3. Florida-Right-To-KnowChapter 442Hazardous Communication Title 29 CFR 1910.1200

4. What is the Florida Right-To-Know Law? • Alike in meaning to the OSHA Hazcom standard • Written to protect the community • Written to protect workers

5. The Government Regulation Requires: • That companies research their products to determine their hazards • That chemical manufacturers provide detailed information about their chemicals to their customers • That chemical manufacturers provide warning labels for the chemicals they produce • Employers train the people who handle or are exposed to chemicals about their hazards

6. The Government Regulation Requires: • Employers maintain a chemical exposure plan to protect employees from the chemicals in the workplace

7. What is a Chemical Exposure Plan? • Provides employees with updated, completed MSDS’s (Material Safety Data Sheets) • Makes sure all containers and secondary containers are labeled as to their contents • Makes sure that Personal Protective Equipment is provided to employees at no cost

8. What is a Chemical Exposure Plan? • Makes sure that training is done annually or as needed • Gives chemical information / location to local fire and emergency personnel • Names individuals responsible for maintaining written program/MSDS’s

9. What is an MSDS? • An MSDS is a detailed instruction sheet which describes each chemical in your workplace.

11. MSDS’s Usually Contain 9 Sections • Even though chemical manufacturers can write their MSDS’s in any format the information is generally set up in the 9 section format

16. Physical Data • States at what point the chemical will boil • How much vapor a chemical will emit; the lower boiling point, the higher the vapor pressure • States how heavy the vapors a chemical emits are compared to air • States how well the chemical will combine with water

17. Physical Data • Compares the weight of the chemical to water • States how explosive the chemical is • Describes the appearance and odor of the chemical • Section III - Physical Data • Boiling Point (F) 1atm, deg f(c) 80 (82) Specific Gravity (h20) .786 • Vapor Pressure 33 Percent Volatile by volumeca100 • Vapor Density (air)2.07 Evaporation Rate2.6 • Solubility in WaterComplete • Appearance and OdorClear, colorless liquid with alcohol odor

18. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data • States the temperature at which the chemical will ignite • Gives the methods for putting out a fire caused by this chemical • Lists precautions to take to prevent fire/explosion • Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data • Flash Point (method used)Flammable Limits LEL UEL • 53 (closed cap) % by volume 2.0 12.0 • Extinguishing Media • Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, alcohol foam • Special fire fighting procedures • Use water spray to cool exposed containers • Use fine mist to smother fire and/or disperse vapors • Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards • Moderate explosion hazard when material is exposed to heat or flames. OSHA class 1B flammable liquid

19. Health Hazard Information • States the maximum exposure that the body can take • Describes the effects of overexposure • Lists first aid procedures • Section V - Health Hazard Data • Threshold Limit Value • 400ppm • Effects of overexposure • Mild irritation to the nose and throat. Eye contact will cause irritation and burning • sensations. Prolonged exposure above TLV will cause carcosis, nausea, and headaches Emergency and First Aid Procedures • Eye contact - flush with water for 15 minutes and get medical help. Skin contact - • remove contaminated clothing and flush with water. Inhalation - move to fresh air. • Ingestion - drink water and get prompt medical help.

20. Reactivity Data • States whether the chemical is stable or unstable • Lists chemicals which cause harmful reactions • Lists the conditions which should be avoided during handling or storage • States whether or not the chemical will decompose into a hazardous material • Section VI - Reactivity Data • Stability Unstable Conditions to avoid • Stable X • Incompatibility (materials to avoid) • Acetaldehyde, Ethylene Oxide and Strong Oxidizing Agents • Hazardous Decomposition Products • Carbon Monoxide • Hazardous Polymerization May Occur Conditions to avoid: Do not use aluminum containers • Will Not Occur X

21. Spill or Leak Procedures • States the steps to be taken in case of a leak or spill • States how to dispose of waste properly • States whether or not the chemical presents an environmental hazard • Section VII - Spill or Leak Procedures • Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled • Absorb small spills with paper towels. Contain large spills, collect or absorb them with vermiculite, spill absorbent or sand. Use water spray to dilute and flush • Waste Disposal Method • Do not flush to water courses or to sewer or enclosed area.
