Introduction
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) issued a
standard entitled Hazard
Communication 29 CFR 1910.1200
The Hazard Communication Standards
gives workers the lawful right to learn
about hazardous materials in the
workplace so that they can protect
themselves against potential hazards.
Hazards of Chemicals
There are 2 basic types of chemical hazards
Physical Hazards
Health Hazards
The first rule of Chemical safety is
"Know what you are working with and
how to protect yourself and others
Physical Hazards
Chemicals are classified as having Physical
Hazards if they are
Explosive
Compressed Gas
Combustible Liquids
Flammable
Unstable
Water Reactive
Oxidizers
Health Hazards
Chemicals are classified as being a health
hazard if they:
Can cause cancer
Are poisonous (toxic)
Cause harm to your skin, internal organs, or
nervous system
Are corrosive - such as acids
Cause allergic reactions after repeated
exposure
accidental swallowing of a
chemical
A Material is Considered
Hazardous if it is:
Specifically listed in the law, 29 CFR part
1910, subpart Z.
Assigned a TLV value by the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH).
Has a physical or health hazards.
Labeling of Chemicals
Chemical Labels provide
information on Identity,
Hazards and Safe Use
Labeling of Chemicals
If chemicals are placed in another
container, this new container must
have a label placed on it.
All containers must be properly
labeled
Right to Know
All types must identify the
chemical name and hazards
NFPA Label..
The purpose of the NFPA 704
labeling system is to provide a
way of quickly identifying the
various fire related hazardous
associated with a particular
material. The NFPA 704
"diamond" is commonly
found on bulk storage
containers, but is also widely
used on chemical containers
and MSDS sheets.

Warning Labels
What do I do
if there is no label or I cannot read the
label?
STOP - do not use the chemical
TELL your supervisor
READ the MSDS and have another label
put on the container

Health Hazards
Spill & Leak Procedures
Chemical Disposal
Each chemical and container must be
disposed of properly
Chemical Disposal
Recycle unused chemicals
Do not place hazardous
chemicals in normal trash
receptacles.
Do not pour chemicals into
sinks, onto the ground or
in storm drains
Safe Storage
Store incompatible chemicals in
separate areas
Safe Storage
Store acids in separate acid storage
lockers
In case of an emergency
Implement the proper Emergency Action Plan
Evacuate people from the area
Protecting Yourself
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) may be needed to
protect yourself from
chemical hazards
Use the PPE our Company has
required for each chemical
Check the PPE before use to
make sure it is not damaged
Protecting Yourself
Use face shield and Goggles if there is a
splash hazard
Protecting Yourself
Use the right gloves when handling
chemicals
Stay Safe
Make sure all containers
are properly labeled
Use the proper protective
equipment
Store chemicals only in
approved areas
Immediately report leaks
and spills
Dispose of used chemicals
and containers properly
Definition: LD50
LD50 (Lethal Dose50) is the
amount of a substance that,
when administered by a
defined route of entry (e.g. oral
or dermal) over a specified
period of time, is expected to
cause the death of 50 per cent
of a defined animal population.
Definition: LC50
LC50 (Lethal Concentration50) is
the amount of a substance in
air that, when given by
inhalation over a specified
period of time, is expected to
cause the death in 50 per cent
of a defined animal population.
Pyrophoric Materials
Air reactive
White phosphorus, diborane,
diethyl aluminum chloride,
lithium
Store under an inert
atmosphere such as nitrogen
Eye protection
Protects against risk of
flying objects or dust
particles, splashes of
hazardous materials or
harmful rays
Safety Glasses
Unbreakable lenses of
plastic or tempered
glass
For light-to-moderate
work
Can be prescription
lenses
Do not interfere with
contact lenses
Goggles
Work with significant
risk of splash of
chemicals or projectiles
Can be worn over
prescription glasses
Face Shield
Work with significant
risk of splash on face or
possible explosion
Face shield protects
face adequately but not
eyes
Hand Protection
Protects against risk of
cuts, abrasions, burns,
or exposure to
hazardous materials.
Requires selection of
the appropriate
chemical resistant
gloves
Handle unknowns as if
they were hazardous
Contain
bioaerosols in a
biological safety
cabinet
Use mechanical
transfer devices
