Toxic and Hazardous Substances NOTE: NOTE: Although many shops may not have these particular hazards/issues/concerns many shops may have others not listed. This lesson does not contain information that addresses every shop hazard. It is the supervisor's responsibility to perform a Hazard Assessment to determine existing and predictable hazards. It is highly recommended the shop supervisor or designee contact EH&S for guidance at 480-965-1823 or ehs@asu.eduehs@asu.edu TABLE OF CONTENTS

3 Walking and Working Surfaces Housekeeping Shop floors shall be maintained in a sanitary, clean and, so far as possible, a dry condition. Where wet processes are used, drainage shall be provided, and false floors, platforms, mats, or other dry standing places should be provided where practicable. To facilitate cleaning make sure the floors, working place, and passageway are kept free from protruding nails, splinters, holes, or loose boards.

8 Occupational Health and Environmental Controls (Ventilation, Noise) ASU has an established (and maintains) an audiometric testing program for all employees whose exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels. To determine your sound levels and requirements contact ASU EH&S at 480-965-1823.

9 Hazardous Materials (Compressed Gases, Flammable and Combustible Liquids) Each workshop supervisor shall determine that compressed gas cylinders under their control are in a safe condition to the extent that this can be determined by visual inspection. All cylinders, at a minimum, shall be: a. Identifiable as to the type of gas, b. Secured at the upper half of the cylinder, c. Capped when not in use. Incompatible gasses shall not be stored together. For More Information and Training Contact ASU EH&S at 480-965-1823

10 Hazardous Materials (Compressed Gases, Flammable and Combustible Liquids) "Flammable liquid" means any liquid having a flashpoint below 100 deg. F. (37.8 deg. C.), except any mixture having components with flashpoints of 100 deg. F. (37.8 deg. C.) or higher, the total of which make up 99 percent or more of the total volume of the mixture. For More Information and Guidance Contact The ASU Fire Marshal's Office At 480-965-1823 ALL FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SHALL BE PROPER STORED, CONTROLLED AND DISPOSED OF.

12 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective equipment, including PPE for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. Contact ASU EH&S at 480-965-1823 for Assistance With Workshop Hazard Assessments and PPE Determinations.
13
13 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Where spraying operations take place be sure to have the operations evaluated for potential air contaminants, what respiratory PPE is required and other regulatory requirements! Nuisance dust masks are not an effective means of respiratory protection where chemicals are used! Respirator use requires a personal medical evaluation, training and respirator fit testing by a qualified person! =

15 Material Handling And Storage Storage of material shall not create a hazard. Bags, containers, bundles, etc., stored in tiers shall be stacked, blocked, interlocked and limited in height so that they are stable and secure against sliding or collapse. Storage areas shall be kept free from accumulation of materials that constitute hazards from tripping, fire, explosion, or pest harborage. X
