a Methods and observations that may be used to detect the presence or release of a hazardous <br />chemical in the work area (such as monitoring conducted by the employer, continuous monitoring <br />devices, visual appearance or odor of hazardous chemicals when being released, etc.); <br />is The physical, health, simple asphyxiation, combustible dust and pyrophoric (capability of ignition <br />spontaneously) gas hazards, as well as hazards not otherwise classified, of the chemicals in the work <br />area; <br />a The measures employees can take to protect themselves from these hazards, including specific <br />procedures the employer has implemented to protect employees from exposure to hazardous <br />chemicals, such as appropriate work practices, emergency procedures, and personal protective <br />equipment to be used; and, <br />a The details of the hazard communication program developed by the employer, including an <br />explanation of the labels received on shipped containers and the workplace labeling system used by <br />their employer, the SDS, including the format of the SDS (where each type of information is located) and <br />how employees can obtain and use the appropriate hazard information. <br />The most noticeable difference between the old Hazard Communication Standard and HazCom 2012 is <br />the use of pictograms in substitution of the previous cross -hatched fire / health and reactivity symbol. A <br />standard example of what is now required in pictograms is shown below; <br />Health Hazard <br />Flame <br />Exclamation Mark <br />® <br />V <br />O <br />• Carcinogen <br />• Flammables <br />• Irritant (skin and eye) <br />• Mutagenicity <br />• Pyrophorlcs <br />• Skin Sensitizer <br />• Reproductive <br />• Self -Heating <br />• Acute Toxidty (harmful) <br />Toxicity <br />• Emits Flammable <br />• Narcotic Effects <br />• Respiratory <br />Gas <br />• Respiratory Tract Irritant <br />Sensitizer <br />• Self-Reactives <br />• Hazardous to ozone <br />• Target Organ <br />• Organic Peroxides <br />Layer <br />Toxicity <br />(Non Mandatory) <br />• Aspiration Toxicity <br />Gas Cylinder <br />Corrosion <br />Exploding Bomb <br />O <br />r> <br />• Gases under <br />- Skin Corrosion( <br />• Explosives <br />Pressure <br />bums <br />• Self-Reactives <br />• Eye Damage <br />- Organic Peroxides <br />• Corrosive to Metals <br />Flame over Circle <br />Environment <br />Skuli and Crossbones <br />/� <br />> <br />(Non Mandatory) <br />/\ <br />. . <g> <br />• Oxidizers <br />- Aquatic Toxidty <br />• Acute Toxidty (fatal or <br />toxic) <br />10 <br />
