Prop 65 Regulations – Is Your Facility Compliant? 

The new porting requirements for Proposition 65 warnings went into effect on August 30, 2018. This presentation will include a discussion of the regulatory changes for consumer, occupational and environmental postings that now require clear and reasonable warnings that list at least one chemical for each endpoint.

Safe harbor warning language for specific exposures (designated smoking areas, enclosed parking garages, petroleum products, vehicle and diesel engines) will be presented. Specifications towards warning sign requirements, such as size and font, will be reviewed as well. Exceptions and exemptions to be discussed.

Specific examples of warning language will be presented along with an evaluation process for the applicability of various chemicals and individual exposures. Finally, the Proposition 65 chemicals list along with the OEHHA list of “safe harbor” levels (No Significant Risk Levels – NSRLs and Maximum Allowable Dose Levels – MADLs), will be reviewed.
