Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides guidance on implementing the updated Hazard Communication Program in compliance with OSHA's revised standards, focusing on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and labeling.
Understanding GHS
GHS is a UN-created system for standardizing chemical classification and labeling globally. In the U.S., OSHA enforces GHS through the updated Hazard Communication Standard (CFR 1910.1200), which includes defining hazards and communicating them via standardized labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
Importance of GHS
The global chemical industry is a significant economic sector, necessitating standardized labeling for safe and efficient chemical import/export. GHS helps ensure worker safety and informed handling of chemical hazards.
Compliance Timeline and Checklist
Key compliance deadlines include training employees on new label elements and SDS format by December 1, 2013, and ensuring full compliance by June 1, 2016. Employers must update HazCom programs, train employees, and audit chemical containers for compliance.
Label Format and SDS Elements
OSHA requires SDS to follow a 16-section format, covering identification, hazards, composition, first-aid, fire-fighting measures, and more. Labels must include six elements: signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statements, product identifiers, manufacturer information, and hazard pictograms.
GHS Pictogram Symbols and Hazard Classes
GHS pictograms identify chemical/physical, health, and environmental risks. Each pictogram serves a specific purpose, such as indicating flammability, toxicity, or environmental hazards.
Training Solutions
Brady offers comprehensive training programs, including DVDs and on-site sessions, to ensure compliance with OSHA's HazCom standards. Training covers GHS label elements, SDS interpretation, and hazard communication.
Additional Resources
Brady provides various training aids, including posters, wallet cards, and signs, to reinforce GHS knowledge and compliance in the workplace.

GHS Pictogram Symbols and Hazard Classes The GHS symbols, also known as hazard pictograms, each serve a special purpose and are used to identify hazardous products. While the environmental pictogram was not mandated by OSHA, it is listed because it may be required by other agencies for labeling. The pictogram symbols are commonly broken down into three hazard classes: Chemical/Physical Risk, Health Risk and Environmental Risk. Chemical / Physical Risk Environmental Risk Health Risk (Corrosion Pictogram) (Cylinder Pictogram) Identifies chemicals with the following hazards: Identifies chemicals...
