According to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued new regulations last week, the US chemical safety information will be updated to make it consistent with the relevant international rules. According to the requirements of the Bureau, before December 1, 2013, employers in the United States must complete the training of employees to let them know about the contents of new chemical labels and the format of safety data regulations; from 2015, the United States laboratories and factories And other workplaces must use new hazardous chemical warning labels and standardized written instructions to communicate relevant safety information to workers.
In accordance with the latest OSHA regulations, US chemical manufacturers and importers will apply warning signs (pictograms) developed by the United Nations. These signs make it clear that regardless of the literacy of workers, no matter which language they use, they can learn about the chemical hazard information they pass through. In addition, relevant companies must also use standardized descriptions when providing specific safety data sheets on customer product hazards.
U.S. Director of Labor Hilda Solis stated that OSHA's revision of chemical hazard labels will enable workers to understand hazard information more clearly and transparently, thus making their work safer and allowing companies to remain in global competition. Advantageous position. She added that the explosion of dangerous chemicals is currently the most serious danger faced by American workers.
The United States Steel Workers Union (USW) and the American Chemical Industry Council (ACC) have expressed their support for the adoption of this international normative system by the United States, a globally harmonized chemical classification and labelling system. Michael Wright, director of the U.S. Iron and Steel Federation’s director of health, safety, and environment, said that in the past, U.S. manufacturers were free to use their own safety data sheets, and sometimes the same material safety data sheets provided by different suppliers included the risk rating. The description turned out to be quite different.
Michael Wallis, vice president of the ACC Department of Regulatory and Technical Affairs, said that the new regulations of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration "will help the chemical industry communicate important safety information, minimize trade costs, and promote domestic and foreign chemicals." The labelling is consistent. At the same time, minimizing the differences between countries in this area will also help improve the trade relations of related parties. In addition, it will also be beneficial to the expansion of US chemical exports."
It is understood that the global unified chemical classification and labeling system jointly developed by the relevant government, commercial organizations and labor organizations and the United Nations aims to protect human health and promote trade development. So far, 67 countries have adopted or partially adopted this. One system.
