Editor's Notes
- The world is ever changing. Current standards need to be followed, but new research and experience broaden our knowledge, changes in may become necessary and appropriate. Be advised to check and verify the most current information available. The author attempts to present the most current standards at the time of publication but standards changes with time. Neither the publisher nor the author assumes any liability for any injury and/or damage to persons or property arising from this presentation. This program can be modified or used in any form for teaching purposes. You may not redistribute or sell this in any way. This program is believed to meet or exceeds all known United States regulations and standards known to the author. This program is based upon standards and recommendations of OSHA, NFPA, DOT, CDC, NIOSH, and EMS training standards where applicable.
- Many states municipal and volunteer are not covered by OSHA Standards but tort law may make them applicable. The instructor should review this with their state for Federal OSHA office. Also many states may have their own OSHA counterpart but they must meet or exceed the standards set by OSHA. When they set their won standards they probably will change the code numbers. You can contact your state equivalent of OSHA and they can provide copies of their regulations.
- Many Public Safety Agencies are exempt from OSHA requirements. They may need to have a written program based on other requirements such as NFPA Standards, insurance requirements, or tort law.
- The employer must make SDS’s readily available to all it’s staff in English. They also can be supplied in foreign language's if they have foreign language staff. They can either be in a hard copy format or electronically. Included with this program is an SDS for Mineral Spirits that can be used as an example for the student to use. It has been modified to follow along with this presentation. The students should be handed a hard copy of one that you choose to follow along with and to make notes on. SDS’s were formerly called Material Safety Data Sheets.
- 42 U.S.C. §11001 et seq. (1986) Authorized by Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), the Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) was enacted by Congress as the national legislation on community safety. This law is designed to help local communities protect public health, safety, and the environment from chemical hazards. To implement EPCRA, Congress requires each state to appoint a State Emergency Response Commission (SERC). The SERCs are required to divide their states into Emergency Planning Districts and to name a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) for each district. Broad representation by fire fighters, health officials, government and media representatives, community groups, industrial facilities, and emergency managers ensures that all necessary elements of the planning process are represented.
