committed to providing all of its employees with a safe and healthy
work environment. It is a matter of company policy to provide our
employees with information about hazardous chemicals on the
worksite through our hazard communication program, which includes
container labeling.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and
employee information/traini-ng.
Ms. Belia Cortez (Site Managerl and Mr. Dub Garnett (Environmental Project Manager will have the overall responsibility for coordinating the hazard communication program for Union Carbide's Brownsville. Texas Facility. Ms. Cortez and/or Mr. Garnett will make our written hazard communication program available, upon request, to employees, their designated representatives, the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health and the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
LIST OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS
Mr. Garnett will compile a list of all hazardous chemicals that
will be used on the worksite by reviewing container labels and
Material Safety Data Sheets.
The list will be updated as
necessary. It will be kept by Mr. Garnett in his office in the
bookcase and will be readily available for any employee or
contractor as needed. (See attached list of hazardous chemicals.)
LABELING
It is the policy of this company to ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals on a jobsite is properly labeled. The labels will list:
o The contents of the container o Appropriate hazard warnings; and o The name and address of the manufacturer, importer or other
responsible party
To further ensure that employees are aware of the chemical hazards of materials used in their work areas, it is our policy to label all secondary containers. Secondary containers will be labeled with either an extra copy of the manufacturer's label, or with a sign or generic label that lists the container's contents and appropriate hazard warnings.
This responsibility has been assigned to Mr. Dub Garnett.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Copies of Material Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous chemicals
to which employees may be exposed are kept in the bookcase located
in Mr. Dub Garnett's office and are readily accessible to employees
in the work area during each work day.
Mr. Dub Garnett is
responsible for obtaining, maintaining and updating the file to
Material Safety Data Sheets.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Employees are to attend a training sesion on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial work assignment. The training sesion will cover the following:
o An overview of the hazard communication requirements o A review of the chemicals present in their workplace
operations. o The location and availability of our written communication
program, a list of hazardous chemicals and Material Safety Data Sheets. o Methods and observation techniques that may be used to detect the presence or release of hazardous chemicals in the work area. o The physical hazards of the chemicals in the work area. o The health hazards of the chemicals in the work area, including signs and symptons of exposure and any medical condition known to be aggravated by exposure to the chemical. o How to lessen or prevent exposure to hazardous workplace chemicals by using good work practices, personal protective equipment, etc. o Emergency procedures to follow if employees are exposed to hazardous chemicals. o An explanation of our hazard communication program, including how to read labels and Material Safety Data Sheets to obtain appropriate hazard information.
When a new type of product is introduced into a work area or the chemical composition of a product changes, Mr. Dub Garnett will review the above items as they are related to the new chemicals.
NON-ROUTINE TASKS
Periodically employees are required to perform non-routine tasks. Prior to starting work on such projects, each affected employee will be informed by Mr, Dub Garnett about hazards to which they may be exposed and appropriate protective and safety measures.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAM
Our employee training program has been developed on the basis of groups or types of hazardous chemicals used and the common hazards associated with the group or type of chemicals. (See the chapter in this manual entitled "Common Hazards on Construction Sites.") For specific hazard information on individual substances, the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) must be reviewed.
The training will cover the following:
1. An overview of the hazard communication requirements. 2. A review of the chemicals present on jobsites 3. The location, availability and contents of our written
hazard communication program and MSDSs. 4. How to detect the release or presence of hazardous
chemicals in the work area. 5. Physical and health hazards of the chemicals in the
work area. 6. How to lessen or prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals
by using good work practices, personal protective equipment, etc. 7. Emergency and first aid procedures. 8. How to read labels and MSDSs to obtain hazard information. 9. The location of MSDSs.
OVERVIEW OF THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS
The Hazard Communication Standard (HAZCOM) is intended to ensure that both employers and employees are aware of potential hazards associated with chemicals in their work places.
CHEMICALS ON JOBSITES
We use a variety of products. Many of these products contain one or more hazardous chemicals. Most of the products we use can be grouped by their basic function or use. We will discuss which products fit in each group and will identify the associated hazards and how to detect and control them through engineering or administrative controls, as well as through the use of personal protective equipment. A list of the chemicals potentially found on our sites is attached to our written hazard communication program.
