![Page 10: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Written ProgramHow the School will Meet Requirements:1. Labeling/warning information2. MSDS 3. Employee Information and Training4. List of Hazardous Chemicals 5. Hazards of “non-routine” tasks6. Outside contractor/visitor
communication*Program must be available upon request
![Page 11: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Labeling
Container Labels Must Contain:
• Identity of hazardous chemicals
• Appropriate hazard warnings
• Name & address of manufacturer
Manufacturers label should be sufficient
![Page 12: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When do you need to label?
• Chemical transferred to other container and NOT used by 1 employee on 1 shift– Spray bottles are often overlooked– Science and art rooms often forgotten
• Manufacturer’s labels is worn/illegible• Label is not in English
![Page 13: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Labeling Exemptions• Articles = Not gas, liquid or particle item with
“end use function” (i.e. solid parts)• Materials regulated by other agencies
- Pesticides (but label required by EPA)– Food, Drugs, Cosmetics – Alcohol– Agricultural or vegetable seeds– Wood or wood products– Biological hazards– Radiation
![Page 14: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Must have a MSDS for every “hazardous” chemical in the school
OSHA Hazardous – “Any chemical which is a physical or health hazard”
“All substances are poisons; there is none that it is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy”
Paracelsus 1493-1541
![Page 15: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MSDS Contentsi. Name – Product Identityii. Physical & chemical characteristicsiii. Physical hazardsiv. Health hazardsv. Routes of entryvi. Whether or not it can cause cancervii. Precautions for safe handlingviii.Control measures (ventilation, PPE, etc)ix. Emergency & first aidx. Date of MSDS preparation and revisionxi. Contact info. for manufacturer
![Page 16: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Exposure Standards – Alphabet Soup
• Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL)– OSHA Standard – enforceable– Subject to industry lobbying
• Recommended Exposure Limit (REL)– National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH)– Research based – not enforceable
• Threshold Limit Value (TLV)– American Conference of Govt. Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH)– Recommended but not enforceable
![Page 17: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Health Considerations
• Review significant routes of entry– Skin contact, inhalation, ingestions
• Chronic vs. Acute– Chronic – delayed response
• i.e. cancer, cirrhosis
– Acute – effect short time after exposure• Irritation, headaches, dizziness, allergic
![Page 18: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MSDS Maintenance
• Obtain from chemical manufacturer
• MSDS must be readily & immediately accessible to employees
• Electronic files are permitted if employees have access– Keep current – periodic review
for updates
![Page 19: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MSDS Recommendations
• Establish & maintain a new product introduction program– Have 1 person designated to approve all
new products brought onto school grounds
– Approval requires submitting MSDS sheet, review for hazards & training if needed
![Page 20: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chemical Inventory List
• List of all “hazardous” chemicals found in the facility
• Must include the name used on the MSDS sheet
• Consider using as an MSDS index
![Page 21: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Training
• All employees who use or could come in contact with “hazardous” chemicals must be trained– At the time of hiring– Before beginning a new assignment/job
change– Whenever there is a new hazard that was
not included in previous training– Whenever new hazards are discovered for
an existing product
![Page 22: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Non-routine Tasks
• Often overlooked – could be significant health and safety
hazards
• Examples in schools could include– Cleaning, using chemicals in confined space such
as crawlspaces– Handling cooling tower treatment chemicals– Chemicals to remove graffiti – Inventory old chemicals from science & art rooms
![Page 23: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Outside Contractors/Vendors
• Must inform of hazards associated with products they use or may come in contact with
• Notify them of written program and location of MSDS sheets
• Provide training as needed
![Page 24: OSHA Regulations often applied to commercial office & schools Rob Rottersman, MS, CIH 847.685.9266 rrottersman@boelter-yates.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649efd5503460f94c10c4c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Chemicals Used by Vendors at Your School
Janitorial cleaning crews, contractors, pesticide applicators, etc.
• Make sure they have provided you with MSDS sheets• Review to ensure they are complete & up to date• KNOW THE LOCATION of their MSDS sheets AND
inform your employees

You Know an IDOL Inspection is going bad when-
• IDOL sets up temp. housing in your parking lot• The officer mutters “this is unbelievable”• They call in a professional film crew for documentation and you
recognize Walter Jacobson• Officer is wearing a moon suit and respirator your staff is in
jeans and tennis shoes• Officer begins inspection with “you have the right to remain
silent”• Officer asks a specific question about a note in your files
(before you show him the file)• Officer knows all your staff by their first names• Officer is a former science teacher that you fired
