The document provides information about the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). It was developed by the United Nations to standardize chemical hazard communication across countries. GHS harmonizes criteria for classifying chemicals and ensures chemical hazards are communicated to workers through standardized labels, safety data sheets, and training. It enhances the US Hazard Communication Standard by introducing standardized label elements, pictograms, and a 16-section safety data sheet format. The document outlines employees' responsibilities to read labels and safety data sheets, use personal protective equipment, know the locations of safety equipment, and understand chemical hazards and precautions.

- 1. Understanding OSHA’s GHS System for workers
- 2. 1 Section 1 What is GHS? GHS stands for the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. GHS was developed by the United Nations as a way to bring into agreement the chemical regulations and standards of different countries. In short, it is an international attempt to get all countries on the same page.
- 4. 1 What is GHS Born out of the United Nations ‘Earth Summit’ of 1992, over 65 countries have already adopted, or are in the process of adopting, GHS, including the United States and Canada. GHS is primarily concerned with the classification of chemicals and the communication of hazards related to those chemicals to users of the products downstream via warning labels and safety data sheets.
- 5. 1 What is GHS Building on the success of OSHA's current Hazard Communication Standard, the GHS is expected to prevent: • injuries and illnesses, • save lives • improve trade conditions for chemical manufacturers.
- 6. 1 What is GHS • The Hazard Communication Standard in 1983 gave the workers the ‘right to know,' but the new Globally Harmonized System gives workers the ‘right to understand.'
- 7. 1 What is GHS • Employers must provide unrestricted access to information about the hazards of the chemicals you work with. • Supplier and employers must provide you with information about hazardous products and how to protect yourself. • Must be made available without restrictions
- 8. 1 The HCS-Hazard Communication Standard GHS does not replace OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) it enhances it with a few important changes. 1. New Label Formats 2. New Hazard Pictograms 3. New name for MSDS “SDS” or Safety Data Sheets
- 9. Quiz - GHS What does GHS stand for General Hazard Safety Global Harmonization System Global Hazard Solutions
- 10. 2 HCS & GHS The chemical hazard information will now be conveyed to you by: • Labels • Symbols • SDS Sheets • Training
- 11. 2 Section 2- GHS Labels and Pictograms GHS safety labels have 6 standardized elements: 1. Product Identifier – Must match product identifier on safety data sheet 2. Manufacturer Contact Information – Including name, phone number, and address 3. Hazard Pictograms – New label elements that may require color printers
- 12. 2 GHS Labels and Pictograms GHS safety labels have 6 standardized elements: 4. Signal Word – Either DANGER or WARNING depending upon hazard severity 5. Hazard Statements – Standardized sentences that describes the level of the hazards 6. Precautionary Statements – Steps employees can take to protect themselves
- 13. 2 GHS Labels and Pictograms In addition to the hazard symbols, a GHS label should identify the product and list hazards, precautions, and first aid measures. Additional information is provided on the SDS. Note: GHS labels are also required on secondary containers in the workplace. Danger EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! Highly flammable liquid and vapor Causes mild skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Wear protective gloves/ eye protection/ face protection. First Aid SKIN: In case of contact with skin immediately remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap & water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. INHALATION: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician. EYE CONTACT: For eyes, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes & get medical attention. Refer to material Safety Data Sheet for more information
- 14. 2 GHS Labels and Pictograms GHS safety labels have 6 standardized elements: • Here is an example of a compliant label
- 15. 2 Hazard Classes / Symbols Hazard symbols appear on container labels and SDS sheets as a visual alert. Products are classified by the supplier to identify hazardous properties such as toxicity, flammability and reactivity.
- 16. 2 Hazard Classes / Symbols These symbols alert you immediately to a product's potential hazards. The pictograms act as a STOP sign. They alert you to read the SDS, understand the hazards of the chemical and how to protect yourself
- 17. 2Hazard Classes / Symbols There are 9 hazard class symbols under GHS. Each Pictogram represents a different hazard. They will appear on labels and new SDS Sheets
- 18. Quiz – Labels & Symbols How do Hazard class symbols improve the Hazard Communication System? They can be understood without knowing the language. They act as a “Stop Sign” to warn you of the hazards They are universal between countries. All of the above
- 19. 3SDS Sheets MSDSs Get a New Look Under GHS alignment, safety data sheets remain the backbone of HCS compliance. They do, however, get a name and formatting change.
