2 Agenda Overview of changes to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012) Overview of changes to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012) Delivery of this supplement meets compliance requirements Delivery of this supplement meets compliance requirements Is a one-time supplement to the current UAW-GM Hazard Communication training for all employees Is a one-time supplement to the current UAW-GM Hazard Communication training for all employees All new employees must receive the current UAW-GM Hazard Communication training + this supplement All new employees must receive the current UAW-GM Hazard Communication training + this supplement Labeling format changes Labeling format changes Safety Data Sheets (SDS) format – 16 sections (formerly called Material Safety Data Sheets – MSDS) Safety Data Sheets (SDS) format – 16 sections (formerly called Material Safety Data Sheets – MSDS) Training record – CTIS #46875 Training record – CTIS #46875

3 Program Clarifications Please be aware that changes associated with HazCom 2012 do not affect the following: Please be aware that changes associated with HazCom 2012 do not affect the following: OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) GM-Occupational Exposure Guidelines (GM-OEGs) GM-Occupational Exposure Guidelines (GM-OEGs) The Safe Use Categories (SUC)/Safe Use Instructions (SUI) can still be used and will not change until the entire UAW-GM Hazard Communication program is revised. The Safe Use Categories (SUC)/Safe Use Instructions (SUI) can still be used and will not change until the entire UAW-GM Hazard Communication program is revised.

4 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has integrated the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals into OSHA’s Hazard Communication (HazCom) standard – HazCom 2012 HazCom 2012 requires: HazCom 2012 requires: Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors to classify chemicals according to their health and physical hazards, and supply that information to the users via updated labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors to classify chemicals according to their health and physical hazards, and supply that information to the users via updated labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Employers to adopt the new standard format for labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for all chemicals manufactured, imported, or distributed in the United States Employers to adopt the new standard format for labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for all chemicals manufactured, imported, or distributed in the United States OSHA Adopts GHS

5 Why the Change to HazCom? To align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), adopted by 67 nations (800+ page “purple book” shown below) To align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), adopted by 67 nations (800+ page “purple book” shown below) To provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals (responsibility of the chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors) To provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals (responsibility of the chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors) Reduce confusion and increase understanding of the hazards Reduce confusion and increase understanding of the hazards Facilitate training Facilitate training Help address literacy problems Help address literacy problems

6 Why did OHSA decide to modify the Hazard Communication Standard to adopt GHS? The original Hazard Communication standard was performance-oriented which allowed chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors to provide information on labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in whatever format they chose... gave workers the “right-to-know” The original Hazard Communication standard was performance-oriented which allowed chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors to provide information on labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in whatever format they chose... gave workers the “right-to-know” HazCom 2012 is “prescriptive” – meaning label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format is standardized... this update is designed to give workers the “right-to-understand” HazCom 2012 is “prescriptive” – meaning label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format is standardized... this update is designed to give workers the “right-to-understand” To improve safety & health of workers through more effective communication of chemical hazards To improve safety & health of workers through more effective communication of chemical hazards

7 What are the major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard ? The three major areas of change are: The three major areas of change are: Hazard classification: Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to classify chemicals as a health hazard or physical hazard. These specific classification criteria will help to ensure that evaluations of hazardous effects are consistent across chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors and that labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are more accurate as a result. Hazard classification: Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to classify chemicals as a health hazard or physical hazard. These specific classification criteria will help to ensure that evaluations of hazardous effects are consistent across chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors and that labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) are more accurate as a result. Labels: Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to provide a label that includes: Labels: Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to provide a label that includes: a signal word a signal word pictogram(s) pictogram(s) hazard statement(s) hazard statement(s) precautionary statement(s) precautionary statement(s) Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Will now have a specified 16-section format. Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Will now have a specified 16-section format.

8 Who is Affected? Manufacturers, Importers, Distributors Manufacturers, Importers, Distributors Change SDS information and format Change SDS information and format Change container labeling Change container labeling Employers Training employees on changes to: Employers Training employees on changes to: SDS (change from MSDS to SDS and 16-section format) SDS (change from MSDS to SDS and 16-section format) Container Labels (including secondary containers) Container Labels (including secondary containers) Employees Recognize and understand hazards based on: Employees Recognize and understand hazards based on: Information in new SDS format Information in new SDS format Pictograms on container labels Pictograms on container labels Precautionary and hazard statements Precautionary and hazard statements

9 Effective Dates and Requirements Effective Completion Date Requirement(s)Responsible Party December 1, 2013Train employees on the new label elements and SDS format Employers June 1, 2015Compliance with all modified provisions of the final rule except: Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers December 1, 2015The distributor shall not ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer unless it is a GHS label Distributor June 1, 2016Update alternative workplace labeling and hazard communication program as necessary, and provide additional employee training for newly identified hazards Employers Transition Period: 3/2012 to the effective completion dates noted above May comply with either the existing OSHA Hazard Communication standard or the new Hazard Communication 2012 standard, or both Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers

10 Chemical Classifications Please keep in mind during this presentation: The next 7 slides provide background information to make you aware of the requirements of the chemical manufacturer, importer, and distributor on how they must classify chemicals The next 7 slides provide background information to make you aware of the requirements of the chemical manufacturer, importer, and distributor on how they must classify chemicals The employer (GM) is then required to make employees aware of those new classifications which are required to be part of the new label format and SDS, etc. The employer (GM) is then required to make employees aware of those new classifications which are required to be part of the new label format and SDS, etc.

11 Chemical Classifications Chemicals will be classified by the chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors using a harmonized system that provides standardized language for: Health Hazard Categories Health Hazard Categories Physical Hazard Categories Physical Hazard Categories Environmental Hazard Categories* Environmental Hazard Categories* *Not regulated by OSHA, regulated by the EPA
