Initially, it was suspected to be released at the same time as Health Canada released their update to the Hazardous Products Regulations (WHMIS). Well, in December 2022, Health Canada published Gazette II, but OSHA\u2019s update was nowhere to be had.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is a sign of movement. The OSHA HCS update finally went to OMB ON 10\/11\/2023. The OMB review period can be up to 90 days, so we can expect a final rule to be published in the Federal Register by about mid-January 2024.<\/p>\n<h4>What can we expect?<\/h4>\n<p>The U.S. Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) will update hazard communication for workplace chemicals to at least the\u00a0seventh revised edition\u00a0of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/bk-ghs23\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cPurple Book\u201d<\/a>, from the third revised edition.<\/p>\n<h4>Some of the classification changes may include:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Flammable Gases \u2013 Category 1 (extremely flammable gases) will be divided into subcategories 1A and 1B. Subcategory 1A would include\u00a0<em>pyrophoric gases<\/em>\u00a0(which were not addressed in the fifth edition of the \u201cPurple Book\u201d and were added to the\u00a0<em>Hazardous Products Regulations<\/em>\u00a0as a non-GHS class) as well as chemically unstable gases. Subcategory 1B would include flammable gases that are not pyrophoric or chemically unstable but have a lower flammability hazard than those of Subcategory 1A.<\/li>\n<li>Aerosols were previously only classified as \u201cFlammable Aerosols,\u201d with categories of very and less flammable. The amendment will add a third category and classification criteria for non-flammable aerosols.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cChemicals Under Pressure\u201d (a distinct class separate from \u201cGases Under Pressure\u201d) will be created. This, interestingly, is from the eighth revised edition of the Purple Book but was considered important enough to be added to the amendments referencing the seventh edition.<\/li>\n<li>Clarifications have been added to assist in classifying and identifying substances that evolve toxic gases on contact with water but are not otherwise toxic in their original dry condition.<\/li>\n<li>For Corrosives\/Irritants to Skin and Serious Eye Damage\/Irritant to Eyes substances classified based on ingredients without testing, the system will now authorize classification into subcategories based on the subcategories of the ingredients.<\/li>\n<li>An additional criterion was established for classification in Specific Target Organ Toxicity \u2013 Single Exposure, Category 3.<\/li>\n<li>Other classes will have minor updates to criteria to match UN standards or clarify areas that have caused interpretation problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if the classification changes do not affect your product, there are changes to the format of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).\u00a0 \u00a0Section 9, Physical Properties, such as dividing \u201cAppearance \u201cinto two fields, \u201cPhysical state\u201d and \u201cColor,\u201d and adding \u201cparticle characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is expected to be a 2-year transition period.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the official announcement and contact ICC early to get your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SDS update<\/a> requests in a queue.<\/p>\n<p>ICC Compliance Center has a team of full-time Regulatory Experts who have years of experience and are certified\/recognized in their field of expertise.
