PREPARATION SLIDE ONLY
Hazard Communications Training(Includes GHS Elements)
At The End of This Session You Will…
Understand OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard
Become familiar with product labels Know what a Safety Data Sheet is and where
to find the SDS book in your facility Learn when to use personal protective
equipment (PPE)
Hazard Communication Standard
The Goal of the Standard: To reduce injuries To make you aware of any
hazardous chemicals To ensure understanding regardless
of education and language To keep YOU safe!
Exercise
What type of hazards exist in our everyday lives?”
OSHA’s Haz Com Standard
Requirements of Every Facility: Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are on site for all
products Workers know where the SDS book is located All chemicals are properly labeled There is a written Hazard Communication
program in your facility Training is provided
Moving On…
Understand OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard
Become familiar with product labels Know what an SDS is and where to find them
in your facility Learn when to use personal protective
equipment (PPE)
Primary Product Labels
Must Include: Product Identifier Supplier Information Signal Word Hazard Pictogram Hazard Statement Precautionary Statement
May Include: Supplemental Information
Product Label Elements Example
Labels: Product Identifier and Supplier Information
Product Identifier: The Name of the Product Supplier Information:
Company Name Address Telephone Number
Labels: Signal Word
Signal Word Quickly Communicates the Relative Severity of the 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
Labels: Pictograms
There are 9 pictograms. Only 8 are regulated by OSHA Health Hazards Physical Hazards Environmental Hazards (Not regulated by OSHA)
Health Hazard Pictograms
!Skin corrosion/burns, eye damagecorrosive to metals
Acute toxicity,fatal or toxic
Carcinogen, mutagenicity,Reproductive toxicity, respiratory sensitizer, target organ toxicity, aspiration toxicity
Irritant, skin sensitizer,acute toxicity, narcoticeffects, respiratory tract irritant, hazard to ozone layer
Physical Hazards Pictograms
FlammablesSelf reactivesPyrophoricsSelf heatingEmits flammable gasOrganic peroxides
ExplosivesSelf reactivesOrganic peroxides
Corrosive to Metals
Gases under Pressure
Oxidizer
Labels: Hazard Statement
"Hazard statement" means a statement assigned to a hazard class that describes the nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the hazard category (degree of hazard).
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
Hazard Class
Hazard Class The nature of the physical or health hazards Examples: flammable solid, carcinogen, oral acute
toxicity
Hazard Category
Hazard Category Degree of Hazard
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 1 – Most Severe; 4 – Least Severe
Example: Hazard Class: Flammable liquids Hazard Categories
1: Extremely flammable liquid and vapor 2: Highly flammable liquid and vapor 3: Flammable liquid and vapor 4: Combustible liquid
Label: Precautionary Statements
"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.
Examples: Wear respiratory protection Wash with soap and water Store in a well ventilated place
Precautionary Statements Additional Information
Precautionary Statements are not necessarily a mandate for employees to follow.
The employer is to evaluate the precautionary statements to determine if these need to be followed by employees. This decision may be based on several factors:
How chemical used Where it is used (ventilation concerns) How much of the chemical is used (quantity) Air sampling or testing results (permissible exposure limits) How long the chemical is used (time) Other considerations
Precautionary Statement Employer Evaluation Example
A precautionary statement may state “Wear respiratory protection”
Employees may not be required to wear a respirator based on the employer’s evaluation of the factors previously listed (how, where, how much, time)
Label: Supplemental / Other Information (Discretionary) Other information that may be included on
the label: Physical state Color Hazards not otherwise classified Route of exposure Storage and disposal Hazard prevention and emergency response
instructions
Current Label Example
New Label Example - DRAFT
Labels: Product In Use in the Workplace
Workplace Labels Must Be Consistent with the HCS 2012
Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals
May Use Signal Word, Hazard Statement, Pictograms, Precautionary Statement from Original Product Label
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)

Safety Data Sheets
A SDS is a document which contains important information about a product
SDSs are required from all manufacturers Every facility must have a SDS for each chemical used SDSs may look different from one company to another,
but they all contain the required information The differences are “look” only Must follow a specific 16 part format
SDSs explain how to protect yourself from hazards SDSs must be kept up to date
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs)

2. Hazard(s) Identification
3. Composition/Ingredient Information
4. First-aid Measures
5. Fire-fighting Measures
6. Accidental Release Measures

equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment
How Can a Chemical Enter Your Body? Through your skin
Cleaning a hard surface with your hands Through your eyes
Pouring and splashing chemical Through your mouth
Touching your mouth with dirty hands Through inhalation
Spraying a cleaner in a small area
Personal Protective Equipment
What PPE can you use to protect yourself? Skin Wear gloves Eyes Wear safety glasses Mouth Wash your hands frequently Inhalation Avoid using a product in small
areas or wear a mask The SDS Will Identify the PPE to Use
Additional Safety Information
Remember–one of the goals of the program is to reduce injuries!
It is the employee’s right to know what products may contain hazards.
Employee’s need to know where the SDS book is located.
It is the employee's responsibility to wear the PPE.
Additional Safety Information
Here’s How You Can Help Be Safe Never mix chemicals Make sure your gloves fit properly and do not
have any holes or tears Make sure your safety glasses fit properly Wash your hands frequently, especially after
using chemicals Report any warning symptoms Report any unusual odors or missing labels
