- 1. Hazardous Materials Communication Program (HazCom) (Employee Right-to-Know)
- 2. Terms To Remember • HAZCHEM- ( hazardous chemicals) is a warning plate system used in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, India and the United Kingdom for vehicles transporting hazardous substances, and on storage facilities.
- 3. Terms To Remember • HAZMAT- Certain dangerous goods that pose risks even when not being transported are known as hazardous materials. Example : hazardous waste which is waste that has substantial or potential threats to public health or the environment.
- 4. Terms To Remember • CAS- Chemical Abstracts Service • GHS-Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. It is a system of hazard communication for chemical hazards. GHS was developed by a United Nations (UN) international team of hazard communication experts.
- 5. Background
- 6. History • Issued by OSHA November 25, 1983.
- 7. What Makes a Substance Hazardous ? • A material is considered hazardous if it exhibits any of the following characteristics: Toxicity Reactivity Ignitability Corrosivity Bioaccummulative
- 8. Categories • Acids • Adhesives • Alkalies/Bases/Caustics • Cleaning compounds • Compressed gases • Corrosion preventive compounds
- 9. Categories • Detergents/Soaps • Greases • Hydraulic fluids • Solvents (hydrocarbons) • Lubricants/oils • Paints
- 10. Categories • Water treatment chemicals • Oxidizers • Fuels • Heavy metals • Batteries • Pesticides
- 11. Materials NOT Included • Pharmaceutical supplies • Medical wastes & infectious materials • Bulk fuels • Radioactive materials • Consumer products • Food and food additives
- 12. Scope • The hazardous materials user-- – Must be familiar with hazards & precautions – Must be familiar with MSDSs – Must use and understand hazardous materials labels
- 14. Original Container Labels • Every container of hazardous materials must be labeled • Label requirements-- – Identity of material or chemical – Name & address of manufacturer or responsible party – Appropriate hazard warning – Target organ
- 15. Secondary Containers • If hazardous material is dispensed into an unmarked container, the container must be labeled with the following information: – Identity of material or chemical – Appropriate hazard warning
- 16. Wallet Card •Quick reference guide •Icon depiction of PPE •Letters refer to groups of needed PPE
- 17. • Color code identifies the hazard Blue = Health Hazard Red = Flammability Yellow = Reactivity White = Special Hazard Information • Numerical rating identifies severity 0 - no hazard, 4 - most severe hazard Hazardous Material Information Guide (HMIG)
- 18. HMIG Label Sulfur Dioxide 3 0 0 K 3 0 0 K Sulfur Dioxide Rhone-Poulenc Basic Chemicals Co. July 4, 2000
- 19. Other Warning Systems • National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704M diamond Note: NFPA and DOT labels may NOT be used as stand-alone labeling systems, but may be used in conjunction with other labeling systems • Department of Transportation (DOT) Labels
- 20. NFPA Label • Designed for emergency personnel • Does not provide specific chemical names or quantities
- 21. DOT Warning System • Numbers • Labels • Symbols, and • Classes to identify the hazardous material and its hazardous characteristics System is used for shipping of hazardous materials DOT uses a system of
- 22. DOT Classes •Class 1 - Explosive •Class 2 - Gases •Class 3 - Flammable liquids •Class 4 - Flammable solids •Class 5 - Oxidizers •Class 6 - Poisons •Class 7 - Radioactive •Class 8 - Corrosives •Class 9 - Miscellaneous
- 28. HAZCHEM CODE
- 29. HAZCHEM CHART
- 30. HAZMAT SUIT
- 31. GHS SYMBOLS
- 32. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- 33. MSDS • Technical bulletins containing information about the hazardous material • Contain at a minimum the following information: – Identity of material – Hazardous ingredients – Physical and chemical characteristics
- 34. MSDS Information – Physical hazards (fire, explosion, reactivity) – Health hazards (routes of entry, exposure limits, and cancer potential) – Precautions for safe handling & use – Emergency first aid procedures – MSDS preparation date – Name, address & phone number of chemical manufacturer, importer, employer who can provide additional information
- 35. MSDS Requirements • Maintained for every item of hazardous material in the work area • Readily accessible to personnel who use hazardous materials • Supervisors provide instruction in understanding and use • All personnel trained on dangers and precautions of hazardous materials prior to use
- 36. Responsibilities
- 37. PERMIT ISSUER • Ensure PPE available for hazardous material operations and personnel trained on use • Make personnel available to receive hazardous material training • Ensure use of approved storage containers
- 38. Department Incharge • Provide control and management of the hazardous materials • Maintain MSDS • Ensure personnel are trained • Ensure hazardous materials are labeled when dispensed into other containers
- 39. All Staff • Properly use and handle hazardous materials • Report spills • Label hazardous materials when dispensed into other containers
- 41. General Requirements • Handle incompatible materials in separate compartments to prevent mixing • Never mix incompatible materials in the same collection containers • Avoid breathing vapors or dust from hazardous materials • Avoid contact with eyes and skin
- 42. General Requirements • Do not smoke, eat, or drink where hazardous materials are used • Use appropriate PPE
- 44. Storage Materials normally thought to be safe may become hazardous under certain conditions. When containers leak or are heated, chemical reactions may result, leading to fire, explosion, or release of toxic reaction products.
- 45. Determining Storage Requirements • Is the hazardous material compatible with other chemicals? • What is the hazard classification? – Oxidizer, acid, flammable, base, etc. • Any special storage requirements on MSDS? • What is the flash point of the material?
- 46. Storage Requirements • Hazardous materials storage locations must be posted with caution signs • Ensure lockers and cabinets used for in-use flammable storage labeled
- 47. Storage Requirements • Storage areas must be properly marked • Do not transfer material to any container used for a different material – Some materials might be incompatible! • Store incompatible materials in separate compartments to prevent mixing if spilled
- 48. Storage Requirements • Store hazardous materials in compatible containers – No corrosives in metal drums! • Stack containers so as to avoid crushing lower containers, or access difficulty • Do not eat, smoke, or drink in storage locations
- 49. Storage Requirements • No open flames or other ignitions sources in storage areas • Use only explosion-proof devices in potentially explosive environments • Maintain explosion-proof fixtures in proper condition • Seal & protect containers against physical damage
- 50. Storage Requirements • Only store hazardous materials in areas designated for hazardous materials storage
- 51. Storage Requirements • Only store hazardous materials in areas designated for hazardous materials storage
- 52. IDENTIFYING HAZARDS Knowledge of the Hazards of various substance and an understanding of Physical Properties can be the difference between life and death.
- 53. HAZARD COMMUNICATION • This standard was created for you, because you have a “Right to Know” about hazardous materials you work with. • Do your part and learn all you can about hazardous materials in your work areas. • You know the sources of information- NOW USE THEM!
