  1. WHMIS 1988/2015 Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System * upon completion you will be required to individually complete and submit a test as proof of training

  2. WHMIS Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System • Canada wide system designed to provide employers and workers with information about hazardous materials used in the workplace

  3. What is GHS? • GHS is global system that defines and classifies the hazards of chemical products and communicates health and safety information on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s)

  4. WHMIS 1988 + GHS = WHMIS 2015

  5. WHMIS 1988 + GHS = WHMIS 2015 • Federal: WHMIS 2015 is in place • Not governed by Controlled Products Regulation (now it is the new Hazardous Products Regulation) • WHMIS 1988 is not off the books – we still need to cover it until it is phased out • WHMIS 2015 will be fully implemented by Dec 2018

  6. Why the changes? • Implementing GHS into Canada will help harmonize Canada’s chemical hazard communication system with those of other countries providing more consistent hazard information.

  7. Excluded Products • Explosives • Cosmetics • Food and Drugs • Pesticides • Radioactive Material • Hazardous Waste • Consumer Products • Wood/Wood Products • Tobacco/Tobacco Products * Although these items are excluded from the WHMIS requirements we still need to know if they are safe and how to protect ourselves

  8. WHMIS/GHS 2015What’s New? • New hazard pictograms • New hazard classes • New labels and their required elements such as signal words • New meaning of all signal words and hazard statements • New SDS format and how to locate information needed to work safely

  9. VIDEO – WHMIS 2015 Introduction

  10. WHMIS/GHS RESPONSIBILITIESSuppliers/Manufacturers: • Identify and classify controlled products • Prepare supplier labels and MSDS/SDS • Review and update MSDS/SDS • Provide most current MSDS upon delivery

  11. WHMIS/GHS RESPONSIBILITIESEmployer/Supervisor (Principal): • create/apply workplace labels • obtain most current MSDS/SDS • assess products produced in the house • worker education and training • provide information in medical emergencies • establish a WHMIS program

  12. WHMIS/GHS RESPONSIBILITIESWorker: • to use or wear the equipment, protective clothing as required by the employer • to report hazards and cases of non-compliance to their supervisor (i.e. missing or damaged labels) • participate in training • understand and use information provided (labels and MSDS/SDS)

  13. WHMIS & GHSHazardous information is provided in 3 ways: • Labels • MSDS/SDS • Worker training

  14. WHMIS 1998 LABELS WHMIS 1988

  15. WHMIS/GHS 2015 WHMIS 2015 – Potential GHS Label

  16. 7 Components of a Supplier Label: WHMIS 1998 • Product identifier • Supplier identifier (name only) • Hazard symbols (1 or more circular) • Risk phrases (description of the effect which may result from exposure) • Precautionary measures (describes safe handling use & storage) • First aid instructions • Reference to MSDS WHMIS/GHS 2015 • Product identifier • Supplier identifier (name, address and telephone number) • Hazard pictograms (symbol within a Diamond) • Hazard statements (supplier must use standard wording) • Precautionary statements (response, prevention, storage and disposal) • Signal word (danger or warning) • No reference to MSDS/SDS

  17. Workplace Labels • A workplace label is required when: • a hazardous product is produced (made) at the workplace and used in that workplace, • a hazardous product is decanted (e.g., transferred or poured) into another container, or • a supplier label becomes lost or illegible (unreadable)

  18. Workplace Labels SAMPLE WORKPLACE LABEL Methanol Flammable – Do not use near flame or spark Avoid inhaling vapours See the MSDS before using product • 3 REQUIRED • PIECES OF INFORMATION • Product Identifier • Hazard Information • Reference to MSDS *You create these ones when decanting into spray bottles etc…

  19. There are two situations when a workplace label is not necessaryWhen a hazardous product is… • #1. poured into a container and it is going to be used immediately, or • #2. "under the control of the person who decanted it". • For example, when the person who poured the product into another container will be the only person who will use it, and the product will be used during one shift, a full workplace label may not be required. However, the container must still be identified with the product identifier (name). If the product is not used right away or if more than one person will be in control of the product, a full workplace label is required.

