December 1, 2013 Training Deadline
Hazard Communication
@WorkplaceAnswer#WorkSafely
HCS Meets GHS
Aligning with The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
Training is required to understand significant changes to:
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) (formerly MSDS), labeling, and other forms of hazard communication
One of OSHA’s goals: …to evolve from the worker’s "right to know” to the
worker’s “right to understand."
@WorkplaceAnswer#WorkSafely
Why Change the Standard?
To increase the quality and consistency of information provided to workers, employers and chemical users labels include signal words, pictograms,
and hazard and precautionary statements
safety data sheets have standardized format
@WorkplaceAnswer#WorkSafely
Hazard classification: Provides specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures.
Labels: Include a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard and/or precautionary statement for each class and category.
Safety Data Sheets: Specified 16-section format. Information and training: All employers with hazardous
chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.
Major Changes
