New Labeling and Safety Data Sheet SDS Requirements

New Labeling and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Requirements OSHA estimates the prevention of 43 fatalities and 585 injuries and illnesses (318 non-lost-workday injuries and illnesses, 203 lost-workday injuries and illnesses, and 64 chronic illnesses) annually.

Manufacturers and importers: Classify chemical hazards Provide labels and SDSs

Labels are not intended to be the sole source of information Labeling overview Labels serve as an immediate warning Containers need labels Pipes, fuel tanks, engines are not containers Labels warn of potential dangers

Labeling overview While Haz. Com 2012 is phased in, you will still see labels meeting previous rule:

Labeling - shipped containers Pictogram (symbol to show hazard class) Product identifier (matches SDS and list) Signal word (Danger = severe hazard; Warning = less severe) Hazard statement (based on hazard class and category) Precautionary statement (for safe use, storage, etc. ) Name, address, phone number of manufacturer, importer, or responsible party to contact for emergency information

Labeling - shipped containers

Labeling - shipped containers Flame Over Circle • Oxidizers Flame • • • Flammables Self-reactives Pyrophorics Self-heating Emits flammable gas • Organic peroxides Exploding Bomb • Explosives • Self-reactives • Organic peroxides

Labeling - shipped containers Skull and Crossbones • Acute toxicity (severe/deadly) Corrosion Gas Cylinder • Skin corrosion; • Gases under burns pressure • Eye damage • Corrosive to metals

Labeling - shipped containers Health Hazard • Carcinogen • Respiratory Sensitizer • Reproductive Toxicity • Target organ toxicity • Mutagenicity • Aspiration toxicity Exclamation Mark • Irritant • Dermal sensitizer • Acute toxicity (harmful) • Narcotic effects • Respiratory tract irritation Environmental • Environmental toxicity

Labeling - shipped containers OSHA-defined hazards - Simple asphyxiant: • No pictogram • Signal word = “WARNING” • Hazard statement = “May displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation”

Labeling - shipped containers OSHA-defined hazards - Combustible dust: • No pictogram • Signal word = “WARNING” • Hazard statement = “May form combustible dust concentrations in air”

Labeling - shipped containers OSHA-defined hazards - Pyrophoric gas: • Flame pictogram • Signal word = “DANGER” • Hazard statement = “Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air”

Hazards not otherwise classified (HNOC) • An adverse physical or health effect that does not meet the specified hazard classes • Belongs to a category that OSHA did not adopt from the United Nations’ GHS system of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals • An effect that falls below the cut-off value for a hazard class

Labeling - in-house containers • • Labeling - in-house containers Rely on labels on shipped containers Re-label if label falls off Re-label if label cannot be read

Labeling - in-house containers Transferring hazardous chemicals to another container: • • Must label container if another person will use it Must label container if it is available during another shift

Labeling - in-house containers Individual stationary containers (i. e. , tanks) may use: • Signs • Placards • Batch tickets • Operating procedures These alternatives must provide the same information as would a label

Labeling - in-house containers Different system for in-house labels: • Product identifier • Words, pictures, symbols, or a combination of these, that provide at least general information on the hazards of the chemicals

Labeling - in-house containers NFPA system identifies: • Health hazards - Blue • Flammability hazards - Red • Reactivity hazards Yellow • Special hazards - White Hazard severity (0 to 4): • 0 = none • 4 = severe

Labeling - in-house containers Hazardous Material Identification System identifies: • • Health hazards - Blue Flammability hazards - Red Physical hazards - Orange Personal protection - White Hazard severity (0 to 4): • • • 0 1 2 3 4 = = = minimal slight moderate serious severe

Hazard Communication Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Replacing the MSDS • • • Verify label information PPE recommendations Symptoms, health effects First aid Emergency procedures

SDS • The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers, distributors, or importers to provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs) to communicate the hazards of hazardous chemical products. • As of June 1, 2015, the HCS will require new SDSs to be in a uniformat, must be in English and include the section numbers, the headings, and associated information under the headings below:

SDS • Section 1, Identification includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use. • Section 2, Hazard(s) identification includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements. • Section 3, Composition/information on ingredients includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims.

SDS • Section 4, First-aid measures includes important symptoms/ effects, acute, delayed; required treatment. • Section 5, Fire-fighting measures lists suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment; chemical hazards from fire. • Section 6, Accidental release measures lists emergency procedures; protective equipment; proper methods of containment and cleanup.

SDS • Section 7, Handling and storage lists precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities. • Section 8, Exposure controls/personal protection lists OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs); Threshold Limit Values (TLVs); appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment (PPE). • Section 9, Physical and chemical properties lists the chemical's characteristics.

• Section 10, Stability and reactivity lists chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reactions. • Section 11, Toxicological information includes routes of exposure; related symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of toxicity. • Section 12, Ecological information* • Section 13, Disposal considerations*

SDS Section 14, Transport information* Section 15, Regulatory information* Section 16, Other information, includes the date of preparation or last revision. *Note: Since other Agencies regulate this information, OSHA will not be enforcing Sections 12 through 15 (29 CFR 1910. 1200(g)(2)).

SDS • Employers must ensure that SDSs are readily accessible to employees. • See Appendix D of 1910. 1200 for a detailed description of SDS contents.

Haz. Com Summary • Methods, observations to detect chemicals • Information on physical, health, simple asphyxiation, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas, and other hazards not otherwise classified • Safe work practices, emergency procedures, and PPE use
