  • Chapter 4: HAZARD COMMUNICATION
    Chapter 4: HAZARD COMMUNICATION The text of this chapter represents the agreement reached on a harmonised hazard communication system as part of the work on the GHS, with minor editorial changes. Additional explanatory text has been added in some sections in order to provide guidance for the reader on how to interpret the GHS agreed text. Where this is the case, the text is italicised and placed in a box to differentiate it from the agreed GHS text. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE 1. One of the objective of the work on the GHS has been the development of a harmonised hazard communication system including labelling, safety data sheets and easily understandable symbols, based on the classification criteria developed by the focal points within the IOMC Co-ordinating Group for the Harmonisation of Chemical Classifications Systems, CG/HCCS. This work has been carried out under the auspices of the ILO, by the ILO Working Group on Hazard Communication. The specific Terms of Reference and Membership of the Working Group are provided in Annex 1. In addition the principles contained in the IOMC CG/HCCS Terms of Reference and the document “Description and Further Clarification of the Anticipated Application of the GHS (also referred to as “The Scope Document”) also applied to the work on harmonisation of hazard communication (see Chapter 2). Application of the Harmonised Hazard Communication System 2.The harmonised system for hazard communication includes the appropriate labelling tools to convey information about each of the hazard classes and categories in the GHS. The use of symbols, signal words or hazard statements other than those which have been assigned to each of the GHS hazard classes and categories would be contrary to harmonisation.

    Material Safety Data Sheets and their relevance to Customs work Updated as on 18.09.2015 WCO Programme Global Shield (PGS) – E-book No.05 [Training Material for Departmental Use] E-BOOK On Material Safety Data Sheets Material Safety Data Sheets and their relevance to Customs work Note: 1. In this E-book, attempts have been made to make the officers aware about Material Safety Data Sheets and their utility at the time of handling, examination and storage of various chemicals. This will also help in proper classification of chemicals under Customs Tariff. 2. Though all efforts have been made to make this document error free, it is possible that some errors might have crept into the document. If you notice any errors, the same may be brought to the notice of the NACEN, RTI, Kanpur on the Email address: [email protected]. This may not be a perfect E-book. If you have any suggestion to improve this book, you are requested to forward the same to us. 3. This e-book is one of the several e-books dealing with different aspects of WCO Programme Global Shield (PGS). The Programme Global Shield (PGS) is a long term law enforcement initiative of WCO alongwith its partner organizations, namely, United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC), International Police Organization (INTERPOL) and member countries. This Programme is aimed at combating the illicit diversion and trafficking of high risk precursor chemicals, which are commonly used by criminal elements/terrorist organizations to make Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). 4. It is acknowledged here that in preparing this e-book, the WCO training material as well as material from other sources including that available freely on internet have been used.

  • EHSS Hazardous Chemical Guide
    EHSS Hazardous Chemical Guide Hazardous laboratory chemicals are required to be barcoded and tracked using the chemical inventory software, BioRAFT. The most effective way to determine if a chemical is hazardous or non- hazardous is to review the chemical manufacturer’s safety data sheet (SDS) and the chemical container label. A hazardous chemical will contain one or more GHS hazard pictogram(s) on the chemical container label and in the chemical manufacturer’s SDS. Please note: If a product contains the environmental hazard pictogram only, it is considered a non-hazardous chemical. The GHS hazard pictograms are referenced below (see Table 1) along with some examples. However, this is not an all-inclusive list. For more information on non-hazardous chemicals and inventory exempt chemicals, please reference the EHSS Inventory Exempt Chemical Guide. If assistance is needed, please contact EHSS 315.443.6883 or [email protected]. When referring to the SDS, Section 2 (Hazards Identification) provides the hazard information associated with the chemical (see Figure 1). An example of a hazardous laboratory chemical will have hazards listed, GHS pictograms, as well as signal words such as “Warning” or “Danger”. Figure 1. Excerpt of Section 2 from an SDS. Table 1. GHS Pictograms.
