Absorption (Skin) - Ability of some chemicals to pass through the skin and enter the
bloodstream - sometimes in amounts sufficient to cause ill effects.
ACGIH - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists; an organization of
professional personnel in governmental agencies or educational institutions engaged in occupational safety and health programs. ACGIH develops and publishes recommended occupational exposure limits for hundreds of chemical substances and physical agents. See TLV.
Acute-.Single, short term, or of high intensity with rapidly developing effects. As a single oral
dose; a short single vapor exposure. ' . * 'h*, -
Acute effect - Those signs and symptoms that may result from short exposures (minutes to hours)
to reb ivelvJiigh levels of a substance.
Adverse effect - Harmful effects. -
Aerosol - A'suspension of extremely fine solid particles (dust) or liquid droplets (mist) in air.-'

The IHG does not represent a fine line between safe and unsafe exposure levels. The IHG may be internally developed or based on an outside source (TLV for example) but it is usually less than or equal to the values proposed by outside sources.
Inflammation - A local response to cellular injury that is marked by capillary dilation, white

In the event of an emergency in our block, we have a method for accounting for everyone presently in our plant. If you are not permanently assigned to our block, then you must sign in and out as a visitor upon arrival and departure. There are two visitor's logs in the Glycol One plant. If you are a visitor coming into Bldg. 1503, then you must sign in and out of the visitor's log in office #108. If you are a contractor coming into our block for work, please sign into and out-of the visitor's log book in the Safe Work Permit Office on the east side of the control room, in Bldg. 1503.. This is very important and is intended for your safety.
The permit office is also where you must sign on and sign-off of Red Tag Masters.
All vessels that contain material that may be a hazard to personnel or the environment have a means of secondary containment in the event the primary were to fail. This has been accomplished by means of dike walls and sumps. All containment areas within the plant drain to the pond which can also be isolated in the event of a spill. If you are involved in a spill or witness a spill, please contact the control room immediately.
Glycol One does have some piping that is insulated with asbestos insulation. These lines are clearly identified by the labels which state "Contains Asbestos Fibers"
