TDI BrooksGHS & HAZCOM Training TDI Brooks’s Hazcom Program is in SOP-GEN-013B Prepared by Shannon Smith Last Revision March 2017
OSHA’s HAZCOM Regulation • This regulation was passed to protect workers from hazardous chemicals in the workplace. • It established the worker’s “Right to Know” what chemicals he or she was exposed to at work. Old Regulation
OSHA’s HAZCOM Regulation • In 2012, the regulation was updated to include the United Nations’ GHS system. • The current version emphasizes the worker’s “Right to Understand” the hazards of the chemicals and how to protect themselves. Current Regulation
What is GHS? • The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, (GHS), was created by the United Nations • Purpose: to standardize how to classify and label hazardous chemicals among participating countries.
Why was it created? • The goal of the GHSwas for workers of any nationality to easily recognize and understand the hazards of the chemicalsthey are exposed to.
Why a HazCom Program? • OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(1) • All employers must have a Hazard Communication Program (HazCom). • It informs employees about the hazardous chemicals to which they are exposed, using labels, safety data sheets, informationand training.
TDI’s HAZCOM Program • TDI’s HAZCOM program is SOP-GEN-013B **This SOP should be the first sectionof every SDS binder
Safety Data Sheets (formerly MSDS) • Manufacturers have to create a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)to give the user information about a chemical or substance. • You should have an SDS sheet for every chemical you use on the vessel
SDS Binders • SDS sheets are kept in clearly labeled SDS binders • Can have one binder per vessel • Or can keep a binder in each locker / area where the chemicals are used. (Galley, engine room, lab) • Vessel decides what works for you!
SDS Page on TDI Ship Web Pages • TDI Brooks ship web pages includes an SDS page. • The SDS page contains: • The Hazcom Training PowerPoint • GHS Pictograms poster • A blank chemicals list form in Excel • SDSs for commonly used chemicals
The SDS page is organized by types and departments.
SDS- Sections you need to know • Section 1- Identifies product and manufacturer • Section 2- Identifies Hazards • Section 4- First Aid Measures • Section 7- Handling and Storage • Section 8- Exposure Control/ PPE • Section 10- Stability and Reactivity
This SDS is for BLEACH. Section 1chemical, manufacturer & emergency phone number. PRODUCT NAME: Clorox Regular Bleach SUPPLIER ADDRESS: The Clorox Company, 1221 Broadway, Oakland, CA 97612 EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER: For medical emergencies call 1-800-446-1014
Section 4first aid measures EYE CONTACT: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Call doctor for treatment advice. SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call doctor for treatment advice. INHALATION: Move to fresh air. INGESTION: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth.
Section 7-handling,storage and incompatibilities. HANDLING: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. STORAGE: Store upright in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight and heat to avoid deterioration. Do not contaminate feed or food by storage of this product. INCOMPATIBLE PRODUCTS: Toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers, acids and products containing ammonia
Section 8-recommended PPE EYE FACE PROTECTION: If splashing is likely, wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) or face shield. SKIN AND BODY PROTECTION: Wear neoprene gloves and protective clothing such as a long sleeved shirt. Do not wear contaminated clothing for prolonged periods.
Section 10-warns of strong reactions with other substances. REACTIVITY: Reacts with other household chemicals such as toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers, acids or products containing ammonia to create hazardous irritating gasses, such as chlorine. INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers, acids or products containing ammonia.
Labeling Secondary Containers • You may transfer a product into a smaller container or spray bottle for easier use. • But- you must label it with at least: • Product name • Words or pictograms to show the physical or chemical hazards
?????????????????? • Is this secondary container labeled correctly?
?????????????????? No. The product is identified, but there is no indication of the hazards.
?????????????????? This container has a written description of how the worker should protect him or herself. Is it labeled correctly?
?????????????????? Yes. It indicates the hazards by telling the worker what personal protective equipment is recommended
?????????????????? What about this one?
?????????????????? Yes. The pictures indicate there are hazards to the skin and eyes and recommend protective equipment.
?????????????????? • Is this container labeled correctly?
Memory is the first thing to go… • If this looks familiar, you need some practice making labels….
GHS Pictograms- why we need them When’s the last time you read the instructions for ANYTHING???
Most important info fast Easy to see Easy to understand GHS Pictograms
There are 9 GHS pictograms to identify chemical hazards Irritating! Explosive Corrosive Kills aquatic animals
GHS Pictograms Gas under pressure Highly toxic (Can kill you fast) Flammable
Health Hazard Can damage your body in multiple ways • Cancer • Genetic mutation • Birth defects or infertility • Organ damage Lung, nose and throat damage
Oxidizers • Oxidizers release large amounts of oxygen into the air. • Oxidizers tend to be corrosive– so wear PPE • They are also reactive– they react strongly with other products
OxidizersL VE toBURN!! • Store them by themselves • Keep them away from flammables
Pictograms Poster • Every vessel should have a GHS pictograms poster in a central area and/ or near the SDS Binder. **Get the poster on the SDS page of the ship web pages
How to detect a chemical • Smell is one way to detect if a chemical is present or leaking from a container. • Most of you have found a broken bottle or spilled substance by smell.
How to detect a chemical • Sometimes, detecting a spill is more obvious. • Sight is another way to detect if a chemical is present or is leaking from a container.
How to detect a chemical • Other dangerous chemicals have no smell. Carbon monoxide can’t be seen or smelled, but can be fatal. • Detectors are used to monitor these types of chemicals.
How to Protect Yourself • Before using chemicals consult the • PPE matrix • product label • and the SDS before using it.
OSPHO- hazards • Vessels frequently use OSPHO metal treatment. • This is a solution of 75% phosphoric acid. • This acid is highly corrosive and produces very flammable gas when applied to metal. • Make sure the SDS is in the binder and review it before use.
OSPHO- hazards • PPE- • Ventilate the area • Wear glovesand • eye protection • (face shield, safety glasses or goggles)
Unidentified Chemical???? • SOP-GEN-013B Sec 4.4 • Label has worn off or can’t be read • You don’t know what it is • Give it to the Chief Mate for storage and proper disposal at shore.
Accidental Exposure Procedure • SOP-GEN-013B Sec 6.0 • When a worker has been accidentally exposed to a chemical through skin contact, inhalation or ingestion • Stop the exposure • Provide first aid to the worker • Notify his supervisor and • Complete incident report
Non-Routine Tasks • Using a new chemical? • The supervisor of the workers who will perform the work is responsible for conducting a Job Safety Analysis (JSA)which includes • Reading the SDS and warning labels of the chemical • Informing the employees is of the hazards • Requiring appropriate PPEto be worn
Review • You should now be able to… Find a copy of the TDI HazCom Program Properly label a secondary container Find PPE, storage and first aid info on an SDS Recognize the GHS pictograms and know what they mean Respond to accidental chemical exposure
