Hazards Communication Standard CSP’s Hazard Communication Program complies with

Osha’s HCS by communication to employees the hazards associated with materials used and produced in day to day operation.

The program complements the Hazwooper 24 hour course that each employee must complete before initiating activities in the CSP plant

The main aspects covered in this presentation are:◦ Hazardous materials classification◦ NFPA 704 signs ◦ Globally Harmonized System – GHS-SDS◦ DOT Transportation information, identification and

responsibilities

Communicate Errors to Management

Hazards Communication Standard

The general classification of hazardous material includes 9 Hazard Classes:

Class 1: Explosives. Class 2: Gases. Class 3: Flammable and Combustible Liquids. Class 4: Flammable Solids. Class 5: Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides. Class 6: Toxic Substances and Infectious Substances. Class 7: Radioactive Materials. Class 8: Corrosives. Class 9: Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials.


NFPA 704 Signs


Globally Harmonized System (GHS)

The globally harmonized system was established to create a single Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format for use across the globe.

Maintaining a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for every hazardous chemical and making them available to employees is part of OSHA’s Hazards Communication Standard’s Right-to-Know provisions –.

The provision says that employees have the right to know about the chemicals to which they are exposed –

It is one of five key responsibilities employers have under the HCS



There are 16 sections to a SDS sheet. 1. Identification includes product identifier; manufacturer or

distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use.

2. Hazard(s) identification includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements.

3. Composition/information on ingredients includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims.

4. First-aid measures includes important symptoms/ effects, acute, delayed; required treatment.



5. Fire-fighting measures lists suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment; chemical hazards from fire.

6. Accidental release measures lists emergency procedures; protective equipment; proper methods of containment and cleanup.

7. Handling and storage lists precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection lists OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs); Threshold Limit Values (TLVs); appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment (PPE).



Section 9, Physical and chemical properties lists the chemical's characteristics.

Section 10, Stability and reactivity lists chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reactions.

Section 11, Toxicological information includes routes of exposure; related symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of toxicity.



Section 12, Ecological information* Section 13, Disposal considerations* Section 14, Transport information* Section 15, Regulatory information* Section 16, Other information, includes the date of

preparation or last revision.
