Hazard Communication Training Program Prepared by CSU Health

Hazard Communication Training Program Prepared by CSU Health & Safety Consultation 1681 Campus Delivery Ft. Collins, CO 80523 -1681 (970) 491 -6151

OBJECTIVES: Review Hazard Communication (Haz. Com) program requirements Employee training on OSHA’s Hazard Communication (Haz. Com) Standard (29 CFR 1910. 1200) Overview of the changes to the Haz. Com standard enacted by Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Label requirments Pictograms New safety data sheet (SDS) format

Hazard Communication 1910. 1200 Intent - To provide employees with information to help them make knowledgeable decisions about chemical hazards in their workplace Employee “right to know”

Haz. Com: What it isn’t Does not apply to: - Hazardous waste - Tobacco - Wood products - Food, cosmetics - Alcohol beverages - Drugs - Radiation - Bio Hazards - Nuisance dusts

What about Consumer Products in the Workplace? OSHA does not require employers to maintain SDSs for household chemicals (i. e. consumer products) if they are used in the quantity and manner of normal household use Ex. Ajax, Simple Green, Whiteout, floorwax, Tide, WD -40, etc.

Standard Requirements • Written program for each location to cover issues of chemical safety and hazard communication (Haz. Com) • Labels to identify each chemical • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) now SDSs under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) • Safe work procedures/practices • Employee training on SDS information and safe chemical procedures and practices

Hazard Communication Manufacturer’s Responsibilities • Evaluate their chemicals for any potential hazard • Produce Safety Data Sheets (SDS) • Provide SDSs to distributors and importers of chemicals • Provide SDSs to Wholesalers & Retailers

Hazard Communication Employer Responsibilities • Inform Employees about any potential chemical hazards • Develop a written Haz. Com program: - Program Coordinator - List of Hazardous Chemicals - Safety Data Sheets - Container Labeling • Non-Routine Tasks • Training & Information • Contractors

Employee Training is Required • Upon initial employment • When a new hazardous product/chemical is introduced into the workplace • Change in process • As deemed necessary by supervision/management

Training Requirements Location of written plan & SDSs Methods to detect release of hazardous chemicals Physical & health hazards Measures employees can take to protect themselves Details of company Haz. Com program Labeling elements, SDS formatting, and pictograms

Hazard Communication for Multi. Employer Worksites Describe how employer will provide other employers with data on chemicals to which their employees may be exposed Methods to inform other employees of precautions to be taken Methods the employer will use to inform other employers of the labeling system used in the workplace

Hazard Communication Employee Responsibilities Follow safe practices Read labels & SDSs Wear appropriate PPE Follow specific requirements of company’s Haz. Com program Know emergency procedures

Chemical Classifications Chemicals are classified using a harmonized system that provides standardized language for: Health Hazard Categories Physical Hazard Categories Environmental Hazard Categories* *Not regulated by OSHA

Labels: Shipped Containers Label Must Contain: Product Identifier Signal Word Hazard Statement(s) Pictogram(s) Precautionary statement(s) Name, Address and Phone Number of Manufacturer, Importer or other responsible party www. osha. gov/Publications/Haz. Comm_Quick. Card_Labels. html

Labels: Shipping Container Label (55 gallon/200 liter drum) Effective June 1, 2015 all shipping labels will be required to have all GHS label elements Pictograms within DOT label DOT Shipping Flammable liquids, toxic, n. o. s. (contains XYZ) UN 1992

Labels: Pictograms There are 9 pictograms. Only 8 are regulated by OSHA Health Hazards Physical Hazards Environmental Hazards (Regulated by EPA) EPA

Labels: Pictograms – Health Hazards Skull and Crossbones Acute toxicity (Fatal or toxic) • • Acute = short-term effect • • Exclamation Mark Acute toxicity (harmful): Irritant (skin and eye) Skin sensitizer Narcotic effects Respiratory tract irritant

Labels: Pictograms – Health Hazards Corrosion • • • Skin corrosion/burns Eye damage Corrosive to metals Health Hazard • • • Carcinogen Mutagenicity Respiratory sensitizer Reproductive toxicity Target organ toxicity Aspiration toxicity

Labels: Pictograms – Physical Hazards Exploding Bomb • • • Explosives Self-reactives Organic peroxides Flame • • • Flammables Pyrophorics Self-heating Emits flammable gas Self-reactives Organic peroxides

Labels: Pictograms – Physical Hazards Gas Cylinder • Gases under pressure Flame over Circle • Oxidizer

Labels: Signal Word These are words used to indicate the severity of the hazard and alert employees to the potential hazard Only 2 signal words will appear: “DANGER” (more severe hazard) “WARNING” (less severe hazard) Not all labels will have a signal word Some chemicals are not hazardous enough to require that a signal word appear on the label

Labels: Hazard Statement Describes the nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard For example: “Causes damage to kidneys through prolonged or repeated exposure when absorbed through the skin. ” All of the applicable hazard statements must appear on the label Hazard statements are specific to the hazard classification categories; chemical users should always see the same statement for the same hazards no matter what the chemical is or who produces it

Labels: Precautionary Statements Recommended measures related to: Prevention Response Storage Disposal Examples: Wear respiratory protection Wash with soap and water Store in a well ventilated place Not a mandate for employers/employees to follow

Product identification (i. e. name of product) Supplier identification required components include: Address Telephone number Label: Identification

Label: Other information that may be included on the label: Physical state Color Hazards not otherwise classified Route of exposure Storage and disposal Hazard prevention and emergency response instructions

Label: Sample Can you identify each label component? Pictograms (Flammable and Acute Toxicity – Severe) Toxi. Flam (Contains: XYZ) Product Identifier Signal Word Danger! Hazard Statements Toxic If Swallowed, Flammable Liquid and Vapor Do not eat, drink or use tobacco when using this product. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. 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. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Store in cool/well-ventilated place. IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CONTROL CENTER or doctor/physician. Rinse mouth. Precautionary In case of fire, use water fog, dry chemical, CO 2, or "alcohol" foam.

Labels: Secondary Containers Must be consistent with the revised Haz. Com standard No conflicting hazard warnings or pictograms May use written materials (e. g. , signs, placards, etc. ) in lieu of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers Employer can use GHS compliant labels (same as shipping)

Labels: Secondary Containers Workplace labels for secondary containers do not need to include all of the information required for manufacturer labels At a minimum secondary labels should contain the following: Identity of the hazardous chemical(s) contained therein; and An appropriate hazard warning

Labels: Secondary Containers The following are examples of appropriate hazard warnings: Hazard statement Precautionary statement Signal word Pictures Symbols Pictograms Or a combination thereof

Safety Data Sheets Under the new Haz. Com Standard, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are now called Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) All SDSs will have a consistent 16 -section format Employers must ensure that SDSs are readily accessible to employees Safety Material Data Safety Sheets Data Sheets
