1 Hazard Communication & Hazardous Material Management New Employee Training Mar 2016 Peter Swerzenski / Eddie Pena SAISD Environmental What we will cover: Introduction - SAISD HazCom Program - Texas Hazard Communication Act - Labels - SDSs - Pictograms Complete quiz as you go! What we will cover (continued): Work Area Locations (WCL) - Highly Hazardous Chemicals - > 55 gal. or > 500 lbs. Chemical Categories Use of Protective Equipment / First Aid Handling, Cleanup, Disposal Complete quiz as you go! Chemical Management Let s See What We Know! The use of hazardous chemicals at SAISD is regulated by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. NO We are governed by the Texas Hazard Communication Act which has adopted the OSHA GHS (global harmonized system) for SDS and labels. The Texas Hazard Communication Act (THCA) requires employers to develop a list of all hazardous chemicals used or stored in the workplace. NO THCA requires a list of those hazardous chemicals at a worksite in quantities greater than 55 gallons or 500 lbs. SDS means So Darn Smart. NO - Safety Data Sheet. It was known as an MSDS material safety data sheet prior to June 1, 2015 and GHS. The THCA requires employers to train all employees annually. NO Employees must be trained (at least) initially and every time there is a new hazard is introduced. Employees exposed to hazardous chemicals shall have ready access to a current SDS on that chemical. YES This is a right under the THCA. The SDS must be posted where the product is available. NO THCA requires the SDS be made available upon request (normally within the work shift or 8 hours). You always need a label on a hazardous material. It depends.. SAISD Draft Hazard Communication Program Administrative stuff on how we give you information on hazardous chemicals you may be exposed to SAISD is using the Facilities Services Draft Hazard Communication Program Tells how we should handle hazardous chemicals in the workplace including: Labels, MSDS (SDS), training, employee rights and responsibilities March 1, 2015 Latest FS Working Draft 1

7 Propane - Forklifts Sulfuric acid is a corrosive, water reactive and an EPA highly hazardous chemical. Sulfuric acid is used in 24 of our older schools to treat the water in cooling towers as well as the electrolyte in lead-acid batteries. SAISD submits an annual Texas Tier 2 (Right-to-Know) report on these facilities (with sulfuric acid quantities above 500 pounds). Boiler chemicals range from mild irritants to strong corrosives (acids and bases) that can burn the skin and eyes. Lacquer Thinner: extremely flammable, can be absorbed through the skin, CNS depression, reproductive effects, etc. Conc. Cleaners / Disinfectants are often corrosive or severely irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Cements, sands, etc. contain silica: lung damage and can cause cancer. Portland cement: highly corrosive and causes cancer Freons / refrigerants: can displace the air, cause heart arrhythmia, and freezer burns Acetylene: Extremely flammable, may explode if heated, CNS depression, frostbite Oxygen: Frostbite, lung damage, may explode if heated, aids combustion Floor Stripper: Corrosive, Slip Hazard Propane: Extremely flammable, may explode if heated, frostbite, under pressure 7

8 Gasoline: extremely flammable, toxic, can be absorbed through the skin, irritating, contains cancer causing chemicals Diesel Fuel is toxic, contains cancer causing chemicals, combustible, vapors may cause fire. Auto Kleen MS alkali & corrosive Scale Kleen - acidic & corrosive Bleach - oxidizer & corrosive Control Exposure: Engineering, Administrative and PPE Engineering Controls Elimination / Substitution / Ventilation / Isolation Battery Electrolyte & Lead: Corrosive, Poison Administrative Controls Work practices, training, mentoring and enforcement Personal Protective Equipment Proper selection, donning, adjustment, wear, doffing and maintenance of PPE Personal Protective Equipment Least effective. Last line of defense! Eye Protection Chemical splash goggles for corrosives Safety glasses for particles not splash Gloves Rubber-like gloves (nitrile, neoprene, latex, rubber, PVC, etc) Some chemicals will penetrate or break down glove materials Proper donning, adjustment, wear, doffing and maintenance of PPE PPE Glove Selection and Use Gloves should fit properly Hands should be clean Clean fabric and leather gloves regularly Inspect gloves for damage and replace if necessary Gloves should be the right length Do not use fabric or leather gloves with liquid chemicals Contaminated Glove Removal Bare hands should not touch the outside of your gloves Grasp outside of one glove with other gloved hand and pull off Insert fingers of ungloved hand under cuff of glove on other hand Pull glove off hand by pulling on inside surface of the glove 8

Know materials working with (SDS or Label) Physical / Chemicals hazards Handling & Storage procedures Controls / PPE Stability and Reactivity 2. Product used and stored per Mfg. recommendation Spills 1. Familiar with type of materials 2. Assess hazards Amount involved Risks (flammable, vapor) 3. (Safely) stop & contain leakage PPE, ventilation, minimal exposure / time 4. Proper Disposal Waste Containers No liquid on ground / sewer / landfill / stream Wheatley MS Mechanical Room Managing (Hazardous) Chemicals Before Ordering Review current SDS (purchase or not?) Ordering Order / store smallest quantities practicable Check containers before accepting No chemicals from home Samples - SDS review; can return unused? Storage Proper storage segregate incompatibles, right temp, humidity levels, etc. 9
