The same product identifier is found on the label,the SDS,and the chemical inventory.Therefore,the product identifier links these three sources of information.The product identifier used by the supplier may be a common or trade name, or a chemical name. The existing labels on incoming containers of hazardous chemicals are not removed or defaced unless the container is immediately marked with an in-house label. Our labels are legible and prominently displayed,though their sizes and colors can vary. All Managers,all Team Leaders, and Safety Coordinators are responsible for ensuring that all hazardous chemicals in in-plant containers are properly labeled and updated and ensures that newly purchased materials are checked for labels prior to use. All Managers and Shipping/Warehouse Team Leaders are responsible for ensuring the proper labeling of any shipped containers. HMIS labels will be used on secondary containers and any labels on shipped containers will be from the manufacturer meeting the GHS requirements. If an employee transfers chemicals from a labeled container to a portable container that is intended only for their immediate use, no labels are required on the portable container. The following procedures are used to review and update label information when necessary and to ensure that labels that fall off or become unreadable are immediately replaced: Management and Safety Coordinators perform periodic audits.Any labels identified with a deficiency will be replaced. Training Everyone who works with or is potentially"exposed"to hazardous chemicals will receive initial training and any necessary retraining on the Hazard Communication Standard and the safe use of those hazardous chemicals through the following: ■ Online training course SAF-102-03 "ACM Hazard Communication". • Written Hazard Communication Program, polices, procedures. ■ Hands on training covering site-specific chemicals, potential hazards,and how to handle and store hazardous chemicals. "Exposure" means that"an associate is subjected to a hazardous chemical in the course of employment through any route of entry(inhalation, ingestion,skin contact or absorption, etc.)and includes potential (e.g., accidental or possible) exposure."Whenever a new hazard is introduced or an old hazard changes, additional training is provided. 3
