sheet) • As of June 1, 2015 SDSs are to be in a uniform format, and include section numbers, headings, and associated information • Each SDS will have the same 16 sections, with sections 12, 13, 14, and 15 being regulated by other agencies and not enforced by OSHA • For St. Mary Medical Center, MSDSs and the new SDSs will all be available at “MSDSonline” which you can easily reach through the SMMC Links portal

11. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) The New SDS • The new standard SDS format will include the following 16 sections: • Section 1, Identification includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use. • Section 2, Hazard(s) identification includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements. • Section 3, Composition/information on ingredients includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims. • Section 4, First-aid measures includes important symptoms/ effects, acute, delayed; required treatment. • Section 5, Fire-fighting measures lists suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment; chemical hazards from fire. • Section 6, Accidental release measures lists emergency procedures; protective equipment; proper methods of containment and cleanup. • Section 7, Handling and storage lists precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities.

12. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) The New SDS • Section 8, Exposure controls/personal protection lists OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs); Threshold Limit Values (TLVs); appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment (PPE). • Section 9, Physical and chemical properties lists the chemical's characteristics. • Section 10, Stability and reactivity lists chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reactions. • Section 11, Toxicological information includes routes of exposure; related symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of toxicity. • Section 12, Ecological information (not OSHA enforced, other agency) • Section 13, Disposal considerations (not OSHA enforced, other agency) • Section 14, Transport information (not OSHA enforced, other agency) • Section 15, Regulatory information (not OSHA enforced, other agency) • Section 16, Other information, includes the date of preparation or last revision.

13. Every SDS will have the same 16 sections – got that? Both current MSDSs and new SDSs will continue to be available at MSDSonline

14. OSHA’s Change to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) How Information on the Label is Related to the SDS • Precautionary statements are the same on the Label and the SDS • Product Identifier on the Label MUST be the same as Section 1 of the SDS • All Hazards listed on the SDS will also be shown on the product Label • Every Label will include the same contact information that is listed on the SDS

15. Sample Safety Data Sheet Sample here shows the first page, section 1 through section 6 of a Safety Data Sheet. Note that all sections are clearly numbered and clearly labeled. In addition, sections are clearly broken down into easily understood sub-sections. Remember, all SDSs will have 16 numbered sections, and all sections will be consistent as to the name of each section. This is the Globally Harmonized System for Safety Data Sheets!
