		<description><![CDATA[OSHA’s revision of the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with GHS is likely only a few weeks away (four to eight weeks by many estimates). And as the date approaches, there is a disquieting position being taken by some smaller workplaces that use chemicals — it’s the idea that they are “so small” they do not have to “worry” about changes to OSHA’s HazCom standard. It’s a false conclusion, providing a false security, which can lead to a dangerous end. This article will start by addressing that “too small to worry” mindset and end with two stories about hazard compliance from the past week that everyone should read.

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, MSDSonline reported on a House Subcommittee meeting where OSHA Director Dr. David Michaels was called in to defend OSHA regulations, which were called job killers by some on the panel. Dr. Michaels responded, “OSHA regulations stop jobs from killing workers.” Today, as part of an all-star keynote panel at the National Safety Council’s Congress and Expo, a panel that included OSHA and NIOSH leadership, Dr. Michaels once again defended OSHA regulations while at the same time conceding that certain regulations were a long way off due in large part to anti-regulatory factions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, OSHA used the National Safety Council's Congress and Expo to announce the years top 10 violations. The 2011 list was unveiled during a live presentation on the Expo floor sponsored by Safety+Health magazine. The list was very similar to 2010, with a couple of violations switching places. Hazard Communication violations remained high on the list, and unchanged at #3. Fall Protection and Scaffolding switched places and Ladders violations dropped from #5 to #8, while Powered Trucks and Electrical - Wiring Methods climbed up.

The next question we have is what will GHS alignment with Hazard Communication Standard mean for HazCom violations?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MSDSonline has learned that on October 25, 2011, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) submitted a final rule to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that would revise the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with GHS. It would be the last major hurdle before a final rule on a revised HCS can be published. Because OMB must review the rule within 90 days, OMB approval of a revised Hazard Communication Standard could be less than 90 days away.]]></description>

During June, July and August, OSHA held meetings in NJ, TX, CA and Washington DC to solicit feedback that could be used to develop an I2P2 rule.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone that’s been hanging around this blog knows that GHS adoption by OSHA, in the form of a revised Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), is on the way. In January of this year, OSHA said the final rule would be published in August 2011. Then in July, OSHA revised its timetable, saying the final rule should come in September 2011...With August coming to an end, MSDSonline has been talking to a number of friends and sources close to the rule making process and now believes GHS alignment with HCS is about 4-6 months away – with early 2012 the most likely time frame for the new rule.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OSHA held a live Web chat today to discuss its regulatory agenda for the rest of the year and MSDSonline asked the first question:"Are you still planning on publishing a final rule on GHS alignment with the HCS in August, or do you have a new timeframe?" OSHA Replied: "Thank you for your question. Yes we have updated the timeframe to publish a final rule in September 2011."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Countries that adopt GHS usually create new compliance obligations for their organizations or businesses that manufacture, import, store or distribute chemical products. This is true in the United States where OSHA is preparing to publish a final rule aligning the Hazard Communication Standard with GHS. Once adopted, chemical manufacturers, importers and distributors will need to reclassify their hazardous chemicals to conform to GHS definitions. Additionally, they will have to produce new MSDSs and labels to reflect the reclassification and to fit the GHS compliant safety data sheet format.]]></description>

You can participate live by visiting http://www.dol.gov/regulations/chat-osha-201107.htm. Among the major initiatives OSHA is expected to discuss on Monday is the pending GHS adoption. OSHA announced earlier this year that it intended to publish a final rule on revising the current Hazard Communication Standard to align with GHS in August. Based on discussions MSDSonline has had with people close to the ground, there is a strong possibility that GHS adoption will be "delayed" beyond September 2011.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OSHA announced yesterday that it is considering a new standard aimed at controlling worker exposure to infectious diseases. The agency invited interested parties to attend stakeholders meetings on July 29 in Washington D.C. According to the official stakeholder meeting notice, the stakeholder meetings are intended to help OSHA determine what actions it should take to limit the spread of infectious diseases. Specifically, OSHA is looking to protect healthcare workers who have contact with patients – providing direct care or support services as well as those workers that handle infectious items (laundry, medical wastes, etc.) and perform autopsies or mortuary services.]]></description>
