What is GHS?
Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
AKA OSHA 2012 Final rule published March 26, 2012 Effective date – May 25, 2012
![Page 3: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
History of GHS
1992 - Rio Conference 2002 – 1ST Purple Book Issued 2005 – OSHA announces decision to
adopt GHS principles 2006 – NPRM 2012 – OSHA issues revision to
Hazard Communication regulation
![Page 4: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Other Agency Involvement
Department of Transportation Continues to harmonize regulations
with international regulations Environmental Protection Agency
Still evaluating GHS for pesticides Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) Nothing being done
![Page 5: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why is OSHA adopting GHS?
Common approach to classifying and communicating hazards
Improve quality and consistency of information
Harmonized definitions of hazards Specific requirements for labels Required format for SDS
![Page 6: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Status of GHS Implementation
67 countries in have or are in the process of implementing GHS
Implemented or in EU – Full compliance 2015 Australia, New Zealand Japan China – Required 2011 Mexico, Brazil Canada – Not adopted yet
![Page 7: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Major Changes
Hazard classification versus risk classification (no longer performance-oriented)
Labels – specific requirements including pictograms
16 Section SDS

Transition Period – Comply with OSHA 1994, OSHA 2012 or both
![Page 39: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES
For Quaker 10,000 products will need classified
under the new system Need GHS classification for raw
materials Need GHS-compliant SDS information
from raw material suppliers Changes to labels and SDS Train employees on new labels,
pictograms and SDS format
![Page 40: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES
For Employers Obtain new SDS from suppliers Train employees on new labels,
pictograms, SDS Update Hazard Communication
program Update alternative labeling systems if
being used Transition period with both systems will
create confusion in the workplace
![Page 41: GHS: The New OSHA Challenge Presented at UL Pure Safety User Group September 19, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5513f9d7550346d8488b4584/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
