OSHA MSDS updated to SDS

In 2012, OSHA made big changes to its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)), aligning it with the United Nations' global chemical labeling system. These changes help to protect workers who handle hazardous chemicals by improving the ways in which those hazards are communicated.

One of the changes OSHA made in the revised Hazard Communication Standard, referred to as HazCom 2012, was with the format of the Safety Data Sheets or SDS. Under the old HazCom 1994, an MSDS could have a number of different formats. The most common safety data sheets were the 8 section OSHA MSDS and the 16 section ANSI MSDS. With the adoption of GHS in the HazCom 2012 however, material safety data sheets are to feature a strict ordering of 16 sections and will now be referred to as simply Safety Data Sheets or SDS.

The 16 sections are as follows:

Section 1: Identification
Section 2: Hazard(s) Identification
Section 3: Composition/Information on Ingredients
Section 4: First-Aid Measures
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties
Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
Section 11: Toxicological Information
Section 12: Ecological Information (non-mandatory)
Section 13: Disposal Considerations (non-mandatory)
Section 14: Transport Information (non-mandatory)
Section 15: Regulatory Information (non-mandatory)
Section 16: Other Information

The following are key OSHA standards regarding Safety Data Sheets:

1910.1200(g)(8)
The employer shall maintain in the workplace copies of the required safety data sheets for each hazardous chemical, and shall ensure that they are readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their work area(s). (Electronic access and other alternatives to maintaining paper copies of the safety data sheets are permitted as long as no barriers to immediate employee access in each workplace are created by such options.)

1910.1200(g)(9)
Where employees must travel between workplaces during a workshift, i.e., their work is carried out at more than one geographical location, the material safety data sheets may be kept at the primary workplace facility. In this situation, the employer shall ensure that employees can immediately obtain the required information in an emergency.

1910.1200(g)(10)
Safety data sheets may be kept in any form, including operating procedures, and may be designed to cover groups of hazardous chemicals in a work area where it may be more appropriate to address the hazards of a process rather than individual hazardous chemicals. However, the employer shall ensure that in all cases the required information is provided for each hazardous chemical, and is readily accessible during each work shift to employees when they are in their work area(s).

1910.1200(g)(11)
Safety data sheets shall also be made readily available, upon request, to designated representatives, the Assistant Secretary, and the Director, in accordance with the requirements of § 1910.1020(e).

This MSDS Station Sign is printed with the latest digital printing practices, which reduce set-up times and allows SafetySign.com to ship out faster than competitors. These advanced printing processes also eliminate set-up charges and order minimums. Your text and graphics won't peel, unlike a MSDS Station Sign from companies that laminate graphics over the sign material. At SafetySign.com, we print your text and graphics with UV inks directly to the substrate, without lamination.

Printing Methods

We choose our printing processes for each product carefully so you receive the best quality product at the lowest price with industry-leading turnaround times. Depending on your size, material, quantity, and other factors, your sign will print using one of our carefully-tested methods.

Cross-Hatch Ink Adhesion Test

SafetySign.com’s advanced printing process undergoes a stringent cross-hatching test. This specifically tests the adhesion and resistance to separation of the inks from the sign. In testing, a sample from the printing process is scored and covered in adhesive tape. The tape is removed and the sample assessed for adhesion quality.

We use a three-stage process to test all of our printing processes. We print our signs using only the processes that pass all three stages, giving you the highest quality signage possible.

Fonts

The text is printed in Arial Black font.

The MSDS Station Sign from SafetySign.com uses this font to create a bold message that stands out in order to grab your attention, while also remaining clearly legible at the maximum safe viewing distance of the product.
