physical hazard
or a health
hazard
Any chemical which is
classified as a physical
hazard or a health
hazard, a simple

classified
Health Hazard
OLD
A chemical for which there is statistically
significant evidence based on at least one study
conducted in accordance with established
scientific principles that acute or chronic health
effects may occur in exposed employees.
The term "health hazard" includes chemicals which are:
• carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents,
reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers,
hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents
which act on the hematopoietic system, and agents
which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous
membranes.
Appendix A provides further definitions and explanations
of the scope of health hazards covered by this section.
Appendix B describes the criteria to be used to determine
whether or not a chemical is to be considered hazardous
for purposes of this standard.
NEW
A chemical which is classified as posing
one of the following hazardous effects:
• acute toxicity (any route of exposure);
• skin corrosion or irritation;
• serious eye damage or eye irritation;
• respiratory or skin sensitization;
• germ cell mutagenicity;
• carcinogenicity;
• reproductive toxicity;
• specific target organ toxicity (single or repeated
exposure); or aspiration hazard.
The criteria for determining whether a
chemical is classified as a health hazard
are detailed in Appendix A to
§1910.1200 -- Health Hazard Criteria
Label
OLD
NEW
Any written,
printed, or graphic
material displayed
on or affixed to
containers of
hazardous
chemicals
An appropriate group of
written, printed or graphic
information elements
concerning a hazardous
chemical that is affixed to,
printed on, or attached to
the immediate container of
a hazardous chemical, or to
the outside packaging.
Mixture
OLD
NEW
Any combination of
two or more
chemicals if the
combination is not,
in whole or in part,
the result of a
chemical reaction
A combination or a
solution composed
of two or more
substances in
which they do not
react
Physical Hazard
OLD
NEW
A chemical for which
there is scientifically valid
evidence that it is a
combustible liquid, a
compressed gas,
explosive, flammable, an
organic peroxide, an
oxidizer, pyrophoric,
unstable (reactive) or
water-reactive.
A chemical that is classified as
posing one of the following
hazardous effects: explosive;
flammable (gases, aerosols, liquids,
or solids); oxidizer (liquid, solid or
gas); self-reactive; pyrophoric
(liquid or solid); self-heating;
organic peroxide; corrosive to
metal; gas under pressure; or in
contact with water emits
flammable gas. See Appendix B to
§1910.1200 -- Physical Hazard
Criteria.
Trade Secret
OLD
NEW
Any confidential formula,
pattern, process, device,
information or compilation of
information that is used in an
employer's business, and that
gives the employer an
opportunity to obtain an
advantage over competitors who
do not know or use it. Appendix
D sets out the criteria to be used
in evaluating trade secrets.
Any confidential formula, pattern,
process, device, information or
compilation of information that is
used in an employer's business,
and that gives the employer an
opportunity to obtain an
advantage over competitors who
do not know or use it. Appendix E
to §1910.1200–Definition of Trade
Secret, sets out the criteria to be
used in evaluating trade secrets.

requirements will:

C
• Provide the workers with a better understanding of
the chemical hazards they may be exposed to
• Create more work for our overburdened EH&S staff
• Don't expect any changes in our program
Labels
Provides detailed and specific labeling requirements.
No longer performance oriented approach.
Once a chemical is classified, specific label
elements and information for each hazard class and
category are required.
Requires pictograms, signal word, and hazard &
precautionary statements on labels.

Safety Data Sheets
Specific sections and the order they are to be
listed on the Safety Data Sheets are now
required.
16-section format similar to the ANSI standard for Hazardous
Workplace Chemicals-Hazard Evaluation and Safety Data
Sheets and Precautionary Labeling Preparation (ANSI Z400.1 &
Z129.1 - 2010).
Uniformity will improve the effectiveness of
the safety data sheet.
Safety Data Sheet

1
• Identifies the chemical, recommended uses and the essential contact information
of the supplier.
• Hazards Identification
2
• Identifies the hazards of the chemical and the appropriate warning information
associated with those hazards.
• Composition/Information on Ingredients
3
• Identifies the ingredient(s) in the product, including impurities and stabilizing additives
and any trade secret claims.
• First Aid Measures
4
• Describes the initial care that should be given by untrained responders to an individual
