HAZARD COMMUNICATION OSHA 29 CFR 1910 SUBPART Z 1 Bureau of Workers’ Comp PA Training for Health & Safety (PATHS) PPT

Hazard Communication Standard ( ) Intent - To provide employees with information to help them make knowledgeable decisions about the chemical hazards in their workplace. 2PPT

Requirements of the Standard Written program for each location to cover issues of chemical safety and hazard communication (HAZCOMM) Labels to identify each chemical. Material safety data sheets, or MSDS. Safe work procedures/practices. Employee training on MSDS information and safe chemical procedures and practices. 3PPT

Training Upon initial employment. When a new hazardous product/chemical is introduced into the workplace. Change in process. As deemed necessary by supervision/management. 4PPT

Right-to-Know Law Ensures all employees’ rights to know the hazards of chemicals they work with at their job. Mandates that employees must be provided with information about chemicals they work with through: Information on chemical labels. Material safety data sheets, or MSDS. Training on hazard communication. Written HAZCOMM plan. 5PPT

Why is a Standard Necessary? To evaluate the hazards of all chemicals imported into, produced or used in workplaces in the United States. To prevent or minimize employee exposure to chemicals. Because chemical exposure can contribute to serious health effects: Heart aliments. Burns/rashes. Kidney/lung damage. Sterility. Cancer. Central nervous system damage. 6PPT

Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety Chemicals are all around us every day. Chemicals can be Corrosive. Reactive. Flammable. Explosive. Oxidizing. Inert. 7PPT

Labeling 8 Example of one type of labeling system used PPT

Chemical Safety In many cases, the chemicals you may be dealing with at work are no more dangerous than those you use at home. However, in the workplace, exposure may be greater, concentrations higher and exposure time longer, so potential danger could be greater on the job. 9PPT

Routes of Occupational Exposure Inhalation - Nearly all materials that are airborne can be inhaled. Skin Absorption - Skin contact with a substance can result in a possible reaction. Ingestion - Most workers do not deliberately swallow materials they handle. Injection - Associated with blood-borne pathogens. Ocular - Absorbed through the eyes. 10PPT

The Hazards A chemical can pose a “physical hazard” or a “health hazard.” The hazard communication standard applies to both types of hazards. 11PPT

Physical Hazards Physical hazards are exhibited by certain chemicals because of their physical properties (e.g., flammability, reactivity, etc.) These chemicals fall into the following classes: Flammable liquids or solids. Combustible liquids. Compressed gases. Explosives. 12PPT

Physical Hazards Organic Peroxide = May react explosively to temperature/pressure changes. Oxidizers = Chemicals that initiate or promote combustion in other materials. Pyrophoric Materials = May ignite spontaneously in air temperatures of 130ºF or below Unstable Materials Water-Reactive Materials 13PPT

Health Hazards Health hazard - Occurs when a chemical produces an acute or chronic health effect on exposed employees. 14PPT

Acute Health Effects Happen quickly High, brief exposure. Examples: Carbon monoxide poisoning. Cyanide inhalation. Hydrogen sulfide inhalation. 15PPT

Chronic Health Effects May be caused by chemical exposures that do not cause immediate, obvious harm or make you feel sick right away. May not see, feel or smell the danger. Effects are long, continuous and follow repeated long-term exposure. Lung cancer from cigarette smoking. Black lung from coal mine dust. 16PPT

Keeping it Safe Corrosives, solvents and other chemical substances can be potentially dangerous. Safe handling procedures Read container labels. Check MSDS. Never sniff a chemical for identification. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. 17PPT

Chemical Labels Each container must be labeled, tagged or marked. Warning can be a message, words, pictures or symbols. Labels must be written in English and prominently displayed. 18PPT

Reading Chemical Labels Warning labels provide important information about the chemical DANGER WARNING CAUTION Always read the label before you begin a job using a potentially- hazardous chemical. 19PPT

What is a MSDS? Material safety data sheet. Developed by chemical manufacturers and importers. A MSDS must be on hand for each hazardous chemical used. 20PPT

What Information is on a MSDS? Chemical names. Manufacturer info (name, address and telephone numbers). List of chemical ingredients. Permissible exposure limits (PELs) or threshold limit values (TLVs). 21PPT

What Information is on a MSDS? (cont.) Reactions with other chemicals. Physical appearance. Date of preparation. How to put out a fire caused by a chemical. How to handle spills or leaks. How to prevent dangerous exposures. 22PPT

MSDS 23PPT

Where are your MSDSs? Must be readily-accessible to employees during their work shift. Are typically kept in a centralized location. Must be updated as new information becomes available. 24PPT

Written Hazard Communication Plan The Standard requires industry: To develop and implement a written hazard communication program. To provide hazard communication training for employees: Initially (to newly-hired personnel). Whenever a new hazard is introduced into the workplace. 25PPT

Written HAZCOMM Plan Should Include How MSDS filing requirements are being met. Type of labeling system being used. Detailed information on training and compliance. Methods to inform you of non-routine tasks and safe procedures. Methods to inform outside contractors of the HAZCOMM program. 26PPT

Special Hazards Management of process spills or leaks Implement the facility’s emergency control program. Secure the area. 27PPT

Contractor Requirements Contractors must abide by the applicable provisions of federal, state and local “hazard communication” and “right-to- know” laws. Any contractor found not meeting the provisions of the laws or contractor requirements may be required to cease work until compliance is achieved. 28PPT

Contractor Requirements (cont.) The company will review and provide MSDSs for any hazardous chemical. The contractor will maintain a copy of the hazard communication program. The contractor will certify that it has met the provisions of applicable laws. The contractor will notify the host safety department. The contractor will state where chemicals will be used or stored. 29PPT

Summary All facilities should have a hazard communication plan in a location that is accessible to all employees. All hazardous products should be labeled and all employees should be aware of what and where they are. MSDSs should be available and accessible for all hazardous products. 30PPT

Now that you’ve been Through the Presentation: Do you see any problems here? Maybe improperly labeled container-what’s in the coffee can? Coffee is not allowed with chemicals. If chemical, not labeled properly. If it contains a chemical, this coffee can is not the proper type of storage container. Large containers balanced on edge of shelf are not safe. 31PPT
