Introduction and Applicability

The Safe Transportation of Magnetized Materials 2014 Introduction and Applicability ™

2

Introduction This program is designed to assist you in the proper transportation procedures when offering Magnetized materials for transportation by air. When offering any hazardous material the entire transportation community and the general public rely on the shipper to carry out their duties responsibly. Let’s begin our study by briefly reviewing how dangerous goods regulations develop and change.

Dangerous Goods Regulatory Development Flowchart

Generally, the process of regulatory development and change flows through the various agencies as follows. The United Nations Committee of Experts (UNCOE) debates and studies issues for a two year period, before passing its recommendations to The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime organization (IMO). These agencies make appropriate changes to their regulations. IATA, US DOT, Transport Canada, etc., will then change (or propose changes) to their regulations, based on the changes in the international standards. The effort to provide a globally “harmonized” dangerous goods system is designed to facilitate ease of international commerce with systems in place to protect people, property and the environment.

UNCOE Recommends Model

3

Applicability There are many different agencies and many references involved in the development of dangerous goods regulations. These include, but are not limited to:

United Nations Recommendations on the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods – international recommendations or “Model” Regulations

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49 (49 CFR) – legal requirements for shipping

hazardous materials to, from or through the United States. The ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air – legal

requirements for international air transport of dangerous goods. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations – commercial standard, complies with ICAO.

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) – legal requirements for

international transport of dangerous goods by sea.

Transport Dangerous Goods Canada (TDG) – Canada.

The Mexican Secretariat for Communications and Transport (SCT) – Mexico.

ADR/RID – European standards for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail. In addition to the parties listed above, carriers play a major role in making recommendations. Since there are literally thousands of dangerous goods shipments everyday, it must be assured that they will be properly packed, marked, labeled and declared. Everyone in the transportation chain relies TOTALLY on the shipper to offer the shipment correctly. Note that for most shipments of dangerous goods by air, 49 CFR authorizes the use of the ICAO Technical Instructions, with some additional conditions and limits. Air carriers require compliance with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, which contain the legal requirements from ICAO and additional commercial requirement. Since magnetized materials are not regulated by 49 CFR, we will only use the information from the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations in this training program. The primary regulatory reference utilized in this course will be the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR – 55th Edition).


4

What are hazardous materials/dangerous goods?

49 CFR, §171.8 defines a hazardous material as: “…a substance or material that the Secretary of Transportation has determined is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce, and has designated as hazardous under section 5103 of Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5103). The term includes hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, marine pollutants, elevated temperature materials, materials designated as hazardous in the Hazardous Materials Table (see 49 CFR 172.101), and materials that meet the defining criteria for hazard classes and divisions in part 173 of subchapter C of this chapter.”

IATA DGR, 1.0 defines a dangerous good as: “Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety, property or the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in these regulations or which are classified according to these regulations.”

Note that due to unique risks posed on an aircraft, some materials may be regulated when transported by air, but need not be identified as hazardous when transported by highway.


5

To whom do the regulations apply? 49 CFR applies anytime a person is transporting or offering for transport, a hazardous material, regulated by 49 CFR, to, from or through the United States. The IATA DGR is the air transport industry standard for transporting dangerous goods. Generally, unless the IATA DGR is followed for air transport of dangerous goods, the shipment will not be accepted by the air carrier. These regulations apply to anyone who:

Handles; Offers for transport; Transports hazardous materials; Causes hazardous materials to be transported; Fills hazardous materials packages; Loads or unloads transport vehicles or freight containers; Selects or purchases packagings for hazardous materials use; Marks and labels packages or placards vehicles Prepares shipping papers or emergency response information. Manufactures or maintains hazmat packaging or their components

Shipper’s responsibilities In all sets of regulations, it is the shipper who bears the ultimate responsibility when offering dangerous goods in transportation. These duties include:

Classification Identification Consignment preparation including; Packing, Marking, Labeling, Documenting, Placarding Retention of records Training Security

Operator’s (Carrier’s) responsibilities Operators (carriers) physically carry the dangerous goods from point to point. Typical carrier duties include

Acceptance Storage and loading Inspection of information Retention of records Reporting releases or undeclared hazardous materials Training Security

A carrier may ask for a signed statement or ask for an outside source to verify the shipment or request additional certificates as a condition of carriage.