WRITTEN HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
We have a written program that outlines how we will provide you with information about hazardous workplace chemicals. It is our company policy on hazardous substances. Among other things, it includes:
o a list of hazardous substances on our jobsites o our procedures for maintaining MSDSs o our employee training program o a statement outlining how information will be exchanged
among contractors on our worksites
PHYSICAL AND HEALTH HAZARDS OF WORKPLACE CHEMCIALS
You will be trained about the hazards of chemicals in your work areas. The training will include the following information:
o the measures you can take to protect yourself from the hazards;
o our company procedures that provide you with protections, such as work practices, personal protective equipment, engineering controls, etc.
o the physical and health effects of the (groups) of chemicals; o how to detect the presence of a chemical; and o general emergency and first aid procedures
HOW TO READ LABELS AND MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Labels: you should read product labels before working with a hazardous substance. Each label will have the identity of the hazardous chemical and a hazard warning. Original container labels will also have the name and address of the manufacturer.
The label should serve as a reminder of the information we are presenting in this training session and of the information found in no more detail on the Material Safety Data Sheet.
It is essential that you read the hazard warning and use the chemical as prescribed by the label. If you have questions about a specific label, ask your supervisor or refer to the MSDSs.
Material Safety Data Sheets: MSDSs provide a great deal of information about the chemicals we use. The chemical manufacturers are responsible for providing us the MSDSs. MSDSs for chemicals potentially found on our worksites are available from Mr. Dub SarpAtt,------- the,material__ Safety Data Sheets are located in his Qf-f.tS.Qi

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a new standard which affects every single contractor and builder in the construction industry. The rule is called the Hazard Communication Standard (or "HazCom" for short), and it requires all contractors to educate their employees about the hazardous chemicals they are exposed to in the work place and the methods necessary to protect themselves.
Many contractors are under the mistaken impression that they don't have many hazardous chemicals in the work place, but the term "hazardous chemical" applies to every thing from paint to concrete to wood dust Contractors also will be very unused to complying with a "performancebased" regulation such as HazCom. Unlike other OSHA standards which generally require contractors to follow certain guidelines to ensure a safe workplace, HazCom will require contractors to inventory the chemicals used by their own employees and then train them about the dangers associated with those chemicals.
While it is natural for most business owners to put off dealing with government regulations, the time has come for hazard communication. Considering the construction industry's past problems with such substances as asbestos, hazard communication--done properly--oould save you thousands of dollars in fines and protect you from possible liability suits from your employees. Compliance with HazCom will not be a simple task and will require a commitment of your time. Above all, you must make a good faith effort to comply and be prepared to document it.
' This manual has been designed with the construction contractor in mind, and the sample programs and forms have been designed for the average construction firm. Don't let the subject matter intimidate you. While HazCom was designed to protect your employees, this manual was designed to help you comply with as few headaches as possible.
What am / required to do? You will need to train all employees who may be
exposed to hazardous chemicals about the dangers assoc iated with those chemicals and the protective measures they need to take. Under HazCom, there are four major elements of compliance:
1. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) 2. Labels 3. Employee Training 4. A Written Hazard Communication Program
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) Your first step toward compliance is to make sure you
have an MSDS for every hazardous substance you use. Since September 1987, you should have been receiving MSDSs with every shipment of hazardous substances. (See - the chapter entitled "Common Hazards on Construction Sites") It is the responsibility of suppiiers/distributors to provide MSDSs with the products they are selling. Nonethe less, you still may have trouble getting the MSDSs from suppliers who are unaware of their responsibilities. If you don't receive an MSDS with a shipment, it's your responsi bility to ask for one.
How do you know if a product requires an MSDS? If it is tagged or labeled with any key words such as "danger." "caution," "flammable," "warning," etc., that is a signal to you to get an MSDS from the supplier. Put any requests to a supplier for an MSDS in writing. This will be part of your good faith effort to comply should you get inspected by OSHA. (See the chapter entitled "Sample Forms and Letters")
In order to simplify this process, you may want to designate one employee to coordinate your compliance efforts. That person should set up a system to collect all incoming MSDSs and set up an easily understood filing and retrieval system. Without an organized system, you could easily be overwhelmed with paper. The MSDSs will vary in length from two to twenty pages, depending on the make-up of the substance. These documents should give you a complete breakdown on the hazards associated with the products you are using and will be a key to effective employee training. (See the chapter entitled "How to Read and Understand an MSDS")
One note of caution if your supplier lends to be a retail outlet, such as a hardware store or a lumber yard: retailers only have to supply MSDSs to customers who have commercial accounts. For all other customers, the retailer must supply the address and telephone number of the manufacturer from which an MSDS can be obtained. It will be a smart move to get into the habit of automatically asking for MSDSs with your purchases if you have a commercial account or the address and telephone number if you don't have an account. Once you have an MSDS on a product, though, it's not necessary to get one with every shipment of that product. You only need to obtain another one if the chemical make-up of the product changes.
