Purpose of Hazard Communication Laws Personal Protective Equipment Material Safety Data Sheets Labels

Your company, its suppliers and the government are all working together to protect you. Remember, the only person who can keep you safe, every day, is YOU. Take the time to learn about all the products with which you work and how to handle them safely. Here are some helpful resources and information for you to be safe in the work place.

Purpose of Hazard Communication Laws Workers have a right-to-know the identities and hazards of chemicals they work with and around under conditions of normal use or in reasonably foreseeable emergencies.

Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 Workers must be informed in five ways: 1. Through a written Hazard Communication Program (HAZCOM) 2. Inventory of chemicals, maintained by a designated person. 3. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) 4. Explanation of Chemical Labeling 5. Effective training of chemical hazards

HAZCOM Objectives •Make you aware of your workplace hazards. •Teach you safe methods of handling the products. •Document your HAZCOM program. - Inform you of the labeling requirements and your responsibility. - Inform you of the location of the MSD Sheets in your work area.

Components of the HAZCOM Program •Written HAZCOM Program •MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) •Proper Chemical Labeling •PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) •Employee Training

Personal Protective Equipment Certain safety equipment is required or recommended to be worn when handling chemicals. Types of Personal Protective Equipment include:

Gloves

Shoe Covers/Boots

Eye Protectors

Respirator

Material Safety Data Sheets Your company, its suppliers and the government are all working together to protect you. Remember, the only person who can keep you safe, every day, is YOU. Take the time to learn about all the products with which you work and how to handle them safely. Each MSDS is required to contain standard information to fully inform you about the product, its manufacture, hazards to which you may be exposed, what precautions you should take to protect yourself and how to treat an individual who is exposed. Each Section will be reviewed below.

Section I: Product Information This section identifies the product name and the contact information.

Section II: Hazardous Ingredients This section identifies any hazardous ingredient, the occupational exposure limit (OEL), if any, and whether or not the ingredient causes cancer.

Section III: Physical Data This section describes what the product looks like, smells like, whether it is a gas, liquid or solid, its pH, thickness, and percent of solids.

Section IV: Fire & Explosion Data This section tells you whether the product is flammable and if so,

at

what temperature does the product ignite and what you should use to extinguish the fire.

Section V: Health Hazard Data This section describes what happens if you get the product in your eyes, on your skin, breathe it in, or ingest it. It also provides the emergency and first aid procedures to use as well.

Section VI: Reactivity Data This section describes what happens if you should accidently mix this chemical with another chemical.

Section VII: Spill or Leak Procedures This section describes what you should do if the container begins to leak.

Section VIII: Special Protection Information This section tells you what personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended to safely handle the product.

Section IX: Special Precautions This section lists any special precautions that were not listed in previous sections including such things as special handling and special storage conditions.

United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)

Purpose of Hazard Communication Personal Protective Equipment Safety Data Sheets Labels

United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)

Prologue:

GHS Modified HAZCOM •

In 1983, OSHA in an effort to increase safety in the workplace introduced the Chemical Hazard Communication Program or HAZCOM. In 2012, OSHA modified HAZCOM to conform to the “United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).” The standard changes the look and information order of your OSHA approved labels and Safety Data Sheets.

Important Dates to Remember •

By December 1, 2013 must train employees regarding the new label elements and safety data sheet format.



By June 1, 2015 chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers shall be in compliance with all modified provisions, except:



After December 1, 2015 the distributor shall not ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer unless the label has been modified to comply.



By June 1, 2016 all employers shall update all alternative labels, their HAZCOM program and provide effective employee training for all employees at time of their initial assignment and whenever a new chemical is introduced to the work area.



Source Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1200

Major New Elements of GHS •

Hazard Classification: Defined: to identify the relevant data regarding the hazards of a chemical; review those data to determine the hazards associated with the chemical; and decide whether the chemical will be classified as hazardous according to the definition of hazardous chemical. In addition, where appropriate the degree of the hazard will be determined by comparing the data with the criteria for health and physical hazards.



Pictograms: is a symbol, with a border, and a background intended to share specific information about the hazards of a product.

