1
Hazard Communication29 CFR 1910.1200
Right-To-Know12 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 Controls1. Engineering Controls – substitution,
elimination, ventilation, enclosure
2. Administrative Controls – work practices and employee rotation
3. 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
24
Information Required on SDS
• 16 sections – click on this link for the review of the 16 sections, then go to on-line database and show a sample, review the 16 sections
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
