Old Label Definition
• Any written, printed, or graphic material displayed on or affixed to containers of hazardous chemicals
![Page 3: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
New Label Definition
• Appropriate group of written, printed or graphic information elements concerning hazardous product, selected as relevant to target sector (s), that is affixed to, printed on, or attached to immediate container of hazardous product, or to outside packaging of hazardous product
![Page 4: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Old Label Elements
• Shipped containers labeled with• Product ID• Appropriate hazard warnings• Name & address of chemical manufacturer, importer, or
other responsible party• Performance-oriented specifics left to discretion of
chemical manufacturer or importer
![Page 5: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
New Label Elements
• Shipped containers labeled with• Product ID• Signal word• Hazard statement(s)• Pictograms• Precautionary statements• Product & supplier identification
• Specifies information by hazard class & category
![Page 6: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Signal Words
• Word used to indicate relative level of severity of hazard & alert reader to potential hazard on label
• “Danger”• More severe hazard categories (hazard categories 1 & 2)
• “Warning”• Less severe hazard categories (hazard categories 3 & 4)
![Page 7: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hazard Statements
• Phrase assigned to hazard class & category that describes nature of hazards of hazardous product, including, where appropriate, degree of hazard• May be fatal if swallowed & enters airways• Explosive; mass explosion hazard• Extremely flammable liquid & vapor• Heating may cause a fire• Fatal in contact with skin
![Page 8: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Precautionary Statements
• Phrase (&/or pictogram) that describes recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to hazardous product, or improper storage or handling of hazardous product• Wear protective gloves/protective clothing• Do not breathe dusts or mists• Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of
workplace
![Page 9: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Product Identifier
• Should be used on label & should match product identifier used on SDS
• Where substance or mixture covered by DOT, Proper Shipping Name should also be used on package
• Label for substance should include chemical identity of substance
![Page 10: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Product Identifier
• Mixtures or alloys• Label should include chemical identities of all ingredients or
alloying elements that contribute to acute toxicity, skin corrosion or serious eye damage, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity… when these hazards appear on label
• Alternatively, may require inclusion of all ingredients or alloying elements that contribute to hazard of mixture or alloy
![Page 11: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Workplace Labeling
• Products will carry HazCom 2012 label at point where supplied into workplace, & label should be maintained on supplied container in workplace
• HazCom 2012 label or label elements should also be used for workplace containers
![Page 12: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Workplace Labeling
• Alternative means of giving workers same information in different written or displayed format when such format more appropriate to workplace & communicates information as effectively as HazCom 2012 label• Label information could be displayed in work area, rather
than on individual containers• Usually where hazardous chemicals transferred from
original supplier container into workplace container or system
![Page 13: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Workplace Labeling
• Often impractical to produce complete HazCom 2012 label & attach to container, due to container size limitations or lack of access to process container• Temporary containers where chemical will be used by one
worker within short timeframe• Decanted chemicals intended for immediate use could be
labeled with main components & directly refer user to supplier label information & SDS
![Page 14: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Workplace Labeling
• HazCom 2012 maintains flexible approach to workplace labels in current rule, i.e., HazCom 2012 label doesn’t have to be on all workplace containers
• Workplace labels will have to be reviewed to make sure still convey correct hazards & other information when new requirements implemented
![Page 15: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Workplace Labeling
• In Appendix C, OSHA indicated by hazard class & hazard category label elements that must be on label
• Appendix C is basically cookbook approach to labeling; once classification of hazards is complete, Appendix C to be consulted to determine how to convey required information
![Page 16: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Labels
• In past, was common to use NFPA or HMIS labels for secondary containers
• New labeling requirements go further, requiring• Name of substance• GHS signal word• GHS Hazard & Precautionary Statements• GHS pictograms
![Page 17: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Labels
• Old labeling formats (NFPA, HMIS)• “0” rating means least hazardous• “4” rating being most hazardous
• GHS is opposite• “1” classification most hazardous• “4” being least hazardous
![Page 18: Labels](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816733550346895ddbdf37/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
