8 These amendments were called the michigan Right To Know Law. The amendments also enabled the adoption of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration s ( osha s) Hazard Communication Standard ( 29 cfr ), which was designed to make information available to employees exposed to hazardous chemicals in their workplaces. Sections of the michigan Right To Know Law of particular importance address the following employer responsibilities: Posting the Safety data sheet (SDS) locations. Posting the receipt of a newly received orrevised SDS no later than five (5) working days after its receipt. Identifying the contents of pipes or pipingsystems which contain a hazardous chemical. Additionally, the law discusses the employee s right to request SDSs from their employers. Employees are also afforded protection from any discrimination or discharge resulting from the request of information regarding hazardous chemicals under the law.

9 The Federal Hazard Communication Standard adopted by the law addressed the following major components: Classificationof hazardous chemicals (development of SDSs) Written hazard communication programs Labeling of hazardous chemicals Maintaining SDSs Employee information and training Trade secretsIn 2012, federal osha amended the Hazard Communication Standard ( 29 cfr ) and, effective December 21, 2012, michigan adopted the amended federal standard by reference. The amendments essentially modify the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to closely align with the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). osha has concluded this improved information will enhance the effectiveness of the HCS in ensuring that employees are apprised of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed, and in reducing the incidence of chemical-related occupational illnesses and injuries.

10 The modifications to the standard include: Revised criteria for classification of chemicalhazards. Revised labeling provisions that includerequirements for use of standardized signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements. A specified format for safety data sheets(SDSs). Related revisions to definitions of terms used inthe standard. Requirements for employee training on labelsand safety data sheets (SDSs). osha and MIOSHA are also modifying provisions of other standards, including standards for flammable and combustible liquids, process safety management, and most substance-specific health standards, to ensure consistency with the modified HCS requirements. The consequences of these modifications will be to improve safety and to facilitate global harmonization of standards. The DEPARTMENT of LICENSING and REGULATORY AFFAIRS also maintain additional information pertaining to the development of an effective hazard communication program in your workplace.
