Register now to join Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®) and The Acta Group (Acta®) for “Harmonizing TSCA Consent Orders with OSHA HCS 2012,” a complimentary webinar covering case studies and practical applications of merging the requirements for consent order language on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) consent orders and Significant New Use Rules (SNUR) are issued under Section 5 for specific chemicals. These U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) consent orders and SNURS often include requirements to add hazard communication language to SDSs. Communicating this language to commercial partners can be challenging as implementing these measures must be harmonized with requirements under the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). Simultaneously fulfilling the requirements of both TSCA and OSHA HCS is critical for companies that are preparing HCS elements for products used in the workplace. This webinar explores these challenges and offers suggestions to resolve them.
In this webinar, Karin F. Baron, MSPH, Director of Hazard Communication and International Registration Strategy, B&C, will explore two hypothetical examples and provide guidance on practical approaches to compliance. An industry perspective will be presented by Sara Glazier Frojen, Senior Product Steward, Hexion Inc., who will discuss the realities of managing this process day-to-day.
Topics Covered:
- Background on OSHA HCS 2012 and TSCA consent orders and SNURs
- Discussion using hypothetical examples from TSCA consent orders
- High molecular weight polymer
- Pyrolysis oil
- Practical applications from industry perspective
