15 Penalties for non-compliance are very real In 2009 & 2010 combined, OSHA cited over 13,000 instances of HCS violations in workplaces across the United States #3 on OSHA's top 10 list of most frequently violated compliance standards

Major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard Hazard classification: Provides specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures. Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided. Safety Data Sheets: Will now have a specified 16-section format. Information and training: Employers are required to train workers by December 1, 2013 on the new labels elements and safety data sheets format to facilitate recognition and understanding.

30 GHS New Terms Classification – identification and evaluation of relevant data regarding chemical hazards and comparison to GHS criteria Classification – identification and evaluation of relevant data regarding chemical hazards and comparison to GHS criteria Hazard class – the nature of the physical or health hazard Hazard class – the nature of the physical or health hazard Hazard category – division of criteria within each hazard class Hazard category – division of criteria within each hazard class Hazard statement – statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature and degree of hazard Hazard statement – statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature and degree of hazard Pictogram – symbol plus other graphic elements intended to convey specific information about the hazards Pictogram – symbol plus other graphic elements intended to convey specific information about the hazards Precautionary statement – phrase that describes measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects Precautionary statement – phrase that describes measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects Safety data sheet (SDS) = Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Safety data sheet (SDS) = Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Signal word – indicates the relative level of severity of hazard. Danger is more severe. Warning is less severe. Signal word – indicates the relative level of severity of hazard. Danger is more severe. Warning is less severe.

Definition of “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.

Hazards not Otherwise Classified “Hazard not otherwise classified (HNOC)” means an adverse physical or health effect identified through evaluation of scientific evidence during the classification process that does not meet the specified criteria for the physical and health hazard classes addressed in this section. “Hazard not otherwise classified (HNOC)” means an adverse physical or health effect identified through evaluation of scientific evidence during the classification process that does not meet the specified criteria for the physical and health hazard classes addressed in this section. This does extend coverage to adverse physical and health effects for which there is a hazard class addressed in this section, but the effect either falls below the cut-off value/concentration limit of the hazard class or is under a GHS hazard category that has been adopted by OSHA (e.g., acute toxicity Category 5, “simple asphyxiant”).

185 Physical Data Boiling Point -The temperature at which a liquid turns to a vapour

186 Freezing Point - Temperature at which the liquid form of a chemical will turn into the solid form Melting Point - Temperature at which the solid form of a chemical will turn into the liquid form Vapour pressure - The higher the vapour pressure,the more rapidly the material will change from liquid form to o vapour when released to the environment.

187 Vapour pressure The amount of released harmful vapors in based on the chemical’s vapor pressure. The greater the vapor pressure, the greater the yield of hazardous vapors. Acetone will give off more vapors then gasoline. Sulfuric acid has a low vapor pressure and gives off little vapor.

188 Vapour density - Density of a gas compared to the density of air

189 Specific gravity - density of a chemical compared to the density of water. If the specific gravity is less than one, the chemical will float on water. If the specific gravity is greater than one, the chemical will sink.