Example: corrosive

United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)



Signal Word: a word used to indicate the relative level of severity of hazard and alert the reader to the potential hazard on the label. The two signal words for the standard are: –

danger (more severe)

– warning (less severe) •

Hazard Statements: a statement assigned to a hazard class and category that describes the nature of the hazard. Example: “May cause eye irritation.”



Precautionary Statements: A phrase that describes recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical, or improper storage, or handling. Examples include: – Prevention; wear eye protection – Response; rinse cautiously with water – Storage; store in a well ventilated area – Disposal; Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant

About OSHA and “The Standard” Exposure Control Plans Identify, Implement and Ensure Universal Precautions & Controls Provide Personal Protective Equipment Covered Pathogens & Vaccination Requirements Post-exposure Evaluation & Follow-up Labels & Signs Information & Clean Up Procedures Maintain Records

Bloodborne Pathogens Standard When it comes to Safety Training, it is important to cover the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. This Cleancheck safety training program provides in-depth coverage for the standard -- broken down into nine topics, which enables users to control the pace of the training module.

These topics are:  1. About OSHA and “The Standard” 2. Exposure Control Plans 3. Identify, Implement and Ensure Universal Precautions & Controls 4. Provide Personal Protective Equipment 5. Covered Pathogens & Vaccination Requirements 6. Post-exposure Evaluation & Follow-up 7. Labels & Signs 8. Information & Clean Up Procedures 9. Maintain Records

Section One: A brief overview of OSHA and The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. In the U.S., the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or “OSHA”, is the government agency that  develops and provides guidelines to ensure that workers have a safe work environment. Our goal of this training program is to provide you with the knowledge needed to understand OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, otherwise known as 29 – C– F – R; 19,  10.10, 30. The OHSA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard was issued to protect employees who can reasonably be anticipated to come into contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials as a result of doing their job. Such as: •  Physicians •  Nurses •  Emergency medical personnel •  Operating room personnel •  Law enforcement officers •  Laundry workers •  Certain custodial personnel •  Other health care personnel •  Personnel identified to provide  assistance in a workplace accident

Section One: A brief overview of OSHA and The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Continued

The standard outlines what your employer must do to help protect you from occupational exposures and what must be done if you are  exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials (also called,  O.P.I.M.).

To comply with the standard, employers must: 1. Establish an exposure control plan. 2. Update the plan annually. 3. Implement the use of universal precautions. 4. Identify and use engineering controls. 5. Identify and ensure the use of work practice controls. 6. Provide personal protective equipment (or, P.P.E.) including but not limited to: gloves, gowns, eye protection, and masks. 7. Make hepatitis B vaccinations available to all workers with an occupational exposure. 8. Make available post-exposure evaluation and follow-up to any   occupationally exposed worker who experiences an exposure      incident. 9. Use labels and signs to communicate hazards. 10. Provide information and training to workers. 11. Maintain worker medical and training records.

Section Two: The Exposure Control Plan OSHA requires that a site-specific, written Exposure Control Plan be  prepared for the safety and health of at-risk workers. At a minimum, the plan must include the following:  •  Identification of job classifications and tasks where  there is exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. •  An explanation of the protective measures currently  in effect and methods of compliance to be implemented, including: - hepatitis B vaccination and post-exposure follow   up procedures;  - hazard communication with employees;  - personal protective equipment;  - housekeeping; and  - record keeping. •  Procedures for evaluating the circumstances of an exposure incident.  The written Exposure Control Plan must be made available to workers and OSHA representatives, and updated at least annually. Ask your supervisor to see your site-specific plan.  If one is not available please refer to the example Exposure Control Plan that is  included in the Safety Manual document. This can be used as a template to establish your own exposure control.  The facility safety committee, supervisors, and front line employees, together, are responsible for recognizing any task that creates a potential for exposure. They are each to observe the worksite, review activities, and determine and continually update the worksite to guard against hazards.

Section Three: How to identify, implement and ensure universal workplace precautions and controls. All “at risk” workers should be aware of General Universal  Precautions. A general rule requires blood, bodily fluids,  and waste products to be treated as if they are infectious. In order to protect themselves, all staff members will follow these universal precautions at all times while on duty: 1.

Handle blood and body substance of all people as potentially infectious.

2.

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and running water before and after all person or specimen contact, even when gloves are used.

3.

Wear disposable gloves for all potential contacts with blood and body substance. Discard gloves immediately after each use.

