GHS Overview “Globally Harmonized System of the
Classification & Labeling of Chemicals and Safety Data Sheets”
United Nations guidance for a uniform (harmonized) hazard communication system• Initiated at the 1992 United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (UNCED) Based on ”major” existing systems
• USA and Canadian systems for the workplace, workplace, consumers and pesticides
• European Union directives for classification and labeling of substances and preparations
• United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.

OSHA rule Major changes to the Hazard
Communication Standards Changed “hazard determination” to “hazard
classification” Changed “MSDS” to “SDS” Changed definitions to comply with GHS Labels for shipped containers must have
GHS information• Workplace labels may be GHS labels, or other
labels that identify the material and hazards that are as effective as the GHS labels.
Safety Data Sheets with 16 sections• Will include guidance for transportation
information and environmental hazards.

OSHA rule
Other OSHA standards will be affected where applicable (incorporated by reference)• New wording on warning signs for
asbestos and other health hazards.
• Affected standards include: HAZWOPER, Combustible and Flammable Liquids, Welding, Cutting and Brazing, Chemical Hygiene Plan, Permit-Required Confined Space Entry, etc.

GHS Overview
Justification Label requirements differ, requiring
multiple labels for the same product Hazard definitions are not consistent
• Toxicity, Flammability Over 100 diverse hazard
communication regulations for manufacturer’s products globally.• Regulatory compliance is complex and
costly• Barrier to international trade in chemicals

GHS Overview Key Guiding Principles of the
Harmonization Process
Protection will not be reduced
Will be based on intrinsic properties (hazards) of chemicals
All types of chemicals will be covered

I. GHS - Hazard Classification
Defined criteria are used to assign a hazard classification
Physical Hazards• 16 categories
Health Hazards• 10 categories
Environmental Hazards
Mixtures GHS classification guidance for when chemicals
are mixed for in house use or when exported.

GHS Flammability Rating 1 = EXTREME ( FL. Class IA) “DANGER”
2 = MODERATE ( FL. Class IB) “DANGER”
3 = SLIGHT ( FL. Class IC / Comb. Class II) “WARNING”

(No Rating for Combustible Class IIIB or lower)

NFPA - Flammability4 = Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal pressure and temperature, or is
readily dispersed in air and will burn readily.
3 = Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient conditions.
2 = Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high temperature before ignition can occur.
1 = Must be preheated before ignition can occur.
0 = Materials that will not burn.
![Page 23: GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM for HAZARD COMMUNICATION](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164c3550346895dd6d838/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The next slide shows the difference, very slight difference, in regards to the temperature change from the NFPA Classes to the GHS flammability ratings.
Example: where the Class IA and IB = 73.0 degrees F and under GHS the rating of 1 = 73.4 degrees F
The other temperature’s are about the same difference = 0.3 or 0.4 degrees F

EFFECTIVE DATES - OSHA rule
Federal & State Effective Completion Dates:
December 1, 2013: Employers must inform employees on the new label elements and SDS format.
June 1, 2015* Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors and employers must comply with all modified provisions of this final rule.
Distributors may ship products labeled by manufacturers under the old system until December 1, 2015.
* This date coincides with the European Union implementation date for classification of mixtures.
June 1, 2016: Employer’s Must update alternative workplace labeling and hazard communication program as necessary, and provide additional employee training for newly identified physical or health hazards.
Transition Period Must Comply with either 29 CFR 1910.1200 (the final standard), or the current standard, or both for all chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors and employers.

31
The Impact on Safety and IH Professionals
Become familiar with the new system. Collect new SDS’s as provided by suppliers
and incorporate them into the existing MSDS system (or use a commercial service)
Get new GHS labels for “shipped containers”
Employers can use other systems for workplace labeling that are effective as the GHS labels.
Inform employees about new labels and SDS by December 1, 2013.
![Page 32: GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM for HAZARD COMMUNICATION](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164c3550346895dd6d838/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Impact on Chemical Manufacturers and
Distributors Prepare and use new GHS compatible labels
Prepare and distribute new GHS compatible Safety Data Sheets
Commercial “authoring” firms are ready and willing to help
