Changes to Materials Data Safety Sheets (MSDS)

Changes to Materials Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals Training Program Gwinnett Hospital System Right-to-Know Training

Objectives After you finish the first section of this Computer-Based Learning (CBL) module, you should be able to: Define Globally Harmonized System. Describe the purpose and benefits of the Globally Harmonized System.

HAZCOM, Employee Right-to-Know Created by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Hazard Communication Standard (HAZCOM) and the Employee Right-to-Know Program require that: The hazards of all chemicals in the workplace are evaluated, and The information is shared with employees.

The Globally Harmonized System The Globally Harmonized System (GHS), created by OSHA, is: A new, international standard of classifying and labeling chemicals, and is Included in HAZCOM.

Globally Harmonized System When GHS Takes Effect Below are the effective dates for the Globally Harmonized System (GHS): Action Effective Date Employee training Dec. 1, 2013 Revised HAZCOM program Jan. 1, 2015 All Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) changed to Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Dec. 1, 2015 Any additional physical or health hazards identified by new labels or SDS for chemicals will require employee training, changes to workplace labeling, and HAZCOM updates. June 1, 2016

Container Labeling

Container Labeling Objectives After you finish the Safety Data Sheets section of this CBL, you should be able to: Describe how to use a container label to identify a product and its hazards. Describe actions to protect yourself from chemical exposure and spills. Express your rights to be informed and to understand chemical hazards in your workplace.

Container Labeling Purpose Reasons for the changes in container labeling include: To make the format of labels worldwide the same (to harmonize them). To provide a standard way of telling readers about hazards. To create quick access to hazard information. To make the labels easier to understand.

Container Labeling Requirements Labels for hazardous chemical containers must include: Product identifier Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Pictogram Name, address and telephone number

Container Labeling Product Identifier The product identifier tells readers how the hazardous chemical is identified: By chemical name, trade name, etc. The product identifier must be the same on the label as in Section 1 of the SDS.

Product identifier: How the chemical is identified. Danger! Toxic If Swallowed Flammable Liquid and Vapor Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s. (contains toluene) Tricoat 235 Sealant Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame. - No smoking. Wear protective gloves and eye/face protection. Ground container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Store in well-ventilated place IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CONTROL CENTER or doctor/physician. Rinse mouth. In case of fire, use water fog, dry chemical, CO 2, or "alcohol" foam. See Safety Data Sheet for further details regarding safe use of this product. J.J. Chemical Company, Elizabeth, NJ 13432, Tel: 444 223-1122

Container Labeling Signal Word The signal word: Alerts reader to a potential hazard, and Indicates the relative level of severity of hazard. There are only two signal words: Danger : used for more severe hazards, or Warning : used for less severe hazards. Only one signal word appears on the label. If a substance contains both a Danger chemical and a Warning chemical, only Danger appears on the label.

Signal word: Danger" or Warning Danger! Toxic If Swallowed Flammable Liquid and Vapor Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s. (contains toluene) Tricoat 235 Sealant Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame. - No smoking.

Container Labeling Hazard Statement The hazard statement tells readers about hazards of a chemical and the degree of the hazard. Example: Causes damage to kidneys through prolonged exposure when absorbed through the skin. If a hazard statements applies to the chemical, it must appear on the container label.

Container Labeling Hazard Statement, continued Hazard statements may be combined to make them easier to read. Hazard statements are specific to the hazard classification categories. Readers should always see the same statement for the same hazard, no matter what the chemical is or who produces it.

Hazard statement: Assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the hazard of a chemical and, where appropriate, the degree of hazard. Danger! Toxic If Swallowed Flammable Liquid and Vapor Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s. (contains toluene) Tricoat 235 Sealant Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame. - No smoking. Wear protective gloves and eye/face protection. Ground container and receiving equipment.

Chemical Company, Elizabeth, NJ 13432, Tel: 444 223-1122

Container Labeling Precautionary Statements The precautionary statement is a phrase that tells readers about ways to prevent unwanted effects, or reduce them as much as possible, from: Exposure to a chemical, or Improper storage or handling. When there is more than one precautionary statement for a chemical, the label includes only the statement that provides the most protection against undesired effects. Precautionary statements must be the same on the label as in the SDS.

Precautionary statement: Measures to minimize or prevent adverse effects from exposure, improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical. Danger! Toxic If Swallowed Flammable Liquid and Vapor Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s. (contains toluene) Tricoat 235 Sealant Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product.

Protect Yourself Remember that you can protect yourself by: Knowing what is in the product with which you are working. Unsure? Check the SDS. Keep your work area in a way that minimizes hazards. Keep machines and equipment working to prevent leaks. Using the right personal protective equipment (PPE).

Protect Yourself Spills In case of a spill, protect yourself! Tell your supervisor about strange odors, spills or releases, and Leave the area of any chemical release/ spill and meet at a pre-arranged place. Supervisor looks up the SDS for further reference.

Protect Yourself In Case of Chemical Exposure If you have been exposed to a chemical and feel sick: Let your supervisor know. Tell your supervisor what chemical you were working with. Move to an area of fresh air. Follow the first aid directions in the SDS. Get medical attention as needed.

You Have a Right to Be Informed It is your right to be informed and to understand chemical hazards in your workplace.
