NYS PESH Training and Education
Physical Hazards Combustible liquids and flammables Compressed gases Explosives Oxidizers Pyrophorics Reactives NYS PESH Training and Education
5
Flammable vs Combustible
Flashpoint - Minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite Flammable Liquid - Flashpoint <100°F (Gasoline) Combustible Liquid – Flashpoint ≥100°F but <200°F (Diesel Fuel) NYS PESH Training and Education

NYS PESH Training and Education
Pyrophorics Will ignite spontaneously in air at or below 130°F NYS PESH Training and Education
10
NYS PESH Training and Education
Reactives When stored or used improperly, some chemicals can react with themselves or other chemicals and release dangerous materials NYS PESH Training and Education

Health Hazards Evidence exists that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees NYS PESH Training and Education
12
NYS PESH Training and Education
Acute vs Chronic Acute – effects appear promptly after exposure, usually within 24 hours Chronic – delayed effects following repeated, long duration exposure NYS PESH Training and Education
13
Types of Health Effects
Carcinogens Toxic agents Reproductive toxins Corrosivity Irritants Sensitizers NYS PESH Training and Education
14
NYS PESH Training and Education
Toxicity The ability to cause injury to a living system Neurotoxin Hepatotoxin Nephrotoxin Dermaltoxin Cardiotoxin NYS PESH Training and Education
15
NYS PESH Training and Education
Routes of Exposure Inhalation Ingestion Absorption Injection NYS PESH Training and Education
16
Dose – Response Concept
The effect of a chemical depends upon the amount and duration of exposure A substance could be helpful in small doses (drug remedy) but harmful in larger doses (poison) NYS PESH Training and Education
17
NYS PESH Training and Education
Hierarchy of Controls Engineering Controls – substitution, elimination, ventilation, enclosure Administrative Controls – work practices and employee rotation Personal Protective Equipment – Last resort because hazard still exists NYS PESH Training and Education
