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.


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)


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.


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


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).

1.10 Program Availability PREMIER GROUP Hazard Communication Program is available upon request to:

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.


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


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.

for use on the job site.

Appendix B 43

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.
