Hazard Communications
Training
This standard was written to ensure that
employees who work with hazardous
chemicals have the information they need to
work with them safely
3. 5/30/2022 3
There are Three components
to the Hazard Communication
Standard
Labeling
MSDSs and Inventories
Training
5. 5/30/2022 5
All Labels must contain the
following information:
Name of the Product
Hazards Associated with the Product
Name and address of the Manufacturer
6. 5/30/2022 6
Transferring Materials
When you transfer a chemical to a smaller
or different container, you must use the
National Fire Protection Association's
(NFPA’s) labeling strategy.

Inventory of Hazardous
Chemicals
NSHC is responsible for maintaining an
up-to-date chemical inventory and the
corresponding material safety data sheets
(MSDSs) for all hazardous chemicals
14. 5/30/2022 14
What is a MSDS?
A Material Safety Data Sheet, or MSDS, is
an information sheet which tells you all you
need to know to work with a chemical
safely
15. 5/30/2022 15
What Information does an
MSDS give you?
Name of the Chemical
Manufacturer
Chemical Components
Hazards Associated with the product
16. 5/30/2022 16
Physical Characteristics
First Aid and Emergency Response
Spill and Leak Handling
Reactivity
Disposal Practices
17. 5/30/2022 17
Supervisors Responsibility
At NSHC it is the area supervisors
responsibility to ensure that MSDS and
inventories are immediately available to
employees, and that they are updated when
necessary
18. 5/30/2022 18
Locations of MSDS Sheets
Within NSHC, MSDSs are located at the
following locations:
– Within each department ,clinic
- In the Safety Office
- On the NSHC store
19. 5/30/2022 19
Who Supplies MSDSs to
Product Users
All manufacturers of hazardous chemicals
are required to provide one of these sheets
for all the products which the sell.
MSDSs sheets are also available in
electronic format through the internet or
intranet
21. 5/30/2022 21
Training
Subcontractor HSE has the responsibility for the
training of all workers on the hazards associated
with the products or chemicals which they may
use, and how to use these products safely. This is
done before any employee reports to their work
assignment, and at the safety fair on an annually
22. 5/30/2022 22
Exposure
Did you know that no matter where you
work within NSHC, you could be exposed
to hazardous chemicals? You or your
Department may not have anything
hazardous, but other Departments or
locations may!!
23. 5/30/2022 23
Know The Entry Points
What are four ways that chemicals can get
into your body?
27. 5/30/2022 27
Injection
You can also be injected with a chemical
agent via a needle stick, or by being
punctured with any other type of “sharp”
which has been contaminated.
29. 5/30/2022 29
Engineering Controls
In other words this means methods of control
which modify the source or reduce the
amount of contaminant released into the
work environment
30. 5/30/2022 30
Administrative Controls
The second preference, are methods of
controlling employee exposure by job
rotation, work assignments, time periods
away from the hazard, or training the
specific work practices designed to reduce
the exposure
34. 5/30/2022 Norton Sound Health Corporation 34
Hazardous waste material removal.
Waste handled by trained personals only
Separate chemical skip to be provided at site
for collecting hazardous waste.
and disposed as per RC regulations &
authorized agency's only.
36. 5/30/2022 36
Acute Exposure
An acute exposure is one which is a single
exposure and the effects are immediate.
Effects usually range from mild irritation to
death. The general rule is if it doesn’t kill
you, you will recover completely.
37. 5/30/2022 37
Chronic Exposure
A chronic exposure is persistent, prolonged
and repeated. If you are exposed in the
manner, usually, by the time you recognize
the symptoms of an adverse effect, it is too
late. YOU already have some type of
permanent systemic damage.
38. 5/30/2022 38
Evaluation
Now it is time to find out how much you’ve
learned. If you are ready then it is time to
take the test. If not you can go back an
