Hazard Communication System◦ OSHA estimates:

7 million workplaces 100 million employees 945,000 hazardous chemical products

HAZCOM

All employees will be trained in the safe use of all chemicals used in the workplace!

This training will be refreshed on a yearly basis or when a new

Chemical or process is introduced

04/12/2023jars inc.

Hazard Communication

sds sheets will be kept in the store or on line for all chemicals used in our operation and updated on a regular basis to satisfy the employees’ right to know

Retraining will take place when a new chemical or procedure is introduced

any questions as to interpretation of sds sheets may be directed to the safety manager

An inventory shall be supplied upon request

04/12/2023jars inc.

No new chemicals will be introduced into the operation without an safety data sheet and not without approval of the operator/ safety manager.

Use of consumer style products is highly discouraged and may be construed as a violation of safety standards according to usage

04/12/2023jars inc.

sds sheets = maintained by the safety manager

Chemicals shall kept in their original container or properly labeled spray bottle.

Read the label before use make sure the chemical is designed for the task at hand.

Any non-routine task will require a special training session by a qualified person.

04/12/2023jars inc.

Check labels for any personal protective equipment needed!

The use of unlabeled spray bottles is PROHIBITED!

labels will not be removed or defaced

04/12/2023jars inc.

All chemicals shall be stored in a designated place away from food prep areas ,intense heat sources food containers or open flames.

sds sheets for fire extinguishers and compressed gases will be kept at the main office.

04/12/2023jars inc.

DO NOT MIX ANY TWO CHEMICALS TOGETHER. THE RESULTS CAN BE DEADLY!!

LABELING CHANGES

HAZCOM vs GHS

Standards will be more pictogram based as opposed to word based

HAZCOM vs GHS

Information from the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) /Purple Book

ONE EXAMPLE

Signal Words / Hazard Pictograms

HAZCOM vs GHS

Signal Words◦ The words “Danger” and “Warning” are being used as

signal words to emphasize the hazard and indicate the relative level of the severity of the hazard as assigned by a GHS hazard class and category

Danger – For more “severe” hazards

Warning – For less “severe” hazards

HAZCOM vs GHS

Examples of GHS Pictograms

HAZCOM vs GHS

Information from the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) /Purple Book

Hazard & Precautionary Statements◦ Hazard statements have been standardized and given

phrases that describe the hazard(s) as found in the hazard classification

◦ If there is more than one hazard, then the appropriate hazard statement should be included for all identified hazards

HAZCOM vs GHS

Pictograms, Signal Words and Hazard Statements

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data SheetsHAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ Under GHS, (Material) Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

will be in a common format for all materials which require a SDS

◦ The format is intended to provide an easier to read document and allow for quicker identification of hazards and dangers of a product

◦ The SDS should contain 16 headings and is derived as a combination of document formats from ISO – International Organization of Standardization EU – European Union ANSI – American National Standards Institute

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ The minimum recommended information includes:

Section 1 – Identification of the substance or mixture and the supplier GHS Product Identifier Recommended uses Supplier details (address, phone number) Emergency phone numbers

Section 2 – Hazard identification GHS classification of the substance/mixture GHS label elements (precautionary statements, hazard

symbols) Other hazards not classified by GHS (ie dust explosion

hazard)

The new format

Safety Data Sheets◦ The minimum recommended information includes:

Section 3 – Composition / Ingredients Chemical Identity – common name, synonyms, CAS

number, impurities/stablizers, concentrations or concentration ranges

Section 4 – First Aid First aid measures based on the different routes of

exposure, most important symptoms/effects, indication of immediate medical attention if necessary

Section 5 – Firefighting Suitable / unsuitable extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for

firefighters

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ The minimum recommended information includes:

Section 6 – Accidental Release Personal precautions, environmental precautions and

containment / cleanup materials and methods Section 7 – Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage

Section 8 - Exposure controls Control parameters, engineering controls and individual

protective measures – PPE

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ The minimum recommended information includes:

Section 9 – Physical / Chemical Properties Properties about the material (e.g. state, appearance,

odor, pH, flash point, vapor density, etc) Section 10 – Stability / Reactivity

Chemical stability, reaction possibilities, conditions to avoid, incompatibilities, decomposition products

Section 11 – Toxicological Information Likely routes of exposure Symptoms associated with physical, chemical and

toxicological characteristics Numerical measures of toxicity

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ The minimum recommended information includes:

Section 12 – Ecological Information Aquatic / Soil Toxicity Persistence and degradability Bioaccumulation potential

Section 13 – Disposal Recommended disposal methods

Section 14 – Transportation UN Number, Proper Shipping Name, Hazard Class,

Packing Group Marine Pollutant (Yes/No) Special Precautions

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ The minimum recommended information includes:

Section 15 – Regulatory Information Regulatory bodies that govern the chemical / mixtures

(e.g. SARA, TCSC, FIFRA) Section 16 – Other Information

Preparation and revisions on SDS should be in this section

HAZCOM vs GHS

Safety Data Sheets◦ With uniform data fields and common terminology,

information can easily be found on the sheets◦ Worker understanding of the dangers will also be easier

to define

HAZCOM vs GHS

Training◦ Under the current hazard communication system,

employers are required to train employees on the hazard associated with products

◦ Right-to-Know stations must be provided◦ GHS does not change this requirement and

stresses the importance of training for employees◦ The GHS harmonization with labels / SDS

/terminology is intended to make training easier for all

Labels

Employers are responsible for maintaining the labels on the containers, including, but not limited to, tanks, totes, drums, and for training their employees on the hazards listed on the labels in the workplace.

Labels must continue to be: legible contain the pertinent information (such as the

hazards and directions for use)not able to be defaced, (i.e., fade, get washed

off,) or removed in any way as stated in revised Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(9)
