1. Environmental, Health and Safety You, the Customer and NCH

2. NCH has a proactive Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) program with the goal to prevent all injuries, damage to property and environmental impacts.
NCH wants you to share in our belief that all accidents and incidents are preventable. To achieve that goal, you must be able to identify and correct hazards on the spot or know where to get help.

3. An Essential Element of NCH’s EHS Process Is Knowledge
This orientation provides you with information about rules and regulations, specific site conditions, safe work practices and NCH’s expectations that you need to know in order to perform your job safely. To work safely, you will have to gather additional information on these topics for every site on which you work. When working in any facility, whether owned by a customer or by NCH, you are expected to comply with all environmental, health and safety (EHS), standards, policies and procedures established by the facility. When your job requires that you work at a customer location, you must consult with the customer about their EHS programs, hazards and accepted practices. You and the customer should agree to comply with the more stringent EHS requirements – the customer’s or NCH’s.

NCH EHS Policies and Procedures
Customer EHS Policies and Procedures
As a Contractor or Service Provider, you are expected comply with all applicable governmental, state, and local environmental, health and safety laws, regulations, rules and codes and NCH's EHS requirements and rules.
Where NCH requirements and rules are more stringent than the customer’s, NCH regulations and rules should govern your actions.
SPEAKER NOTES:

11. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Many facilities have general safety policies not prescribed by regulations. These are important for safe operations and you must abide by these requirements unless they are in conflict with a regulatory requirement. Examples of these requirements include:
All contractors must sign-in and pick-up an identification badge at the main lobby upon arrival and sign-out when leaving even if only leaving the property for supplies or lunch.
All vehicles and personnel entering or exiting the facility are subject to inspection.
Smoking is not allowed except in designated smoking areas. Where fire hazards are great, smoking materials may be prohibited with the plant boundaries altogether.

12. GENERAL SAFETY RULES continued
Possession and /or use of alcohol, illegal narcotics, fire arms or other weapons is prohibited.
Jewelry is strictly prohibited – No rings, watches, bracelets, dangling neck chains or earrings, etc.
All work activity shall be performed in a manner that will minimize interference with normal operations.
Contractor employees shall remain in their assigned work areas unless there is a need to be elsewhere.
No loitering in maintenance shop, cafeteria, restrooms, smoke room, etc.
Aluminum cans, glass bottles, butane lighters and matches are prohibited.

13. IDENTIFICATION BADGE
Many companies, including NCH, require employees, contractors and visitors to have an identification badge for entry and identification purposes. Below are some ID badge requirements common to many manufacturing locations.
Every employee is required to have an company issued ID badge to gain entrance and work in the facility.
Badges must be worn by the employee at all times and returned to the designated area prior to leaving the facility.
Contractors must sign “IN” and “OUT” each time they enter or leave the facility.
ID badges often contain important information such as emergency telephone numbers and emergency procedures.

14. IDENTIFICATION BADGE
Many companies include important information on the identification badges they issue. Check the front and back of the ID badge to see if it contains the following:
Emergency Information such as notification procedures,
evacuation procedures, and responsibilities.
Personal Protective Equipment required in plant operations
General Safety rules for the plant
Names and telephone numbers for Emergency, Environmental
and Safety / Health Contacts

15. CONTRACTOR SAFETY PLAN
Many employers require that a Contractor Safety Plan be developed for each awarded contract. These plans usually require you to:
Identify specific job hazards and protective measures you will employ to do the work safely
Conduct daily or weekly inspections
Have the plan posted at the job location or otherwise viewed by employees daily
Be returned to the contract representative upon completion of the job

16. HAZARD COMMUNICATION
Right to Know
MSDS
Hazardous Materials

17. HAZARD COMMUNICATION
Your Right To Know Some chemicals can pose serious health and safety hazards if you are exposed to them in sufficient quantities. The health or safety effects may occur immediately (acute) or they may occur over a long period of time (chronic). You may not even know you have been exposed to some chemicals because they lack warning properties such as smell or irritation. The best way to prevent adverse effects is for you to know the potential hazards of all chemicals with which you work so you can protect yourself and others. NCH believes that you have the Right-to-Know about these potential hazards and urges you to secure information on the chemicals used in all places you work.  

18. HAZARD COMMUNICATION
There are two places you can readily find information on the hazards of the chemicals with which you work – the container label and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Container Label Every chemical container must be labeled with the chemical’s identity and its associated hazards. MSDS It is important to always read the MSDS prior to using any chemical. The MSDS contains information of the chemical’s hazards, precautions for safe use and what to do in the event of an emergency. Most employers, including NCH, require a copy of a MSDS for all chemicals brought on site.

19. MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
ACCIDENTS
INJURIES
EMERGENCIES

20. MINOR INJURIES
If you are injured on the job, you are required to inform your NCH supervisor and contract representative as soon as possible – even if it is a minor injury that only requires first aid. They will notify the appropriate persons and determine if a first report of injury needs to be completed.
Customers often require contractors to report all injuries or illnesses to them as well. This may be a contractual requirement so check with the contract administrator or your designated contact.

21. SERIOUS INJURY and/or ILLNESS
If you suffer an injury or illness that requires more than first aid, you must notify the proper authorities where you are working as well as the appropriate NCH persons.
If you suffer a serious injury or you witness the serious injury of another person, you must know how to make the appropriate notifications. Learn the procedure for each facility in which you work such as the example shown below.
Locate the nearest phone and call “557” to page the CPR team using the plant intercom system
Give the Location of the emergency - use column numbers or give a department name
If a First Responder does not report call “9-911” for outside emergency services

22. FIRE PREVENTION & PROTECTION
Types of Fires
Fire Extinguisher Use
Flammables Storage

23. FIRE PREVENTION & PROTECTION
Over 5,000 fires occur in the workplace each day. Every fire has the potential to cause devastating losses to both life and property.
You should exercise caution when performing activities that may cause or contribute to a fire.
maintain good housekeeping for paper, cardboard, rags, etc.
store flammable/combustible liquids in approved containers
Inspect electrical equipment daily
You should know how to respond if a fire does occur in an area in which you work. Review the site’s "Emergency Action Plan" and "Fire Prevention Plan for details.