  20. HAZARD CLASSIFICATION/SYMBOLS: WHMIS 1988 Hazard Classes WHMIS/GHS 2015 • 6 Classes: • Class A-Compressed Gas • Class B- flammable and Combustible Material • Class C-Oxidizing Material • Class D Poisonous and Infectious Material • Class E-Corrosive Material • Class F- Dangerously Reactive Material Physical hazards – 16 classes Health hazards – 10 classes Environmental hazards – 2 classes

  21. WHMIS/GHS 2015 Hazard Classes Pictograms Summary • Environmental Hazard (Optional – not required by WHMIS in Canada) Physical Hazards Health Hazards

  22. GHS - Physical Hazard Classes • Explosives • Flammable Gases • Flammable Aerosols • Flammable Liquids • Flammable Solids • Oxidizing Gases • Oxidizing Liquids • Oxidizing Solids 9. Self Reactive Substances and Mixtures 10. Pyrophoric Liquids (ignite spontaneously) 11. Pyrophoric Solids 12. Self-Heating Substances and Mixtures 13. Organic Peroxides 14. Corrosive to Metals 15.

  23. GHS – Health Hazard Classes • Acute toxicity • Skin corrosion/irritation • Serious eye damage/eye irritation • Respiratory sensitization/skin sensation • Germ cell mutagenicity • Carcinogenicity • Reproductive Toxicity • Specific target organ toxicity – single exposure • Specific target organ toxicity – repeated exposure • Aspiration hazard

  24. GHS - Environmental Hazard Class (optional) • Hazardous to Aquatic Environment • Hazardous to Ozone Layer

  25. How Chemicals Enter the Body - Route of Entry

  26. Common Terms you may encounter on Labels or MSDS/SDS: Acute - Sudden or brief. Acute exposure is a short tem exposure that lasts min/hrs/days. Acute effects occur quickly and can harm the body after one single exposure.Chronic – Long term or prolonged. Chronic exposure is a long term exposure that lasts for months or years.

  27. Carcinogen - A substance which can cause cancer.Mutagen - A substance which can cause changes in the DNA of cells (mutations).Teratogen – A substance which can cause birth defects.

  28. LD50/LC50 – Lethal dose or lethal concentration of a material that causes death in 50% of the test animals. • Exposure Limits – Time and concentration/ dose that a normal healthy adult can be exposed to before suffering adverse health effects.

  29. Combustible - Able to burn. • Flash Point - The lowest temperature at which a liquid or solid gives off enough vapour to form a flammable air-vapour mixture near its surface. The lower the flash point, the greater the fire hazard.

  30. CLASS A: Compressed Gas PHYSICAL HAZARD: Compressed Gas RISKS: • Could explode due to pressure • Could explode if heated or dropped • Possible hazard from both the force of explosion and the release of contents PRECAUTIONS: ENSURE CONTANER IS ALWAYS SECURED • Store in appropriate designated areas • Do not drop or allow to fall EXAMPLE: Oxyacetylene gas CO2 Oxygen

CLASS F: Dangerously Reactive Material EXAMPLE: (not recom. for school use) Vinyl Chloride Ethylene Oxide Aluminium Chloride • RISKS: • Unstable • May react with water to release a toxic or flammable gas • May explode if exposed to shock or heat • PRECAUTIONS: • HANDLE WITH CARE AVOIDING VIBRATION, SHOCKS AND SUDDEN TEMP. CHANGES • Store in appropriate containers away from heat • Ensure storage containers are sealed • Store in cool, flame-proof area

  41. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD • RISKS: • Toxic to the environment and aquatic life if contents should enter the environment • PRECAUTIONS: • Ensure container is secured/closed • Ensure proper disposal, do not pour into sink or allow to spill near sewers/drains • Store in appropriate designated areas

  42. What is an MSDS/SDS? • A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or SDS is a document that: • contains information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and environmental) and how to work safely with the chemical product • contains information on the use, storage, handling and emergency procedures all related to the hazards of the material • contains much more information about the material than the label • prepared by the supplier or manufacturer of the material • Under WHMIS 2015, SDS will be phased in and replace MSDS by 2018

  43. HAZARD COMMUNICATION: MSDS/SDS WHMIS 1988 MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheets)Current within 3 years WHMIS/GHS 2015 SDS (Safety Data Sheets)Most current available from supplier vs The most current MSDS/SDS must be accessible to all staff, electronic format is acceptable as long as it can be accessed in an emergency

  44. HAZARD COMMUNICATION – In the Workplace SDS MSDS • Identification • Hazard Identification • Composition Information on Ingredients • First Aid Measures • Fire Fighting Measures • Accidental Release Measures • Handling and Storage • Exposure Controls/Personal Protection • Physical and Chemical Properties • Stability and Reactivity • Toxicological Information • Ecological Information • Disposal Considerations • Transport Information • Regulatory Information • Other Information • Product Identification & Use • Hazardous Ingredients • Physical Data • Fire & Explosion Hazard Data • Reactivity Data • Toxicological Properties/Health Hazard Data • Preventative Measures • First Aid Measures • Preparation Date of MSDS