OSHA does urge all employers who have difficulty obtaining MSDSs from suppliers and/or manufacturers to
As noted m theforeword to this manual the participating associations are presently involvedin a legalchallenge to the Hatard Communication Standard Pending the resolution ofthis htiganon. the participating associations make no warranty that the information contained herein will necessarily he accepted by OSHA
contict their local OSHA office for assistance. Again, keep careful documentation of all correspondence with suppliers and manufacturers, as well as correspondence with your local OSHA office.
Once all of your MSDSs have been assembled, you must keep copies of them at a central location on all jobsites, such as trailers or trades. All employees must be made aware of the location and be given access to the MSDSs upon request They are for their benefit as well as yours.
Labels You will also need to make sure that every incoming
hazardous product has a label identifying the chemical with appropriate hazard warnings. You will be able to use the MSDSs and the labels as a check on one another. If a product has a warning label, but no MSDS or vice versa, you will need to request either the label or MSDS from the supplier. As with MSDSs, make sure all requests for labels are carefully documented.
Labels on the products must be in English, easily understandable, and not defaced. The product labels will essentially be a synopsis of the MSDSs, but they should never be considered to be a substitute for MSDSs. The label will be the employee's immediate source of information, with the MSDS as a backup.
If a hazardous substance is transferred into a portable container to be used by several employees or on several shifts, each portable container must be appropriately labeled with the hazard information from its source. For instance, if paint is transferred from a large drum into smaller containers which are not labeled, then you must label those containerswith the hazard warnings from the drum. However, if the person making the transfer is going to use the substance immediately, no labeling is required on the portable container.
When you review the labels, determine whether your employees will understand the symbols and terminology used. You will need to provide an explanation of the labeling system to your employees during training. It's a good bet if you can't figure it out, then your employees won't be able to either, so contact the supplier or manufac turer for assistance. Should an emergency occur, the label will be the first thing the employee looks at, so it should say what to do in an emergency. The word "danger" on the label, without more explanation, won't help after an accident occurs.
Employee Training Once you have your MSDS and labeling system in place,
you'll need to transmit this information to your employees. Who has to be trained? Remember, you must inform
and train not only those employees actually exposed to hazardous substances during their routine job duties, but also any employee who could potentially be exposed from unexpected releases or emergency situations. For example, an employee who only handles sealed containers of chemi
cals and normally would not be exposed, may become exposed to a hazard if the container leaks or spills. Likewise, an office worker may not be exposed to hazards in the office, but may be exposed if he or she routinely goes on site to deliver messages, etc.
Generally, office personnel will not be required to be trained, since office products are not classified as hazardous substances. However, if there is an employee who is principally responsible for the copying machine and handles the chemicals associated with it, then they would have to be trained about the dangers.
To actually train your employees-about the hazards of every site they are working on may seem like a monumental task, particularly if you have hundreds of chemicals. You are allowed to train your employees by chemical categories (See the chapter entitled "Employee Training.")You are not expected to have a chemist's knowledge about hazard ous substances. Your task is to make your employees aware of what they are working with. That means telling them:
1. How to spot hazards; 2. What the physical and health hazards are of that
chemical (See the chapter "Common Hazards on Construction Sites."); 3. What they need to do to protect themselves; 4. What they need to do in an emergency: 5. The location and content of your company's written hazard communication program (to be discussed next). You or your designated representative must train employ ees before they are exposed to a hazardous substance. Even if an employee says he was trained already on the substance by another employer, you should do it again since he is now your employee and your responsibility. You should also stress to your employees that they have an important role in making this program work. It may be wise to conduct the training right after an employee has completed his tax and immigration forms, and then have him "signoff" that he has received the hazard communication training. (See the chapter entitled "Sample Forms and Letters.*')
Written Hazard Communication Program Under HazCom, you are also required to have a written
hazard communication program for your company. This is also very important because during an OSHA inspection, it is likely to be one of the first things the inspector is going to ask to see. Essentially, the written program is a description of everything you are doing to comply with HazCom. It must also be made available to employees and employee representatives should they ask to see it. The written program has to be maintained at all of your jobsites.
