S,I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -2- HAZARD RECOGNITION This section provides general information on "Recognizing Hazards". This material will be helpful in understanding the terminology used in the "Hazard Communication'; section. S.I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -3- TYPES OF HAZARDS Hazard Types Hazards can be grouped into three general types: · Biological' · Physical · o Chemical Biological Biological hazards can occur from exposure to certain plants and animals, molds, Hazards fungi, bacteria, grain dusts, and inSects. Biological hazards can produce both V acute and chronic infections, allergic reactions, dermatitis, or parasitic infections. Physical Hazards Physical hazards inClude noiSe, radiationl and tempeiature extremes. These hazards can have immediate .or cumulative effects on the health, of employees. Chemical Hazards There are thousands of chemicals' we encounter in ail areas of our life. Many can be found in Products that are found in any home or business. Not all chemicals are considered hazardous. The degree of hazard that each chemical 3resents depends on: - (1) its level of toxicity, (2) the amount and duration of exposure to it, and (3) the individual's susceptibility. Dose Excessive amounts of a chemical can be dangerous. Small amounts may be considered dangerous if the chemicals are toxic. The hazard is in the level of V the "dose" experienced or the measured quantity of the exposure'to the chemical over time. Awareness that the chemical exists is not 'enough to determine that it is dangerous without more knowledge about the chemical, .the relative concentration and the length of exposure. For example; two aspirin taken every. four hours by adults generally produces desirable effects in most pebple. A person who took an entire bottle of one hundred aspirin at .once would become very ill due to the large dose.'Dose means "How much - How 10rig;'. Various agencies have developed exposure limits for'specific 'haza'i'dous sub- stances. These limits allow the use of hazardous substances Within the prescribed amounts. These levels also identify the point above which the exposure'becomes hazardous. Manufacturers' recommendation and/or Company' guidelines must be adhered to in order to prevent an over exposure.. S.I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -4- FORMS OF CHEMICALS Dusts Solid particles generated by crushing, grinding, impacting, exploding or break- ing apart. Particles that can't be seen in the air can get deep into the lungs and cauSe damage. A visible layer of dust maY indicate that ventilation exhaust sys- tems are inadequate or aren't working properly. Fumes Solid particles usualiy condensed from heated metal operations like welding, sol- dering, melting, or smelting. In most cases, the hot material reacts with the oxy- ~¢~..~_~i tgen in the air tO fOrm an Oxide' Lead Oxide fumes' fOr example' can be fOrmed ' during smelting and iron oxide fumes from arc welding. The pa.rticle size infumes is small enough to be deposited deep in the lungs. - Smoke A mixture of small solid particles of carbon-or soot and droplets (such as tar . droplets in tobacco smoke). Smoke particles are generally even smaller than fume particles and can also go deep into the lungs. Mists Liquid droplets suspended in the air. A mist is formed by breaking up a liquid, r. .,_.....~ by splashing, foaming, or atomizing. Examples would be the oil mist produced . -~.<-~_~ during cutting and grinding, acid mists from electroplating, or paint spray mist from paint spraying. Continued S.I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -5- FORMS OF CHEMICALS (Continued) Gases Fluids (as.air) tl~at do not take shape or volume. Example: Oxygen is a gas. Carbon monoxide, found in the exhaust of.internal combustion engines, is also a gas: One is necessary to sustain life. The other is dangerous~in excessive amounts. Vapors Gaseous form of substances that are normally in the solid or liquid state. For example, solvent vapors evapOrate from some solvents, Such as acetone, at room temperature. Liquids Formless flUids. An example is water, all liquid we commonly encounter will also evaporate at a characteristic rate in air. This evaporation can create gases that mix with air. S.I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -6- HOW CHEMICALS ENTER THE BODY Routes of~ Entry ,.There. are three primary roUtes of entry into the body for chemicals: .. · Inhalation . ._-. ,... Skin absorption· ~' .. · !nges~on Inhalation ·Most chemicals enter the bod~/by being inhaled through the lungs, chemicals like chlorine or ammonia, can irritate the nose, throat, and lungs. Other chemi-. cals are absorbed through the lungs into the blood and, in this way, do damage to other organs in the body. Chemicals in dust form, such as silica and asbestos, tend to lodge in the lUngs and remain for a long time. These dusts can cause. immediate reactions or symptoms that can occur many years later. Skin Absorption Chemicals that are absorbed through the skin are. usually liquids. They can cause either a localized reaCtion, like a rash or some other form of dermatitis, or they can be absorbed through the skin into the body and affect internal organs. Some examples of chemicals that can be hazardous if'absorbed through the skin are solvents, methanol, toluene and some pesticides like parathion. Ingestion The third route of entry is' ingestion, or swallowing.' People do not'deliberately swallow dangerous chemicals. Eating lunch in a contaminated work area or [~~~ neglecting to wash contaminated hahds can result in swallowing chemicals with food. These chemicals are then absorbed through-normal body functions into the blood and may affect other organs in the body. S.I; 126 : HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective '11-25-85 -7- HOw CHEMICALS AFFECT THE BODY: '- Reaction The body's reaction to harmful chemicals may be-either acute or chronic. An acute reaction occurs immediately upon exposure to the hazard - for example, a skin rash from getting solvent on unprotected skin. A chronic reaction is damage to the body that occurs over a period of time -. for' example, lung diseases that take years to develop. Classifications Chemicals are' classified by the effects they have on the body. The classifica- tions are as follows: h'ritants Chemicals whose main effect on the body is one of irritation. Irritant gases affect the nose, airways, eyes, mouth, or lungs. They can produce acute as well as chronic irritation. Irritation can cause overproduction of mucus, chronic coug'h, and have a potential to make a person more susceptible to infection. Examples of