The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for Hazard Classification and Labeling Training Program  2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
What is GHS?      2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC GHS is an acronym for Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals A common and coherent approach to defining and classifying hazards, and communicating information on labels and safety data sheets Target audiences include workers, consumers, transport workers, and emergency responders Provides the underlying infrastructure for establishment of national, comprehensive chemical safety programs
Why is GHS needed?     2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC No one country has the ability to identify and specifically regulate every hazardous chemical product For example; in the United States there are an estimated one million such products Adoption of requirements for information to accompany the product helps address protection needs
Goals of GHS      2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Enhance the protection of human health and the environment by providing an internationally comprehensible system Provide a recognized framework to develop regulations for those countries without existing systems Facilitate international trade in chemicals whose hazards have been identified on an international basis Reduce the need for testing and evaluation against multiple classification systems Page 4
Benefits of GHS Government        2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Fewer chemical accidents and incidents Lower health care costs Improved protection of workers and public from chemical hazards Avoid duplication of effort in creating national systems Reduction in the costs of enforcement Improved reputation on chemical issues, both domestically and internationally Page 5
Benefits of GHS Companies         2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Safer work environment and improved relations with employees Increased in efficiency and reduced costs from compliance with hazard communication regulations Application of expert systems resulting in maximizing expert resources and minimizing labor and costs Facilitation of electronic transmission systems with international scope Expanded use of training programs on health and safety Reduced costs due to fewer accidents and illnesses Improved corporate image and credibility Page 6
Benefits of GHS Workers & People    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Improved safety for workers and others through consistent and simplified communications on chemical hazards and practices for safe handling and use Greater awareness of hazards, resulting in safer use of chemicals in the workplace and in the home Page 7
Scope of GHS General    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Covers all hazardous chemical substances, dilute solutions, and mixtures Pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics and pesticide residues in food will not be covered at the point of intentional intake, but will be covered where workers may be exposed, and in transport
Scope of GHS Transport  For transport, it is expected application of GHS will be similar to application of current transport requirements;     2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC GHS physical, acute and environmental hazard criteria are expected to be adopted Containers of dangerous goods will have pictograms addressing acute toxicity, physical hazards, and environmental hazards GHS hazard communication elements such as; signal words, hazard statements and SDS are not expected to be adopted in the transport sector Page 9
Scope of GHS Workplace  In the workplace, it is expected most of the GHS elements will be adopted;      2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC GHS physical and health hazard criteria Labels having harmonized core information under GHS (signal words, hazard statements and symbols, etc.) Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Employee training to ensure effective communication Page 10
Scope of GHS Consumer  For the consumer sector, it is expected labels will be the primary focus of GHS application;    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Appropriate GHS hazard criteria are expected to be adopted Labels will include the core elements of GHS (signal words, hazard statements and symbols, etc.), subject to some sector-specific considerations in certain systems (i.e. risk-based labeling) Page 11
Scope of GHS Pesticides  For pesticides, it is expected that GHS will be adopted    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Appropriate GHS hazard criteria are expected to be adopted Pesticide labels will include the core elements of GHS (signal words, hazard statements and symbols, etc.), subject to some sector-specific considerations in certain systems Page 12
GHS Elements  Classification Criteria     Hazard Communication    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Physical Hazards Health and Environmental Hazards Mixtures Labels Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
What is Hazard Classification? The term “hazard classification” is used to indicate only the intrinsic hazardous properties of substances and mixtures are considered and involves the following three steps:     2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Identification of relevant data regarding the hazards of a substance or mixture Subsequent review of data to ascertain the hazards associated with the substance or mixture A decision on whether the substance or mixture will be classified as a hazardous substance or mixture and the degree of hazard, where appropriate, by comparison of the data with agreed hazard classification criteria Page 14
Physical Hazards      2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Based primarily on existing UN Model Regulation on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Classification process provides references to specific test methods and criteria for classification All mixtures should be tested for physical hazards Recommends person responsible for GHS implementation consult the GHS Document for complete information Page 15
Physical Hazards Definitions     2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Gas: A substance or mixture which at 50°C has a vapor pressure greater than 300 kPa; or is completely gaseous at 20°C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa Liquid: A substance or mixture that is not a gas and which has a melting point or initial melting point of 20°C or less at standard pressure of 101.3 kPa Solid: A substance or mixture not meeting the definitions of a liquid or a gas
Physical Hazards Types           2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Explosives Flammable Gases Flammable Aerosols Oxidizing Gases Gases Under Pressure Flammable Liquids Flammable Solids Self-Reactive Substances Pyrophoric Liquids        Pyrophoric Solids Self-Heating Substances Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Oxidizing Liquids Oxidizing Solids Organic Peroxides Corrosive to Metals Page 17
Health & Environmental Hazards    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC GHS health and environmental hazard criteria represent a harmonized approach for existing classification systems Recommends person responsible for GHS implementation consult the GHS Document for complete information Page 18
Health Hazards Types            2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Acute Toxicity Skin Corrosion/Irritation Serous Eye Damage/Eye Irritation Respiratory or Skin Sensitization Germ Cell Mutagenicity Carcinogenicity Reproductive Toxicology Target Organ Systemic Toxicity – Single Exposure Target Organ Systemic Toxicity – Repeated Exposure Aspiration Toxicity
Environmental Hazards Types  Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment    2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC Acute aquatic toxicity Chronic aquatic toxicity • Bioaccumulation potential • Rapid degradability Page 20
