- 2. Hazard Communication OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 And NYS Right to Know Law
- 3. Introduction • The federalHazard Communication Standard says that you have a “Right-To-Know” what hazards you face on the job and how to protect yourself against those hazards. That’s your Right-To-Know!
- 4. Purpose • The standardwas developed to make sure that everyone who works with any hazardous chemical is aware of the hazards and the necessary precautions.
- 5. District Right toKnow Officer is David Crisafulli for Oswego and Alicia Koster for Mexico
- 6. To ensure thatemployers and employees know about work hazards and how to protect themselves so that the incidence of illnesses and injuries due to hazardous chemicals is reduced. Hazard Container Material Safety Communication Labeling Data Sheet Program Program MSDS Label
- 7. The Standard appliesto • Chemical Manufacturers – Determine Hazards (Physical and Health) • Employers – Provide Info. to employees • Employees – Awareness
- 8. Employees • Must usetheir Right-to-Know knowledge to stay safe and healthy on the job.
- 9. Chemical Hazards • Health • Physical
- 10. Health Hazards • AcuteHealth Problems – symptoms show up immediately after exposure • Chronic Health Problems – problems develop gradually from prolonged or repeated exposure
- 11. Physical Hazards • Suddenrelease of pressure (explosion) • Flammable (catches fire easily) • Reactive (unstable chemicals)
- 12. Routes of Entry • Inhalation • Ingestion • Injection • Skin Contact or Absorption
- 13. 4 Main Areasof Haz Com • Labeling • Material Safety Data Sheets • Written Program • Education and Training
- 14. • WHAT ITIS - WHY IT CAN BE DANGEROUS • WHAT KIND OF HAZARD • SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • WHAT DEGREE OF HAZARD – CAUTION 0 to 1 – WARNING 2 – DANGER 3 to 4 • PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIP. - PPE • BASIC FIRST AID
- 15. Other Labeling • Blue - Health • Red – Flammability • Yellow – Reactivity • White – Protective Equipment and Other • Scale 0-4 – 0 = no danger – 4 = highest danger
- 16. New Labeling SystemEffective 2013 Phasing in completed by 2015
- 17. • Before youmove, handle or open a chemical container, READ THE LABEL and follow the instructions.
- 19. Material Safety DataSheets New Name Safety Data Sheets • Detailed information sheet prepared by manufacturer or importer • Available for every hazardous chemical or substance • Contains information that: – Enables you to prepare for safe day-to-day use – Enables you to respond in emergencies
- 20. Contents of MSDS •Chemical name •Health hazard data • Company information • Reactivity data • Hazardous ingredients • Special precautions –Safe handling practices • Physical characteristics –PPE –What to do in case of • Fire and explosion data spills or leaks
- 21. HAZCOM 1994 HAZCOM 2012 • Requires employee • Clarifies that the labels on information and training shipped containers and before a worker is exposed to workplace labels the hazardous chemicals in the must be explained, as well as workplace, and whenever the SDS format. hazard changes • Workers will have to be trained on the new label and SDS formats before all the provisions of the rule are effective.
- 22. 1. Identification ofthe substance 10. Stability and reactivity or mixture and of the supplier 11. Toxicological 2. Hazards identification 12. Ecological information (non mandatory) 3. Composition/information on ingredients Substance/Mixture 13. Disposal considerations (non mandatory) 4. First aid measures 14. Transport information (non mandatory) 5. Firefighting measures 15. Regulatory information 6. Accidental release measures (non mandatory) 7. Handling and storage 16. Other information including information on preparation and revision of the SDS 8. Exposure controls/personal Protection 9. Physical and chemical properties
- 23. Location of MSDS •In your work area – Your supervisor will inform you of the specific location – District Office • Online with MSDSonline.com
- 25. Written Program • TheSchool District must have a written Hazard Communication Program – Inform employees about standard – Information and training on the Hazard Communication program – Must be available to all employees
- 26. Education & Training •The regulation requires that the employer provide employees with education and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of initial assignment, and whenever a new chemical hazard is introduced into the work area.
- 27. Summary • You havea right to know about the chemical hazards in your workplace. • And you have a duty to use that right to learn about and protect yourself from those hazards.
- 29. Why are wehere? • OSHA Blood Borne Pathogen Standard • The more you know, the better you will perform in real situations!
- 30. Who is coveredby the standard? • All employees who could be “reasonably anticipated”, as the result of performing their job duties, to face contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials • “Good Samaritan” acts such as assisting a co-worker with a nosebleed would not be considered occupational exposure
- 31. At Risk Staff: • Nursing Staff • Athletic Trainer • Cleaners • Custodial Workers, • Maintenance Worker I • Bus Drivers, Bus Attendants, Bus Aides • Special Education Teacher, Assistant and Aide as dependent on tasks or procedures performed
- 32. How does exposureoccur? • Most common: needlesticks • Cuts from other contaminated sharps (scalpels, broken glass, etc.) • Contact of mucous membranes (for example; the eyes, nose, mouth) or broken (cut or abraded) skin with contaminated blood
- 33. Exposure Control Plan •Identifies jobs and tasks where occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material occurs • Describes how the employer will: – Use engineering and work practice controls – Ensure use of Personal Protective Equipment – Provide training – Provide medical surveillance – Provide Hepatitis B (HBV) vaccinations – Use signs and labels
- 34. Exposure Control Plan •Written plan required • Plan must be reviewed at least annually to reflect changes in: – Tasks, procedures, or assignments which affect exposure – Technology that will eliminate or reduce exposure • Annual review must document employer’s consideration and implementation of safer medical devices • Must solicit input from potentially exposed employees in the identification, evaluation, and selection of engineering and work practice controls • Plan must be accessible to employees
- 35. What is a BloodBorne Pathogen? Microorganisms that are present in the blood that can cause disease in humans
- 36. Common Blood BornePathogens • Hepatitis B (HBV) • Hepatitis C (HCV) • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- 37. Potentially Infectious Bodily Fluids • Blood • Saliva • Vomit • Skin Tissue, Cell • Urine Cultures • Semen or Vaginal • Any other bodily Secretions fluid • Chewing Tobacco Juice
- 38. Transmission Potential • Contactwith another person’s blood or bodily fluid that may contain blood • Mucous membranes: eyes, mouth, nose • Non-intact skin • Contaminated sharps/needles

- 46. Signs and Labels •Labels must include the universal biohazard symbol, and the term “Biohazard” must be attached to: – Containers of regulated biohazard waste – Refrigerators or freezers containing blood or OPIM – Containers used to store, transport, or ship blood or OPIM
- 47. Exposure Incident • Aspecific incident of contact with potentially infectious bodily fluid • If there are no infiltrations of mucous membranes or open skin surfaces, it is not considered an occupational exposure • Report all accidents involving blood or bodily fluids • Post-exposure medical evaluations are offered
- 48. Post-Exposure Evaluation • Confidentialmedical evaluation • Document route of exposure • Protect identity of staff or student • Identify source individual • Provide results to exposed employee • Hep B vaccine may be offered post exposure
