OSHA Hazard Communication Awareness Training
1OSHA Hazard CommunicationAwareness TrainingINTRODUCTIONFederal rules and regulations that apply to the propane industry are published in a series of books called the Code ofFederal Regulations (CFR). An important section pertaining to the propane industry is OSHA’s Hazard CommunicationStandard, which is found in Title 29 CFR §1910. This regulation is commonly referred to as the “HazCom Standard.”These regulations exist to protect employees of chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and any companywhose work involves hazardous chemicals.After completing this module, you will be able to:n Understand what a Hazardous ChemicalInventory is.nIdentify the new labeling elements required bythe changes to the Hazard CommuncationStandard (HCS).nIdentify the sections of a Safety DataSheet (SDS).nExplain proper labeling procedures.nIdentify the regulatory requirements of youremployer’s written hazard communication program.OSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM

3Lesson 1. Hazardous Chemical InventoryINTRODUCTIONTo protect yourself on the job, you must know whatchemicals are being used or stored by your company.To ensure safety in the workplace, OSHA requiresyour employer to maintain a Hazardous ChemicalInventory, which includes:nnnAll hazardous chemicals known to be present.Hazardous chemicals that may be transportedoff-site.Hazardous chemicals stored away from themain plant.Your employer is also responsible for informing youwhere to find the Hazardous Chemical Inventory atyour workplace, and who is responsible formaintaining the inventory.After completing this lesson, you will be able to:n Identify the different types of chemicalhazards.nExplain how a chemical is placed on theHazardous Chemical Inventory.OSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM
4OSHA Hazard Communication Awareness TrainingDEFINING CHEMICAL HAZARDSAccording to OSHA, a chemical classified ashazardous must have a physical or health hazardassociated with its use. Here is how the two hazardsare defined:Physical HazardA physical hazard results from a chemical’s physicalproperties and immediate risks in handling it. Forexample, certain chemicals may be explosive orflammable and require you to take extra precautionsto avoid sources of ignition.Health HazardA health hazard can make you ill. The effects can beeither immediate, such as a chemical that causes aburn or rash, or they can be long-term or chronic, suchas lung cancer after years of working with asbestos.In some cases, a chemical may present both a physicalhazard and a health hazard. The Hazardous ChemicalInventory is to identify these hazards so you candetermine how to safely handle the chemicals youwork with.OSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM
Lesson 1. Hazardous Chemical Inventory 5HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL INVENTORYThe following steps explain how a chemical is placedon the Hazardous Chemical Inventory:1. The manufacturer or importer evaluates everychemical for hazardous properties.2. The hazards found are listed on container labelsand SDS provided to your company.3. Your company designates someone to reviewthe information and update the HazardousChemical Inventory.Any chemical with a hazard warning label must belisted. There may be one hazardous chemical list for anentire building or separate inventories for each workarea.Some common household chemicals found in theworkplace, such as cleaning solutions, aerosols, andwasp spray, do not have to be listed on the HazardousChemical Inventory. You should, however, always followany safety precautions specific to those chemicals.OSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM

Select theappropriate answer for the following question. Check your work on page 46.Hazardous chemicals stored away from the main plant are not required to be placed in the Hazardous ChemicalInventory?TrueFalseOSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM
7Lesson 2. Safety Data SheetsINTRODUCTIONA Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides information aboutchemical hazards. Anyone who might come intocontact with the hazardous chemical should read aboutpotential dangers and how to safely handle the product.Each chemical is evaluated for potential hazards by themanufacturer or importer. This information is thenplaced on an SDS.The SDS must be readily available in any work areawhere employees handle or may come into contactwith hazardous chemicals.The SDS must be updated when significant changesare made to the chemical compound or previouslyunknown health and physical hazards are discovered.After completing this lesson, you will be able to:n Identify the changes to the SDS under the newHazard Communication Standard (HCS).nIdentify why and how an SDS is used.nIdentify the different sections of an SDS.OSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM
8OSHA Hazard Communication Awareness TrainingTHE PURPOSE OF AN SDSAn SDS is a required document that informs employeesof the chemical nature of materials they work with.SDSs must be easily accessible at all times in any workarea where hazardous materials are present. Yoursupervisor should inform you where the SDSs arelocated and who is responsible for keeping themup-to-date.Read the SDS for each chemical you are using and payspecial attention to the fire, health, and safety risksections. You should also consult your company’sPersonal Protective Equipment (PPE) policy for furtherinformation on how to best protect yourself.Hazardous chemical distributors are required toprovide an SDS upon request. If you cannot find an SDSfor a certain chemical, inform your supervisorimmediately so the missing document can be obtained.HOW TO READ AND UNDERSTANDAN SDSAlthough each SDS may look a bit different, they mustprovide the same information. An SDS must explain, inEnglish, how to safely use, handle, and store ahazardous chemical. Other important safetyinformation is provided on an SDS to protect you andthe people around you. This knowledge can also savevaluable time in the event of an accident or incident.To ensure your safety, it is important to know andunderstand all of the sections of an SDS prior toworking with any hazardous chemical. Let’s revieweach section of an SDS in detail. All SDSs will containthe same basic sections.OSHA & DOT TRAINING PROGRAM
Lesson 2. Safety Data Sheets 9SECTION 1: CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATIONThis section identifies the chemical on the SDS as well as the recommended uses. It also provides the essential contactinformation of the supplier.
