2
A common, coherent approach to classifying and communicating chemical hazards
Harmonized definitions of hazards
Specific criteria for labels
Harmonized format for safety data sheets
Product identifierSupplier identifierChemical identityHazard pictograms*Signal words*Hazard statements*Precautionary information
*Standardized
3
Nine pictogramsEight are mandatory for OSHA
Transport Pictograms
A single harmonized hazard statement for each level of hazard within each hazard class
Example: Flammable liquids
Category 1: Extremely flammable liquid and vapour Category 2: Highly flammable liquid and vapour Category 3: Flammable liquid and vapour Category 4: Combustible liquid

Let The Inspection Proceed Ask The Inspector To Wait (1 hr. max.) Require A Warrant To Proceed
Written programs 300 Log Injury data Interview employees Walkthrough of facility Many citations may come from non-targeted items Staffing agency worker training
Follow the operator’s manual
Don’t use “defective equipment”
Review the information on the OSHA web page for extended care facilities and the IOWA web site
Bring in OSHA Consultation

Emergency action Exposure Control Plan Hazard Communication (this has changed) LOTO for maintenance (written procedures) Violence (written program optional) Ergonomics (written program optional)
In writing Fire, Tornado, Where? How notified? Meeting place and account for employees Are employees allowed to use fire
extinguishers? Training

Written program Annual review, annual training, available to

place non sharps in a sharps container Bleach as a disinfectant
39 inspections 95 citations 38 citations under bloodborne pathogens 20 recordkeeping 14 guarding of things that can hurt you 15 electrical LOTO, eye wash, haz. Com., Eye protection, No violence or ergonomic citations
12
Input from non managerial and document Review and update annually Maintain a sharps log Names and qualifications of trainer Hepatitis B made available No written program Copies of written medical opinions
Use 300 and 300A & enter description Enter injury/illness within 7 calendar days on
301 Incident Report and 300 log Add the columns Signed by company executive Keep for at least five years Record needlesticks but not the person’s
name on the 300 log
13
Blocking or storing in front of breaker panels Ground path interrupted – ground pin
missing Openings in boxes Damaged strain relief Damaged extension cords Lockout/Tagout of electrical equipment
Blocked PanelStorage issue Exposed wiring
Unmarked disconnects
14
Openings
How can they sell these if we getcited and fined?Can not tape this damage
Flat cord, light duty useRound cord, hard use
Taping of cuts throughouter jacket not acceptable
15
Damaged strain relief
Missing groundDid it come this way?Is the training effective?
Continuous use of an extension cord
16
Violation, not GFCI’d
Machine guarding Eye wash Hazard communication Lockout/Tag out Eye protection
18
TrainingUsagePPEAnd????
1910.151(c) Where the eyes or
body may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials,
Bleach or concentrates
Test Weekly Do not block Not behind a locked
door!
19
Documented hazard assessment!!! When is it necessary? Safety Glasses - Goggles Operating manuals Material safety data sheets
Inappropriate useSeat belts
Control of hazardous energy Written procedures required if more than one
energy source Training all employees Using the equipment and locks

OSHA requires it One of the top two most frequently cited Average injury results in 17 days away