- 20. 3SDS Sheets MSDSs Get a New Look GHS drops the M from MSDS and calls them SDSs. More importantly, SDS’s have a standardized 16 section format with a required ordering of sections. It is essentially the ANSI Standard for MSDSs with a few adjustments. Lets take a look
- 21. 3 SDS Sheets Safety Data Sheets: The new format requires 16 specific sections in a specific order. This way all SDS sheets will be formatted the same which makes it much easier to read. 1. Identification 2. Hazard(s) Identification 3. Composition/Ingredient Information 4. First-Aid Measures 5. Fire-Fighting Measures 6. Accidental Release Measures 7. Handling and Storage 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection 9. Physical & Chemical Properties 10.Stability & Reactivity 11.Toxicological Information 12.Ecological Information 13.Disposal Considerations 14.Transport Information 15.Regulatory Information 16.Other Information
- 22. 3 SDS Sheets To be GHS compliant, an SDS needs all 16 sections; however, OSHA will not be enforcing sections 12-15, which fall outside their jurisdiction. These will be covered by EPA and related environmental agencies. 1. Identification 2. Hazard(s) Identification 3. Composition/Ingredient Information 4. First-Aid Measures 5. Fire-Fighting Measures 6. Accidental Release Measures 7. Handling and Storage 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection 9. Physical & Chemical Properties 10.Stability & Reactivity 11.Toxicological Information 12. Ecological Information 13. Disposal Considerations 14. Transport Information 15. Regulatory Information 16.Other Information
- 23. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) They are required to be available to you the employee by your employer any time you request to see them.
- 24. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Safety Data Sheets are provided by the supplier to give users detailed information about the hazards and safe use of products. NOTE: Before using any product for the first time review the MSDS for information on health effects, fire hazards, handling, storage, and personal protection.
- 25. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) Ok now lets take a look at each section of the new SDS in more detail.
- 26. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 1 Identification Section 1 gives you the name of the product and important contact information about the product and manufacturer
- 27. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 2 Hazard(s) IdentificationSection 2 gives you an overview of the hazard to be aware of. You protect yourself from these with PPE and engineering controls such as ventilation
- 28. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 3 Composition/Ingredient Information Section 3 gives you the chemical ingredients and composition. This can be important in choosing the right PPE such as gloves or respirators that will protect you safely.
- 29. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 4 First-Aid Measures Section 4 gives you vital first aid measures should you or a coworker be exposed to dangerous levels of the chemical.
- 30. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 5 Fire-Fighting Measures Section 5 informs the fire department how to extinguish a fire from this chemical and any special PPE needed.
- 31. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 6 Accidental Release MeasuresIn the event of a spill section 6 gives you instructions for spill cleanup and precautions.
- 32. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 7 Handling and StorageSection 7 is important information for safe handling, storage and dispensing of the chemicals.
- 33. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 8 Exposure Control/Personal Protection Section 8 gives you information on how to protect yourself from over exposure.
- 34. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 9 & 10 • Physical & Chemical Properties • Stability & Reactivity 9 and 10 have key information about the chemical and if there are reaction dangers.
- 35. 3Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) SDS: Section 11 • Toxicological Information Section 11 includes routes of exposure, acute and chronic effects and related symptoms.
- 36. Quiz – SDS Sheets What sections of the SDS do not fall under OSHA guidance? First-Aid Measures Accidental Release Measures Ecological Information
- 37. 4Employee Responsibility The new GHS standard has been adopted by OSHA to protect you but what do you need to do to protect yourself?
- 38. 4Employee Responsibility Avoid over exposure or contact with chemicals by protecting yourself with PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Also through the use of engineering controls such as good ventilation.
- 39. 4Employee Responsibility Know and understand routes of entry and how chemicals can enter your system. Inhalation and absorption are the most common. What are the other 2?
- 40. 4Employee Responsibility Know the location of eyewash stations, showers, fire extinguishers, first aid kits and spill cleanup supplies before an incident occurs.
- 41. 4Employee Responsibility Understand the limits of PPE. Note: PPE does not remove a workplace hazard and does not replace effective engineering or administrative controls such as substitution or ventilation. PPE is the last line of defense when the hazard cannot be removed or controlled adequately
- 42. 4Employee Responsibility 1. Read the labels and SDS before you use a chemical. Follow the precautions and ask if you don’t understand.
- 43. 4Employee Responsibility 2. Be prepared if you have a spill or leak and know where the spill kit is. Only trained employees should clean up a large spill. Make sure you have emergency numbers available should you have a large spill.
- 44. 4Employee Responsibility 3. Store and handle chemicals safely. Secure gas cylinders, use approved chemical containers and only store chemicals in a safe manner when not in use. Most important, practice good common sense when handling chemicals and know the hazards.
