IH Maturity Ladder for EM November 2008 September 2010 (revised)

2 Definition Industrial Hygiene (Fundamentals of IH, 4th edition) “ Industrial hygiene is that science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace that may cause sickness,impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort among workers or among citizens of the community” (AIHA Membership Directory) Safety = prevention of accidents / incidents IH = prevention of occupational illnesses

WHY focus on Industrial Hygiene? Secure Supply Chain J&J Protect Reputation J&J KEY RISK AREA

6 Environmental stresses or factors in the work environment Chemical agents gases & vapors dust = API & IPI Physical agents noise & vibration climate IR & NIR Biological agents bio hazards fungi allergens toxins (Ergonomics) repetition posture workforce

7 Chemical Hazards n Dusts n Mists n Fumes n Vapors n Gases

8 Physical Hazards n Noise n Vibrations n Radiation –Ionizing radiation: alpha-beta-gamma –Non-ionizing radiation: UV-light, visible light, infrared, radio waves, microwaves

9 Biological Hazards n Viruses n Fungi or molds n Bacteria n Plants n Insects n Animals

10 Occupational Diseases & IH n Exposure to chemical, physical or biological of hazards substances can cause occupational diseases n Occupational diseases are acute or chronic (gradual or delayed) reactions and are very diverse n To avoid occupational diseases the exposure should be prohibited, regulated, restricted, limited or controlled by industrial hygiene practices & IH-programs

11 Occupational Health Hazards n Immediate or acute reactions, like shortness of breath or nausea, can be caused by a one-time event, (e.g., a chemical spill) (usually no permanent reactions) n Gradual reactions, like asthma or dermatitis (skin rashes), can get worse and persist when there is exposure over longer periods (reactions tend to last for a longer time) n Delayed reactions or diseases that take a long time to develop, like lung cancer or loss of hearing, can be caused by long-term exposure These reactions can be noticed long after the job is over

12 Examples Occupational Illnesses n Hearing loss: exposure noise n Interstitial lung disease: exposure silicosis (mining industry) n Organic psycho syndrome (OPS): exposure solvent vapours - painters n Syndrome of Raynaud: white fingers - hand/arm vibrations n Allergic skin diseases: hairdresser n Farmers lung: exposure to fungi - compost n Bakers lung: exposure to flour n Occupational cancer n Acute poisoning n …

13 Fundamentals of IH - Pillars Basics IH Identification Evaluation Control Identification of hazards Theoretical assessment of exposure Measurement strategy Monitoring Evaluation results Report Respect hierarchy of controls

14 Vision: Industrial Hygiene EM Partners Considered as not acceptable are: 1. Non compliances with local legislation 2. Overexposures that on the long term can result in serious diseases or death (exposure to carcinogens or other chemical or physical agents) 3. Uncontrolled acute exposures that can result in serious diseases or death

15 Out of scope: 1. Impact on citizens of the community (covered by PSM: Emergency Response Program) 2. IH procedures limited applicable for GPSG sites: - asbestos - biological safety - ionising radiation and non ionising radiation - vibrations - indoor air quality Vision: Industrial Hygiene EM Partners

16 IH Maturity Ladder n Process to integrate an IH program EM n Step by step integration of minimum requirements n Using the right resources at the right time n Working on the right minimum requirements at the right time

17 EHS Maturity Ladder Concept Minimum requirements Basic awareness and protection Legal Compliance Manage Risk to Supply Chain Asses and Control Risk Partner / Nice to have Mature and Integrated Benchmarking, Continuous Improvement Personal & Respiratory Protection: 10 Carcinogen Control Program: 5 Chemical Hazard Assessment & Communication: 16 Chemical Risk Assessment & Exposure Monitoring: 22 Controlling intermediates & API: 5 Basic Hygiene Practices: 7 Noise & Hearing Conservation: 3 Controlling Chemical Exposures: 2 Total minimum IH requirements: 70

18 IH Maturity Ladder EM EM Supplier EM Partner = Self Assessment Update action plan Trained Account Manager Selection phase: pre assessment Share IH ladder & tools Agree on action plan Control completion 1. Account Manager Supports & reviews initial progress 2. EHS EM Review & training (towards completion step 3&4) 1. Account Manager Supports & reviews progress 2. EHS EM / IH Expert WWCP/GPSG Key Hole Assessment (towards completion step 5&6)

19 IH Minimum Requirements EM n Chemical Risk Assessment & Exposure Monitoring: 22 n Chemical Hazard Assessment & Communication: 16 n Personal Protective Equipment & RPE: 10 n Controlling API & IPI: 5 n Carcinogen Control Program: 5 n Basic Hygiene Practices: 7 n Noise & Hearing Conservation Program: 3 n Controlling Chemical Exposures: 2
