(includes GHS & Final Rule
2012 updates)
SOP-GEN-013B
Prepared by Shannon Smith
Last Revision October 2013
OSHA’s HAZCOM Regulation
 The OSHA Hazard
Communication Regulation
was passed in 1983 to
protect workers from
hazardous chemicals in the
workplace. It established
the worker’s “Right to
Know” what he or she was
exposed to at work.
OSHA’s HAZCOM Regulation
 In 2012, the regulation was
updated to include the
United Nations’ GHS
system. This revision
emphasized the worker’s
“Right to Understand” the
hazards of the chemicals
and how to protect
themselves.
HAZCOM final rule and GHS
 The Globally
Harmonized System of
Classification and
Labeling of Chemicals,
also know as GHS, is a
document created by the
United Nations to
standardize how to
classify and label
hazardous chemicals
among participating
countries.
What is GHS?
 The goal of the GHS was for workers of any
nationality to easily recognize and understand
the hazards of the chemicals they handleregardless of language or literacy.
Why HazCom?
 The HAZCOM Regulation, “ requires … all
employers to provide information to their
employees about the hazardous chemicals to
which they are exposed, by means of a
hazard communication program, labels and
other forms of warning, safety data sheets,
and information and training.”
 OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(1) is the
regulation number of this standard.
TDI’s HAZCOM Program
TDI’s HAZCOM program is
contained in the Safety
Management Manual as
SOP-GEN-013B
When is HAZCOM training required?
 1910.1200(h)(1)
 Employers shall provide employees with
effective information and training on
hazardous chemicals in their work area at the
time of their initial assignment, and whenever
a new chemical hazard the employees have
not previously been trained about is
introduced into their work area.
Safety Data Sheets (formerly MSDS)
 A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is prepared by the
manufacturer or importer to give information
about a chemical or substance.
 After Dec 2015, all Safety Data Sheets must
present this information in a standard format.
 Until then, SDSs may be in multiple formats.
SDS Binder
 An SDS binder containing SDSs for all
chemicals in the area should be in a centrally
located, easily accessible area at all TDI
Brooks facilities and on all vessels.
 It should contain:



TDI Hazcom Program
A list of chemicals in at the site and
An SDS sheet for each chemical on the list.
??????????????????
 Where is the nearest SDS binder?
 Does it contain the policy and chemical list?
SDS Page on TDI Ship Web Pages
 TDI Brooks has a ship based set of web
pages that includes an SDS page.
 The SDS page contains:




The TDI HazCom Program
A blank chemicals list form in Excel
SDSs for commonly used chemicals
Links to search engines to finds SDSs

SDSs can be downloaded and printed as needed
The SDS page is organized by
types and departments.

the manufacturer.
 Section 2 lists all hazards
Hazards
and required label
elements.
First Aid
 Section 4 of the new SDS format contains
first aid measures.
Handling and Storage
 Section 7- Pay attention to this- it will tell you
recommended temperature, ventilation and
what NOT to store it with. (This one is for
household bleach)
Exposure Control/ PPE
 Section 8- will state recommended PPE.
Stability and Reactivity
 Section 10- warns of any strong reactions
with incompatible substances.
??????????????????
 This SDS section is for acetone. Should it be stored
with bleach? Why?
??????????????????
 No. But why?
??????????????????
 No. But why?
Labels
 Manufacturer labels will be required to
include four elements:


Pictogram representing the hazard
Signal Word indicating hazard level




“Warning” – less severe
“Danger” – more severe
Hazard Statement describing type and
degree of hazard
Precautionary Statement of recommended
measures to protect the worker
Sample of new label elements from SDS
Labeling Secondary Containers
 You may transfer a product into a smaller
container or spray/ squirt bottle for easier
use.
 But- you must label it with at least:


