  1. Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 Michigan Part 92

  2. As an employee, you have a Rightto Know... How can it hurt me? (hazards) With this knowledge, employers & employees can: What is this stuff? (identity) • Reduce exposures Should I have put gloves on? (protective measures) • Substitute less hazardous materials • Proper work practices

  3. HazCom Program ( 5 Elements of the Program: 1. Chemical list (hazardous materials) 2. Written safety program 3. Use Labels (with warnings) 4. Access to MSDS’s 5. Employee safety training

  4. Purpose of Haz Com • Ensure info about hazardous chemicals & protection measures is available to employees

  5. Producers & importers determine hazards of their products. Then they pass it on to employers that purchase chemicals (solvents, glues, paints, acids, bases). This information is then passed on to the employees via MSDS (material safety data sheets).

  6. Some Chemicals on haz com list (acids, bases, oxides, carcinogens) AMINOETHANOL, 2-AMINO-2-METHYLANTHRAQUINONE, 1-AMINO-5-(5-NITRO-2-FURYL)- -1,3,4-THIADIADIAZOLE, 2-AMINOPYRIDINE, 2-AMINO-1,2,4-TRIAZOLE, 3-AMITROLEAMMONIAAMMONIUM CHLORIDE FUMEAMMONIUM PERFLUOROOCTANOATEAMMONIUM SULFAMATEAMOSITEAMYL ACETATE, N-AMYL ACETATE, SEC-ANILINE & HOMOLOGUESANISIDINE (O-,P-ISOMERS)ANISIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE, O-ANTIMONY & COMPOUNDS, AS SBANTIMONY TRIOXIDE, HANDLING AND USE, AS SBANTIMONY TRIOXIDE, PRODUCTIONANTUARAMITEARGONARSENIC & SOLUBLE COMPOUNDS, AS ASARSENIC TRIOXIDE PRODUCTIONARSINEASBESTOS, AMOSITEASBESTOS, CHRYSOTILEASBESTOS, CROCIDOLITEASBESTOS, OTHER FORMSASPHALT (PETROLEUM) FUMESATRAZINE • ACETALDEHYDEACETAMIDEACETIC ACIDACETIC ANHYDRIDEACETONEACETONItr ILEACETYLAMINOFLUORENE, 2-ACETYLENEACETYLENE DICHLORIDEACETYLENE TETRABROMIDEACETYLSALICYLIC ACID (ASPIRIN)ACROLEINACRYLAMIDEACRYLIC ACIDACRYLONITRILEACTINOMYCIN DADRIAMYCINAFLATOXINSALDRINALLYL ALCOHOLALLYL CHLORIDEALLYL GLYCIDYL ETHER (AGE)ALLYL PROPYL DISULFIDEALUMINAALUMINUM, METAL DUST, AS ALALUMINUM, PYRO POWDERS, AS ALALUMINUM, SOLUBLE SALTS, AS ALALUMINUM, WELDING FUMES, AS ALALUMINUM, ALKYLS, NOT OTHERWISECLASSIFIED, AS AL ALUMINUM OXIDE, AS ALAMINOANTHRAQUINONE (AAQ), AMINOAZOTOLUENE, O-AMINOBIPHENYL, 4-

  7. All forms of chemicals are covered • Liquids - containers or pipes • Solids • Gases • Fumes - exhaust, welding • Dusts • Mists

  8. Not Included (Q.11) • Many items are not included (b)(5): • Pesticides • Food, alcohol • Tobacco • Drugs • Cosmetics • Others

  9. Bleach Manufacturers’ Labels (Q.4) • Chemical Identity 2. Hazard warning • flammable • causes lung damage 3. Name & address of manufacturer or distributor Chemicals taken out of original container must be relabeled

  10. MSDS • Sent by manufacturer of chemical! • First time chemical is shipped • When MSDS is updated with new & significant information

  11. How do you find this at work? • MSDS posting sign • MSDS’s must be available in your work area

  12. How do you find this at work? • You should be trained (Q.12) • New hire • New hazard Ask your supervisor

  13. Reading a MSDS • 1. Chemical product & Company ID • 2. Composition & Hazard Ingredients • 3. Physical Characteristics • 4. Fire Hazard • 5. Reactivity • 6. Health Hazard • 7. Safe Handling • 8. Control Methods

  14. Chemical Product and Company ID (see WD-40) • Name of Chemical • Contact Information • Emergency Contact • Date Prepared • Name of Preparer

  15. Composition and Hazard Ingredients • Hazard Ingredients • Hazardous Components >1% • Carcinogen >0.1% • What is one hazardous ingredient? • PEL • Permissible Exposure Limits • Look for carbon dioxide PEL on MSDS

  16. Physical Characteristics • Appearance and Odor (light amber) • Boiling Point (323 °F) • Vapor Pressure • Specific Gravity • Melting Point

  17. Fire Hazard • Flash Point • Extinguishing Media • LFL • UFL • Special Fire Fighting Methods

  18. NFPA Label* *National Fire Protection Association

  19. Numbering System

  20. Reactivity Data • Stability – (stable or nonstable?) • Conditions to Avoid (N/A)

  21. Health Hazards • Routes of Entry • Ingestion • Inhalation • Injection • Absorption

  22. Health Hazards • Routes of Entry – which routes of entry pertain to WD40 exposure? • Health Hazards • Acute • Chronic • Signs and Symptoms • Emergency and First Aid Procedures

  23. Health Hazards • Carcinogen- causes or is capable of causing cancer in humans. (asbestos, tobacco smoke, HPV) • Mutagen- induces genetic changes in DNA of chromosomes. (UV, nitrous acid) • Teratogen- causes physical (birth) defects in developing embryo or fetus. (thalidomide, ethanol) • Is WD40 a suspected carcinogen?

  24. Safe Handling • Spill Procedures • Waste Disposal • Storage • What should you do with a leaking aerosol can?

  25. Emergency Checklist • Self Protection (priority) • Eyewash • Shower • Set up Barricade • Consult MSDS • Report • Ext. #### (What is it in your facility?) • 911

  26. Control Measures (What is protecting you from chemicals?) • Respiratory Protection • Ventilation • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
