Purpose of HazCom
04/19/23 3
All employees have a right to know the hazards and identities of chemicals they may be exposed to when working.
They also need to know what protective measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring.
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, requires employers to identify materials/chemicals used in the workplace, (properly classify) them as “hazardous” and inform their employees of their potential exposure along with the measures necessary to prevent exposure to these hazards.

Purpose of the GHS
04/19/23 4
Globally Harmonized SystemGlobally Harmonized SystemUPDATE
!
The GHS was developed to “harmonize” existing chemical classification and labeling systems so that a single global system could be used to address the classification of chemicals, labels and data sheets.
It does not replace the Hazard Communication Standard, but will require updates of:“hazard classification” replaces “hazard determination” “labeling” (more specifications).“safety data sheet” replaces “material safety data Sheet”.
NOTE: Training is essentially the same with updates to the above sections.
Why use GHS?
04/19/23 5
Globally Harmonized SystemGlobally Harmonized System
The GHS is expected to:
1)Enhance the protection of human health and the environment.
2)Provide a framework for those countries with no current system.
3)Reduce the need for testing & evaluation of chemicals.
4)Facilitate international trade.

UPDATE!
Pictograms will be required by June 1, 2015 to alert users of chemical hazards.
Each will consist of a symbol on a white background framed with a red border.
The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard Classification.