Basically, the written program must outline how you are going to meet your MSDS, labeling and training responsibil ities. (See chapter entitled "Sample Written Hazard Com munication Program") Your written program must also contain your inventory list of chemicals used on your jobsites. You need to reference them as they appear on the MSDS, but, for your own understanding, you may want to
-) DE 008366
list the chemical ind common names of the substances. This will help with any updating you will eventually need to do. The program must also deal with how you will meet your responsibilities on multi-employer jobsites, i.e. most construction sites.
What are my responsibilities to other contractors on site?
Probably the most difficult part of compliance for contractors will be the multi-employer worksite require ments of HazCom. This provision requires you to inform your employees about the hazards they may be exposed to by other contractors working on the same site.
Under the multi-employer requirements, you must obtain from other contractors working in the same area of the site at the same time as your employees:
1. The MSDSs for the products the other contractors are using around your employees or find out the location of their MSDSs on site;
2. An explanation of the labeling system other contractors are using;
3. Information about the precautionary measures your employees need to take to protect themselves during normal operating conditions and in emergencies. The coordination of this process will be left to the individual contractors, but it may be wise to try and find out who the other contractors will be on a jobsite before work begins. You should then contact those other contractors and ask them for the appropriate information. U will probably be easier to make contact before a job begins because employees of different contractors are always coming and going once the job
begins. In addition, you must include this information in your own training of your employees, and the steps you take to comply with the multi-employer require ments must be outlined in your written hazard com munication program. (See the chapter entitled "Sample Written Hazard Communication Program")
Is that all? Hazard communication isn't a one-shot deal. This is
going to be an ongoing process as long as you are in business. Considering the nnmfrftt employees who pass through this, industry, you' wili probably bey..->conducting employee training fairly frequently. In addi tion, every time a new hazard is introduced in the workplace, you will also need to do training on that substance.The same is true if a product's chemical make-up changes. You'll know when that happens because your supplier should send a new MSDS on the product.
Ail contractors will be relying on one another to get the appropriate information to train their own employees. If you don't prepare your own company, you'll run the risk of forcing other contractors into non-compliance
The following chapters will help you develop your hazard communication program by discussing each of the main elements in more detail. In addition, there will be helpful hints and answers to the many questions that will no doubt come to mind. Once you have gone through the manual, you'll then want to read the "What If..." chapter, which will help you anticipate problems on die jobsite.

CHAPTER TWO
Common Hazards on Construction Sites
One of the most time-consuming tasks you will face in getting your company ready for HazCom will be trying to inventory all the chemicals that you use. Trades that use fewer hazardous substances will find the process easier. Since no contractor, even one in the same trade, will be using the same products as another, there is no standard method or shortcut for doing the inventory.
How Do I Know What Hazardous Chemicals / Use?
Builders and contractors are not required to determine which of their products are covered by HazCom. Hazard determination is the responsibility of the product's manu facturer, distributor or importer. If a product is accompanied by a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), then you are on notice that it is made up of one or more hazardous chemicals. Another due is if the label contains any of the key "danger" words such as "caution," "flammable," "warning," "corrosive," "irritant," "toxic," etc. If you spot such words, you should already have an MSDS for the product If not contact the supplier or manufacturer for one. For each one of these products, you will need to identify.
1. How to spot the presence or release of the chemicai(s); 2. Any physical or health hazards associated with it 3. Any protective measures an employee needs to take
while working with the product 4. Emergency procedures necessary in case of an accident
All of this information can be found on the MSDS accompanying the product However, since some MSDSs can be quite lengthy, you may have to sort through some of the excess information that manufacturers may supply on the forms. When you review the hazards of the products you are using, you should note the difference between a physical and a health hazard. A substance presents a physical hazard if it is flammable, explosive or reactive. A substance presents a health hazard if exposure to it can cause acute (immediate) or chronic Gong-term) health problems in a person exposed to it This may seem like an enormous amount of information if you're dealing with hundreds of products that can be potentially classified as "hazardous." Indeed, it will be a time-consuming task, but it won't be necessary to go through all of this information on each substance when you train your employees. OSHA does allow you to train in categories and most of your products will fan into a few categories. In other words, many products will be handled in the same manner. However, many products will also fall into more than one
category, so you need to make sure you include it in each discussion of every category it fits in.
Once you have identified which of the products you use are hazardous, you should be able to classify them in categories. Generally, most hazardous substances used on construction sites will fall into one or more of the following categories:
1. Flammables and combustibles 2. Compressed gases 3. Toxins (Systemic poisons, dusts, fumes, corrosives,
irritants)
Flammables and Combustibles Obviously the main physical hazards posed by prodv ts
in this category are their ability to cause fires and-or explosions. Some of the most obvious examples are kerosene, gasoline and alcohol, but there are also unfamiliar chemicals which also fall into this category, such as heptane, benzene and acetone. Many times these unfamiliar names are present in common products such as paints, glues and sealants. These products could also present health hazards as well, if there is prolonged exposure.
