Global Harmonized System (GHS). International System for Communication and Classification of Chemical Hazards.

WHAT IS GHS? Safety is a Core Value of Quaker Chemical, therefore safety is at the heart of everything we do. As a world leader of chemical specialties, process fluids, lubricants and coatings for the manufacturing industry, Quaker enables our customers to thrive by finding opportunities to be more efficient, more profitable, and safer. Since its introduction in 2012, Quaker has taken proactive measures to implement the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

GHS was developed by an international group of experts with the support of the United Nations for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labeling of chemicals around the world. GHS is not a law or regulation, but a

set of building blocks or guidelines for ensuring the safe handling, production, transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials. The hazards of the materials remain the same, GHS has only improved the communication and presentation of those hazards. The goals for the development and implementation of GHS are to:

» Enhance the protection of human health and the environment

» Provide a recognized framework for those countries without an existing system

» Reduce the need for testing and evaluation of chemicals

» Facilitate international trade

» Reduce costs to governments and companies with different systems

OSHA has adopted portions of GHS which is called the Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012). The objectives of HazCom 2012 are:

» New label elements including pictograms and standard precautionary phrases

» Standardized format and content for Safety Data Sheets

» Modifications to the written Hazard Communication program

» Training of all employees on the changes

WHAT IS CHANGING?

» Hazard classification of every chemical mixture manufactured or imported in the United States must be classified into the new hazard group, class and category

» HMIS and NFPA labeling systems may still be used by some companies

» Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) have been renamed Safety Data Sheets (SDS). The SDS must have updated hazard class and category with required hazard statements (See Inserts for all pictograms and a Sample Label). The new SDS will contain the following sections: identification, hazard identification, composition, first aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, personal protective equipment, physical/chemical properties, stability/reactivity, toxicological, ecological, disposal, transport, and regulatory information

» New Hazard Labels include symbols called hazard pictograms. The labels will also incorporate the signal word “danger” (for more severe hazards) and “warning” (for less severe hazards), as well as standardized phrases that describe the dangers titled “hazard statements”

» Training of all current and new employees on the GHS system

STATUS AROUND THE WORLD. GHS has been adopted by 67 countries. Some of the countries or regions have fully employed GHS including Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Korea. New Legislation is being introduced to implement GHS across Europe, United States, and Brazil. The EU has fully implemented this for pure substances and is in the process of utilizing the system for mixtures. The United States execution began in 2012 and Canada expects to implement the system by June of 2015. Discover more at unece.org.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM QUAKER CHEMICAL. Quaker is fully committed to complying with the requirements of HazCom 2012 and is working extensively to ensure compliance by OSHA’s deadline of June 1, 2015. After June 1, 2015, Quaker may ship goods manufactured prior to the June 1st effective date without the revised GHS labels and SDS. After December 1, 2015, Quaker will be unable to send any products without the proper GHS labels and SDS, regardless of manufacture date. Execution of the new HazCom 2012 system creates significant challenges, requiring major changes to all Quaker SDS and industrial labels. Quaker is dedicated to helping our customers and distributors understand the

changes under way and has allotted substantial time and resources to ensure a smooth transition. Quaker will continue to support the transition through:

» Compliance by June 1st, 2015

» Access to GHS formatted SDS

» Proper classification of products

» Quaker will not display HMIS labelling on TD or SDS sheets in order to avoid confusion

» Ongoing training for new employees and refresher courses available on our intranet

» It is important to know our formulas have not changed even though some of the hazard warnings may change
