1.2 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
The OSHA hazard communication standard goes into effect for all workers May 23, 1988. It
requires sub-contractors to:
1. Identify all chemicals used on the work site
2. Acquire a file of material safety data sheets (MSDS)
3. Write a hazard communication program stating how requirements will be met
4. Provide general manager access to the material safety data sheet file and the written
hazard communications program
4 OSHA Standard Handbook
5. Train workers who will work on the site in:
a. the requirements of the standard
b. what a material safety data sheet is and its terms
c. the company’s written hazard communications program
d. specific hazards of each chemical or category of chemicals on the site
e. the location and detection of and the emergency response for each chemical or
category of chemicals
6. Maintain good records of training given
7. Maintain control of new chemicals and training of new workers before either are
introduced to the work place
8. Establish a communications system for other contractors on the work site
1.3 Purpose, Approach, and Application Purpose
The purpose of this Hazard Communication Program is to inform our workers of all potential or
existing chemical hazards.
Approach
The method used to inform workers include:
Container labeling and other forms of warning
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s)
Employee education and training
Application
This hazard communication program applies to:
Known occupational safety and health hazards
Chemicals known to be present in the workplace in such a manner that workers may be
exposed under normal conditions of use or in a foreseeable emergency
Hazard Communication 5
1.4 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Labeling
MSDS’s are in English and contain the following information:
The identity of the chemical
The physical and chemical characteristics
The physical and health hazards
Primary routes of entry
Exposure limits
Precautions for safe handling
Controls to limit exposure
Emergency and first aid procedures
Name of manufacturer or distributor
MSDS Availability
PREMIER GROUP maintains copies of all MSDS's for each hazardous material in the
workplace and makes them readily accessible during each work shift to workers when they are in
their work area(s). Workers may review the MSDS's for the materials they work with at the time,
while they are in their work area. They also may request a copy of an MSDS if they wish. Copies
of MSDS's for materials used in each work area are maintained in that work area, during all
shifts. Upon request, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and
OSHA have access to our MSDS's.
Determining Chemical Hazards
PREMIER GROUP is responsible for identifying chemical hazards from material safety data
sheets (MSDS’s) provided by chemical manufacturers and distributors.

