Physical Hazards of Chemicals: Combustible liquidFlammable Liquid Compressed gasExplosive Organic peroxideOxidizer PyrophoricUnstable Water Reactive
10
Chemical Health Hazards Carcinogen Corrosives Irritant Toxic Highly Toxic Sensitizer Anesthetics Asphyxiates Systemic Poisons Biohazards
11
Chemical Routes of Entry Exposure route is important in determining toxicity Four Routes of Exposure: 1. 2. 1. Inhalation 3. 2. Absorption 4. 3. Ingestion 5. 4. Injection
12
Factors Affecting Human Response To Chemical Exposure Toxic substances Route of exposure Chemical dose Individual factors / sensitivity Interaction with other chemicals
13
Short and Long Term Health Hazards Acute Effects Fast Immediate High Concentrations Delivered Chronic Effects Method takes years before any symptoms appear Small doses over a long period of time accumulates to form a large dose
14
Chemical Labeling OSHA requires manufacturers to label drums, cylinders, bags, and container that holds a hazardous chemicals. o Signals Words: Danger Caution Warning o Secondary labelling “Always read the label before you move, handle, or open a chemical container”
15
Sample Label WD-40 CAS No’s 8052-41-3, 68476-85-7, 64742-65-0 EYESContact with eyes may cause irritation, tearing, and redness SKINProlonged contact with the skin may cause drying or irritation of the skin INHALATIONOver-exposure may cause anesthesia, headache, dizziness, nausea and/or upper respiratory irritation INGESTIONMay cause irritation, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
16
Used by manufacturers and vendors to convey hazard information Obtained when a chemical is purchased All facilities must have ( for each chemical ): chemical inventory list; and MSDS MSDS overview: o Please turn to handouts #1 and #2 Understanding a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) (MSDS)
17
Why and What you Should Know about Chemical Labeling National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Diamonds Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS) labels Department of Transportation (DoT) labeling and placards
18
Recognize Hazards by: ThinkingAttention to DetailsDon’t Ignore Indicators
19
Engineering controls Workplace practices Product substitution Personal protective equipment Protective Measures
