  2. Effective Dates

  3. Benefits of understanding chemical hazards Prevent injuries, deaths from: • Violent chemical reactions, fires, explosions • Burns, irritation, trouble breathing, nausea, diseases 1a

  4. Benefits of understanding chemical hazards Manufacturers, importers: • Classify chemical hazards • Provide labels, safety datasheets (SDSs) 1b

  5. Detecting hazardous chemicals in work areas • Air monitoring equipment • Appearance, odor • Physical, chemical characteristics • Unknown chemicals to be considered hazardous 2a

  6. Physical and health hazards • Chemical manufacturers or importers must classify chemicals according to the physical and health hazards • A chemical can have both physical and health hazards 3a

  7. Physical hazards: • Explosives • Flammable gases • Flammable aerosols • Flammable liquids • Flammable solids • Oxidizing liquids • Oxidizing solids • Oxidizing gases • Self-Reactive substances • Pyrophoric liquids • Pyrophoric solids • Self-heating substances • Organic peroxides • Corrosive to metals • Gases under pressure • Substances which, in contact with water emit flammable gases 4a

  8. Physical hazards • Pyrophoric gas - spontaneously ignites at 130°F or below • Combustible dust - build-up can ignite if suspended in air in confined area • Grains, sugar • Charcoal, soot • Chemicals (sulfur) • Metals (magnesium, aluminum) • Plastics, resins 4b

  9. Health hazards • Acutely toxicity • Skin corrosion or irritation • Serious eye damage or irritation • Respiratory or skin sensitization • Germ cell mutagen • Carcinogenicity • Reproductive toxin • Target organ systemic toxin • Single exposure • Repeated exposure • Aspiration hazard 5a

  10. Health hazards Simple asphyxiant - displaces oxygen in the air to create an oxygen-deficient atmosphere that can lead to unconsciousness, death 5b

  11. Health hazards Health effects: • Can occur rapidly after brief exposure (acute) • Long-term effects after prolonged, repeated exposure (chronic) 5c

  12. Protective control measures • Engineering controls • Administrative, work practice controls 7a

  13. Protective control measures • Enclosing operations • Ventilation equipment • Substituting less hazardous chemicals • Safer chemical handling procedures 7b

  14. Personal protective equipment (PPE) • Used when hazards are not completely controlled or eliminated by other control measures • PPE selection based on hazard assessment and effectiveness of PPE 8a

  15. Personal protective equipment (PPE) • Chemical-resistant: • Goggles • Face shields • Gloves • Boots • Coveralls • Aprons • Respirators • Do not use damaged, malfunctioning PPE 8b

  16. First aid • Read SDSs for first aid information before using chemical • Report overexposures to any chemical • Get prompt first aid, medical attention 10a

  17. First aid Contact with corrosive, irritating chemicals: • Know locations of emergency eyewash, showers • Learn how to use eyewash, showers • Flush eyes/skin with water 10b

  18. First aid Overexposure from breathing vapors, gases, aerosols, fumes, dust: • Move victim to safe area with fresh air • Get emergency medical assistance 10d

  19. First aid Ingesting chemicals: • Call poison control center, emergency medical responders • Have information from SDS available • Only induce vomiting or give water if advised by a medical provider 10e

  20. Written HazCom program OSHA’s HazCom standard includes requirements for: • Chemical classification • Safety data sheets (SDSs) • Labeling • Written HazCom program • Employee information, training • Provisions for trade secrets 11a

  21. Written HazCom program Written HazCom program: • Labels, warnings • Safety data sheets (SDSs) • Employee information, training • List of hazardous chemicals • How employees learn hazards of non-routine tasks • Hazards of chemicals in unlabeled pipes 11b

  22. Labeling overview • Labels warn of potential dangers • Labels are not intended to be the sole source of information • Labels serve as an immediate warning • Containers need labels • Pipes, fuel tanks, engines are not containers 12a

  23. Labeling overview While HazCom 2012 is phased in, you will still see labels meeting previous rule: • Identity of hazardous chemical • Appropriate hazard warnings • Name and address of manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party 12d

  24. Labeling - shipped containers • Product identifier (matches SDS and list) • Signal word (Danger = severe hazard; Warning = less severe) • Hazard statement (based on hazard class and category) • Pictogram (symbol to show hazard class) • Precautionary statement (safe use, storage) • Name, address, phone number of manufacturer, importer, or responsible party to contact for emergency information 13a

  25. Labeling - shipped containers 13b

  26. Labeling - shipped containers 13c

  27. Labeling - shipped containers 13d

  28. Labeling - shipped containers 13e

  29. Labeling - shipped containers OSHA-defined hazards - Simple asphyxiant: • No pictogram • Signal word = “WARNING” • Hazard statement = “May displace oxygen and cause rapid suffocation” 13f

  30. Labeling - shipped containers OSHA-defined hazards - Combustible dust: • No pictogram • Signal word = “WARNING” • Hazard statement = “May form combustible dust concentrations in air” 13g

  31. Labeling - shipped containers OSHA-defined hazards - Pyrophoric gas: • Flame pictogram • Signal word = “DANGER” • Hazard statement = “Catches fire spontaneously if exposed to air” 13h

  32. Labeling - in-house containers • Rely on labels on shipped containers • Re-label if label falls off • Re-label if label cannot be read 14a

  33. Labeling - in-house containers Transferring hazardous chemicals to another container: • Must label container if another person will use it • Must label container if it is available during another shift 14b

  34. Labeling - in-house containers Different system for in-house labels: • Product identifier • Words, pictures, symbols, or a combination of these, that provide at least general information on the hazards of the chemicals 14d

  35. Labeling - in-house containers NFPA system identifies: • Health hazards - Blue • Flammability hazards - Red • Reactivity hazards - Yellow • Special hazards - White Hazard severity (0 to 4): • 0 = none • 4 = severe 14e

  36. Labeling - in-house containers HMIS system identifies: • Health hazards - Blue • Flammability hazards - Red • Physical hazards - Orange • Personal protection - White Hazard severity (0 to 4): • 0 = minimal • 1 = slight • 2 = moderate • 3 = serious • 4 = severe 14f

  37. Safety data sheet (SDS) • Chemical fact sheets • Provided by chemical suppliers • Employer keeps themup to date • Must be in English • Immediately available • Report missing SDSs 16a