4.

Wear a gown when blood or body substance splashing is reasonably expected.

5.

Wear protective eyewear and mask when blood or body substance splattering is possible.

6.

Treat all linen soiled with blood or body substance as infectious

7.

Change gloves after each contact, as glove integrity cannot be assured with washing and repeated use.

8.

Wear a waterproof dressing and gloves if you have cuts, abrasions, or other lesions.

9.

Clean up and disinfect all spills or contamination immediately using the established procedure.

Section Three: How to identify, implement and ensure universal workplace precautions and controls. Continued

10. Discard disposable items including tampons, used bandages, and dressings in plastic containers lined with non-reusable bags. Close and discard bags daily using an appropriate disposal procedure. 11. Use disposable or utility gloves for general cleaning. 12. Use disposable gloves for all housekeeping chores involving potential  

contact with body fluids.

13. Use protective airway mask when performing CPR.

All practices, equipment, and supplies will be examined, maintained, and updated as needed on a regular schedule. Information on the use of these procedures will be provided to all employees.

Disposal Procedures 1. Sharps will be placed in an approved sharps container. When moderately full, the container will be placed in the central double bag/box  system for appropriate disposal. Sharps will not be reused, recapped, bent, or removed. 2. Other contaminated, disposable items or materials will be placed in the central double bag/box system for appropriate disposal on a  regular basis. Bio-hazard disposal bags/boxes will be used. 3. All central bags/boxes used for disposal will be color-coded and  marked with the appropriate bio-hazard symbol. Collection points will be in areas not generally accessible to all building occupants.

Section Three: How to identify, implement and ensure universal workplace precautions and controls. Continued

Handwashing Facilities 1. Each site at which exposure can reasonably be expected will have  hand washing facilities with soap and running water within easy access. 2. At sites without hand washing facilities, antiseptic towelettes or alcohol gel will be available where a slight potential for contamination exists. Disinfectant, gloves, first aid supplies, and similar items will also  be available 3. Signs will be posted to remind employees to wash hands after each procedure, whether gloved or not.

Another Universal Precaution is the need for Cleanup Kits for Removing Blood and Bodily Fluids •  When contamination occurs from larger amounts of bodily fluids such  as vomitus and blood, kits will be provided for clean up by designated trained personnel. •  Custodians and any other personnel designated as responsible for cleanup will receive training in the proper use of the clean up kits. •  Other personnel will be instructed not to clean up any blood or body fluids unless designated as part of this plan.

While it seems like common sense, it must be made clear that Eating and Food Storage cannot occur in areas where contamination exists. •  No eating, drinking, cosmetics application, food storage, or similar activities will be allowed in areas where contamination or contaminated fluids are present.  Additionally, no food will be stored in refrigerators that also contain contaminated products.

It is important to be sure that there is Marking Of Areas With Contaminated Products. • All areas and containers with contaminated products will be marked by labels, colors, and signs.

Section Four: Personal Protective Equipment Personal Protective Equipment •  The plan requires all personnel to use gloves when handling any potentially infectious materials, objects, or surfaces. •  All staff identified as “at-risk of exposure” must be provided ample supplies of gloves at no cost to the employee. •  Hypoallergenic gloves or liners are available upon request. •  Contaminated laundry and clothing will be cleaned either on-site (using procedures described in this training program) or will be double bagged in marked containers and sent out for professional cleaning. •  Roll paper and disposable pillowcases that are impervious to fluid will be used to cover furniture which is not  easily disinfected and in areas with high potential for exposure. •  Additional PPE is available as needed, including eyewear, masks, gowns and other items.

