Why was Bill C45 Necessary?

C --> Canadian piece of legislation 45--> 45th law that was passed based on westerly mine explosion and subsequent inquiry recommendations to have stricter penalties including criminal negligence causing death and enforcement of them it was the outcome of that recommendation Ottawa, October 31, 2003 -helps ensure organizations are held accountable when they commit criminal offences

GHS Element

Classification Criteria -health and environmental hazards -physical hazards -mixtures Hazard Communication -Labels -SDS

What are the different WHMIS controlled product classes?

Compressed Gases Flammable and Combustible Material Oxidizing Material Poisonous and Infectious Material Corrosive Material Dangerously Reactive Material

Signal Words

Danger or Warning used to emphasize hazard and discriminate between levels of hazards

Penalties

Federal (max) -persons: if injury max 10yr prison -death: life imprisonment -summary conviction: $100,00 fine -indictment: unlimited $ Provincial-Ontario -individual <25L per offence &/ <1yr jail -Corporation: <$500K per offence -Fines subject to 25% victim charge

Precautionary Information

GHS label should include appropriate precautionary info GHS document includes ex. of precautionary statements which can be used intent is to harmonized precautionary statements in the future

What should companies do to avoid penalties?

Gap Analysis: look at what programs are in place for HS, do we have all the programs we need, are they up to date and are they being enforced and effective Work Audits: are they actually being implemented, being shown that everything is being practiced Implement/improve OHS management system, ensure OHS regular compliance: rules and systems Protect action plan by solicitor/client privilege: lawyer creates an audit trial of HS management and how you have been complying, crate a binding document and call it privilege-only person that can look at workplace audits is manager and lawyer-solicitor not allowed to see binder unless passed by lawyer

Federal Legislation

Hazardous Products Act Controlled Products Regulations Ingredient Disclosure List Hazardous Materials Info Review List Hazardous Material Info Review Regulations

IDENTIFY hazardous materials in workplace PROVIDE INFO on hazard materials used in workplace ensure CONSISTENCY of hazardous info in Canadian workplaces

SDS Format: 16 headings -Accidental Release Measures

PPE emergency procedures methods and materials fro containment and cleaning up

Prison vs. Jail

Prison-federal Jail-provincial

MSDS requirements

Revision: every 3 years, within 90 days of new hazard info becoming available Location: available and accessible by workers Language: english and french

Roles of SDS in GHS

SDS should provide comprehensive info about chemical substances/mixtures primary use: workplace employees and workers use SDS for info on hazards and get advice on safety precautions

Responsibilities of -Suppliers/Manufacturers -Employer -Worker

Suppliers/Manufacturers -classify products -supplier labels for all controlled products manufactured processed, packaged, imported/sold by suppliers and apply to containers of controlled products as condition of sale -MSDS -Provide MSDS to costumers Employer -classify products produced in the workplace -provide MSDS -workplace labels -worker education Workers -participate in training -apply knowledge -inform employer when they have inadequate info on a controlled product

Pictogram Shape and Colour

Transport: have background and symbol currently used Other sectors: black symbol, white back, red diamond frame where a transport pictogram appears, GHS pictogram for same hazard shouldn't appear

SDS Format: 16 headings -Transport info

UN number UN proper shipping name environmental hazards special precautions

International Mandate

adopted at UN conference on Environmental and Development (UNICED) in 1992 in Brazil globally harmonized hazard classification and compatible labelling system, SDS, easily understand symbols should be available in 2000 Canada didn't adopt this until 2015

Key elements of WHMIS

also ways to provide info to workers about the hazards of controlled products used on the job 1. MSDS 2. Labels: WHMIS label must be affixed to container before product can be used, provides info on basic hazards, proper handling procedures, first aid 3. Training: developed by employers in consultation with joint health and safety committees designed to teach workers, how to apply info printed on MSDS and labels or consultation

SDS Format: 16 headings -First Aid Measures

by root of exposure -inhalation -skin contact -eye contact -ingestion

SDS Format: 16 headings -Composition/info on ingredients

chemical name common name and synonyms CAS registration number unique identifiers chemical name of impurities stabilizing solvent and additives

SDS Format: 16 headings -Stability and Reactivity

chemical stability possibility of hazardous reactions conditions to avoid incomplete materials hazard decomposition products

What is the GHS

common and coherent approach to defining and classifying hazards and communicating info on labels and SDS target audiences include workers, consumers, transport workers, and emergency responders provides the underlying infrastructure for establishment of national, comprehensive chemical safety programs

Example of exempted products from WHMIS

consumer products-under hazardous products act explosives food and drug act pesticides-pest control products act atomic energy control act wood or wood products manufactured articles tobacco or tobacco products hazardous waste

SDS Format: 16 headings -Exposure control/personal protection

control parameters engineer controls PPE

Scope of GHS

covers all hazardous chemical substances, dilute solutions and mixtures pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, pesticides residues in food not covered at point of international intake but will be covered where workers may be exposed and in transport

Canadian Implementation of GHS-July 2015

currently in force-supplier has began to use and follow requirements for SDS transition period right now, after all rules should be followed

