Title: Note To Management


1
Note To Management
  • This training program is designed to inform
    management of the requirements of the Hazard
    Communication Program.
  • This training is not designed to satisfy the
    Requirements of the Hazard Communication
    Standard.
  • An On-Site evaluation and a customized program
    must be written specific to your work environment
    in order to satisfy the requirements of the
    Standard. This program merely informs management
    of what customization needs to take place.
  • FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT THE MANAGEMENT
    HOTLINE.

Hazard Communication Program
  • Hazard Communication is a term used to identify
    OSHA regulations regarding the safe use of
    chemicals and hazardous materials or products in
    the work place.
  • Employers must develop and implement a Hazard
    Communication Program in writing when employees
    use or are exposed to chemicals and hazardous
    materials or products in the work place.
  • The written program will identify responsible
    individuals for each of the following elements
    along with procedures describing how the elements
    are accomplished or carried out work place.

3
Hazard Communication Program
  • Assignment of Responsibility
  • Prior to developing a Hazard Communication
    Program, responsibility for each element for the
    program must be assigned or designated. Often, a
    single individual is responsible for the overall
    program while others are responsible for
    different elements of the program.

4
Hazard Communication Program
  • Chemical Inventory
  • The employer must compile a list of all chemicals
    and hazardous materials or products in the work
    place.
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
  • A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be
    acquired for each chemical and hazardous material
    or product on the chemical inventory list.
  • Exception Household chemicals and products
    purchased through retail outlets in household
    quantities to be used for the intended purpose of
    the chemical or product.

5
Hazard Communication Program
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be
    reviewed and a hazard assessment and
    determination made each time a new chemical or
    product is introduced into the work place.

6
Hazard Communication Program
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be made
    available to employees working with or exposed to
    chemicals or hazardous materials or products at
    all times and maintained in a manner that makes
    them easily accessible.

7
Hazard Communication Program
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be kept
    and maintained for at least 30 years beyond the
    last known use or exposure to a chemical or
    hazardous material or product.
  • Note Discontinued MSDS should be kept separate
    from active MSDS

8
Hazard Communication Program
  • Hazard Assessment and Determination
  • Employers must develop procedures to ensure and
    require that hazard assessments and
    determinations for each chemical and hazardous
    material or product in the work place are
    conducted.

9
Hazard Communication Program
  • To make a hazard assessment and determination,
    the employer must review each Material Safety
    Data Sheet to identify the following
  • Physical and health hazards
  • Personal protective equipment requirements
  • Ventilation requirements
  • Spill, clean up, and disposal information
  • Special instructions, work practices, or
    precautions

10
Hazard Communication Program
  • Upon reviewing the Material Safety Data Sheets
    (MSDS), the employer must take into consideration
    how, where, or in what processes the product or
    chemical will be used in the work place.
    Consideration must be given to the following
  • Heating the chemical or product
  • Spraying the chemical or product
  • Splashing of the chemical or product
  • Creating airborne dust from the chemical or
    product
  • Using the chemical or product in small enclosed
    areas or without proper ventilation

11
Hazard Communication Program
  • Container Labeling
  • Employers must develop procedures to ensure and
    require all original containers of chemicals and
    hazardous materials or products be labeled with
    the original label if possible.

12
Hazard Communication Program
  • When chemicals or hazardous materials or products
    are transferred from the original container to
    smaller or secondary containers, employers must
    develop a procedure to ensure and require that
    all secondary containers are labeled with at
    least the following information
  • Product Name
  • Hazard Warnings

Note Labels on secondary containers can be in
handwriting as long as legible
Two labels for same container
13
Hazard Communication Program
  • Common hazard warnings include
  • Flammable
  • Combustible
  • Toxic
  • Poison
  • Corrosive
  • Irritant

Hazard Communication Program
  • Employee Training and Information
  • Employers must develop procedures to ensure and
    require that employees are trained prior to
    initial assignment (upon hiring) and periodically
    thereafter (at least annually) on the the
    following
  • Contents of the Hazard Communication Program
  • Location and content of Material Safety Data
    Sheets
  • Hazards associated with chemicals in the work
    place
  • Effects of exposure to chemicals in the work
    place
  • Safe work practices required with chemicals
  • Personal protective equipment requirements
  • Spill, clean up, and disposal information

16
Hazard Communication Program
  • Non Routine Tasks
  • Employers must develop procedures to ensure and
    require that employees assigned to non routine
    jobs or tasks where new or unfamiliar chemicals
    or hazardous material or products are used
    receive training about the hazards, precautions,
    safe work practices, and personal protective
    equipment requirements of the unfamiliar
    chemicals or hazardous materials or products.

17
Hazard Communication Program
  • Contractor Information
  • Employers must develop procedures to ensure and
    require that information is exchanged and made
    available to and from contractors that perform
    work or in the work place.
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be
    acquired from contractors for chemicals or
    hazardous materials or products they bring into
    the work place.
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be made
    available to contractors with regard to chemicals
    or hazardous materials or products in the work
    place that they may encounter or be exposed to
    while performing the contract operations.
