Who’s Responsible for Compliance
1. Chemical manufactures 2. Importers and distributors 3. Employers that use chemicals *Use means to package, handle, react, or transfer. Main Menu
14
Definitions Chemical - any substance, or mixture of substances
Chemical manufacturer - an employer with a workplace where chemical(s) are produced for use or distribution Main Menu
15
Definitions Classification
-identify the relevant data regarding the hazards of a chemical -review those data to ascertain the hazards associated with the chemical -decide whether the chemical will be classified as hazardous Exposure or exposed - an employee is subjected in the course of employment to a chemical that is a physical or health hazard, and includes potential (e.g. accidental or possible) exposure Main Menu
16
Definitions Hazardous chemical - any chemical which is classified as a physical hazard or a health hazard, a simple asphyxiant, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas, or hazard not otherwise classified Label - an appropriate group of written, printed or graphic information elements concerning a hazardous chemical that is affixed to, printed on, or attached to the immediate container of a hazardous chemical, or to the outside packaging Main Menu
17
Definitions Pictogram - a composition that may include a symbol plus other graphic elements, such as a border, background pattern, or color, that is intended to convey specific information about the hazards of a chemical. Eight pictograms are designated under this standard for application to a hazard category Product identifier - the name or number used for a hazardous chemical on a label or in the SDS Main Menu
18
Definitions Safety data sheet (SDS) - written or printed material concerning a hazardous chemical that is prepared in accordance with paragraph (g) of this section. Use - to package, handle, react, emit, extract, generate as a byproduct, or transfer. Main Menu
19
Definitions Work area - a room or defined space in a workplace where hazardous chemicals are produced or used, and where employees are present Workplace - an establishment, job site, or project, at one geographical location containing one or more work areas Main Menu

25
Labels Labeling The chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor shall ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals leaving the workplace is labeled, tagged or marked. Main Menu
26
Labels Labels shall contain: Product identifier Signal word
Hazard statement(s) Pictogram(s) Precautionary statement(s) Name, address, and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party *A sample label and pictogram chart is located on your Hazard Communication reference sheet Main Menu
27
Labels Solids: For solid metal (such as a steel beam or a metal casting), solid wood, or plastic items that are not exempted, or shipments of whole grain, the required label may be transmitted to the customer at the time of the initial shipment, and need not be included with subsequent shipments to the same employer unless the information on the label changes
28
Labels Labeling workplace requirements: -Manufacturer labeling or
-Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals
29
Labels Labels shall not: -be removed or defaced by
employer or employee Label
30
Labels Labeling The chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor shall ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals leaving the workplace is labeled, tagged or marked.
31
Labels Must include identity of the hazardous chemical
hazard warning (poison, flammable etc.) target organ effects name and address of chemical manufacturer, importer, or responsible party if shipped
32
Labels Labels shall be: -Legible -Prominently displayed -English
additional languages if needed -Cross referenced with SDSs hazardous chemical inventory list Label Label
33
Secondary Containers When a chemical is transferred from its original container into another container for other than immediate use, it is called a secondary container. The supervisor or worker is responsible for assuring that all secondary containers are labeled. Examples of secondary containers: coffee cans, drums, plastic jugs etc Methyl Ethyl Death 3 2 B Methyl Ethyl Death
34
Labeling Exception A container may be unlabeled if it is a portable container intended for the immediate use (same work shift) of the employee who transferred the chemical from a properly labeled container. This applies to containers such as test tubes, beakers, graduates, vials, pitchers, pails, or similar containers which are routinely used and reused. There are no other exceptions.
35
Sample Labeling Each colored bar represents a
different class of hazard. The hazard classes found on labels include: Health Flammability Reactivity
36
Sample Labeling Chemical Identity
Health hazard rating including chronic hazard indicator Flammability rating Reactivity rating PPE Designation Additional Information
37
Health Rating 4 – Severe Hazard - Could cause death or serious permanent injury 3 – Serious Hazard - Could cause serious temporary or permanent injury 2 – Moderate Hazard - May cause temporary or minor injury 1 – Slight Hazard - Could cause irritation, but only minor residual injury 0 – Minimal Hazard - No major risk when exposed for short period of time
38
Special Health Hazard Rating
If the chemical is listed as a carcinogen or has a target organ effect, then an asterisks (*) shall be added to the label inside the box If the chemical has a target organ effect or is a listed carcinogen be sure to indicate on the label *3 1 1 D n Target organ effects to liver, kidney, central nervous system, and peripheral nervous system NTP and IARC listed carcinogen
39
Flammability Rating 4 – Severe Hazard – Materials that will rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure; may spontaneously ignite in the air 3 – Serious Hazard – Materials capable of ignition under almost ambient conditions. 2 – Moderate Hazard – Materials that must be moderately heated or exposed to high ambient temperatures before ignition will occur 1 – Slight Hazard – Materials that must be preheated before ignition will occur. This includes solids and semi-solids 0 – Minimal Hazard – Materials that will not burn
40
Reactivity Rating 4 – Severe Hazard – Materials are readily capable of detonation or explosive decompressure at normal temperatures and pressures 3 – Serious Hazard – Materials that are capable of detonation or explosive reaction, but require a strong initiating source, or must be heated under confinement before initiation. Materials that react explosively with water. 2 – Moderate Hazard – Materials that undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures. These materials may also react violently with water. 1 – Slight Hazard – Materials that are normally stable but can become unstable at high temperatures and pressures. 0 – Minimal Hazard – Materials that are normally stable, even under fire conditions, and which will not react with water.
41
Chemical Ratings Ratings will be made by using the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or other information provided by the manufacturer Determine ratings by researching the chemical’s SDS or by attempting to identify chemical ratings by using an online SDS system.