6

Penalties. Penalties for not complying with the rules are set in 49 CFR and apply to all modes of transport in the U.S.

Training requirements Training requirements under 49 CFR, Part 172, subpart H, require initial training for hazmat employees. Hazmat employees are defined as having a direct effect on the safe transportation of hazardous materials. However, since magnetized materials are not regulated in 49 CFR, the specific training requirements of 49 CFR do not apply.

The IATA DGR (1.5) requires personnel to receive training in the requirements commensurate with their responsibilities.

1.5.2.2 Training must include: (a) general familiarization training — which must be aimed at providing familiarity with the general provisions; (b) function specific training — which must provide detailed training in the requirements applicable to the function for which that person is responsible; and (c) safety training — which must cover the hazards presented by dangerous goods, safe handling and emergency response procedures. Recurrent training must take place within 24 months of previous training to ensure knowledge is current. In planning training courses, the various categories of personnel must be familiar with minimum subject matter as indicated in Table 1.5.A.

49 CFR and Penalties In the United States, the Department of Transportation regulates the transportation of hazardous materials by all modes of transportation. 49 CFR authorizes the use of the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code in Sections 171.22, 171.23, 171.24 and 171.25, as long as certain conditions are met. Failure to comply with 49 CFR the ICAO Technical Instructions or the IMDG Code may result in penalties. There are two types of penalties, Civil penalties and Criminal penalties. Civil penalties: fines that can range up to $75,000 per violation, per day. These penalties are usually imposed against the company. Criminal penalties: for knowing and willing violations of the regulations. Fines can range up to $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for corporations. In addition, anyone found guilty of a criminal penalty may face up to 10 years in prison. See 49 CFR, Part 107, Subpart D, Appendix A for a List of Frequently Cited Violations.

NOTES

Lesson 2

Classification

The Safe Transportation of Magnetized Materials 2014 Classification ™

11

The nine classes of hazardous materials/dangerous goods There are nine classes of dangerous goods. Some of these classes are further divided into divisions, based on their hazard characteristics. Our focus in this manual is Magnetized materials which fall in Class 9 Class 1 Explosives (Thirteen Compatibility Groups) 1.1 Mass explosion hazard 1.2 Projection Hazard but not a mass explosion hazard 1.3 Fire hazard, minor blast hazard, and/or a minor projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. 1.4 No significant hazard 1.5 Very insensitive, mass explosion hazard 1.6 Extremely insensitive explosives, no mass explosion hazard Class 2 Gases (No Packing Groups) 2.1 Flammable gas 2.2 Non-Flammable gas 2.3 Toxic gas Class 3 Flammable Liquids (Packing Groups) No Divisions Class 4 Flammable Solids (Packing Groups) 4.1 Flammable solid 4.2 Spontaneously Combustible 4.3 Dangerous when wet Class 5 Oxidizers/Organic Peroxides (Packing Groups) 5.1 Oxidizers 5.2 Organic Peroxides Class 6 Toxic/Infectious Substances 6.1 Toxic Substances (Packing Groups) 6.2 Infectious Substances (Category A & B) Class 7 Radioactive Materials (Categories I, II, III) (No Packing Groups) No Divisions Class 8 Corrosives (Packing Groups) No Divisions Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods (some have Packing Groups) No Divisions


12

Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods - Definitions As previously discussed, this program will limit its focus to the safe transportation of magnetized materials. Since these materials fall into Class 9, we will look at the definition for class 9 materials.

3.9 Class 9 — Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods

3.9.1 Definition

3.9.1.1 Class 9 Substances and Articles

Articles and substances, which during air transport, present a danger not covered by other classes.

