Hazard Statement
• Statement associated with the hazard class or
degree of hazard
• hazard class and category that describes the
nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical,
including, where appropriate, the degree of
hazard.
Precautionary Statement

measures to be taken to minimize or prevent
adverse effects resulting from exposure to a
hazardous chemical, or improper storage or
handling of a hazardous chemical

Purple Book and OSHA
• Labels for secondary containers
• Use sections to communicate what hazards
are associated with the chemical
• Chemical Identity
• Hazards ID– HMIS
• Manufacturer Name
• SDS –
• Pictograms if possible
• Train employees on the sections used
Secondary labels
GHS Labels
These types of labels should refer
employees directly back to the SDS or
Original container
• Chemical Containers will have GHS pictograms
located on them as part of OSHA compliance only
• DOT HM Labels cannot be substituted for OSHA
compliance

Manufacturer Name
Hazard Identifier HMIS, NFPA
or other label type

Mixture Classification
Generally use test data for the mixture, when available

Use bridging principles, if applicable
(defined in purple book) classifying untested mixtures
but there is sufficient data on the components
and/or similar tested mixtures
Dilution, Batching ,Concentration , Substantially Similar , Aerosols
Hazards Not Otherwise Classified
• This definition was added to ensure that hazards currently
covered by HCS continue to be covered
• Information will be required on the safety data sheets in
Section 2
• Hazard information on the label, is not mandatory, but can be
provided under supplementary information
• Such hazards must also be addressed in worker training

For health and environmental hazards, estimate
hazards based on the known ingredient information
Simple Asphyxiant
• “Simple asphyxiant” means a substance or mixture that
displaces oxygen in the ambient atmosphere, and can thus
cause oxygen deprivation in those who are exposed, leading
to unconsciousness and death.
» Label: Warning. May displace oxygen and cause rapid
suffocation.
Inert compressed gas:
Nitrogen
Pyrophoric Gas
means a chemical in a gaseous state that
will ignite spontaneously in air at a temperature of 130
degrees F (54.4 degrees C) or below.
Label: Danger. Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air.

3/1/2016
Some Health Hazards Regulated:
Combustible Dust
Combustible dust is covered separately from HNOC, but is
not specifically defined.
• Guidance for defining combustible dust is to be taken from
existing documents, including the directive for the National
Emphasis Program; the NFPA standards also provide useful
information.
• Combustible dust must be addressed on labels where
appropriate:
» Warning. May form combustible dust concentrations in air.
» Paragraph (f)(4)may apply to materials shipped in solid form,
that create combustible dust when processed
Other Standards Affected
• Flammable Liquids (1910.106; 1926.52)

• Modifications to the Process Safety
Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals

Benzene (1910.1028)
Health Standards
• The substance-specific standards generally pre-date the
HCS, and do not have a comprehensive approach to hazard
communication.
• The final rule references HazCom 2012 in each of these
standards to ensure they have all the protections of the rule.
• In addition, OSHA updated the provisions regarding what is
to be communicated to workers to ensure the health effects
are consistent with the GHS criteria.
• Regulated area signs will need to be updated to reflect the
new language.
• Employers have until June 1, 2016 to update the signs.

Criteria for Flammable Liquids
Physical Hazards Criteria:
Flammable Liquids and Gases
GHS Definitions 1910.106
Flash point, Boiling Point, Flammable Aerosols
Proposed integration of the physical hazards criteria would:
Incorporate GHS definitions of flammable liquid/gas into PSM and health
hazard into Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
(HAZWOPER);
Change flammable/combustible liquids to conform in categories, terminology,
FP and BP to the GHS
Incorporate definition of flammable aerosols into the Flammable and
Combustible Liquids Standard, 1910.106