When you discuss the flammable nature of products in this category while training your employees, you should particularly discuss which ones present bigger threats. In addition, you should wam them about tools or actions that may ignite flammable products such as welding tools, torches or cigarette smoking.
It is also important to instruct employees about the proper ventilation necessary when using these products and the importance of cleaning up spills quickly. You should also note that some flammables give off invisible vapors which can accumulate and/or travel (example: certain types of glues). These vapors can be ignited by sparks or beat, such as from power tools, and can cause serious injury and damage.
Compressed Gases Of all the hazardous substances present on construction
sites, compressed gases are the easiest to spot because they are packaged in steel cylinders. Generally, products such as oxygen, LP gas, freon and hydrogen are packaged as compressed gases. One of the biggest dangers of compressed gases involves damage to those cylinders. If the valve stem of a cylinder breaks or is sheared ofT, the cylinder could literally take ofT like a rocket or a torpedo. In addition, some compressed gases may present a fire hazard if their cylinders leak. Others may actually remove oxygen from the air. It is important to read the individual labels and
As noted in theforeword to this manual, the participating associations are presently involved in a fetal challenge to the Haiard Communication Standard Pending the resolunon of this brigaaon. the pamcipanng essocunons make no warranty that the information contained herein hiIt necessanh he accepted hi OSHA
DE 008368
MSDSs on compressed gases. When training employees on compressed gases, they should be informed about the potential hazards and the proper storage, handling and emergency procedures associated with these gases.
Toxins Toxins are a general dass of substances which can pose a
health hazard to those using them. However,just because a substance is toxic, this does not automatically mean it is a
significant health threat A toxin is any substance which
may harm the body, but it is important to consider the concentration of the chemical and the length of exposure. The MSDS accompanying toxins should tell you the acceptable limits of exposure, and that is the key to proper usage without harm to the employee.
Toxins should not be grouped into one massive category, because of the sheer number of them present on construction sites and their wide variety. Your particular trade may require additional categories for products unique to your trade, but toxins can usually be grouped in the following classes:
1. Systemic Poisons 2. Corrosives 3. Irritants, Dusts and Fumes
Systemic Poisons A systemic poison is a chemical which can cause serious
damage to an organ or system of the body, such as the liver or nervous system. Exposure to these substances is usually through breathing, but they can also be swallowed or absorbed through the skin.
Systemic poisons are often in the form of harmful vapors and gases and, when they are breathed in by an employee, can pass through the lungs and into the blood stream, thereby attacking an organ or system of the body. The most deadly aspect about many of these poisons is that it may take years for the employee to experience the side effects. That is why it is important for employees to take precautionary measures when working with them. . Systemic poisons can have more immediate and notice able effects if an employee should accidentally get them on his skin. This can occur with many solvents used on construction sites. The poison may pass through the skin and into the body. In addition, you should also caution employees about the effects of swallowing these poisons. This can happen if employees don't carefully wash them selves before eating, drinking or smoking.
Corrosives A product is a corrosive if it falls into the group of
chemicals which damage the body on contact. The most obvious example for construction is the assortment of acids used in many trades, btjt simple items such as cleaning products and paint remover can also be corrosives. Wet concrete also is a skin corrosive.
The most important points to stress when training employees about corrosives are how to eliminate exposures and how to wear protective gear which guards the skin,
lung, nasal passages, and the eyes. Emergency procedures should also be emphasized because of the immediate effects of corrosives should there be an accident. These precautions should also be stated on the labels of the products.
Irritants, Dusts and Fumes Of all of the toxins, irritants are the least harmful but
damaging nonetheless. Like systemic poisons, irritants can have a harmful effect on the lungs and other organs. Like corrosives, they also can have a harmful effect on skin and eyes. Generally, a product is an irritant instead of a poison or corrosive if it is in a smaller quantity or concentration.
Employees should take the same precautions against irritants as they do with poisons and corrosives, and training should stress proper protective gear and adequate ventilation. As with all toxins, employees should stop work immediately if they feel ill when they are working with these products. They should then check the label of the product they are working with for first aid information.
