elements and/or compounds
Chemical NameOLD
The scientific designation of a chemical in
accordance with the nomenclature system
developed by the International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) or the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
rules of nomenclature, or a name which will clearly identify the chemical for
the purpose of conducting a hazard evaluation.
NEWThe scientific designation
of a chemical in accordance with the
nomenclature system developed by the
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) or the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
rules of nomenclature, or a name that will clearly
identify the chemical for the purpose of conducting
a hazard classification
Hazardous Chemical OLD
Any chemical which is a
physical hazard or a health
hazard
NEW
Any chemical which is classified as a physical
hazard or a health hazard, a simple
asphyxiant, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas, or
hazard not otherwise classified
Health HazardOLDA chemical for which there is
statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees.
The term "health hazard" includes chemicals which are:
• carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes.
Appendix A provides further definitions and explanations of the scope of health hazards covered by this section.
Appendix B describes the criteria to be used to determine whether or not a chemical is to be considered hazardous for purposes of this standard.
NEWA chemical which is classified as posing one of the following hazardous effects:
• acute toxicity (any route of exposure);• skin corrosion or irritation;• serious eye damage or eye irritation;• respiratory or skin sensitization; • germ cell mutagenicity;• carcinogenicity; • reproductive toxicity; • specific target organ toxicity (single or repeated exposure);
or aspiration hazard. The criteria for determining whether a chemical is classified as a health hazard are detailed in Appendix A to §1910.1200 -- Health Hazard Criteria
LabelOLD
Any written, printed, or graphic material
displayed on or affixed to containers
of hazardous chemicals
NEWAn appropriate group of
written, printed or graphic information elements
concerning a hazardous chemical that is affixed to, printed on, or attached to
the immediate container of a hazardous chemical, or to
the outside packaging.
MixtureOLD
Any combination of two or more
chemicals if the combination is not, in whole or in part,
the result of a chemical reaction
NEW
A combination or a solution
composed of two or more
substances in which they do not
react
Physical HazardOLD
A chemical for which there is scientifically valid evidence that it is a
combustible liquid, a compressed gas, explosive,
flammable, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer, pyrophoric, unstable (reactive) or water-
reactive.
NEWA chemical that is classified as
posing one of the following hazardous effects: explosive; flammable (gases, aerosols, liquids, or solids); oxidizer (liquid, solid or gas); self-
reactive; pyrophoric (liquid or solid); self-heating; organic
peroxide; corrosive to metal; gas under pressure; or in contact
with water emits flammable gas. See Appendix B to §1910.1200 --
Physical Hazard Criteria.
Trade SecretOLD
Any confidential formula, pattern, process, device,
information or compilation of information that is used in an employer's business, and that
gives the employer an opportunity to obtain an
advantage over competitors who do not know or use it. Appendix D sets out the criteria to be used
in evaluating trade secrets.
NEWAny confidential formula, pattern,
process, device, information or compilation of information that is used in an employer's business, and that gives the employer an
opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it. Appendix E to §1910.1200–Definition of Trade Secret, sets out the criteria to be used in evaluating trade secrets.

Do you think the new Hazard Communication requirements will:
A •Provide the workers with a better understanding of the chemical hazards they may be exposed to
B •Create more work for our overburdened EH&S staff
C •Don't expect any changes in our program
LabelsProvides detailed and specific labeling requirements. No longer performance oriented approach.
Once a chemical is classified, specific label elements and information for each hazard class and category are required.
Requires pictograms, signal word, and hazard & precautionary statements on labels.

In House LabelsAlternatives are permitted for in house labeling BUT the information must be
consistent with the new format and label elements.
Original label or
Product identifier and words, pictures,
symbols or combination to provide general information on the
hazards
Hazard classification system must be
consistent with updated GHS
Safety Data SheetsSpecific sections and the order they are to be listed on the Safety Data Sheets are now required.
16 section format similar to the ANSI standard for‑ Hazardous Workplace Chemicals-Hazard Evaluation and Safety Data Sheets and Precautionary Labeling Preparation (ANSI Z400.1 & Z129.1 - 2010).
Uniformity will improve the effectiveness of the safety data sheet.
Safety Data Sheet1
• Identification• Identifies the chemical, recommended uses and
the essential contact information of the supplier.
2• Hazards Identification
• Identifies the hazards of the chemical and the appropriate warning information associated with those hazards.
3• Composition/Information on Ingredients
• Identifies the ingredient(s) in the product, including impurities and stabilizing additives and any trade secret claims.
4• First Aid Measures
• Describes the initial care that should be given by untrained responders to an individual who has been exposed to the chemical.
Safety Data Sheet
5• Fire Fighting Measures
• Recommendations for fighting a fire caused by the chemical.
6 • Accidental Release Measures• Recommendations on the appropriate
