  1. Hazard Communication 29 CFR 1910.1200 Right-To-Know 12 NYCRR Part 820 NYS PESH Training and Education

  2. Purpose • To protect employees from chemical hazards in the workplace NYS PESH Training and Education

  3. Hazardous Chemical • Any chemical which poses a physical or health hazard NYS PESH Training and Education

  4. Physical Hazards • Combustible liquids and flammables • Compressed gases • Explosives • Oxidizers • Pyrophorics • Reactives NYS PESH Training and Education

  5. Flammable vs Combustible • Flashpoint - Minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite • Flammable Liquid - Flashpoint <100°F (Gasoline) • Combustible Liquid – Flashpoint ≥100°F but <200°F (Diesel Fuel) NYS PESH Training and Education

  6. Compressed Gases • Oxygen • Acetylene • Chlorine • Nitrogen NYS PESH Training and Education

  7. Explosives/Blasting Agents NYS PESH Training and Education

  8. Oxidizers • Initiates or promotes combustion in other materials NYS PESH Training and Education

  9. Pyrophorics • Will ignite spontaneously in air at or below 130°F NYS PESH Training and Education

  10. Reactives • When stored or used improperly, some chemicals can react with themselves or other chemicals and release dangerous materials NYS PESH Training and Education

  11. Health Hazards • Evidence exists that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees NYS PESH Training and Education

  12. Acute vs Chronic • Acute – effects appear promptly after exposure, usually within 24 hours • Chronic – delayed effects following repeated, long duration exposure NYS PESH Training and Education

  13. Types of Health Effects • Carcinogens • Toxic agents • Reproductive toxins • Corrosivity • Irritants • Sensitizers NYS PESH Training and Education

  14. Toxicity • The ability to cause injury to a living system • Neurotoxin • Hepatotoxin • Nephrotoxin • Dermaltoxin • Cardiotoxin NYS PESH Training and Education

  15. Routes of Exposure • Inhalation • Ingestion • Absorption • Injection NYS PESH Training and Education

  16. Dose – Response Concept • The effect of a chemical depends upon the amount and duration of exposure • A substance could be helpful in small doses (drug remedy) but harmful in larger doses (poison) NYS PESH Training and Education

  17. Hierarchy of Controls • Engineering Controls – substitution, elimination, ventilation, enclosure • Administrative Controls – work practices and employee rotation • Personal Protective Equipment – Last resort because hazard still exists NYS PESH Training and Education

  18. How to Protect Employees • Implement Effective Program • Evaluate chemical hazards in workplace • Transmit information to employees NYS PESH Training and Education

  19. Hazard Communication Program NYS PESH Training and Education

  20. Develop Chemical List • Evaluate workplace and develop list of hazardous chemical products present • Also add to list those hazardous chemicals produced in workplace NYS PESH Training and Education

  21. Examples of Common Hazardous Chemical Products • Fuels • Asphalt • Paints • Cement • Pesticides • Road salt • Calcium chloride NYS PESH Training and Education

  22. Other Common Hazardous Chemical Products • Welding rods • Oils and greases • Hydraulic fluids • Coolants • Solvents and cleaners • Oxygen and acetylene • Battery electrolyte • Adhesives NYS PESH Training and Education

  23. Safety Data Sheets • Obtain SDS for all hazardous chemicals present or produced • Obtain from manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or on-line resources • Organize SDS so they may be located quickly • SDS must be readily accessible to employees during all shifts NYS PESH Training and Education

  24. Information Required on SDS • 16 sections – go to on-line database and show a sample, review the 16 sections NYS PESH Training and Education

  25. Labeling • New requirements for labeling – go to the video and show the requirement for labeling as well as the pictograms. NYS PESH Training and Education

  26. Hazard Communication Training • Must be provided upon initial assignment and when new chemical hazard is introduced NYS PESH Training and Education

  27. Training Must Include: • Summary of the standard and the program • Hazardous chemical properties and methods that can be used to detect their presence or release • Physical and health hazards associated with exposure • Procedures to protect against hazards • Spill and leak procedures • Location of MSDS and written program NYS PESH Training and Education

  28. Right To Know • NYS law requiring that employees be provided with annual training on toxic substances in the workplace • Must be provided during working hours, with no loss of pay, and in location convenient to worksite • Required to keep records of training NYS PESH Training and Education
