Introduction
• There are approximately 650,000 existing chemical products and hundreds of new ones being introduced annually
• Chemical exposure may cause or contribute to many serious health effects
• Chemicals may also be safety hazards and have the potential to cause fires and explosions and other serious accidents
![Page 3: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Purpose• Employees have both a need and a
right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to when working
• Most chemicals we work with are covered by the rule
![Page 6: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• The plan does not have to be lengthy or complicated
![Page 9: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Written Program Requirements
• Employers must develop a written program that covers:– Procedures for making sure all
containers are properly labeled– How to obtain and maintain Material
Safety Data Sheets – Employee Information and Training
![Page 10: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Written Program Requirements
• Employers must develop a written program that covers at least:– A list of the hazardous chemicals present
in the workplace – The methods the employer will use to
inform employees of the hazards non-routine tasks
– The hazards of chemicals in unlabeled pipes
– Sharing information with other employers
![Page 11: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

(electronic such as computer or fax; paper )
![Page 15: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Material Safety Data Sheets
• Obtain MSDS for each hazardous chemical used. If none, call the manufacturer or check their website
• Ask for one from your salesperson, wholesaler, or retailer
• Should not allow employees to use any chemicals for which you have no MSDS
• Establish purchasing procedures so that MSDSs are being received before a material is used in workplace
![Page 16: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Material Safety Data Sheets
• Prepared by the manufacturer and describe:• Identity of the chemical • Physical and chemical characteristics • Physical hazards such as fire and explosion• Health hazards• Routes of exposure• Exposure limits• Control measures• Emergency and first-aid procedures
![Page 17: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MSDS Example• Heavy Duty Silicone Spray Lubricant• Look for:• Emergency phone number• Date of MSDS• Ingredients• Health Hazards/Routes of Entry• Physical Hazards• First Aid and Emergency Procedures• Handling and Storage• How to protect yourself from
overexposure

Labels
The employer need not affix new labelsto comply with the standard if
existing labels already conveythe required information
![Page 23: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• The manufacturer
• The name of the product
• a hazard warning
• a list of hazardous ingredients
![Page 24: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Inform Employees• The Hazard Communication

involve hazardous chemicals• Location and availability of the
written Hazard Communication Program including the list(s) of hazardous chemicals and the required MSDSs
• Basics for all employees as part of the new employee safety orientation
![Page 25: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Train Employees
• Employers must provide employees information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area:– At the time of their initial assignment– Whenever a new physical or health
hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area
![Page 26: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Train Employees• Explanation of the HazCom program, including
information on labels, MSDSs, and how to obtain and use available hazard information
• The physical and health hazards of chemicals in the work area
• The likely physical symptoms of overexposure• Protective measures such as engineering
controls, work practices, and the use of PPE• Emergency procedures• How to detect the presence or release of
hazardous chemicals
![Page 27: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Documentation• The rule does not require
employers to maintain records of employee training, but is a very good idea
• Written plan reviewed and updated as necessary
![Page 28: Hazard Communication 2008 Paula Vanderpool Program Assistant (509)667-7110 Suzanne Reister Program Manager (509)667-7100.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649e045503460f94af0dde/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Your district’s written plan• Who is responsible for?
– Labeling– MSDS maintenance– Chemical inventory list
• Where is your written program located?• Where and how can employees get a
MSDS? • Is your current chemical inventory
included?• Procedures for non-routine tasks• Your plan for training your employees• Your plan for informing contractor’s
