About this file
This is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reference document detailing the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requirements for Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), applicable to a waste tire disposal facility contract opportunity in Tampa, Florida. The document outlines the mandatory 16-section uniform format that chemical manufacturers, distributors, and importers must follow as of June 1, 2015, to communicate hazardous chemical product information. These sections encompass identification, hazard identification, composition, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release procedures, handling and storage, exposure controls and personal protective equipment, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, regulatory information, and preparation dates. The document specifies that OSHA enforces Sections 1 through 11 and Section 16, while Sections 12 through 15 fall under other agency regulations and are not enforced by OSHA.
The City of Tampa's Department of Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management issued this contract opportunity for a disposal facility capable of processing waste tires with or without rims from the McKay Bay Transfer Stations. All bidders must demonstrate compliance with local Tampa codes, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) policies and regulations, and applicable OSHA standards, including adherence to the hazardous communication and safety data sheet requirements outlined in this attachment. The SDS document serves as a reference standard to ensure that disposal facility operators properly handle, document, and communicate any hazardous materials or chemical information associated with tire disposal operations and worker safety protocols.

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 residuesand information on their safehandlingand 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)).
