9. EMPLOYEE RIGHTS The Occupation Health and Safety Act established certain guidelines for all employers to use for the protection and safety of their staff. All employees should be oriented to the hazard communication program. Review of the Hazard Communication Program will inform the staff about this program.

10. HAZARD COMMUNICATION Over the years, research has shown that sometimes workers are exposed to chemical hazards. It is known that chemical exposure may cause serious health effects. Chemicals may also be safety hazards. Some even have the potential to cause fire or other serious problems. Goals for Hazard Communication: • Hazard Communication • Recognize the Hazard Communication. • Employee Rights • State in your own words how you can protect yourself when asked to work with hazardous chemicals. • Labels on Containers • Identify the chemical name and the manufacturer on a container label. • List the two most common hazards found on container labels. • Safety Data Sheets • Identify where to find material safety data sheets. • List two ways to detect the presence of hazardous chemicals. • Identify the first person you should contact if a spill or injury occurs when using a hazardous chemical. • Lockout / Tagout Procedures • Always follow OSHA Lockout / Tagout Procedures.

11. Safety Data Sheets Should a spill or injury occur when using a hazardous chemical, contact your manager or supervisor immediately. Review of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) will provide facts on how to handle the chemical if spilled. It will also inform you of what to do in case of an injury. Below is a list of the information provided on the SDS. Section I Identification • Manufacturer’s name, address and telephone number. • Chemical name, family and formula. Section II Hazardous Ingredients • Product ingredients and percentages. • Conditions for safe exposure. (Threshold Limit Value - TLV) Section III Physical Data (Basic Scientific Data) • Boiling Point. • Appearance and odor. Section IV Fire and Explosion Hazard Data (Basic Safety Data) • Flash point and flammable limits. • Fire fighting procedures and materials. Section V Health Hazard Data • Safety information. • Effects of overexposure. • First-aid procedure. Section VI Reactivity Data • Stability of the product and what will react with it. • Conditions to avoid. Section VII Spill or Leak Procedures • Steps to control spills. • Proper disposal of wastes. Section VIII Special Protection Information • Personal protective equipment. • Ventilation needed to control exposure. Section IX Special Precautions • How to handle and store the product. • Other necessary precautions. A list of all chemicals used in the building, along with their SDS forms, are on file. All containers that hold chemicals must display a label that lists the contents and dilution rate.

12. Labels on Containers Any container which holds hazardous substances must have a label on it. The label should include the following items: • Name of chemical. • Name, address and telephone number of manufacturer. • Type of hazard(s). • Care to be taken when using the chemical. Each employee must be able to read and understand these labels. The information included on them will be of great value in case of a spill or an injury when using the chemicals. Certain information may be of value to the user regarding chemicals. Listed below are the two most common hazards found on container labels. • Physical Hazards - Reactive – chemicals that may undergo a violent change. - Flammable – chemicals that may ignite. • Health Hazards - Irritant – a substance that affects the skin, eyes, nose or respiratory tract upon contact. - Sensitizer – a substance that may cause an allergic response. - Corrosive – a substance that causes damage to the skin upon contact. - Toxic – a substance that can cause harmful effects depending on the dosage. - Carcinogenic – an agent that may cause cancer.

13. SUMMARY OF HAZARD COMMUNICATION Review of the Hazard Communication Program is crucial to any staff member who works with hazardous chemicals. Being able to read the labels on containers is vital to all staff members. The label provides facts on the type of chemicals found in each container. The Safety Data Sheets provide more information on what to do in case of an accident or spill involving the chemical. Be sure you know how to respond if an OSHA surveyor asks you specific questions about hazardous materials. Sample questions you may be asked by an OSHA surveyor include: • What training have you received in dealing with hazardous materials? • What hazardous material is commonly used in your work area? • What is an SDS? • Where do you find an SDS in your department? • What type of information is found in an SDS?

15. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL Rapid City Regional Hospital maintains an Emergency Preparedness Program. Within the program are the policies and procedures to follow in the event of an emergency. A quick response to a real emergency is vital to the safety of everyone. Policies and Procedures Policies have been established to help direct staff in case of an emergency. Everyone should learn what to do when a disaster notice is given. It is also vital to know what each code means. Listed below are a number of different disaster codes and a brief description of each.

Departments most likely affected include Emergency, Lab, Radiology and Surgery. 2. Standby Disaster (Paged “Standby D”) People on duty are warned that a disaster may occur. This will allow time for planning, resource gathering, etc. Should the disaster occur, a major disaster would be declared. 3. Major Disaster (Paged “Major D”) Staff is informed that a disaster has occurred. Also, more resources will be needed to handle the influx of patients expected. The entire system will then function on an emergency basis.

19. LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROGRAM RAPID CITY REGIONAL HOSPITAL What is Lockout / Tagout? Lockout / Tagout is for the control of hazardous energy sources and covers servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energization or startup of the machines or equipment or a release of stored energy could cause injury to employees. The OSHA ruling generally requires that the energy sources for equipment be turned off or disconnected and that the switch either be locked or labeled with a warning tag. Hazardous energy sources associated with machinery are: 1. Electrical 2. Pneumatic 3. Hydraulic 4. Fluids and Gases 5. Mechanical Basic Rules Applying to Lockout / Tagout Procedure • Anytime more than one person is performing “Servicing or Maintenance” on a piece of equipment at the same time, each shall place his/her own padlock on the energy isolating device. • No one other than the person(s) placing padlock(s) on energy isolating devices shall remove padlocks and restore power. • It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to enforce this policy in their trade. • The contractor must provide training to all authorized and affected employees to ensure the policy is understood. Basic Rules for Using Lockout or Tagout System Procedure • All equipment needs to be locked out or tagged out to protect against accidental or inadvertent operation when such operation could cause injury to personnel. • Do not attempt to operate any switch, valve, or other energy-isolating device where it is locked or tagged out.