Hazard Communication 7
1.6 Definitions
Chemical Family
Metals/Compressed Gases
Definition: Metals may be found as a solid or fume if heated. A compressed gas is any
material under pressure. The pressure may be low or high, depending on the
material. A compressed gas may be an inert material (argon, hydrogen),
corrosive, solvent, or a metal.
Examples: Acetylene (welding)
Argon (welding)
Oxygen (welding)
Cadmium (welding rod)
Silver (welding rod)
Uses: On a construction site, metals and compressed gases are used in welding. Metals
are used on ductwork, piping, and framing.
Dangers: (Compressed Gases) Compressed gases may possess the same toxicity as the
material in another physical form or may be more toxic. Compressed gases are
dangerous if released too fast. Some gases are flammable. Some gases displace
oxygen and act as an asphyxiant.
Handling:
May require goggles and respirator. Special ventilation normally required for
welding. Special handling required for the toxic metals or their alloys.
Storage: Store compressed gases in a cool dry place, out of the sun – especially important.
Some gases must be separated due to flammability, toxicity, or incompatibility.
Valves must be protected; full and empty cylinders must be marked. Metals have
no special storage requirements. Stored metal dust must be kept dry and away
from ignition source.
First Aid: Depends on metal and its physical form. Some metals do not act on the body for
several hours after exposure.
For compressed gases, first aid is typically the same as the material in its other
forms.
8 OSHA Standard Handbook
Chemical Family
Solvents
Definition: A liquid capable of dissolving one or more materials without undergoing a
chemical reaction. Can be identified by its pain-like, sweet odor. Solvents are
liquids.
Examples: Perchloreothylene (degreaser)
Toluene (paint thinner)
Dichloreothane (adhesive)
Xylenes (paints)
Methylene Chloride (paint stripper)
Uses: Cleaning oils, greases and resins. Found in paints, varnishes, polishes and
adhesives.
Dangers: Inhaling the vapor may cause lack of coordination or damage to the liver, kidneys,
nervous system. Solvents may irritate the skin or be absorbed through the skin.
Solvents may be flammable.
Handling: May require gloves, apron, goggles, respirator. Special ventilation may be
required. Be sure that the proper protective equipment is used. There is no one
respirator that can be used for solvents.
Storage: Cool dry place out of the sun. Separate corrosives from solvents. May require
special ventilation and grounding.
First Aid: Wash the contacted area for 15 minutes with cold water and seek medical aid. If
ingested or inhaled, see medical aid.
Chemical Family
Corrosives
Definition: Acid or alkali. A metal that can attack metal or human tissue, such as mucus
membrane, etc. Can be found as a liquid and a solid. Chemical names may
include “acid” or “hydroxide.”
Examples: Muriatic Acids (masons)
Hydrochloric Acid (wood workers and plumbers)
Hazard Communication 9
Oxalic Acid (wood workers)
Potassium Hydroxide (painters)
Sodium Hydroxide (plumbers)
Uses: Clean finishes, bleaches
Dangers: Very irritating to the skin and eyes. Can cause severe burns. Toxic vapors can be
given off when mixing a corrosive with an incompatible material. Fumes may be
irritating to breathe.
Handling: May require gloves, apron, goggles, and respirator. Special ventilation may be
required.
Storage: Cool, dry place out of sun. Separate acids from alkalis.
First Aid: Wash contacted area for 15 minutes with cold water and seek medical aid.
Labels and Other Forms of Warnings
Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors provide labels, tags, or other markings for
containers of hazardous chemicals. This identification includes the following information:
Identity of the hazardous chemical.
Appropriate hazard warnings.
Name and address of the chemical manufacturer, distributor, or other responsible parties.
PREMIER GROUP requires that containers of hazardous materials in the workplace are labeled,
tagged or marked with the identity of the hazardous chemical and appropriate hazard warning.
Occasionally, signs, placards, process sheets, batch tickets, operating procedures, or similar
accessible written materials are used, instead of affixing labels to individual containers.
Portable containers of hazardous chemicals do not have to be labeled if they contain chemicals
transferred from labeled containers, which are intended only for the immediate use of the
employee who performs the transfer.
All labels on incoming containers must not be defaced in any way. Missing or defaced labels
must be immediately reported to Finishing Supervisors so appropriate labels can be reapplied
immediately.
10 OSHA Standard Handbook
1.7 Employee Information, Education, and Training
Any information, education, and training program is provided by PREMIER GROUP to make
sure workers know about hazardous chemicals in the workplace and the appropriate control
measures to reduce exposure to them. This program is coordinated by PREMIER GROUP.
New workers receive appropriate safety and health information, education, and training during
their initial assignment. This training includes information about hazardous materials and
processes in the workplace through the use of printed materials and classroom instruction.
New employee safety and health training program begins upon hire by the personnel department
and continues with on-site training by the new employee’s department supervision. The specific
information in the safety and health training includes:
General chemical hazards
Hazards associated with non-routine tasks
Recognition, evaluation, and control of hazardous chemicals
Chemical labeling
Hazards associated with unlabeled piping and processing systems
MSDS’s
Access to information on hazardous chemicals
Compliance with safety and health rules and regulations
Requirements of Federal Hazard Communication Regulations
Specific hazards present in the work areas
The location and availability of the written Hazard Communication Program and all
supporting information
The measures workers can take to protect themselves from hazards, including pertinent
work practices, company emergency procedures, and personal protective equipment
All workers are informed by supervision concerning the PREMIER GROUP Hazard
Communication Program and an explanation of the company's labeling system, MSDS's and how
appropriate hazard information may be obtained by workers.
Retraining
It is necessary for work area supervision to provide additional employee training concerning
workplace hazards when:
New materials or processes are introduced into the workplace
Hazard Communication 11
Process or equipment changes are made that could cause new or increased employee
exposure
Procedures or work practices are introduced, or changed, which could cause changes in
the workers’ exposure
Workers are transferred from one work area to another where different hazards are
present
A permanent record of all workers training is maintained in the employee’s personnel folder.
1.8 Non-Routine Tasks The supervisor of an employee performing a non-routine task, such as cleaning process
equipment, is responsible for properly training the employee concerning the potential hazards
associated with the task. The employee also shares in this responsibility by making sure that
his/her immediate supervisor knows that the non-routine task will be performed.
1.9 Contractor All contractors working on company property are notified by company management of
hazardous materials to which the contractor’s workers will be exposed to while working on
company property. Also, proper controls will be established to ensure that PREMIER GROUP
operations do not expose the contractor’s workers to safety and health hazards. Copies of
MSDS’s for all materials the contractor’s workers may be exposed to will be provided to the
contractor by (management).

SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: BONDS SKIN IN SECONDS
MAY CAUSE EYE AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND
VAPOR
ROUTES OF ENTRY: oral, dermal, inhalation
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Irritating to the eyes. Causes excessive tearing. Eyelids may bond.
SKIN: Bonds skin in seconds. May cause skin irritation.
Cyanoacrylates have been reported to cause allergic reaction but due to rapid polymerization at
the skin surface, an allergic reaction is rare. Cyanoacrylates generate heat on solidification. In
rare circumstances, a large drop will burn the skin. Cured adhesive does not present a health
hazard even if bonded to the skin.
30 OSHA Standard Handbook
INGESTION: Not expected to be harmful by ingestion. Rapidly polymerizes (solidifies) and
bonds in mouth. It is almost impossible to swallow.
INHALATION: Exposure to vapors above established exposure limit results in
respiratory irritation which may lead to difficulty in breathing and tightness in the chest.
RTD20000394AA
Section 3: Physical and Chemical Properties
No data
Section 4: First Aid Measures
EYES: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. If
eyelids are bonded closed, release eyelashes with warm water by covering with a wet pad. Do
not force eye open. Cyanoacrylate will bond to eye protein and will cause a lachrymatory effect,
which will help to debond the adhesive. Keep eye covered until debonding is complete, usually
within 1-3 days. Medical attention should be sought in case solid particles of polymerized
cyanoacrylate trapped behind the eyelid cause abrasive damage.
SKIN: Do not pull bonded skin apart. Soak in warm soapy water. Gently peel apart using a blunt
instrument. If skin is burned due to the rapid generation of heat by a large drop, seek medical
attention. If lips are bonded, apply warm water to the lips and encourage wetting and pressure
from saliva in mouth. Peel or roll lips apart. Do not pull lips apart with direct opposing force.
INGESTION: Ensure breathing passages are not obstructed. The product will polymerize rapidly
and bond to the mouth making it almost impossible to swallow. Saliva will separate any
solidified product in several hours. Prevent the patient from swallowing by separating mass.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If discomfort persists seek medical attention.

Having a housekeeping plan can prevent and solve a multitude of problems on the job. Also, having a plan before a problem arises is even better. There are many “hidden” dangers on the job that having a housekeeping plan can help to address and avoid.
Slipping on unclean surfaces
Tripping over debris or other
residue
Tripping on loose cords or tools
Being hit by falling objects
A well-made housekeeping plan will
make your work environment much
more organized. The following are
some benefits of having good
housekeeping:
Less accidents
Cleaner area to work in
An increase in productivity
Minimal cleanup at the end of a
project
Housekeeping requires that you
create an organized flow to your
work environment. Assessing your
work area and all hazards or
dangers is one of the first steps in
creating a housekeeping plan.

Appendix B 45
ELECTRICAL SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES
OHSA requires that no employee work in proximity to energized electrical conductors or circuit parts operation at 50 volts or more. Furthermore, an employer cannot allow an employee to work in an environment where hazards are rampant. Employees should regard all wires as live and dangerous if they have not been locked out, tagged, and grounded or guarded effectively by insulation or other means.
There are many ways an employee can injure themselves on site. Below are some of the most frequent causes of electrical injuries:
Contact with power lines
Failure to de-energize electric
circuits and equipment before
working on them
Lack of ground-fault protection
Path to ground is missing or
discontinuous
Equipment not being used in
the manner prescribed
Improper use of extension and
flexible cords
Hazardous conditions such as inadequate lighting, defective equipment, poor access, fatigue, and environmental factors like heat and cold can also be contributing factors.
Every employer needs to have an electrical safety program in place. An electrical safety program can minimize hazards and reduce employee exposure to dangerous conditions.
INJURIES
PREMIER GROUP Job Site Electrical Safety Responsibilities
Job site electricity is an important concern during the construction phase of every project. Employees can be exposed to electrical hazards while working on a jobsite. Electricity on a jobsite can come from generators, temporary power sources, and existing power sources. Care must be taken when working on or near energized parts, when using electricity in damp or wet conditions, when using extension cords and power tools, and during excavation because of unknown underground power sources.

PROGRAM
Appendix B 47
SAFETY PROGRAM AND TRAINING RESPONSIBILITIES
The general contractor is in charge of the overall safety for his/her workers when they are working on the jobsite. It is his/her responsibility to provide a workplace free of potential hazards. The general contractor must also establish a jobsite safety program. It is his/her duty to monitor the workers and ensure that they are all following the rules and regulations of the jobsite safety program.
The sub-contractors are responsible for the following:
Participate in the safety program established by the general contractor.
Establish his/her own safety program to add to the original safety program.
Discuss procedures and issues with the general contractor about the safety program.
Coordinate activities with general contractor and other sub-contractors.
The general contractor may delegate safety responsibilities and other construction tasks to sub-contractors. However, the overall safety of the workers, as well as the monitoring of the jobsite safety program for the workers, remains to be the sole responsibility of the general contractor. The general contractor can never relinquish full responsibility to a sub-contractor when it comes to the safety of his workers.