3.9.2.2 Magnetized Material

Determining the Packing Group

Most dangerous goods are assigned Packing Groups which identify the degree of hazard a material presents within a particular hazard class, as follows:

Packing group I – Great (high) danger Packing group II – Medium danger Packing group III – Minor (low) danger

For class 9 materials, there is no criteria for assigning Packing Groups and not all class 9 materials have Packing Groups. Any assigned Packing Group will be identified in the List of Dangerous Goods.


13

Lesson Three

Shipping Magnetized Material

using the IATA Regulations

The Safe Transportation of Magnetized Materials 2014 Shipping Magnetized Materials using IATA ™

15

The Process In most cases when shipping dangerous goods it can be made into a step- by- step process:

Select a Proper Shipping Name from the List of Dangerous Goods Identify and apply any/all Special Provisions for the material. Verify quantity limits and comply with all of the details of the relevant

Packing Instruction. Mark and Label the package Complete the Shipping Papers


16

Identification (IATA DGR) When offering dangerous goods for transportation the shipper must select a proper shipping name for the material. In the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), Proper Shipping Names (PSN’s) are located in Section 4.2, the List of Dangerous Goods. PSN’s are listed in column B and are shown in Bold type.

Proper shipping names range from very specific names that clearly identify the material being shipped to generic names that identify only the hazard of the material. There are also proper shipping names that identify the use of the product or the chemical family that the material falls into. The shipper must always choose the PSN that best describes the material being offered for transportation. When shipping magnetized materials, the entry that must be used is the entry for Magnetized materials.

Excerpt from IATA DGR – 4.2


17

List of Dangerous Goods See Sub-section 4.1.6 for a detailed explanation. A brief summary is provided below.

Column A – contains the four digit identification number of the material. This number must be preceded by the letters "UN" except that any number beginning with an "8" must be preceded by "ID" instead.

Column B – Contains the Proper Shipping Name of each material, in bold print. Text not in bold print is not part of the proper shipping name. The shipping name may be used in the singular or plural, but otherwise should not deviate from the bold text in Column B. Column B may contain symbols meaning:

- the technical names of the ingredient(s) contributing to the hazard must be added, in parenthesis, after the proper shipping name on package markings and documentation

† - there is a definition or additional information for that shipping name in the Glossary (Appendix A) of the IATA DGR.

Column C - indicates the primary hazard class of the material, followed in parenthesis by any subsidiary hazards.

Column D – specifies the hazard and/or handling labels that must be affixed to each package.

Column E – indicates the Packing Group, if assigned.

Column F – Excepted Quantity (EQ) code. (E0 indicated that magnetized materials are not permitted as Excepted quantities.)

Columns G, I and K – specify the Packing Instruction which gives the details of the packaging authorized and any other packaging restrictions.

Columns H, J and L – specify the maximum net quantity allowed in one package, in kilograms or liters. If a "G" appears in Columns H, J or L, then the quantity limit is the gross weight of the package. If “No limit” appears, there is no restriction on the weight of the package.

Columns G and H –will be used to ship the material as a Limited Quantity. This means that there will be a packaging exception for the material, but all of the other requirements of the regulations must be met. Since “forbidden” appears in these columns, magnetized materials may not be shipped as a limited quantity.

Columns I and J - will be used to allow the material to be carried by passenger aircraft. If these columns are used the material may also be placed on a cargo aircraft. Basically, your package can be placed on the first available flight.

Columns K and L - will restrict the package to being carried by cargo aircraft only. While this typically allows a larger quantity per package than passenger aircraft, it also limits the number of flights that the package can be shipped on.

For Magnetized materials the information in Columns I and J and K and L is identical, which means that there is no reason to restrict the shipment to Cargo Aircraft Only.

If "Forbidden" appears in Columns I and J or K and L, the material may not be shipped by that type of aircraft.

Column M - may contain a "Special Provision" which will be found in Section 4.4. There are no Special Provisions for Magnetized materials.

