Chapter 2: Chemical Hazard Communication Regulatory Requirements UCLA has an established Hazard Communication Program that complies with 8 CCR 5194 (http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5194.html), the Cal/OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. The purpose of UCLA‟s Hazard Communication Program is to ensure that all employees and, upon request, their personal physicians, have the right to receive information regarding the hazardous substances to which they may have been exposed at work. UCLA is responsible for providing information about the hazardous substances in our workplace, the associated hazards, and the control of these hazards, through a comprehensive hazard communication program that is summarized briefly below. The requirements of the Hazard Communication Program apply to laboratory environments at UCLA due to the potential for large scale experiments and for activities that may occur outside of areas where engineering controls are available. Proper hazard communication involves the active participation of the PI/Laboratory Supervisor, the EH&S Chemical Safety Officer, and the Laboratory/Facility Safety Coordinator, who are each responsible for providing consultation and safety information to employees working with hazardous chemicals. List of Hazardous Substances All labs are required to keep an updated copy of their chemical inventory on file, which must be made available to EH&S upon request. For each hazardous substance on their inventory, specific information on any associated health or safety hazards must be made readily available to all laboratory personnel. Compressed gases need to be included in the inventory list. Hazard Determination PIs/Laboratory Supervisors are responsible for verifying if any items on their chemical inventory are subject to the requirements of the hazard communication regulation. The term “hazardous substance” refers to any chemical for which there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed individuals. Hazardous substances include, but are not limited to, those chemicals listed in the following: 1. “The Hazardous Substance List”, commonly known as the Directors List of Hazardous Substances, 8 CCR 339 (http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/339.html); 2. “Toxic and Hazardous Substances, Air Contaminants”, 8 CCR, Section 5155 (http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5155.html); 3. “Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances in the Work Environment”, ACGIH, 2004; 4. “Sixth Annual Report on Carcinogens”, NTP, 1991; 5. “Monographs”, IARC, WHO (http://www.iarc.fr/en/publications/list/monographs); 6. SDSs for reproductive toxins and cancer causing substances (http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1002824); and 7. “Chemicals Known to the State to Cause Cancer or Reproductive Toxicity” (Proposition 65), 22 CCR 12000. Chemical Hygiene Plan 2-1 January 2013
Inventory items found on the above lists are subject to the requirements outlined below. SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS) An SDS must be available for each hazardous substance in a laboratory‟s chemical inventory. SDSs are available from the UC online SDS library, available on the EH&S website: http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1002824. PIs/Laboratory Supervisors are responsible for keeping SDSs current and making them available to all laboratory employees throughout the work day. SDSs must be in a central location that can be accessed immediately in the event of an emergency. Electronic copies may be kept in a file on a group drive, or hard copies maintained in a central location in the laboratory. New chemical substances synthesized or produced in a laboratory, and used or shared outside of a laboratory suite, require the preparation of an SDS for each synthesized substance. The UC-system wide SDS library has the capability of developing new SDSs based on the known chemical and physical properties of that substance. Contact the EH&S Hotline at 310-825-9797 for more information on preparing new SDSs. A sample SDS and information on its contents is available in Appendix B. LABELS AND OTHER FORMS OF WARNING Labeling requirements for all hazardous substances are summarized as follows: All containers of hazardous materials must be labeled with the identity of the hazardous substance The label must contain all applicable hazard warning statements The name and address of the chemical manufacturer or other responsible party must be present Manufacturer‟s product labels must remain on all containers, and must not be defaced in any way. Appropriate hazard warning statements and Proposition 65 warnings must be present, if not that information must be added Labels must be legible, in English, and prominently displayed Symbols and/or other languages are required for non-English speaking employees Secondary containers (such as spray bottles) must be labeled with the identity of the substance and appropriate hazard warnings New synthesized compounds must be labeled with the appropriate hazard warnings based on the knowledge of the chemical and physical properties of that substance. Additional information on container labeling is provided in Appendix C. Chemical Hygiene Plan 2-2 January 2013
