CESA 10 Environmental Health and Safety Program

Summer 2013

For employees who work with hazardous chemicals Will cover requirements for ◦ New label elements ◦ Safety data sheet (SDS) format

Education. Action. Compliance.


Over the years it became clear elements of the rule

were in need of improvement 2006 OSHA began the process of updating the rule 2012 OSHA published revisions of the standard These changes are bringing the United States into

alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals or GHS

Four main areas of changes including: Hazard classification Labels Safety Data Sheets Information and training


Old HazCom Standard ◦ Performance-oriented ◦ Evaluator decides if product meets definition of hazard ◦ Evaluation of parameters are not specific or detailed

New HazCom Standard ◦ Specific criteria for each health and physical hazard ◦ Determinations for coverage of mixtures and substances ◦ Establishes defined hazard classes and categories ◦ Class = hazard type / Category = hazard severity


Health Hazards *Acute toxicity *Reproductive toxicity *Skin corrosion/irritation *Specific target organ toxicity

single exposure *Serious eye damage/eye irritation *Specific target organ toxicity

repeated or prolonged exposure *Respiratory or skin sensitization *Aspiration hazard *Germ cell mutagenicity *Simple asphyxiant –

OSHA defined hazard *Carcinogenicity

Physical Hazards *Explosives *Organic peroxides *Flammable gases *Corrosive to metals *Flammable aerosols *Pyrophoric liquids *Flammable liquids *Pyrophoric solids *Flammable solids *Pyrophoric gas – OSHA defined

water, emit flammable gases *Gases under pressure *Combustible dust – OSHA defined

An adverse physical or health effect that does not meet

the criteria for one of the physical and health hazards already defined

In essence, this definition requires classifiers who find “scientific evidence” that a chemical can cause death, illness, or injury to workers in a way not currently covered by the GHS classification criteria to disclose that fact on the SDS.

Also known as the acronym – HNOC Listed on SDS – yes; listed on label - no

One of two words, used to indicate the relative lever of

severity of hazard Alert the reader to potential hazard on the label ◦ Danger – more severe ◦ Warning – less severe

◦ Caution (OSHA) – “Caution “ is not a signal work under revised

HazCom ◦ Caution (EPA) – “Caution” is still used under EPA rules for

pesticide labels


Statement assigned to a hazard class and category Describes hazard Some examples ◦ “May cause or intensify fire; oxidizer” ◦ “Heating may cause a fire or explosion” ◦ “Fatal if swallowed” ◦ “Causes skin irritation” ◦ “May cause cancer <…>”


Recommended measures to minimize or prevent

adverse effects ◦ Exposure ◦ Storage or handling

Four types of precautionary statements ◦ Prevention ◦ Response ◦ Storage ◦ Disposal


The label must include: ◦ Product identifier ◦ Signal word ◦ Hazard statement(s) ◦ Pictogram(s) ◦ Precautionary statement(s) ◦ Name, address, and telephone number of responsible party

Legible, in English and prominently displayed. Labels in other languages may be added.

Use only outdoors or in a

well-ventilated area.

If inhaled: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.
