Read the first 6 Hazard Communication (HazCom) and Chemical Safety flashcards as text

  1. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS 2012, 29 CFR 1910.1200), Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must contain how many sections?

    Answer: 16 sections

    The GHS-aligned SDS format requires 16 standardized sections in a specific order.

  2. The GHS pictogram depicting a skull and crossbones indicates:

    Answer: Acute toxicity (fatal or toxic if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin)

    The skull and crossbones GHS pictogram indicates acute toxic substances that can cause death or serious injury with a single or short-term exposure.

  3. Which section of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contains information about required personal protective equipment?

    Answer: Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

    Section 8 specifically covers exposure limits, engineering controls, and PPE requirements for each hazardous chemical.

  4. What must be on a secondary container when transferring a hazardous chemical from its original container?

    Answer: Product identifier and hazard information (pictograms, signal word, and hazard statements)

    Secondary containers must be labeled with the product identifier and hazard information — full SDS detail is not required on the label.

  5. A worker's right to know about hazardous chemicals in the workplace is protected under which law/standard?

    Answer: OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (Right to Know/HCS)

    OSHA's HCS (29 CFR 1910.1200), often called the 'Right to Know' law, ensures workers receive information about chemical hazards.

  6. When using chemicals with known skin absorption hazards on a construction site, the primary PPE control is:

    Answer: Chemical-resistant gloves appropriate for the specific chemical

    Skin absorption hazards require appropriate chemical-resistant gloves — the specific glove material must match the chemical's SDS recommendations.