Column N - contains the Emergency Response Drill Code from an ICAO publication for emergency response. This code is typically used by the carrier, not by the shipper.

Case Study

(Houston to London on FEDEX)

Material: Speakers

Quantity: 2 large speakers

Packaging: The speakers are packed in a fibreboard box.

Step One: Select a Proper Shipping Name from the List of Dangerous Goods

The † symbols indicates that there is a brief description in Appendix A of the IATA Regulations. Appendix A: Magnetized materials: Cover materials with relatively high magnetic field strength such as magnetrons and non-shielded permanent magnets without keeper bars installed. Masses of ferro-magnetic metals such as automobiles, automobile parts, metal fencing, piping and metal construction material, even if not meeting the definition of magnetized materials, may be subject to operator's special stowage regulations since they may affect aircraft instruments, particularly the compasses.

Step Two: Identify and apply any/all Special Provisions for the material.

Special provisions are found in column M of the List of Dangerous Goods. There are no Special Provisions for Magnetized materials.

Step Three: Verify quantity limit and comply with all of the details of the relevant Packing Instruction.

Whether offering magnetized materials on passenger aircraft or cargo aircraft only, there is no limit to net weight of the package. (See columns J and L.) Packing Instruction 953 must be followed.


19


20

The packing Instruction contains specific requirements for certain materials such as magnetrons, light meters and permanent magnets. For the speakers we intend to ship, one of the listed methods must be used to measure the magnetic field strength. The following table summarizes the regulatory status of the shipment, based on measurements taken at the specified distance from any surface of the assembled consignment.

Compass Deflection

Distance Status

< 2 degrees

2.1 m Not Restricted

> 2 degrees but ≤ 2 degrees

2.1 m 4.6 m

Magnetized Material

> 2 degrees 4.6 m Requires Competent Authority Approval The magnetic field strength at the compass producing a 2 degree deflection is taken to be 0.418 A/m (0.00525 gauss). If the shipment is not restricted, no further action is necessary. If the shipment is a magnetized material, the remaining steps must be completed to properly prepare the shipment. Variations Packing Instruction 953 begins by listing Operator Variations that are relevant to the magnetized materials. Operator variations are additional requirements imposed by different Operators (Airlines.) There are also State variations which apply to, from or through the State (country) who has filed the variation. Essentially, variations are limitations, and as such, are located in 2.8 of the IATA DGR. States that have filed Variations are listed in Section 2.8.1. All state variations will end in the letter “G” (Government). Section 2.8.2 contains all of the State Variations, arranged alphabetically by the code assigned in Section 2.8.1. Operators that have filed Variations are listed in Section 2.8.3. They are identified by a two letter code. Section 2.8.4 contains all of the Operator Variations, arranged alphabetically by the code assigned in Section 2.8.3. Although IATA tried to cross-reference variations wherever they apply, it is a good idea for the shipper to check section 2.8 for any variations filed by the countries of origin, transit and destination of their shipment, and any variations filed by the carrier. Since this shipment is originating in the US, all relevant US Variations must be complied with. Although there are 18 US Variations, very few of them apply to magnetized materials. Excerpts of the applicable US Variations are provided below.


21

USG-01 Transport of dangerous goods by air must be in accordance with United States Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171-180) or the ICAO Technical Instructions as limited by 49 CFR Part 171 Subpart C. The requirements of 49 CFR 175 apply to all shipments offered for air transport to, from, or within the United States, including when the shipment is prepared in accordance with these Regulations. Part 175 contains additional requirements applicable to any person who performs, attempts to perform, or is required to perform a function subject to 49 CFR and is also applicable to air passengers and crew. When the ICAO Technical Instructions are used for consignments of dangerous goods, failure to comply with the ICAO Technical Instructions and all relevant US variations is a violation of the United States Regulations. Editorial Note: The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are fully in compliance with ICAO Annex 18 and its associated Technical Instructions. The appropriate national authority for the United States is:

Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Washington DC USA 20590-0001