irritant gases include phosgene, chlorine, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and ammonia. .. Asphyxiants Could be any gas or chemical in high concentration in the air which can displace oxygen and cause suffocation. Examples of simple asphyxiants .are propane, argon, methane, neon,, helium, hydrogen, and acetylene. Anesthetics or Chemicals that make you drowsy, sleepy, or produce a mild drunkenness. Large Narcotics amounts of these chemicals can cause a person to go into a stupor, a coma, cause convulsions or death. Examples inClude chlorinated hydrocarbons, which are normally used as solvents, such as freon, trichloroethane, and pei'chloroethylene. Alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol are also narcotics. ContinUed S.I. 126 " HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -8- HOW CHEMICALS AFFECT THE BODY: (Continued) Carcinogens CarcinOgens are substances that are suspected or~ known to have the capacity to cause cancer in humans or animals. -Some well known carcinogens ,are asbestos,, benzene, nitrosamines, vinyl -:chloride, benzidine dyes, chromium, arsenic, and coal tar pitch volatiles. Mutagens Chemicals that can cause changes in sperm or egg cells. The changes could ultimately cause cancer in the exposed person ,or birth defects in his or her offspring. Examples are ozone and benzene. Teratogens Chemicals that cause abnormal changes in. the fetus during pregnancy, result- ing in birth defects. .Examples are nicotine and alcohols. : Systemic Poisons chemicals that interfere with normal body. functions and may.affect all body [ systems and organs. Beryllium is an example. ~ S.l.. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITiON/COMMUNICATiON Effective 11-25-85 -9- .. POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS AT COMPANY LOCATIONS· Introduction Potential health hazards exist in almost all areas of our lives, at home and in the workplace. Because work locations (and the activities performed there) are familiar, it is' easier to predict and control the health hazards that may exist. The table on page 11 can help you be more aware of the health hazards which may be associated with the activities that employees perform at company locations. 'l~.ble The table lists typical company locations and the Work activities commonly per- Fxplanation formed. The table then lists the health hazards that are associated with each work activity. To use the table, identify in the firSt column the location in which you work. Then, for that location, select the activity or activities that you will be performing. The third column lists the hazards that may be encountered. Example For example, if you are handling materials in a warehouse, the table tells you that possible hazards include solventS and compressed gases. You then could turn to the pages that describe those hazards in detail to learn more about them. Supervisor's The table is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all the hazards that may exist Responsibilities in each situation. You should: · Develop a list for your specific group. ·Obtain resource documents identified in this package. This may require that you obtain an MSDS When appropriate. ·Ensure that employees are properly trained in how to handle hazardous substances to which they may be exposed. If you encounter a situation you think may be hazardous consult one of the fol- 'lowing for guidance. ·S.I. 131, Emergency Operating Instructions, Methods of Procedures Binder · Hazardous Materials/VVaste Mangagement Handbook · Company Safety · .Company Medical S.I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -10- POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS AT COMPANY LOCATIONS' :(Continued).

POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS AT CUSTOMER' LOCATIONS · Introduction Customer locations present an array of Potential health, hazards.' Since these locations vary so greatly the kinds of health hazardO enc6untered can be equally varied and unpredictable. Supervisor's Potential hazards at customer locations pOse more of a challenge. They aren't Responsibility always predictable since businesses have differing processes. The supervisor, therefore, must train employees to recognize hazards, and plan ahead for haz- ards at customer locations. Hazards which exist on a customer's premises may require negotiations with the customer. What To Look Certain industrial environments entail obvious health hazards and require spe- For cial protective equipment and/or Work procedures. Typical examples include: · Nuclear generating statiOns · Chemical manufacturing facilities and storage locations. · Laboratories · Refineries In addition, special hazards exist in places where paint spraying, welding, plat- ing, abrasive blasting, and machining are done. "Clues" To ManY work situations, however, have health hazards .that are more subtle-and Potential Health may require some "detective" work to identify. Hazards The following list includes environmental conditions that should "clue" you that a potential health hazard may be present: · Noise levels that require voices to be raised to be heard · Strong odor noticed upon entering an area · Eye irritation upon entering an area · Visible fumes or dust · Ineffective exhaust systems · Highly toxic chemicals in use - (labeled containers) · Worker comments of discomfort · Warnings on posted labels, signs, or placards · Special protective equipment that is in use or is 'readily available S.I. 126 HAZARD RECOGNITION/COMMUNICATION Effective 11-25-85 -12- COMMON HAZARDS Introduction This section contains information on potential health hazards that 'are found in our industry.

In general, these gases are nontoxic. However, prolonged inhalation of high concentrations can have an anesthetic effect. Since they displace natural oxygen in the air, high concentrations can cause suffocation. Skin contact with the liquid form of these .gases can resUlt in severe burns. Anhydrous ammonia, for short periods of time, can irritate the skin, eyes, throat, and lungs, High concentrations can have a corrosive effect on tissues and cause laryngeal and bronchial spasms and edema, leading to obstructed breathing. Lasers · Reference: · PSP Outside Craft Module · RL 82-11-163 · Health Impact: Damage to the eye can be associated with lasers. Careless exposure to the laser beam can cause injury to the retina and, in some cases, cataracts. Since the light emission pattern of the semicondUctor' lasers used in our company is a dispersed beam, i.e., it is' not as powerfully~focused as other laser beams, the risk of eye injury decreases rapidly with distance from the 'source of the beam.