24. FIRE PREVENTION & PROTECTION
Fire extinguishers are rated for the types of fires on which they may be used. The most common types of fire extinguishers are:
Type A - for use on wood, paper, dirty rags, etc. – proper housekeeping will help prevent these types of fires
Type B - for use on chemical fires (gas, paints) – proper storage of flammables is important to prevent these types of fires
Type C - for use of electrical fires – proper inspection and installation of equipment is necessary for prevention of electrical fires
Many fire extinguishers carry multiple ratings so they can be used on several types of fires. These will be a designation such as 2-A:10-B:C or 40-B:C.

25. THINGS TO REMEMBER
Fire extinguishers should be located throughout buildings and work yards and their locations identified by signs.
Remember the word PASS when using a fire extinguisher
Pull - the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher.
Aim - the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire, standing about 6' - 8' away.
Squeeze - or depress the handle.
Sweep - gently from side to side until the fire is out.
Fire hoses are for fire department use only.
If the fire is too large to contain with one fire extinguisher, activate the evacuation alarm and evacuate the building.
Proper storage of flammables will help prevent fires.

26. ENVIRONMENTAL Environmental Releases Notification Control and Clean-Up
Waste Disposal
Hazardous Waste and Storage

27. ENVIRONMENTAL
Releases to the environment (spills, gas releases, etc.) are considered a serious matter at all locations. An uncontrolled release always has the potential to contaminate the ground, surface water or the atmosphere. Spills of any chemical must be reported to the customer’s EHS department immediately, even if the spill is not related to the work you are performing. At no time are chemicals or other materials to be left exposed to the weather since it could result in contaminated runoff to storm drains, the ground or streams.

28. ENVIRONMENTAL
When bulk chemicals are taken on-site, the contractor is generally responsible to store the material in designated areas and may be required to provide suitable secondary containment. Disposition of contractor’s chemicals and chemical wastes should be left to the contractor unless other arraignments are agreed upon before work starts. No chemicals are to be disposed of on site. Exceptions require prior written approval from the local EHS Manager and NCH’s Office of Regulatory Affairs.

29. HEALTH
Industrial Hygiene
Bloodborne Pathogens

30. INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
Industrial hygiene includes those measures and practices taken to protect you from the potential hazards of exposure to chemicals, physical stresses, biological agents and radiations.
Substitution of less harmful materials offers the best protection – that is why it is usually better to use water as a cleaner than a solvent.
Engineering controls offer the next best level of protection. These include controls such as exhaust ventilation and enclosures.
Administrative controls such as reduced exposure time and frequent breaks can be effective when working in hot environments.
Personal Protective Equipment (ppe) is the least effective means of control, but often is the best solution for temporary or sporadic exposures.
Personal hygiene (keeping your hands, face, and clothes clean and free of contaminants) also keeps your exposure low and prevents you from spreading the hazards to your car or home.
None of these controls will work if you defeat them or fail to use them. When controls are provided in the work environment, use them.

31. Bloodborne Pathogens
Many diseases are transported through contact with contaminated blood and bodily fluids. You must know about these diseases and take precautions to protect yourself.
Anyone who may be exposed to blood or other bodily fluids must be trained on the proper measures to control or prevent exposure.
Treat all bodily fluids as if infected, regardless of the injured party.

32. HOUSEKEEPING
Daily clean-up
Store flammables and combustibles properly
Put away all items: hoses, cables, electrical cords, etc.
Handling and disposal of waste

33. HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping is indicative of a proactive safety attitude and can eliminate the cause of many accidents.   Housekeeping means the neat and orderly arrangement of tools and materials, as well as the proper and timely clean-up of trash and debris.  Always clean up as you go. Everyone’s concentrated efforts will sustain a neater, safer job site.

34. IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Store flammables and combustibles in proper containers.
Protect all hoses, cables and electrical cords.
Ask your supervisor and customer contact if you have any questions regarding the handling and disposal of waste.
Housekeeping is everyone’s responsibility.

Personal protective equipment shall be kept clean and in good working condition. You should conduct a hazard assessment of each job to determine the appropriate personal protective equipment for the task at hand.

37. PPE GENERAL
When using a hard hat or bump cap insure it is clean and in good condition. Do not wear backwards!
Wear suitable clothing such as rubber boots, safety-toed shoes, long pants and long sleeved shirts. 
You can use face shields with safety glasses and chemical splash goggles – they serve different functions.  
Use protective gloves, aprons and sleeves in addition to face and eye protection when chemical splashes are possible.
Be careful when removing PPE that may have been contaminated with a chemical and clean them before storing.

38. OTHER PPE MAY BE REQUIRED
Fall protection, consisting of full body harness and shock absorbing lanyards is required when working in areas from which one could fall six (6) feet or more or fall into a hazardous condition. 
When grinding or chipping or there is the potential for splashed chemicals, a face shield is required in addition to eye protection.
Electrically-rated gloves and flame retardant clothing may be required when working close to energized exposed electrical equipment.
Working in other areas may required additional personal protective equipment such as a long sleeve shirt, chemical resistant gloves, respirators, whole body suits, etc.

39. WARNING SIGNS and BARRICADES