Section Five: Covered Pathogens and Vaccination Requirements To understand the standard you need to know about the covered pathogens:  Hepatitis B and HIV. HEPATITIS B - Hepatitis is a liver disease, initially resulting in

possible inflammation of the liver, and frequently leading to  more serious conditions including cirrhosis and liver cancer. In the United States each year, there are approximately 300,000  new cases of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), the most prevalent form  of Hepatitis. Healthcare workers are 20 times more likely to contract Hepatitis B than the general population. •  It is estimated that there are as many as 18,000 new cases of HBV each year among healthcare workers, resulting in  200 to 300 deaths. •  While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, a vaccine does exist  that can prevent infection. •  In healthcare settings HBV is most often transmitted  through breaks in the skin or mucous membranes. •  This usually occurs through needle sticks, human bites, or having infectious material (such as blood or other body fluids) get into existing cuts or abrasions. The symptoms of HBV infection are very much like a mild “flu.”  Initially, there is a sense of fatigue, possible stomach pain, loss of appetite, and even nausea. As the disease continues to develop, darkened urine and jaundice (or, distinct yellowing of the skin) will often occur. However, people who are infected with HBV will often show no symptoms for some time. After exposure it can take two to six months for Hepatitis B to  develop. This is extremely important, since vaccinations begun immediately after exposure to the virus can often prevent infection. The Hepatitis B vaccine will be made available within ten days of assignment at no cost to all employees in primary jobs.

Section Five: Covered Pathogens and Vaccination Requirements Continued

Following the Bloodborne Pathogens training, employees will be  given a full description of the vaccination series and side effects, as well as sign a Consent/Refusal form. The form is included in the Safety Training Manual. Those who consent will be scheduled and given time off for the vaccination series. Records of the vaccination will be maintained and appropriate follow-up boosters will be scheduled as medically prescribed.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) - HIV is spreading 

rapidly. Healthcare workers appear to have a slightly higher risk of contracting the virus than the general population. The transmission of these pathogens occurs through the contact of Blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials with the eyes, mouth, other mucous membranes, or parenteral (or, non intact) skin. Many people with the HIV virus can show no apparent symptoms  for years after infection. In most cases, contracting the HIV virus ultimately leads to the  development of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (or,  AIDS). This results in the breakdown of the immune system, so the body does not have the ability to fight off other diseases.  Currently no vaccination exists to prevent infection of HIV, and  there is no known cure. Symptoms of HIV infection can vary, but often include: •  Weakness

• Sore Throat

•  Headaches

•  Nausea

•  Fever    •  Diarrhea

 

•  Other flu-like symptoms

Section Five: Covered Pathogens and Vaccination Requirements Continued

HBV, HIV and other Bloodborne pathogens may be present in Blood  or OPIM including: •  Semen •  Vaginal secretions •  Cerebro-spinal fluid •  Synovial fluid •  Any unfixed tissue or organ •  HIV or HBV cultures •  Tissue from experimental animals contaminated with HBV  or HIV. 

• Pleural fluid •  Percardial fluid •  Peritoneal fluid •  Amniotic fluid •  Saliva in dental procedures •  All body fluids where it is difficult to determine if blood is  present

Section Six: Post Exposure Evaluation & Follow Up All employees, whether under the plan or not, are required to report ALL exposures to bodily fluids to their supervisor immediately, using Communicable Disease Risk Exposure Report.  An  example of this report is available in the Safety Training Manual.  All reports will be held as confidential.  All exposed employees, both under and not under the plan, will  receive full follow up.

Follow up to a report of exposure Following a report of exposure, the employee will be immediately  referred to the designated facility healthcare professional for confidential medical evaluation and follow up. The physician will be  provided a copy of this plan. The healthcare professional will inform the employee and facility within five days whether the incident is defined as an exposure  under the standard. If the incident is not defined as an exposure, the employee will be  counseled and no further action will be taken. The reporting form with the physician’s determination will be placed in the employee’s supplemental file. If there is a defined exposure, the physician will immediately provide  follow up activities at no cost to the employee, including: •  Documentation of the circumstances and routes of exposure; •  Identification and documentation of the source individual; •  Collection and testing of the source individual’s blood with consent; or establishment that legally required consent cannot be  obtained. •  Test results will be made available to the employee. •  Ongoing testing of the employee’s blood will be performed per U. S. Public Health Services protocol, including immediate, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year tests.

Section Six: Post Exposure Evaluation & Follow Up Continued

•  With employee permission, the Hepatitis B vaccination series will be started immediately, and, within twenty-four (24) hours the HBIG inoculation will be administered. •  Post-exposure prevention treatment and an evaluation of  reported illnesses will be completed. •  Appropriate counseling and any other directed actions, as determined by the healthcare professional, will be carried out. With the exception of the initial determination, no reports will be  made by the physician to the facility. The physician will maintain records for the appropriate time.

