ZD072: Hazard Communication Standard Notice:
Effective June 1, 2015, Federal Standard No. 313-E, Material Safety Data, Transportation Data and Disposal Data for Hazardous Materials Furnished to Government Activities, establishes the requirement for preparation and submission of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in lieu of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) by suppliers who provide hazardous materials to government activities.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has modified its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform to the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. As a result of this change, GSA revised Federal Standard No. 313-E requiring Safety Data Sheets for classifying chemicals and communicating the applicable information on labels.
In accordance with the revised standard after June 1, 2015:
1. Suppliers will be required to submit, to the contracting officer for review and approval prior to award, safety data sheets consistent with the requirements found at 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 for hazardous materials delivered to the Government.
2. Suppliers will also be required to submit, to the contracting officer for review and approval prior to award, Hazardous Communication Standard (HCS) labels in accordance with 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 requirements or current Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA) labels when subject to labeling requirements under those statutes. This product labeling is required for hazardous materials delivered to the Government.
3. Finally, suppliers must train their employees on the new safety data sheets, hazardous communication labels, and requirements of 29 C.F.R.1910.1200.
