25 Health hazards v Acutely toxic v Chronically toxic v Carcinogenic v Mutagenic v Teratogenic v Sensitizing agent v Corrosive v Irritant Health hazards cause health effects upon exposure 2a

26 Physical hazards include any chemical that is: v Combustible liquid v Compressed gas v Explosive v Flammable v Organic peroxide v Oxidizer v Pyrophoric v Unstable (reactive) v Water-reactive 2b

27 Hazard communication program v Must comply with Hazard Communication Standard - 29 CFR 1910.1200 3a

28 Hazard communication program Written program must include: v a list of hazardous chemicals present in the workplace v MSDS v labeling system information 3b

29 Hazard communication program Written program must include: v employee training information v information regarding nonroutine hazards v methods of informing employers of other workers (contractors) 3c

30 Hazard communication program v Written program does not have to be accessible to every work area and every work shift v Written program is available to workers upon request 3d

31 Accessing Hazcom documents v Workers must know how to obtain, and the location of: the written Hazcom programthe written Hazcom program lists of hazardous chemicalslists of hazardous chemicals MSDSsMSDSs 4a

32 Protective measures v Work practices v Engineering controls v Personal protective equipment 5a

33 Material safety data sheets v Primary tool for getting detailed chemical information v Must be readily available 6a

34 Material safety data sheets include v Chemical identity v Physical and chemical characteristics v Physical and health hazards v Primary routes of entry 6b

35 Material safety data sheets include v PEL, TLV, other exposure limits v Whether it is a carcinogen v Precautions for safe handling/use v Recommended engineering controls 6c

36 Material safety data sheets include v Emergency first aid procedures v Date of preparation v Name, address, phone number of manufacturer, importer, responsible party 6d

37 Material safety data sheets v MSDSs may contain recommendations from ANSI 6e

38 Material safety data sheets v MSDSs also provide information regarding: signs and symptoms of exposuresigns and symptoms of exposure personal protective equipmentpersonal protective equipment spill and leak clean-upspill and leak clean-up labeling informationlabeling information 6f

39 Each chemical must have an MSDS v MSDS must be available to downstream employers from: chemical manufacturerschemical manufacturers importersimporters distributorsdistributors 7a

40 Labeling requirements v Labels warn of potential dangers v Labels are not intended to be the sole source of information 7a

41 Labeling requirements v Labels serve as an immediate warning v Labels must be keyed to MSDSs 7b

42 Labeling requirements v Labels must contain: the identity of the hazardous chemicalthe identity of the hazardous chemical appropriate hazard warningsappropriate hazard warnings the name, address of the chemical manufacturer, importer, other responsible partythe name, address of the chemical manufacturer, importer, other responsible party 7c

43 Labeling requirements v Ensure that labels do not come off, become smudged or unreadable v For hard-to-label containers, use: signs or placardssigns or placards process sheets, or batch ticketsprocess sheets, or batch tickets 7d

44 Labeling requirements v Be able to quickly identify the general hazard of any material: NFPA system identifies:NFPA system identifies: –Health hazards –Flammability hazards –Reactivity hazards –Special hazards 7e

45 Labeling requirements v Be able to quickly identify the general hazard of any material: HMIS system identifiesHMIS system identifies –Health hazards –Flammability hazards –Physical hazards 7f

46 Hazards of nonroutine tasks v Know what chemicals you work with and their hazards v Know the contents of pipes 8a