Product name
Words or pictograms to convey the general
physical or chemical hazards
??????????????????
 Is this secondary
container labeled
correctly?
??????????????????
 Is this secondary
container labeled
correctly?
No. The product is
identified, but there
is no indication of the
hazards.
??????????????????
 This secondary
container lists a
description of how the
worker should protect
him or herself.
 Is it labeled
correctly?
??????????????????
 This secondary
container lists a
description of how the
worker should protect
him or herself.
Yes. It indicates the
hazards by telling the
worker what personal
protective equipment
is needed
??????????????????
 What about
this one?
??????????????????
 What about
this one?
Yes. The pictures
indicate there are
hazards to the skin and
eyes and recommend
protective equipment.
Some Exceptions for Labeling
GHS Labeling of secondary containers
according to OSHA regulations does not
apply to the following (1910.1200(b)(5-6)):
 Chemicals that are specifically regulated by
other agencies (medical, biological,
radioactive, agricultural, cosmetic)
 Tobacco or tobacco products
 Food or alcohol intended for consumer use
Other exceptions
 Wood or wood products that only present
flammability hazards. (not chemically treated)
 Over the counter drugs, first aid supplies
 Cosmetics
 Any consumer product used for its intended
purpose that does not present exposure
greater than reasonably expected for its
intended use (hand soap)
Memory is the first thing to go…
 If this looks familiar, you need some practice making
labels….
GHS Pictograms- why we need them
GHS Pictograms
 The real reason we need
pictograms is that hazardous
materials are shipped around
the world and are handled daily
by people from many countries
and levels of education. An
SDS may give all the important
information about the hazards
of a substance, but that is
useless if the worker handling it
cannot read or understand it.
What do these signs mean to you?
A warning you can’t understand
is no warning at all.
What you don’t know really can
hurt you…
A picture is more effective and
communicates across language
and literacy barriers.
GHS Pictograms
 There are nine pictograms adopted by the GHS to
identify chemical hazards.
Irritant
Explosives
Acutely toxic
Self-Reactives
Skin sensitizer
Organic Peroxides
Skin corrosion,
burns
Eye damage
Corrosive to
metals
Aquatic Toxicity
GHS Pictograms
Gas under
pressure
Acute Toxicity
(fatal or toxic)
•Flammable
•Pyrophoric - ignites when exposed to air
•Self Reactive – produces heat by itself
•Respiratory Sensitizer – causes nose and throat
to become hypersensitive
•Target Organ Toxicity – harmful to organs
•Aspiration Toxicity – harmful when inhaled
Health Hazard
Technical
Terms
Mean the substance
causes the following
problems:
•Carcinogen
•Cancer
•Mutagenicity
•Genetic mutation
•Reproductive Toxicity
•Birth defects or infertility
•Respiratory Sensitizer
•Target Organ Toxicity
•Hypersensitive nose, mouth,
throat
•Organ damage
•Aspiration Toxicity
•Lung, nose and throat damage
Oxidizers
 This symbol represents
Oxidizers.
 Oxidizers are chemicals that
release large amounts of
oxygen into the air.
 Oxidizers tend to be
corrosive– so wear PPE
 They are also reactive– they
react strongly with other
products
Organic Peroxides
You may have noticed that the Exploding Bomb
pictogram uses the term “Organic Peroxides”.
They are hazardous because they are:
•Thermally unstable – (self heating)
•Liable to explode
•Explosives
•Self-Reactives
•Organic Peroxides
•Burn rapidly
•React dangerously with other substances
•Are sensitive to impact or friction
(think nitro glycerin explosives)
Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides
L
VE to BURN!!
They love starting fires and
making them BIGGER…
•Store them by themselves
•Keep them away from flammables
GHS Pictograms Posters
 Every TDI-Brooks vessel or facility should
have a poster of the GHS pictograms posted
in a central area near the SDS Binder. If your
area does not have a poster, email a request
for one to [email protected].
 There is a printable GHS symbols poster on
the SDS page of the ship web pages
 GHS symbols can also easily be found online
with a simple search
How to detect a chemical
Most of you have found a
broken bottle or spilled
substance by smell before.
 Smell is one of the
main ways to detect
if a chemical is
present or is leaking
from a container.
How to detect a chemical
 Sometimes,
detecting a spill is
more obvious.
Sight is another way to
detect if a chemical is
present or is leaking from
a container.
How to detect a chemical
 Other dangerous
chemicals have
no smell. Carbon
monoxide can’t be
seen or smelled,
but can be fatal.
 Detectors can be
used to monitor
these types of
chemicals.
How to Protect Yourself
 TDI has created PPE Matrices as a quick
reference for what PPE is required to protect
you from routine tasks.
 The Environmental laboratory has a specific
matrix to address standard operating
procedures which expose the worker to
chemicals.
 When exposed to chemicals on the vessels,
consult the PPE matrix , product label and the
SDS before using it.
??????????????????
 Where is the nearest PPE Matrix that applies to your work?
OSPHO- hazards
 Vessels frequently have
OSPHO metal treatment on
board. This is a solution of
75% phosphoric acid.
 This acid is highly corrosive
and produces very flammable
gas when applied to metal.
 Make sure the SDS is in the
binder and review it before
use.
OSPHO- hazards
 PPE- Keep area ventilated
and wear chemical/ acid
resistant gloves and eye
protection (face shield,
safety glasses or goggles)
Unidentified Chemical????
 SOP-GEN-013B Sec 4.4
 If the label has worn off or
can’t be read, and you
don’t know what it is, give
it to the Party Chief or
Chief Mate for storage
and proper disposal at
shore.
Accidental Exposure Procedure
 SOP-GEN-013B Sec 5.0
 TDI-Brooks will follow Accidental Exposure
Procedures when a worker has been
accidentally exposed to a chemical through
skin contact, inhalation or ingestion. The
primary focus is to provide first aid to the
worker and record the incident. If accidental
exposure occurs, follow these steps:
Accidental Exposure Procedure
 Stop or minimize exposure. Remove contaminated




clothing. If inhalation exposure, move the person to a
well ventilated area
Identify the chemical
Find the first aid measures on the container or SDS
and provide first aid if appropriate. (Section 4 on
new SDS)
Notify the supervisor as soon as possible
Complete the Employee Incident Report Form.
Even if there seems to be no harm done, some
reactions are delayed and may not show up for
hours.
Informing Contractors
 SOG-GEN-013B Sec 4.7
 Aboard vessels, it is the Master’s
responsibility to provide contractors coming
on board with the information below. At the
offices and on shore facilities, it is the
responsibility of the person who hired the
contractor to provide that contractor with the
following information:
Informing Contractors
 Any hazardous chemicals to which
contractors may be exposed while on site
 The location of the safety data sheets
 Location and use of the PPE Matrix, which
describes precautions and controls to lessen
or prevent possible exposure by use of the
appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE).
Non-Routine Tasks
 SOP-GEN-013B Sec 4.6
 Periodically, employees may be required to perform
non-routine work or tasks requiring the use of
hazardous chemicals, materials or work in associated
hazardous locations. The supervisor of the
workers who will perform the work is responsible
for conducting a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) of the
task and ensuring that each impacted employee is
provided information concerning the chemicals,
materials, or exposure potential of activity.
Non-Routine Tasks
The JSA will examine risks and hazards of the task and
provide information concerning:
 Specific hazards that may be associated with the
chemical or material
 Protective and other safety measures to be taken
 Measures that will be taken to minimize or prevent
hazard exposure including ventilation, respirators,
storage, postings, and Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
 Review of the chemical or material SDS or other
applicable technical information
 Review any emergency procedures to be taken
 **If the addition of the new chemical is a result of a
change in procedures, a Management of Change may
be required first.
