Hazard Communication Training Program “Right-to-Know” Program

Objective Under this program, the goal is….. To educate employees on how to know recognize potential hazards within their workplace To help reduce the risks involved in working with hazardous materials Safe handling procedures Learning what measures to take for protection from these chemicals * Employees in ALL work areas should become familiar with this OSHA Standard

Introduction About 32 million employees work with and are potentially exposed to one or more chemical hazards Approximately 650,000 chemical products exist Hundreds of new ones are being introduced annually Some chemicals may pose safety hazards and have the potential to cause fires, explosions and other serious accidents

How does this apply to You... OSHA recommends that everyone know how to find the proper information to protect themselves If in an office setting or otherwise, you might think Hazard Communication would not apply to you…however, you could always find yourself in a situation and not realize it… For Example: If you were using a cleaning agent for your desk or office you need to know how to read the label prior to using the cleaning agent. Or on the other hand, recognize not to use something that could be mixed improperly or does not have a label on it. And, in case of an exposure or accident, you need to know how to react in an emergency situation

OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard Hazard Communication Program Container Labeling Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS Program Label To ensure that employers and employees know about work hazards and how to protect themselves so that the incidence of illnesses and injuries due to hazardous chemicals is reduced.

Definitions Hazard-  An exposure associated with an unacceptable risk for illness or disease Material-  A chemical or mixture of chemicals, including raw materials, process additives, products, by-products, waste materials, maintenance related materials, and laboratory chemicals Material Safety Data Sheets-  A document addressing the Risk Management aspects of a material.

Department Responsibilities List hazardous chemicals within your location Obtain MSDS Sheets and labels for each hazardous chemical…provided by the manufacturer, importer or distributor Communicate hazard information to employees and new hires in your departments through labels, MSDS sheets and formal training

So how can hazards be reduced? The first step is to perform a thorough hazard assessment or materials inventory list  Making a list of all the hazardous chemicals within your department We as the Employer can rely on the evaluations performed by manufacturers or importers to establish the hazards of the chemicals they produce  This information can be found from MSDS sheets and labels

How must chemicals be labeled? Each department shall verify that all containers of hazardous chemicals entering the workplace or received for use will include the following information from the manufacturer: Clearly labeled as to the contents of the chemical Notes appropriate hazard warnings Lists the name and address of the responsible party

Container Labeling The Hazard Warning can be any of the following that provides information on the hazards of the chemicals and the targeted organs affected, if applicable: Any type of message Picture Symbol Labels must be legible in English (others if desired) and displayed

What is a Material Safety Data Sheet? Prepared & Given by the chemical manufacturer or importer and describe the following:  Physical hazards, such as fire and explosion  Health hazards, such as signs of exposure  Routes of exposure  Precautions for safe handling and use  Emergency and first-aid procedures  Control Measures In other words….It’s what YOU need to Know to Protect Yourself!!!!!

Material Safety Data Sheets Must be convenient & readily accessible to all employees during their work shift and in each work area MSDS sheets have no prescribed format Must be in English and include information regarding the specific chemical identity and common names If not on containers, you must call the manufacturers to get the full description of the chemicals with which you are working Do Not use the chemical until you know what you are working with first!

What an MSDS Sheet Looks Like Example:

MSDS Sheet-Continued Example:

The MSDS Tells You All of the Following : 1. What chemicals are in the product. 2. Maximum time you can legally be exposed to the chemical. 3. Is the product a fire or explosion hazard? 4. How it enters/harms your body? 5. How it affects your Health - Short and Long Term. 6. What Personal Protection Equipment needs to be used. 7. How do you handle the product safely? 8. Is there a danger when the product is combined with other chemicals? 9. In the event of a spill or release, what should be done.

In Conclusion, You Should KNOW….. 1.Where the County keeps its written Hazard Communication Program - (Risk Management Dept.) 2.What chemicals you work with in your Department (given by department) 3.Where the MSDS sheets are located in your department 4.Every container must have a label 5.What chemicals are in each container you work with in your department

In Conclusion….. 6.What personal protective equipment to wear when using a chemical (found on MSDS sheet) 7.Information to protect yourself from all chemicals ( even common ones such as rubbing alcohol and bleach) 8.How to check the MSDS sheet for cleaning up a particular spill 9.First aid procedures for the chemicals in your area if an accident occurs (found on MSDS sheet) 10.How to properly store the chemicals with which you work
