5. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Program  Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)  Labeling and Marking Systems  Employee Training  Written Plan  Chemical and Material Inventory

6. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Program Material Safety Data Sheets

7. Environmental Health and Safety Material Safety Data Sheets  Company Information  Product Identification  Hazardous Ingredients  Physical Data  Fire and Explosion Data  Health Hazard Data  Handling and Storage  Toxicological Information  Stability and Reactivity Data  First Aid Procedures  Spill & Leak Procedures  Special Protection Information  Special Precautions  Fire Fighting Measures

8. Environmental Health and Safety Material Safety Data Sheets Every employer must have an MSDS for every hazardous substance used as part of an employee’s job.

9. Environmental Health and Safety Material Safety Data Sheets MSDSs must be available to all employees the entire time they are in the workplace.

10. Environmental Health and Safety Material Safety Data Sheets Locations Sample-Place Where Needed Warehouse Warehouse Gas and Diesel fueling lots Gas and Diesel fueling lots Safety Office (Set for Entire Organization) Safety Office (Set for Entire Organization) MSDS for each separate building MSDS for each separate building

11. Environmental Health and Safety Material Safety Data Sheets If an employee requests a personal copy of an MSDS, the employer has 15 days to provide it. If an employee requests a personal copy of an MSDS, the employer has 15 days to provide it.

12. Environmental Health and Safety Review of Sample MSDS (provided as hard copy) (provided as hard copy)

13. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Program Labeling and Marking Systems

14. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Labeling and Marking Systems NFPA Diamonds HMIS Labels

15. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems NFPA Diamonds  Color coded, numerical rating system.  Will be located near main entrances, fire alarm panels, cabinets or on outside entrance doors.  Provide at-a-glance hazard information.

16. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems NFPA Diamonds Blue = Health Blue = Health Red = Flammability Red = Flammability Yellow = Instability Yellow = Instability White = Special hazard information White = Special hazard information

17. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems NFPA Diamonds  4= Deadly Hazard  3= Severe Hazard  2= Moderate Hazard  1= Slight Hazard  0= No Hazard

18. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems HMIS Labels Designed to go on individual containers of products that don’t have manufacturer’s labels. Same color code/numerical rating system as the NFPA diamonds.

19. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems HMIS Labels  Blue = Health  Red = Flammability  Yellow = Instability  White = Personal Protective Equipment or special protection information  Numerical Rating of 0-4

20. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems HMIS Labels  4= Deadly Hazard  3= Severe Hazard  2= Moderate Hazard  1= Slight Hazard  0= No Hazard

21. Environmental Health and Safety Labeling and Marking Systems HMIS Labels Never have any unattended, unlabeled containers in your workplace!

22. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Program Employee Training

23. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Employee Training Required  Within the first 30 days of employment.  Whenever new hazards are introduced.  Annually.

24. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Employee Training Consists of: Consists of:  How to read MSDS.  What chemicals and materials are in the workplace with associated hazards and risk.  How to read NFPA and HMIS labels.  Personal Protective Equipment.  Contents of Written Plan.

25. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Program The Written Plan

26. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications The Written Plan Employees have a right to possess their own copy of employer’s written Hazard Communications Plan.

27. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Plan Must be available from the staff responsible for safety.

28. Environmental Health and Safety Hazard Communications Plan If an employee is exposed to a hazardous substance at work, he/she shall report it to their supervisor and complete an Incident Report.

29. Environmental Health and Safety Chemical Inventory  Chemical inventory must be developed as part of the Safety Program.  Identified chemicals in the agency both in warehouse (storage) and in individual work areas/offices/buildings.  Hazards range from none to major.  Ongoing as additional chemicals are added and removed.

30. Environmental Health and Safety EXAMPLE XYZ Agency Chemicals and Materials by Classification-See Specific MSDS for Details Johnson Wax Liquid Disinfectant Cleaner Eyes-May be moderately irritating. Skin-May be mildly irritating. Inhalation-May be irritating to nose, throat, and respiratory track. Ingestion-May be irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach.
