Will now have a specified 16 section.

Ghs secondary label requirements. The container stays. Precautionary statements must also be provided. How to stay compliant with oshas new ghs rules.

A square red frame set at a point without a hazard symbol is not a pictogram and is not permitted on the label. The ghs inspired standards will require chemical manufacturers and importers to label chemical containers with 1 a harmonized signal word 2 ghs pictograms 3 a hazard statement for each hazard class and category and 4 a precautionary statement. Secondary containers must comply with ghs labeling requirements except when the following criteria are met.

The pictograms osha has adopted improve worker safety and health conform with the ghs and are used worldwide. Five ghs categories have been included in the ghs acute toxicity scheme from which the appropriate elements relevant to transport consumer worker and environment protection can be selected. Ghs compliant labels contain six main elements.

Besides training employees on the new ghs global harmonization system labeling elements new pictograms and the new sds safety data sheet format there are more important challenges to compliance that many employers and safety managers may not even realize. Substances are assigned to one of the five toxicity categories on the basis of ld50 oral dermal or lc50 inhalation. Note that these requirements apply to primary containers which includes the containers received from the manufacturer but not specifically to secondary containers such as smaller jars or spray bottles that hold chemicals transferred from the primary container.

Ghs label requirements also specify that only one of these words can be used. Occupational safety and health administration. Osha requirements for secondary container labels.

Secondary chemical containers are the chemical containers most often found in the workplace. Therefore even if a chemical has two hazards associated with it one requiring warning and one requiring danger both ghs signal words will not appear on the label only danger as it is the more severe of the two. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances but they cannot create additional employer obligations.

The material is used within the work shift of the individual who makes the transfer. While the ghs uses a total of nine pictograms osha will only enforce the use of eight. While chemical shipping containers must have the full ghs label osha provides employers with a lot of flexibility to create their own secondary container labeling systems.

Osha requirements are set by statute standards and regulations. This letter constitutes oshas interpretation of the requirements discussed.
