Hazard Statement • Statement associated with the hazard class or degree of hazard • hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard.
Precautionary Statement • a phrase that describes recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical
Pictograms • There are nine pictograms used in the new GH system (8 are mandatory) • Pictogram must have a Red border with a symbol inside • The red borders increase comprehensibility

Purple Book and OSHA • Labels for secondary containers • Use sections to communicate what hazards are associated with the chemical • Chemical Identity • Hazards ID– HMIS • Manufacturer Name • SDS – • Pictograms if possible • Train employees on the sections used
Secondary labels
GHS Labels
These types of labels should refer employees directly back to the SDS or Original container
• Chemical Containers will have GHS pictograms located on them as part of OSHA compliance only • DOT HM Labels cannot be substituted for OSHA compliance

Mixture Classification Generally use test data for the mixture, when available
Use bridging principles, if applicable (defined in purple book) classifying untested mixtures but there is sufficient data on the components and/or similar tested mixtures Dilution, Batching ,Concentration , Substantially Similar , Aerosols
Hazards Not Otherwise Classified • This definition was added to ensure that hazards currently covered by HCS continue to be covered • Information will be required on the safety data sheets in Section 2 • Hazard information on the label, is not mandatory, but can be provided under supplementary information • Such hazards must also be addressed in worker training
For health and environmental hazards, estimate hazards based on the known ingredient information
Simple Asphyxiant • “Simple asphyxiant” means a substance or mixture that displaces oxygen in the ambient atmosphere, and can thus cause oxygen deprivation in those who are exposed, leading to unconsciousness and death. » Label: Warning. May displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation. Inert compressed gas: Nitrogen
Pyrophoric Gas
means a chemical in a gaseous state that will ignite spontaneously in air at a temperature of 130 degrees F (54.4 degrees C) or below.
Label: Danger. Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air.

Some Health Hazards Regulated:
Combustible Dust Combustible dust is covered separately from HNOC, but is not specifically defined. • Guidance for defining combustible dust is to be taken from existing documents, including the directive for the National Emphasis Program; the NFPA standards also provide useful information.
• Combustible dust must be addressed on labels where appropriate: » Warning. May form combustible dust concentrations in air. » Paragraph (f)(4)may apply to materials shipped in solid form, that create combustible dust when processed
Other Standards Affected • Flammable Liquids (1910.106; 1926.52) definition • Modifications to the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard (29 CFR 1910.119)
• • • • • • • • •
Asbestos (1910.1001; 1926.1101; Ethylene Oxide (1910.1047) Formaldehyde (1910.1048) Methylene Chloride (1910.1052) Vinyl Chloride (1910.1017) Lead (1910.1025; 1926.62) Chromium(VI) (1910.1026; 1926.1126; 1915.1026) Cadmium (1910.1027; 1926.1127) Benzene (1910.1028)
Health Standards • The substance-specific standards generally pre-date the HCS, and do not have a comprehensive approach to hazard communication. • The final rule references HazCom 2012 in each of these standards to ensure they have all the protections of the rule. • In addition, OSHA updated the provisions regarding what is to be communicated to workers to ensure the health effects are consistent with the GHS criteria. • Regulated area signs will need to be updated to reflect the new language. • Employers have until June 1, 2016 to update the signs.

Criteria for Flammable Liquids
Physical Hazards Criteria: Flammable Liquids and Gases GHS Definitions 1910.106 Flash point, Boiling Point, Flammable Aerosols
Proposed integration of the physical hazards criteria would: Incorporate GHS definitions of flammable liquid/gas into PSM and health hazard into Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER); Change flammable/combustible liquids to conform in categories, terminology, FP and BP to the GHS Incorporate definition of flammable aerosols into the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Standard, 1910.106
