Your Rights
Employer must have an SDS for every hazardous substance you use as part of your job.
If you request to see a copy of an SDS for a product you use, and your employer cannot provide it after one working day, you may refuse to use that product or work in an area where it is being used.
These SDSs must be available to you the entire time you are in the workplace.
If you request your own personal copy of an SDS, your employer has 15 days to provide it.

7. Labeling & Marking Systems
NFPA Diamonds
Color coded, numerical rating system
Will be located in section 16 under “other information”
Provide at-a-glance hazard information

8. Labeling & Marking Systems
NFPA Diamonds
Blue = Health
Red = Flammability
Yellow = Instability
White = Special Hazard Information

9. Labeling & Marking Systems
NFPA Diamonds
4 = Deadly Hazard
3 = Severe Hazard
2 = Moderate Hazard
1 = Slight Hazard
0 = No Hazard

10. Labeling & Marking Systems
HMLS Labels
Designed to go on individual containers of products that don’t have the manufacturer’s labels
Same color code/numerical rating system as the NFPA diamonds
In the interest of safety, if a product no longer bears the label and warnings of the manufacturer, we require that the product be discarded rather than relabeled.

11. Uses same numerical rating of 0-4

Hazard Communication
The Written Plan
You should have a copy of an updated (current) written Hazard Communication plan. This plan is to be used to train management on the standard, as well as employees. All training must be documented. All employees must have this training, including new hire, existing employees and all management staff. Note: Subcontractors, vendors and regular visitors should also be made aware of your program, and those contractors regularly present on the property must receive training.

21. Hazard Communication
The Written Plan
Part of the Written Plan is that the employee notify their supervisor should they be exposed to a potentially hazardous chemical in the workplace. The supervisor should immediately refer the employee for a medical evaluation and treatment, if necessary.

23. Chemical Inventory List
Hazard Communication
Chemical Inventory List
Federal law requires an inventory of all chemicals at the location, and that it be updated at least annually. In order to be effective, the inventory list should be updated whenever a new chemical is introduced into the workplace. A regular method of identifying random chemicals and checking for their documented presence should be implelented.