Physical Hazards

definitions, test methods and classification criteria for transport were used as a basis for work since they were already harmonized based on existing TDG requirement ex. explosives, flammability, self-reactive, gases under pressure

worker and education programs

developed in consultation with joint HS reviewed at least once/year or more often if -conditions at workplace change -new info on a controlled product becomes available all workers who work with or in proximity to a controlled product receive training training includes: -generic instructions-labels, MSDS -specific training-trainingi n work place -how WHMIS works -hazards of groups of products which have similar properties -work procedures for groups of products

SDS Format: 16 headings -Ecological Info

ecotoxicity persistence degradability bioaccumulative potential mobility in soil

Benefits of having a harmonization system

enhance protection of humans and environment facilitate international trade in chemicals reduce need for testing and evaluation assist countries and international organisms to ensure sound management of chemicals

Hazardous Materials Info Review Act

establishes a commission to rule on claims and appeals related to trade secret claims

Federal vs. Provincial Legislation

federal: -grandfather -supersedes provincial legislation -has made provinces responsible for H&S in provincial workers -is responsible for setting laws for H&S for federal employees & may set laws for all provinces when there is a general need or they believe there is an overall benefit for Canadians -eg. WHMIS, TDGA, Bill C45 Provincial -report back to federal

Indictment

formal accusation that a person has committed a crime

product identifier

identification of product by generic name, trade...specified by supplier, identifier on data sheet must be identical with identifier on product label

SDS Format: 16 headings -disposal considerations

info on sale handling for disposal and methods of disposal including any contaminated packaging

Why is classification of products necessary?

is the determination of whether a product meets the criteria for any WHMIS classes determines whether a product is controlled determines what goes on WHMIS label, ie. symbol, statement... what info is provided on MSDS what training is required for workers

What does Bill C45 say?

legislation makes organization criminally liable: as a result of the actions of senior officers who oversee day to day operations but who may not be directors/executives when officers with executive/operational authority intentionally commit/direct employees to commit crimes to benefit organizations when officers with executive or operational authority become aware of offences being committed by other employees but don't take action to stop them when the actions of those with authority and other employees, taken as a whole, demonstrate a lack of care that constitutes criminal negligence

Controlled Products

materials that are determined to be hazardous according to WHMIS criteria are called controlled products

Manufacturer and Supplier Identifier

name, address, emergency number

Ingredient Disclosure List

names of chemicals that must be identified on MSDS

confidential business info

national authorities should establish appropriate mechanisms for CBI protection. CBI will not be harmonized under GHS CBI protection shouldn't compromise health and safety of users CBI claims should be limited to number of chemicals and concentration of mixtures

What is WHMIS

national system for disclosing info on the hazardous materials used in Canadian workplaces designed to provide employees and workers with a uniform level of info about hazardous materials in workplace legislation is the result of co-operation among federal and provincial government in Canada with input from both labour and industry came into effect October 31, 1988 there are both federal and provincial regulations that specify requirements for WHMIS

Why is the GHS needed?

no country has ability to identify and specifically regulate every hazardous chemical product adoption of requirement for info to comparing the product helps address protection needs many diff. countries have come to the same concentration about using info dissemination as a regulatory means to address chemical hazards while similar, they are diff enough to require multiple labels and SDS for the same product in international trade countries with systems have diff requirements for hazard definition as well as info to be included on label or MSDS ex. a product may be considered flammable or toxic in one country but not in another to which it is being shipped diff. impact both protection and trade area of trade, need to comply with multiple regulations regarding hazard classification and labelling is costly and time consuming small-->medium enterprises are effectively precluded from international trade in chemicals due to the regulatory burden of compliance

Provincial Legislation

occupational HS legislation requires employers to provide -labels -MSDS -worker education enabled by the Hazardous Products Act

SDS Format: 16 headings -Physical and Chemical properties

odour pH solubility flash point

Key Label Elements

product identifier, supplier identifier, chemical identifier, hazard pictograms, signal words, hazard statement, precautionary info

SDS Format: 16 headings -Identification

product name recommended use restriction on use supplier identifier->name, address, number(s), emergency number restriction on use

Principles of Harmonization

protection wil lonen be reduced; comprehensibility will be key all types of chemicals will be covered; based on intrinsic properties/hazards of chemicals all systems will have to be changed

Supplier Label

provided by a supplier of controlled products disclosing info and displaying the hazards symbol that apply to product hazard symbol hatched border product identifier supplier identifier risk phrases precautionary measures first aid statement reference to MSDS English and French

Hazardous Material Info Review Regulations

providing criteria for determining validity of a trade secret claim

Workplace Label

put on a controlled product in workplace requires less info than a supplier label Product Identifier: Chemical X Safe handling advice: gloves, eye protection, use in well ventilated areas Reference to MSDS

Training under GHS (WHMIS 2015) in Canada

require employers to develop, implement and maintain worker WHMIS education and training program requirements don't change with WHMIS 2015

What is an MSDS?

technical document which provides info on -health effects -hazards-storage, handling and use -measure to protect workers -emergency procedures intended to supplement info provided on WHMIS label

Tiered Approach to Classification

use to test data for mixture, when available --> use bridging principles, if applicable --> for health and environmental hazards, estimate hazards based on known ingredient info

What does Bill C45 mean?

we have taken a major step toward ensuring employees will be held responsible for criminally negligent acts in the workplace
