• What does the Physical Hazard block represent?– Self-reactives, organic
peroxides, explosives, compressed gases and oxidizers
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Whether you have specific experience with HMIS®, you have probably seen one of these labels. Let’s see if you can answer these questions. What does the (*) mean in the Health block? The (*) signals the fact that a chronic hazard is associated with the material and indicates that additional information on the hazard is available on the product SDS or manufacturer’s label. What does the Physical Hazard block represent? Physical Hazard represents those materials containing any of the following properties: self-reactive, organic peroxide, explosive, compressed gas, pyrophoric, and oxidizer. The acute health, flammability, and physical hazard ratings are numerical. They are expressed on a scale from 0 to 4, with 0 denoting a minimal hazard and 4 denoting a severe hazard.
Introduction and Purpose• The HMIS® will continue to support compliance
for IN-PLANT LABELING to comply with the requirements of the 2012 revised OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS).
• This presentation provides:– Overview of Hazard Communication – Brief review of the HCS label elements, safety data
sheets (SDSs) and in-plant labeling– Training information to help employees understand
the basic concepts of HMIS®
Hazard Communication:The Basic Flowchart
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Before we get into reviewing label requirements, SDSs and the HMIS®, it is a good idea to revisit the basics of “Hazard Communication.” There are really three (3) steps that are required: Chemical product manufacturers (including paint companies) need to classify the hazard of their products and prepare labels and SDSs based on that classification. Once labels and SDSs are received, employers need to prepare a written hazard communication program, including a description of how information will be managed and made available and how employees will be trained. That hazard communication program must be implemented, ensuring that chemicals are labeled properly in the workplace, SDSs are available, and employees are trained to know how the program operates and how information can be accessed. It is important to note that OSHA will evaluate the effectiveness of the compliance effort based on how well each of these elements has been addressed. Finally, it is also important for employers to keep their hazard communication program “up-to-date,” integrating new information received in a timely manner. The HMIS® is a primary mean to comply with the in-plant labeling requirement of the OSHA HCS.

Let’s Review the Label Elements for Shipped Containers
Presenter
Presentation Notes
You should recall from your previous training that the revised OSHA HCS has mandated specific label requirements for shipped containers. By December 1, 2015, all shipped products must have labels with these elements. Brief descriptions are provided below for further review. Please consult the OSHA HCS for details. Product Identifier: name or number used for a hazardous chemical on a label or in the SDS. It provides a unique means by which the user can identify the chemical. Chemical identity chemical name, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number, or any other information that reveals the precise chemical designation of the substance. Contact information: Name, address, telephone o f chemical MFR, importer or other responsible party Pictogram: picture/icon used to convey specific information about the hazards of a chemical. Signal word: indicates the relative level of severity of hazard. Danger or Warning depending on the category of the hazard.. Standardized Hazard Statements –For example Extremely Flammable Liquid. Precautionary statements – guidance on recommended measures for proper handling of chemical substances and mixtures. Prevention, Response, Storage and Disposal.

Let’s Review the SDS Requirements• Safety Data Sheets (SDS) will gradually replace
“old” Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)• SDS’s must follow a uniform 16-section format
The Revised HCS requires that the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or importer to provide revised Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) for each hazardous chemical product to downstream users to communicate information on their hazards. The information contained in the SDS is largely the same as the MSDS, except now the SDSs are required to be presented in a consistent user-friendly, 16-section format (as opposed to the “old” 10-section MSDS). This brief training provides guidance to help workers who handle hazardous chemicals to become familiar with the format and understand the contents of the SDSs. The SDS includes a summary of available information such as the: (1) properties of each chemical; (2) physical, health, and environmental health hazards; (3) protective measures; and (4) safety precautions for handling, storing, and transporting the chemical. The information contained in the SDS must be in English (although it may be in other languages, as well). Old MSDSs will no longer be updated, however it is important to note, while MSDSs slowly work their way out of inventory books, it is possible that employees may still see them.

Relationship Between Safety Data Sheets and Labels
• Container labels provide initial critical information regarding the safe handling and use of hazardous chemicals.
• SDSs provide more detailed information, essentially a complete summary of all the known hazard and precautionary information associated with the material
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Given the sweeping changes to the SDS and the more modest changes to the industrial product labels, it is important to understand the continuing relationship between the two! Container labels provide the initial critical hazard information necessary to ensure safe use. The SDS provides the detailed summary of all that is known about the hazardous chemical. Many employers also utilize IN-PLANT labeling systems like HMIS to further summarize hazard information and train employees to understand how to protect themselves during their use. Some in-plant labeling systems will incorporate GHS pictograms, in this case the pictograms may use a black boarder.
Continued Use of “In-plant” Labeling Systems
• The Revised HCS did not require any changes in the use of IN-PLANT labeling systems like HMIS®
• The HMIS® Hazard Ratings can continue to guide employees on the safe handling and use of hazardous substances in the workplace
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Revised HCS has not required any changes to IN-PLANT labeling approaches like that used in HMIS. Consequently, HMIS and similar systems that include written programs and employee training resources can continue to service as a compliance tool.
HMIS® Introduction
The HMIS® uses a combination of colors, numbers and personal protection equipment
(PPE) codes to communicate the hazards of the chemicals you work with and show you how to
safely handle those chemicals.
You will find these labels on each chemical container in your workplace, so it’s important to
understand what these labels communicate!
HMIS® Label• Each label will contain information
on:– Health hazards– Flammability– Physical Hazards– PPE
• This label is representative of what you may see in your workplace
• With a quick glance of the label, you should be able to determine how hazardous the material is and what precautions to take.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
HMIS hazard ratings are provided on the IN-PLANT label shown here. New information provided under the Revised HCS (labels and SDS) will still allow employers to assign the HMIS hazard ratings for use on these labels. In addition, the “personal protection” designations and/or icons can still be used to direct employees to the site-specific requirements for that material.
What Does Each Label Block Tell Me?• Each of the four colors stands
for a different kind of hazard.• The numbers indicate how
serious the potential hazard is and the White block tells you what type of PPE to wear when handling the material
• Ratings are on a scale of 0-4, with 0 denoting a minimal hazard and 4 denoting a severe hazard

Health Hazard Ratings
• There are a lot of ways you can come in contact with a chemical:– You can get it on your hands– It can splash and soak through your clothes or get
in your eyes– Or you can breath the dust or vapors
Health Hazard Ratings
• There are also a lot of different ways that contact with a material can affect your health:– Some may cause health problems immediately
and are called ACUTE hazards. Some examples of acute hazards are materials that give you a headache or cause a chemical burn.
– Other materials are CHRONIC hazards and may cause health issues with repeated exposure. Cancer and lung disease are two examples.
Health Hazard Ratings
• The (*) in the Health block is used for health hazards with clear evidence of health effects from repeated overexposure, including carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity, and target organ toxicity.
• The hazard rating (0-4) in the Health block are used to communicate information on immediate health effects including irritants, skin sensitizers, corrosives and acute toxicity