Section Seven: Labels & Signs Biohazard labels must be utilized where blood and/or other potentially infectious material may be present. 1. Labels should be fluorescent orange, orange-red, or predominantly comprised of those colors. with lettering and symbols in a contrasting color. 2. Red bags or red containers may be substituted.

Section Eight: Information and Clean Up Procedures Training is required for new workers at the time of their initial assignment,  PRIOR to completing tasks with occupational exposure.  Training is also required when job tasks change, causing occupational exposure risk, and annually thereafter.  In the Safety Training Manual, you will find a current copy of the  Bloodborne Pathogens Standard for your review. This document was obtained online from the OSHA website address shown here. This copy was used with permission from: http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_ table=STANDARDS&p_id=10051 

Clean Up Procedures Housekeeping When performing general cleaning after contamination with blood or body fluids, all employees must  wear disposable gloves and proper protection equipment prior to making any contact with blood or body fluids. This includes, but is not limited to, care and first  aid treatment of a person as well as cleaning procedures for objects contaminated with body fluids.

Employees should use only disposable items provided.

When the procedure is completed, discard disposable articles from each contact or cleanup into plastic trash bags that are marked for placement into the bio-medical waste bags.

Section Eight: Information and Clean Up Procedures Continued

Handwashing

Use soap and running water. Soap helps remove dirt and bacteria.  Rub hands together for fifteen seconds to work up  a lather.

Be sure to scrub between fingers, knuckles, back of hands,  and around nails. Then rinse your hands under running water.

Dry hands with paper towel. Use your paper towel to turn off water. Then discard it in the trash. (If you are in an area where water is not available, use the available antiseptic towelettes or alcohol gel until you get to running water.)

Kit Instructions

Use clean-up kits on floors and all washable surfaces. Be sure to follow the kit instructions. There are some variations in brands, but basic principles and steps are the same as listed here:  

First, put on disposable gloves and proper protection equipment. Next, cover the fluid (including vomitus, blood, or other body  fluid) with the absorbent powder. This will absorb 80-90 times  its own weight. Allow it to congeal and then pick up the congealed waste matter with the cardboard scoops. Finally put the congealed matter and scoops into the plastic  bag. Wait an appropriate amount of time, wipe the disinfectant from the spill area with the absorbent towel and place the towel and empty bottles into the biohazard bag.

Section Eight: Information and Clean Up Procedures Continued

Next, remove gloves and place into the plastic bag.

Wash hands using antiseptic towelette or alcohol gel. Place the towelette into biohazard bag and re-apply gloves.

Apply appropriate disinfectant solution evenly over the spill area, but do not spray, allow to air dry.

If a disposable apron was used, fold it so that the outside is rolled together.

Place in in the bio-hazard bag and twist tie the bag. Place into the biohazard waste bag. Remove gloves and discard them in the biohazard container.

Wash hands with soap and running water.

Cleaning schedule •  Areas in which regular contamination may be expected will be  cleaned daily as well as after each known contamination. Cleaning schedule forms will be provided in each of these areas. •  All other areas will be cleaned following each known contamination.

Section Eight: Information and Clean Up Procedures Continued

Cleanup of Broken glassware Sweep up all broken glass using a broom and dust pan. Do not pick up any broken glassware with fingers, whether  gloves or worn or not.

If the debris is contaminated, dispose of it as sharps using the appropriate procedure.

Finally, disinfect your dustpan and broom if they become  contaminated.

Reusable sharps such as medical devices and instruments Contaminated, reusable sharps will be decontaminated as soon as possible, according to facility policies and procedures.

Disposable contaminated sharps •  Contaminated sharps will be discarded immediately at the site of use in containers that are close-able, puncture resistant, leak proof, and labeled as to use. Secondary containers will be used if initial container is damaged. •  Sharps containers will be placed so they are easily accessible to the area of use. •  Regular inspections will be scheduled to assure replacement of containers before they become overfull.

Section Nine: Maintain Records Proper record keeping is vital in all organizations, but especially when workers may be at risk. At a minimum you should:  1. Track and document each new employee’s date of Bloodborne Pathogens Training and Certification.  2. Track and document each new employee’s Hepatitis B vaccinations or waivers. 3. Track and document all exposure incidents.
