  1. OSHA Hazard Communication for All Philadelphia Employees

  2. Objectives • Describe the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard • Identify the hazardous chemicals are located at your site • Explain what a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is and how to interpret it • Explain how to determine the presence or release of hazardous chemicals in the work area • Interpret the chemical labels • Describe where the Hazard Communication Written Program is located at your site

  3. The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard requires the following: • Employers must have a written program to ensure employee safety and health. • Employer must ensure all chemicals are properly labeled. • Employer must make all MSDSs available to employees. • Employer must train employees on proper self-protection techniques and ensure employees have knowledge of all chemicals within their facility.

  4. Chemicals Used at this Facility Each site has chemicals which can be hazardous. • Review the specific chemicals at your site. • They are on the flip chart or the handout we will pass around.

  5. Process for Detecting a Chemical Leak Each site has a process for detecting a chemical leak. • Review your site’s process.

  6. Hazard Materials Information System (HMIS) Hazardous Materials Information System (HMIS): • Conveys a chemical’s identity by chemical or common names • Uses code numbers or other descriptive terms to clearly identify the material for hazard information purposes

  7. HMIS Labeling HMIS Categories: • Health – blue • Flammability – red • Reactivity – yellow • Protective equipment – white

  8. HMIS Labeling (cont) Diesel Fuel • The number in the Health Hazard (blue) section should be 1.

  9. HMIS Labeling (cont) Diesel Fuel • The number in the Flammability (red) Hazard section should be 2.

  10. HMIS Labeling (cont) Diesel Fuel • The number in the Physical Hazard (orange) section should be 0.

  11. HMIS Labeling (cont) Diesel Fuel • The PPE section of the HMIS Label is coded for the recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) to be worn. • Recommended that safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing that covers the arms be worn.

  12. Chemical Labeling • Labeling is another way to find out what hazards a chemical might pose. • Your Program Administrator and Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that each chemical container is labeled, tagged, or marked with the following: • Identity of the chemical • Appropriate hazard warnings • Name and address of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party • Requirements of any applicable substance-specific health standard regulated by OSHA NOTE: Always read the label before beginning any job that involves the use of chemicals.

  13. Chemical Labeling (cont) Labels • Should be visible and easy to read. • Contact your Supervisor or Program Administrator if you: • Notice any missing, dirty, or illegible label(s), notify your Supervisor or the Program Administrator so that the label(s) can be replaced • Have any questions about information included or not included on a label, ask your Supervisor  • Labeling should be in English and should be prominently displayed on containers.

  14. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) MSDSs (information sheets): • Describe the properties of chemicals and hazards associated with their use • Provide information from chemical manufacturers and distributors who are responsible for determining the hazards associated with their products • When a manufacturer or distributor discovers new information about a substance, they are required by law to update their MSDSs. • When a new chemical is introduced at your facility, your Program Administrator will update the list of hazardous chemicals online and at the same time, request an MSDS.

  15. MSDS (cont) • The Program Administrator is responsible for: • Reviewing incoming MSDSs for new or significant health and safety information • Communicating any new information to affected employees • 3E Company: • Maintains electronic MSDSs copies for hazardous chemicals to which employees are exposed or are potentially exposed • Accessed by: • WM Intranet • Toll-free telephone number • FAX machine • If an MSDS is not available, employees can contact a Supervisor or the Program Administrator.
