Name one item that must be on a shipping paper for every material shipped.______________________________ Who gets the shipping paper when the shipment leaves RBP? Where is it kept? ______________________________
PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING DOT/HAZMAT TRAINING INTRODUCTION THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TABLE SHIPPING PAPERS PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING LABELING PLACARDING LOADING AND STORAGE HAZMAT EMERGENCIES
PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING Hazmat packaging must be designed to safely contain the material The more hazardous the material, the more strict the packaging requirement: Packing Group I – Great Danger Packing Group II – Medium Danger Packing Group III – Minor Danger All packagings must be tested prior to use. Performance Oriented Packaging, “POP”
PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) requirements apply to: Bulk – Greater than 119 gallons, Example: Totes Non-bulk – Less than or equal to 119 gallons Examples: Drums, Bottles, Carboys New and reused packaging Specification and non-specification packaging All packaging must be marked
PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING
PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING
PKG & MARKING - QUESTIONS What type of package can be used to ship a hazardous material? Strong sturdy boxes or containers Boxes or container that have been tested for the material being shipped. Only new boxes or containers All of the above Can a material with a severe hazard rating be shipped in a package rated for a mildly hazardous material? _____ Only non-bulk packages need to be marked (T/F) _____ What is POP packaging? Specification packaging for carbonated beverages What they pack firecrackers in Performance Oriented Packaging
LABELING DOT/HAZMAT TRAINING INTRODUCTION THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TABLE SHIPPING PAPERS PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING LABELING PLACARDING LOADING AND STORAGE HAZMAT EMERGENCIES
LABELING Hazardous Material Warning labels are color-coded so that the hazards can be quickly recognized. Labels correspond to the placards that must appear on bulk packaging, freight containers, transport vehicles or rail cars that contain a hazardous material. Labels are NOT required on bulk packages with placard(s).
LABELING
LABELING Labels must include both the hazard class and the division of hazard, if required, according to the Hazardous Materials Table (Col. 6). Example: 5.1 for Oxidizer The first label listed is the primary hazard of the material. This label MUST contain the hazard class number. Additional labels indicate subsidiary hazards. These labels DO NOT contain the hazard class number. Labels must be visible. Example: Stretch wrapped skids of items.
LABELING
LABELING
LABELING - QUESTIONS How do you recognize a hazard from the label? By the color By the symbol on the label By the wording on the label By the number at the bottom of the label All of the above You can use two (or more) labels on one package (T/F). Labels do not need to be visible on all materials shipped as long as information is on the paperwork and the driver understands what he is shipping (T/F) Labels are NOT required on bulk packages (T/F)
PLACARDING DOT/HAZMAT TRAINING INTRODUCTION THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TABLE SHIPPING PAPERS PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING LABELING PLACARDING LOADING AND STORAGE HAZMAT EMERGENCIES
PLACARDING Hazmat placards are similar to the shape, color and design of hazmat warning labels. They serve the following purposes: To alert the public to the potential dangers of hazardous materials. To guide emergency personnel in their actions during a hazmat incident.
PLACARDING Unless excepted, each: Bulk package Freight container Unit load device Transport vehicle Rail car Containing any quantity of a hazardous material must be placarded on each side and each end with the placards specified in Part 172, Subpart F.
PLACARDING
PLACARDING
PLACARDING - QUESTIONS Placards are different from labels in what ways? They are bigger They typically contain only the hazard class number They are used on bulk, freight, tankers, etc. All of the above The hazard class number on the placard must match the number in the shipping description (T/F). Semi trailers containing non-bulk packaging never need to be placarded (T/F)
LOADING AND SECUREMENT DOT/HAZMAT TRAINING INTRODUCTION THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TABLE SHIPPING PAPERS PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING LABELING PLACARDING LOADING AND SECUREMENT HAZMAT EMERGENCIES
LOADING AND SECUREMENT The responsibility for complying with the provisions for loading, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials generally lies with the carrier. HOWEVER You know more about RBP chemicals than the driver does. There are two requirements that are of special importance. It’s up to the shipper (Us, RBP) to ensure the hazardous materials are properly loaded.
LOADING AND SECUREMENT SEPARATION DISTANCES: These are established for transporting radioactive materials and are also required for people and cargo compartment dividing partitions. SEGREGATION: Certain hazardous materials cannot be carried on the same load. (cyanides or cyanide mixtures cannot be transported with acids.) A Segregation Table provides a reference for segregating certain hazardous materials.
LOADING AND SECUREMENT
LOADING - QUESTIONS It’s up to the driver to make sure hazardous materials shipped by RBP are properly loaded, secured, and placarded? (T/F) Any chemical can be shipped with any other chemical (T/F) What is the segregation table for? Are there any RBP products that require segregation when shipped?
HAZMAT EMERGENCIES DOT/HAZMAT TRAINING INTRODUCTION THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TABLE SHIPPING PAPERS PACKAGING AND PACKAGE MARKING LABELING PLACARDING LOADING AND SECUREMENT HAZMAT EMERGENCIES
HAZMAT EMERGENCIES Those who handle hazardous materials must know: The basic description & technical name of the material Immediate hazard(s) to health Risks of fire and exposure Who to contact How to clear the area How to isolate a spill Preliminary first aid and fire fighting methods Emergency response phone numbers
HAZMAT EMERGENCIES The emergency response information must: Be printed in English Always be available Be available away from the package containing the hazmat. For example: On the shipping papers Attached to the shipping papers: Emergency Response Guide MSD Sheets. (Not an MSDS Sheet) In the truck cab, with the driver
EMERGENCIES - QUESTIONS Why is it important to keep response information separate from the hazardous material? The first step in responding to an emergency is: Isolate the spill Read the MSDS Clear the area Contact emergency response personnel What’s the second step? (Pick a letter)
RBP CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES DOT/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (DOT/HAZMAT) TRAINING HAZARDS COMMUNICATION (HAZCOM) TRAINING SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING
HAZARD COMMUNICATION Manufacturers or Suppliers are responsible for communicating the hazards of their materials (MSDS’s and labels) End users (employers) are responsible for communicating these hazards to their employees and having the information available. Employees are responsible for following the safety procedures for the hazardous materials they use.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION HAZCOM is also called the “Right to Know” law. You have a right to know the hazards in your workplace A Good Hazcom Program Consists Of: HAZARDS: Determining what they are WRITTEN PROGRAM: Describing how things are done and where information is kept LABELS to communicate hazards MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS TRAINING of Employee
HAZARDS Health Hazards Physical Hazards Chemicals can enter the body by Inhalation, Absorption or Ingestion Types of health hazards: Irritant, Corrosive, Sensitizer, Teratogen/Mutagen, Carcinogen, Toxic Physical Hazards Flammable, reactive, oxidizer, explosive, compressed gas, unstable, water reactive
WRITTEN PROGAM Describes the overall program at RBP Lists of chemicals used How MSDS’s are managed How hazard labels (HMIS) are used How training is done How contractors are trained
