DESCRIPTION
Background – The original HCS was issued by OSHA in It required manufacturers to evaluate the hazards, label the containers and provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Those pieces of the HCS have been updated, and will be discussed in this training. Some of the unchanged provisions of the HCS include the requirements for a chemical inventory and the requirements for a Written Hazard Communication Program Old Hazard Communication Standard

Background – The original HCS was issued by OSHA in 1994. It required manufacturers to evaluate the hazards, label the containers and provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Those pieces of the HCS have been updated, and will be discussed in this training.
Some of the unchanged provisions of the HCS include the requirements for a chemical inventory and the requirements for a Written Hazard Communication Program
Old Hazard Communication Standard
If you have never had Hazard Communication training, you should take the following course (as well as this one):
http://www.lni.wa.gov/Safety/Topics/AtoZ/Hazcom/default.asp
This course is provided by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries.
Old Hazard Communication Training
This is an updated OSHA standard International approach Standardized approach to classifying chemical hazards Based on major existing systems around the world.
HCS 2012
Ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified
Ensure that the information on these hazards is transmitted to employers and employees
Intended to be consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
Why/Benefits
The transmission of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive hazard communication programs which are to include container labeling, pictograms and other forms of warning, safety data sheets (SDS) and employee training
Also helps to reduce trade barriers Productivity improvements for American businesses
that have international components
Why/Benefits (cont.)
Training – by December 1, 2013 Labeling – including pictograms Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Hazard Classification
HCS 2012 Major Changes
As of June 1, 2015 all labels will be required to have the following:
Pictograms Signal Word Hazard and precautionary statements Product identifier Supplier Identification
Labeling
Label Example
As of June 1, 2015, the HCS will require pictograms on labels to alert users of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed.
Each pictogram consists of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border and represents a distinct hazard.
The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard classification.
There are 9 different pictograms.
Pictograms

• As of June 1, 2015, chemical manufacturers, distributors or importers are required to provide SDS to communicate the hazards of hazardous chemical products.
• SDS – formerly Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs • New SDSs will be in a uniform format with 16 sections with
standard headings • Laboratory employers that ship hazardous chemicals must
provide a SDS with the shipment. This also applies to newly synthesized and uncharacterized chemicals:

Manufacturers are still responsible for determining the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import.
Classification is based on the full range of available information. The procedures for determining if the manufacturer has properly performed the hazard classification are provided in Appendix A (health) and Appendix B (physical).
Placing a chemical into a "hazard class", and where necessary, a "hazard category", is the concept of classification - determining not only the hazard, but the severity of the effect.
Hazard Classification:
Appendix A – Health hazard criteria Appendix B – Physical hazard criteria Hazard Class – the nature of the physical or health
hazard Hazard Category – the division of the criteria within
each hazard class◦ Categories compare hazard severity within the class
Hazard Criteria, Class and Category

Category Criteria for Flammable Liquid1 Flash point < 23°C (73.4°F) and initial boiling point ≤ 35°C (95°F)
2 Flash point < 23°C (73.4°F) and initial boiling point > 35°C (95°F)
3 Flash point ≥ 23°C (73.4°F) and ≤ 60°C (140°F)
4 Flash point > 60°C (140°F) and ≤ 93°C (199.4°F)
Criteria for Flammable Liquids
Many other OSHA standards contain criteria related to defining hazards, as well as other provisions that rely on those criteria.
OSHA undertook a comprehensive review of its rules to identify what needed to be changed.
OSHA has proposed modifications to all of those standards that it determined needed to be consistent with the GHS.