English must be used for all required package markings and for the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods. Abbreviations may not be used unless they are specifically authorized by these Regulations or by Subpart D of 49 CFR 172 (see 7.1 and 8.1). A copy of the transport document, or an electronic image thereof, must be retained by the shipper for not less than two years after the dangerous goods are accepted by the initial operator. Each shipping paper copy must include the date of acceptance by the initial operator, except that the date on the air waybill or bill of lading may be used in place of the date of acceptance by the initial carrier. For hazardous waste, the transport document must be retained for three years after the waste material is accepted by the initial operator. Note: The United States' Regulations, as well as interpretations regarding their use, are available via the internet at http://hazmat.dot.gov/regs/rules.htm. Questions regarding the regulations may be directed to the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety Information Center at +1 (800) 467 4922, +1 (202) 366 4488, or by e-mail to [email protected] USG-02 In addition to the dangerous goods included in Subsection 4.2 (List of Dangerous Goods) with the word “Forbidden” shown in columns I and J and K and L and with no A1 or A2 Special Provision indicated, any material forbidden for transport by the United States' Regulations is also forbidden for transport under any circumstances to, from or within the United States (see 49 CFR 173.21 and the Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR 172.101). It should be noted that 49 CFR 173.21(d) specifically prohibits, for carriage by aircraft, any package which has a magnetic field of more than 0.00525 gauss measured at 4.5 m (15 feet) from any surface of the package.


22

USG-12 On shipments to, from, within or transiting through the US, emergency response information as described below must be provided for all dangerous goods other than magnetized material (UN 2807), dangerous goods for which no Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is required and Other Regulated Material as defined in 49 CFR 173.144. Great Britain (GBG) does not have any variations applicable to Magnetized Materials. The applicable Federal Express (FX) Variations are presented below. FX-11 Dangerous goods packages that cannot accommodate all of the required Federal Express and regulatory documentation as well as all required regulatory markings and labelling on the top or sides of the outer package, will not be accepted for carriage. Any required documentation, marking and labelling will not be permitted on the bottom of the package. FedEx branded packaging including brown boxes may not be used to ship dangerous goods or dry ice. Exception: UN 3373, Biological Substance Category B may be shipped in the FedEx UN3373 Pak. FX-12 This variation applies only when FX-18 does not. Hand written Shipper's Declarations will not be accepted. The following fields on the Shipper's Declaration must be typed or computer generated: UN or ID number including the prefix, Proper shipping name, Hazard class or division, Subsidiary risk or division(s), Packing Group, Packaging Type, Packing Instruction, Authorization, Emergency telephone number. Handwritten alterations/amendments to an entry required to be typed per FX-12 are acceptable if each alteration/amendment is legible and signed with the same signature used to sign the Shipper's Declaration. FX-14 When a Shipper's Declaration is required, three (3) copies must be provided with each shipment at the origin location. At least two of the copies must have the diagonal hatchings printed vertically in the left and right margins and must be printed in red. FX-18 Will not apply. Shippers Declarations are not required for Magnetized Material.


23

Step Four: Mark and Label the package.

Marking and labeling

Marking is not required per Packing Instruction 953, only the Magnetized Material Label is required.

A properly labeled package of magnetized material is shown below. Note that although magnetized materials are Class 9 materials, Column D of the List of Dangerous Goods only requires the Magnetized Material label on the package.

.

Step Five: Complete the Shipping Papers.

Documentation

A Shippers Declaration is not required. Alternate documentation written or electronic may be used. The document must have “Magnetized material” and the number of packages, unless the magnetized materials are the only packages in the consignment.

The Air Waybill is the document used to move shipments. Packing instruction 953 requires a written or electronic document for the mandated information, we may add the information to the air waybill in the nature and quantity of goods box.

The area of concern for Dangerous Goods on the air waybill is the Nature and Quantity of Goods box.

The “Nature and Quantity of Goods” box need only state “Magnetized Material” and the number of packages, unless the magnetized materials are the only packages in the consignment.

Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness Training is not included in DGI public training sessions, however you still need it!

Why do I need Security Awareness Training?

Effective March 25, 2003, shippers and carriers of certain highly hazardous materials must develop and implement security plans. In addition, all shippers and carriers of hazardous materials must ensure that their employee training includes a security component.

172.704(a)(4) Security awareness training. No later than the date of the first scheduled recur-rent training after March 25, 2003, and in no case later than March 24, 2006, each hazmat employee must receive training that provides an awareness of security risks associated with hazardous materials transportation and methods designed to enhance transportation securi-ty. New hazmat employees must receive security awareness training within 90 days after em-ployment.

Why are hazardous materials considered a threat?

The definition in 49 CFR states that a Hazardous Material means a substance or material that the Secretary of Transportation has determined is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce. Some items like tankers full of gasoline are obvious, while smaller amounts of certain chemicals could be just as deadly in the wrong hands.

How can we make the transportation of hazardous materials more secure?

This awareness program is one way. A joint effort between government, employer and you, the employee, can make a huge difference. Security threats donâ€™t always come from outside sources, it could be Joe in accounting, or Sue from personnel. Threats against your company must be taken seriously. Tunnels, bridges, dams, storage facilities and waterways are all targets. Truck-ers must be aware that they should always check their surroundings and never leave the truck open to the general public. These are just a few ideas. You'll probably have a lot more after com-pleting the Security Awareness program.

Private Onsite Seminars

All DGI’s public seminars are available as onsite programs conducted at your facility. Our onsite programs give you the ability to customize and combine any of our public classes to fit your training needs. The end result is a seminar that is strictly tailored to your products, job functions, shipping patterns and internal requirements.

Benefits of Onsite Training: * Saves money on tuition and travel expenses by having the instructor come to you. * Saves time in the classroom, as programs are focused on your products. * Customized programs designed to meet your product and training needs. * Flexibility of location, hours and dates (including weekends) * Ensures students learn at the same level and more staff can attend. * Direct interaction with your instructor prior to the seminar. * Classes available in Spanish for all modes of transport.

Training Description and Duration: Let DGI design a training program to meet your needs based on the following:

Mode of Transportation: IATA/ICAO (Air), 49CFR (Highway/Rail), IMDG/IMO (Ocean) or TDG – Canadian Transport.

Job Functions: (not limited to) Warehouse/Receiving, Production, Laboratory/Testing, Packaging, Management/Supervisor, Clerical/Documentation, etc.

Your Hazmat Products: (not limited to) Infectious/Diagnostics, Radioactive Materials, Hazardous Waste, Explosives, Hazwopper, Driver Training, Train-the-Trainer, etc.

Other considerations: employees previous training, number of students to be trained, your company policies, staff scheduling, etc.

Number of training days is based on above information, and ranges from 1 to 3 days per mode of transportation. However, if you ship by multiple modes of transport or have one specific product, the number of training days may be reduced.

Cost: Generally, onsite training is cost effective when you have 7 or more employees who require similar training. Cost is based on a daily rate plus expenses.

Daily Instructional Rate: Scale from $1350 to $1550 up to 12 students. Additional students: $40 to $ 80 per person Instructor per diem: $45 per training day

Additional expenses are instructor airfare, ground transportation, reasonable hotel accommodations and shipping charges to return classroom materials.

All training programs include instructor, program, course workbooks, certification and the use of actual regulations when applicable. DGI programs are fully guaranteed to satisfy job specific transportation training requirements of the U.S. DOT, ICAO/IATA, IMDG/IMO and TDG-Canadian Transport.

Do you only ship Infectious/Diagnostic Substances, Explosives, Consumer Commodities or Waste? Just need training in TDG regulations or General Awareness?

Finding it hard to justify the cost of an onsite seminar?

DGI may conduct a “Custom” class in a convenient location, if there are other customers with similar training needs. For details call Lynda Darling at 650-306-8451.


