Align w/ Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Common/coherent approach to classify chemicals Improve quality/consistency of hazard ID Reduce confusion/increase hazard comprehension Facilitate training Address literacy problems Other Reduce trade barriers Reduce cost to American businesses
Manufacturers, Distributors, Importers Change SDS info/format Change container labeling Employers SDS Container labels Employees Info in new SDS format Pictograms on container labels Precautionary/hazard statements
Purpose Definitions Hazard Classification Labels and Other Forms of Warning Safety Data Sheets Employee Information and Training Effective Dates Appendices (A-F)
All hazards are to be classified Uses a prescriptive classification instead of performance-oriented approach Physical Hazard Health Hazard Environmental Hazard
Relocated Physical hazards now in App. B Deleted Material safety data sheet Revised/New Chemical, Hazardous Chemical, Health Hazard, Mixture, Physical Hazard, Label, Pyrophoric Classification, Hazard Category, Hazard Class, Pictogram, SDS, Substance, Precautionary Statement
Specific and detailed Classification v. determination Identify: hazard class under health, physical and environmental Categorize: hazard categories (severity) Inform: place hazard info for each class/category on label and in SDS Hazard class has detailed criteria No minimum concentration Mixture rules specific to each hazard class
Categories 1-4 (Most severe to least) Different than other systems New hazards Simple asphyxiants Pyrophoric gases Combustible dust Hazards not otherwise classified
Material Safety Data Sheets to Safety Data Sheets Ensure employee training on new SDS and label elements conducted
Shipped containers to be labeled with: Product Identifier Signal Word Hazard Statement Pictograms Precautionary Statements Responsible Party
Danger (more severe) Warning (less severe)
Describe hazards associated w/ chemical Flammable liquid and vapor Causes skin irritation May cause cancer
Describe recommend measures related to: Prevention Response Storage Disposal Examples Wear respiratory protection Store in a well ventilated place Not a mandate for employers/employees to follow
Symbol plus other graphic elements intended to convey hazards MIOSHA adopted 8 or 9 All must have red borders All must have pictogram (no blanks)
Skull and Crossbones Acute Toxicity (fatal or toxic) Exclamation Mark Irritant, Skin Sensitizer, Acute Toxicity (harmful), Narcotic Effects, Respiratory Irritant Corrosion Skin Corrosion/Burns, Eye Damage, Corrosive to Metals
Health Hazard Carcinogen, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity, Respiratory Sensitizer, Target Organ Toxicity, Aspiration Toxicity Exploding Bomb Explosives, Self-Reactives, Organic Peroxides Flame Flammables, Pyrophorics, Self-Heating, Emits Flammable Gas, Self-Reactives, Organic Peroxides
Flame Over Circle Oxidizers Gas Cylinder Gases Under Pressure Environment (Non-Mandatory) Aquatic Toxicity
Still permitted Must be consistent w/ new rule No conflicting hazard warnings/pictograms May use written materials (signs, placards, etc.) in lieu of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers Employer can use GHS compliant labels (same as shipping)
Mandates 16 Sections MIOSHA will not enforce sections 12-15 (DEQ/EPA will) Headings Order of information What is included under headings
MSDS to SDS
Labels on shipped containers/workplace labels must be explained as well as SDS format Workers will have to be trained on format and content of: New labels New SDS
HazCom Training must include: Signal Words Pictograms Hazard classes/categories Physical, health, and not otherwise classified Labels received on shipped containers SDS Order/format of info
Hazardous work in labs Flammable liquids/combustibles Process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals (PSM) Hazardous waste and emergency response (HAZWOPER) Methylene Chloride 1,3-Butadiene
Signage Requirements Cadmium Lead Chromium (VI) Asbestos Carcinogens Inorganic Arsenic Benzene
Effective Completion Date Requirement Responsible Party December 1, 2013 June 1, 2015 Train employees on new label elements and SDS Compliance w/ all modified provisions of final rule except: Employer Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers December 1, 2015 The distributor shall not ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer unless it is a GHS label Distributor June 1, 2016 Update alternative workplace labeling and hazcom program as necessary, and provide additional employee training for newly identified hazards Employer
