[Histonet] RE: New GHS labels

[Blazek, Linda]

Here is what I have in my notes for the new standards.  I think you're probably safe with what you currently have as long as you've don't  the training that should have been done by Dec 1st 2013.

The first compliance date of the revised HCS is December 1, 2013. By that time employers must have trained their workers on the new label elements and the SDS format.

All hazardous chemicals shipped after June 1, 2015, must be labeled with specified elements including pictograms, signal words and hazard and precautionary statements. However, manufacturers, importers, and distributors may start using the new labeling system in the revised HCS before the June 1, 2015 effective date if they so choose. Until the June 1, 2015 effective date, manufacturers, importers and distributors may maintain compliance with the requirements of HazCom 1994 or the revised standard. Distributors may continue to ship containers labeled by manufacturers or importers (but not by the distributor themselves) in compliance with the HazCom 1994 until December 1, 2015.

Subject: [Histonet] New GHS labels 

I'm getting ready for my CAP inspection and I came along information about the new Global warning labels that were to replace the NFPA labels we currently use for our chemicals. Is everyone using these or can we still use the NFPA label and placards? I remember hearing about it at a seminar just shortly after out inspection in 2012 and never thought of it again. Thanks, Cheri