Dangerous Goods Compliance Review (Audit)

DGI has the expertise to provide on-site compliance reviews for single, or multiple facilities. Compliance reviews for 29CFR, 40CFR and 49CFR are available.

Do I need a Compliance Review?

1. Are your policies and procedures regarding Dangerous Goods/Hazardous Materials shipping, receiving and storage up to date and accurate?

2. Are your employees properly trained according to 49CFR in the shipping and handling of Hazardous Materials/Dangerous Goods and is your record keeping current?

3. Do you have a safety program in place?

4. Do you have a current security plan?

5. Did you know that if your workplace uses any chemicals for cleaning (bleaches, thinners etc.) you must have a Hazardous Communications Standard in place and on site?

Typical compliance audits require a one day onsite by our auditor, include a compre-hensive written report of findings and recommendations, and costs between $1350 and $1750 depending on scope, content and location. These cost estimates do not include transportation and accommodation.

For more information please contact Frank Nerli at 805.473.0978 or [email protected].


Understanding Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification for Hazardous Materials

The implementation of the revised Hazard Communication Standard is moving along and the first compliance date is December 1, 2013. By that time employers must have trained their workers on the new label elements and the SDS format. OSHA has recently updated the Hazard communication webpage and has added guidance specifically to address the upcoming training: http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html

ABOUT: GHS (Globally harmonized System of Classification) was adopted by the United Nation (UN) as a guideline to create a standard of classification on Chemical Hazards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has adopted certain aspects of GHS into the newly modified Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). Unlike GHS, the HCS are required standards that must be met in order to com-ply with the law .Requirements for compliance can be found in the 4th edition of the “Purple Book”. From here we will refer the new standards as HCS.

BENEFITS: With the modification of HCS, OSHA believes the results will increase safety, health and promote efficiency in the workplace. Modifications will promote a reduction of accidents, fatalities, and injuries as a direct result from improper handling and exposures to hazard-ous chemicals. Through the use of the modified SDS’s, labels and employee training, employees will be able efficiently obtain information on a given product including chemical composition and hazardous associated. Expansion to include international trade can also be considered an additional benefit.

HOW WILL IT AFFECT ME? Under the new implementations of GHS manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and employers will all be affect-ed. Rewriting and reformatting of MSDS to SDS will be required which includes a new 16 section format. New standards of labeling will also be enforced; labels must now include specific pictograms, signal words and hazard statements. The revised HCS also now provides specific criteria for health and physical hazards that will be applied both in SDS’s and labels. The newly adopted hazard classifications will allow for a more consistent and accurate evaluation of chemicals, mixtures and their effects. Employee training will also be implemented; employers are now required to train all employees on the new formats of SDS’s and labels. All new implementation of laws have mandated compliance dates with a final completion date of June 1, 2016.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING: To ensure compliance with HCS, employers are now required to train employees on the newly revised HCS. No set standard is required for training; however employers must insure that all employees are familiar with all new changes to labels and SDS. Em-ployees should understand how to use them and how to effectively access information. OSHA requires compliance of employee training to be completed by Dec. 1, 2013.

SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS): Formerly called MSDS, the term SDS (Safety Data Sheets) was adopted in the new HCS. SDS’s are used to provide necessary information to employers and workers on chemicals hazards and safety precautions. The SDS also provides detailed information on the product including product identification, product composition, clean up procedures, etc. Prior to the new guidelines, MSDS were recommended to comply with a 12 section format; under the new GHS, a 16 section format is required.

GHS LABELS: Under new GHG guidelines all labels are to include additional information including:

Symbols (Pictograms): These symbols will relay all health, physical and environmental hazards.

Signal Words: Theses words such as "Warning" and "Danger" will emphasize chemical hazards and severity.

Hazard Statement: These will be standard phrases given to each hazard class that will describe the nature of the hazards.

The above information on GHS has been provided by Chemtel, Inc. Chemtel is also providing free of charge on their website a presentation to assist with training your employees under the GHS requirements www.chemtelinc.com
