About this file
This file contains an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard reference document outlining the required format and content for Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) that must accompany hazardous chemical products. The document pertains to the City of Tampa's Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility Mechanical Service contract, as contractors will handle hazardous materials requiring proper SDS documentation and compliance. The attachment details the sixteen mandatory sections that SDSs must include as of June 1, 2015, encompassing product identification, hazard identification, composition information, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release procedures, handling and storage precautions, exposure controls and personal protective equipment requirements, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity information, toxicological data, and transport information. The document establishes that OSHA enforces Sections 1 through 11 and Section 16, while other federal agencies regulate Sections 12 through 15 related to ecological, disposal, transport, and regulatory information.
This reference document serves as a compliance guideline for contractors performing mechanical services at the McKay Bay WTE Facility who will be required to handle hazardous materials and chemical products. The mandatory inclusion and proper maintenance of SDSs in the specified uniform format is critical for contractor compliance with federal safety and health regulations. Contractors must ensure that all hazardous chemicals used during pump removal and installation, grating replacements, conveyor repairs, and piping services are accompanied by current, properly formatted SDSs and that personnel are trained in the hazards and safe handling procedures outlined in these documents. The City of Tampa reserves the right to verify SDS compliance as part of its comprehensive environmental, health, and safety requirements for this contract.

ATTACHMENT A
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Safety Data Sheets
The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires chemical manufacturers, distributors, or importers to provide Safety Data Sh eets
(SDSs) (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs) to communicate the hazards of hazardous chemical products. As of
June 1, 2015, the HCS will require new SDSs to be in a uniform format, and include the section numbers, the headings, and associated information under the headings below:
Section 1, Identification: Includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use.
Section 2, Hazard(s) identification: Includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements.
Section 3, Composition/information on ingredients: Includes information on chemical ingredients; trade secret claims.
Section 4, First-aid measures: Includes important symptoms/effects, acute, delayed; required treatment.
Section 5, Fire-fighting measures: Lists suitable extinguishing techniques, equipment; chemical hazards from fire.
Section 6, Accidental release measures: Lists emergency procedures; protective equipment; proper methods of containment and cleanup.
Section 7, Handling, and storage: Lists precautions for safe handling and storage, including incompatibilities.
Section 8, Exposure controls/personal protection: Lists OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs); ACGIH Threshold Limit Values
(TLVs); and any other exposure limit used or recommended by the chemical manufacturer, importer, or employer preparing the SDS where available as well as appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment (PPE).
Section 9, Physical and chemical properties: Lists the chemical's characteristics.
Section 10, Stability, and reactivity: Lists chemical stability and possibility of hazardous reactions.
Section 11, Toxicological information: Includes routes of exposure; related symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of toxicity.
Section 12, Ecological information*: Ecotoxicity (aquatic and terrestrial, where available); Persistence and degradability;
Bioaccumulative potential; Mobility in soil; other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer).
Section 13, Disposal considerations*: Description of waste residues and information on their safe handling and methods of disposal, including the disposal of any contaminated packaging.
Section 14, Transport information*: UN number and shipping name; Transport hazard class(es); Packing group, if applicable;
Environmental hazards (e.g., Marine pollutant (Yes/No)); Transport in bulk (according to Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 and the IBC Code);
Other Special precautions which a user needs to be aware of, or needs to comply with, in connection with transport or conveyance either within or outside their premises.
Section 15, Regulatory information*: Safety, health, and environmental regulations specific for the product(s) in question.
Section 16, Other information: Includes the date of preparation or last revision.
*Note: Since other Agencies regulate this information, OSHA will not be enforcing Sections 12 through 15(29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(2)).
