GHS Label Signal Words: The Distinction between DANGER and WARNING
THE OSHA TRAINING BLOG HAS MOVED TO OUR NEW WEBSITE. VISIT US AT https://oshatraining.com/osha-training-blogs/
Curtis, excellent blog this month. I was very much involved in supporting this GHS movement through ASSE having written the initial responses for ASSE's national Government Affairs Committee. I gave testimony and attended meetings for ASSE in DC a few times and I'm glad to see it finally happen. Don Garman - retired CSP.
what delineates or defines hazardous class 1,2,3 for flammable liquids, from extremely flammable, to highly flammable to flammable with signal words 'danger' and 'warning',? your blog was very informative.
Appendix B of the OSHA Haz-Com standard provides the criteria for determining the classification of flammable liquids (and all other physical hazards. The classification is based on flash-point. Here is a link to that appendix: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=10101
As far as for the signal word, that determination for flammable liquids is based on the criteria found in Appendix C (for label elements), you can see that at https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=10102

ReplyDeleteThank you for the training video on the Global Chemical program. Excellent work! RW
Training your employees on the new GHS labels isn’t as hard as it seems, considering some elements overlap with the Hazard Communication Standard.

<Hope this helps.
A shame a lot of companies block YouTube. Why can't you make the tutorials available on your own server?
