Chemical hazard training content

The written program must define how the employees are to be informed of the requirements of the standard. This will include details of (1) how the employees are to be informed about the contents of the standard (2) the contents of the written plan (3) how they are to meet the labeling requirements (4) how they are to learn of the methods available to them to warn them of exposures (5) how to obtain and interpret a MSDS for a given chemical (6) the hazards associated with the chemicals to which they are exposed (7) how they are to be trained in procedures which will eliminate or reduce these chemical hazards and (8) how they are to react in an emergency.

Section 4.1 consolidates the requirements for general employee information and training on hazardous chemicals in the workplace such as the location, availability and content of material safety data sheets (MSDSs) for the chemicals and chemical products being used or stored, methods to detect the presence of hazardous chemicals, personal protective measures, the details of the workplace hazard communications program, etc. [Pg.322]

Some cylinders have contents that change their chemical characteristic over time (decompose, polymerize, etc.). Examples include 1,3-butadiene, hydrogen bromide and diborane. These changes may eventually result in overpressurization that exceeds the specification of the cylinder. This situation renders the cylinder unsafe for transport. Contents of cylinders that have become contaminated with foreign material may also result in a chemical reaction causing overpressurization or an explosive hazard. These cylinders should be handled with extreme care and only by specially trained and qualified personnel. [Pg.194]

In general a review form is maintained that provides a training summary. A review form can serve as an inspection guide, SOP template and written CHP template. A form generally includes, but is not limited to the basic content provide in Table II. The basic training explained above will comply with most SOPs and help ensure a high level of safe behavior. The purpose of a review form is to point to further assessments needed for prior approvals and/or particularly hazardous chemicals as discussed below. [Pg.34]
