Hazard Communication

Frank R. Spellman, Kathern Welsh
The three major areas of change in the modified HazCom are as follows:Hazard classification—The definitions of hazards have been changed to provide specific criteria for the classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classifications of mixtures. The purpose of these specific criteria is to ensure that evaluations of hazardous effects are consistent across manufacturers and that labels and safety data sheets are more accurate.Labels—Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must be provided.Safety data sheets (SDSs) —The SDSs must have a 16-section format.
Product realization

Besides being a means of identification, the label has also the function of managing and identifying the status of materials, components, or devices. This issue will be dealt with in depth in Section 7.5.8—Identification. However, it is important to indicate that labels and labeling activities may be used to physically quarantine medical devices according to their realization processes or conformity level and segregate them from other products, parts, or components. This segregation is usually required in order to eliminate contamination between products with different status. Such labeling indicates the product's status regarding the use of the medical device and prevents the shipment of unfinished devices.

In general, the only items of information required on the labels by this Standard are (1) the identity of the material, (2) the hazard warnings, and (3) the name and address of a responsible party from whom additional information can be obtained if needed. However, OSHA has previously required (29 CFR 1910.1001–1047) specific wording on the labels of certain specific materials. A list of those materials is given in Table 7. You should consult the indicated regulation for the actual text of the required wording.
Towards greener trade and global supply chain environmental accounting. An embodied environmental resources blockchain design
Published in International Journal of Production Research, 2023
Another commercial and stakeholder value from this BC EER trade framework design in green supply chains is through green label and certification companies (eco-labels). Eco-labels contribute to sustainability in at least three ways (Batzarova 2020): (1) help mitigate adverse environmental and social impacts in supply chains; (2) enhance knowledge and perception of product characteristics; and (3) reduce information asymmetry along the supply chain by providing environmental information for particular product or a service – these are similar advantages and contributions as blockchain enabled information. In this case, eco-label organisations can utilise the blockchain data to further enhance their offerings. Eco-label organisations can also help in this system as stakeholders who not only use data, but also provide or validate data – as certification agents. Managing processes to fit within eco-label requirements becomes more manageable.
