  1. Global Harmonized System (GHS) Training Occupational Safety and Health Program

  2. Training Program • Purpose of Training • What is the Global Harmonized System? • Change #1: MSDS SDS • Change #2: SDS Format • Change #3: Labeling • Change #4: Pictograms • Website Resources • Training Completion Follow the training course tabs through the presentation Red tab indicates current training topic

  3. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling Purpose of Training OSHA regulation requires all employees be trained on the new GHS system including safety data sheets, labeling, and pictograms. The changes made by the GHS are described for your benefit in this presentation. Current OSHA Regulation for GHS Implementation 29 CFR 1910.1200(a)(1) The purpose of this section is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to employers and employees. The requirements of this section are intended to be consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), Revision 3. The transmittal of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive hazard communication programs, which are to include container labeling and other forms of warning, safety data sheets and employee training.

  4. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling What is the Global Harmonized System? • Classification system created by the United Nations for managing potentially hazardous materials • 67 countries including the US implementing this system • Adopted by the United States in 2012 Countries/regions that are in the process of implementing GHS. Countries/regions that have already implemented GHS. Countries/regions where GHS is not implemented or not available. Countries/regions where GHS is voluntary. http://ghs.dhigroup.com/GHSImplementatationMap.aspx Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  5. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling What is the Global Harmonized System? • Defines health, physical, and environmental hazards of chemicals • Creates classification processes that use available data on chemicals for comparison with defined hazard criteria • Communicates hazard information in a prescribed and uniform way on labels and safety data sheets Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  6. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling What is the Global Harmonized System? The GHS covers all hazardous chemicals. There are no complete exemptions from the scope of the GHS for a particular type of chemical or product. The term "chemical" is used broadly to include substances, products, mixtures, preparations, or any other terms that may be used by existing systems. The goal of the GHS is to identify the intrinsic hazards of chemical substances and mixtures and to convey hazard information about these hazards. The GHS is not intended to harmonize risk assessment procedures or risk management decisions.

  7. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #1: Msds SDS For decades, the material safety data sheet (MSDS) has been the back-bone of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). NOW… The MSDS is referred to as Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  8. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #2: SDS Format New SDS Feature: 16 Standardized Sections 9. Physical and chemical properties 10.   Stability and reactivity 11.   Toxicological information 12.   Ecological information 13.   Disposal considerations 14.   Transport information 15.   Regulatory information 16.   Other information 1.     Identification 2.     Hazard(s) identification 3.     Composition/information on ingredients 4.     First-aid measures 5.     Fire-fighting measures 6.     Accidental release measures 7.     Handling and Storage 8.     Exposure controls/personal protection Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  9. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #2: SDS Format 1 - 4 Standardized Sections 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. Section 4. First-aid measures includes important symptoms/ effects, acute, delayed; required treatment. Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  10. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #2: SDS Format 5 - 8 Standardized Sections 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. 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).

  11. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #2: SDS Format 9 - 12 Standardized Sections 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 includes the hazards of the substance to ecological zones. Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  12. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #2: SDS Format 13 - 16 Standardized Sections Section 13. Disposal considerations Section 14. Transport information Section 15. Regulatory information Section 16. Other information includes the date of preparation or last revision.

  13. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #2: SDS Format How is the SDS format connected to the new labeling elements? All the information found on the SDS is directly linked to information found on the labels that identifies a substance from a chemical manufacturer. For example, precautionary statements would be the same on the label and on the SDS. (shown in the next section) Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  14. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #3: Labeling EXAMPLE OF LABEL • Expect to see the following elements on the new labels: • Product identifier • Pictogram • Signal word (only two words): • “Warning” or “Danger” • Hazard statement(s) • Precautionary statement(s) • Supplier Information Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  15. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #3: Labeling • Employees must know how to interpret the information on the labels • Each element on the label works together to make the user aware of its hazards. • Employees must be able to access a SDS • Again, the information presented on the SDS and label should be similar Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources

  16. Purpose What is GHS? Change #1: MSDS to SDS Change #2: SDS Format Change #3: Labeling CHANGE #3: Labeling The new labels will be required when the full GHS transition takes place in the US. OSHP will keep MUSC staff aware of this piece of the transition. Image of a GHS flammable liquid label Website Resources Training Completion Change #4: Pictograms MUSC Resources
