Hazard Communication Program
• Employee Right-To-Understand the hazards in his/her workplace.
• System of Signs, Labels, Warnings and Safety Data Sheets
• Always Know hazards in Advance of Working with ANY Materials!
• GHS – GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM OF LABELING & COMMUNICATION
What are the two major elements in GHS?
The two major elements of GHS are:
1. Classification of the hazards of chemicals according to the GHS rules. GHS provides guidance on classifying pure chemicals and mixtures according to its criteria or rules.
2. Communication of the hazards and precautionary information using Safety Data Sheets and labels:
Labels - With the GHS system, certain information will appear on the label. For example, the chemical identity may be required. Standardized hazard statements, signal words and symbols will appear on the label according to the classification of that chemical or mixture. Precautionary statements may also be required, if adopted by your regulatory authority.Safety Data Sheets (SDS) - The GHS SDS has 16 sections in a set order, and information requirements are prescribed.
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs)

Where to find SDSs:
GHS Labeling
Supplier labels
Labeling requirements are in a process of change from older HMS system to the new GHS system. The label shown is a typical GHS label. It will have the product name, a pictogram, signal word, hazard statement and supplier information as a minimum.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS / WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) provide all you need to know about the material’s hazards.– http://www.calstatela.edu/ehs/chemical-and-laboratory-safety
• Campus Storage Priorities– Storage for Bulk Hazardous Materials (put in locked HAZMAT sheds away from buildings)– Proper Signage [NFPA emphasis]– Consult with Chemical Safety Officer at 3-3546
• Once a hazardous material is considered waste it requires proper waste labeling– Call RM/EHS for Pick-Up at Ext. 3-3531 or 3-6359

Heat Illness Conditions
• Working in high heat can be DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
• Mainly relates to working in direct sunlight• High Temperature [Trigger 80 degrees]• High Humidity • Clothing, Workload, Duration
48
Heat Illness SymptomsHeat Exhaustion•Headache•Feeling faint, dizzy, weak•Nausea•Muscle cramps•Cool skin, heavy sweating, increased pulse
Heat Stroke•Hot, dry skin•Rapid breathing•Delirium•Convulsions•Unconsciousness or marked abnormal mental status
Water, Shade Rest, Possible SHC Evaluation
Immediate 911 call,Whole Body Cooling
Acclimatization
• A supervisor must understand acclimatization:– Heavy work in the sun needs several days of work
to allow the body to adjust.– Once acclimatized to heavy work, not working for
several days requires working up to heavy work again (a period of days).
– Pay closer attention to:• New workers• Returning workers (first of the season, vacations, etc.)
Heat Illness/Injury Risk Factors
• Clothing – best is cotton, loose with sleeves• Working hard creates heat• Alcohol, High Sugar and Caffeinated drinks
are diuretics (not helpful)• Medications – many create problems• Overweight and/or Older (>65 yr)
Heat IllnessEmployer’s Required Prevention
• 80 degrees– Access weather forecasts (e.g., link below)– Provide Water – 1 qt./hour/person (clean, cool)– Provide Adequate Shade – enough for all workers – 10 minute Shade Breaks every 2 hrs – Shade Breaks on request until recovered
• 95 degrees– Emergency communications in place– Observation of Workers for symptoms – Close supervision of new employees– Buddy System
