Hazard Communication and GHS practice questions for the ASP exam

During an audit, a safety professional compares three documents for one solvent. The written hazard communication program's chemical list names it "Brightwork Degreaser 12," and the SDS is titled "Brightwork Degreaser 12." The supplier's container label identifies the product only as "BD-12 Industrial Cleaner." No document shows both names, and nothing else links them. Which conclusion is correct under the definition of product identifier?

1. A.The documents are acceptable, because the product identifier only has to appear on the SDS and the chemical list.
2. B.The documents are acceptable, because a label may use any name as long as it carries the correct signal word.
3. C.The documents are deficient, because the identifier must allow cross-references among the chemical list, the label and the SDS, and the label's name cannot be matched to the other two.
4. D.The documents are deficient, because the label must show the specific chemical identity (such as the CAS number) in place of a product identifier.

A chemical manufacturer has supplied a solvent to the same customer for several years, and that customer received an SDS with its initial shipment. Last week the manufacturer revised the SDS to add newly learned protective measures. The customer has not asked for anything and now places a routine reorder. What must the manufacturer do?

1. A.Make sure the customer gets the revised SDS with this reorder, since it is the first shipment after the update, either enclosed or sent no later than the shipment
2. B.Send nothing unless the customer requests the revised SDS, because the customer already received an SDS with its initial shipment
3. C.Hold the revised SDS until the customer's next annual purchasing review and then send it
4. D.Send the revised SDS only to customers who are new, because only initial shipments require an SDS