Wood dust, sand and cement give off deadly dusts which can then accumulate in the lungs and nose and damage the eyes. These are nuisance dusts, but some can cause chronic health problems. It is important that employees know of protective gear they should wear when performing oper ations such as sanding, grinding and mixing. In some cases involving systemic poisons, gloves and/or respirators may be necessary. As always, the best reference will be the MSDS. In addition, you will need to indude these dusts and fumes in your inventory list of hazardous products attached to your written HazCom program.
Are There Any Substances / Can Exclude from Training?
In general, there are two classes of products which don't have to be included in your hazard communication train ing: articles and consumer products. However, these exemp tions have been carefully and narrowly crafted by OSHA. So before you assume anything is exempted from the standard, take careful note of the following definitions of these exemptions.
Articles An article is generally a solid product which is already in
its end form when it is used on a construction site and doesn't release hazardous substances under normal condi tions of use. Pipes, wood, glass, tools and insulation are all articles. One problem with the article exemption is what happens when you cut or form those products during the course of work. The wood will give off wood dust, the glass will give off fragments, insulation can give off fibers, etc. Another problem is with materials such as particleboard, which gives off molecular amounts of formaldehyde even when they are not cut.
If there is a hazard associated with these products, then your distributor should send an MSDS with it when you purchase it. When you receive a lumber shipment, you should get an MSDS on the dangers associated with wood dust. You don't need to train your employees about the
5 DE 008369
dingers of wood, just wood dust Don't overreict to this by including everything under the sun in your training pro gram. Items such as doors, tables, saws and drills are articles, period.
Consumer Products Many common consumer products also do not have to
be included in your hazard communication program, but a great deal depends on how you use them in the work place. Many products found at local hardware stores and retail outlets that are used by contractors can be considerai consumer products. However, you may exempt them from your program only if they are packaged in the same form and concentration as Joe Consumer can purchase them, and only if you use the products for the same duration and frequency as Joe Consumer uses them.
In other words, if you purchase products at a hardware store but they are marked "for industrial use only," then you would still have to include the products in your HazCom program. Also, if you buy large quantities of a hazardous product at a retail outlet, then these would have to be included. Just because you bought them at a retail
establishment does not automatically mean the products are exempt
If there is any doubt that you may not be using these products as a consumer uses them, then you would be wise to include them in your HazCom program.
Can Anyone Just Tell Me What Hazardous Substances I'm Using?
A word of warning: Be wary of anyone who claims to have a standard list of everything you are using. No two construction companies will be alike, and unfortunately there are no shortcuts. Remember, OSHA designed HazCom to be a performance standard and that means you'll need to assess your own company. No one else will be-able to do it for you. Watch your labels and look for MSDSs.
The following is a list of common hazardous substances often found on construction sites. It is by no means a complete list, so it should only be used as a guide. You also can use it as a model when you inventory your own company.

WRITTEN HAZARD COMMUNICATION
D E 008373
CHAPTER THREE
Your Written Hazard Communication Program
As part of HtzCom, all construction employers are required to have a written hazard communication program for their companies. This written document will be the key to complying with HazCom and will provide the frame work for managing your hazard communication program. You can think of your written program as your company's policy or operating procedure on hazardous substances.
Your written program will most likely be one of the first documents that the OSHA compliance officer will want to review during an inspection of your worksite. It must be complete, accurate, current and understandable. It also must contain specific information:
1. A list of the hazardous chemicals on your worksite. (The list may be developed for the workplace as a whole, or for individual work areas. A sample inventory sheet can be found after the sample program.)
2. A statement describing how you, as an employer, will meet your obligations under HazCom for labeling, MSDSs and employee training.
3. A description of how you, as an employer, will inform
employees of the hazards they might encounter when they perform non-routine tasks. 4.An explanation of how you, as an employer on a multiemployer worksite, will inform other employers about the hazardous chemicals you bring on site which are used around their employees. Your written program must state:
-- how copies of MSDSs will be made available to other employers;
-- how you will inform other employers of the precautionary measures that need to be taken to protect employees under normal working con-' ditions and in emergencies: and
-- how you will inform other employers of the labeling system you're using on the worksite.
The following few pages set out a sample written hazard communication program. It can be adopted for use by your company. Simply retype it and add the appropriate informa tion, or tailor it to your individual company.

CHAPTER FIVE
How to Read and Understand an MSDS
Manufacturers, importers, distributors and suppliers are required to provide you with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for each of their hazardous chemicals. As a contractor, you are required to maintain a file of MSDSs for the hazardous chemicals you use. According to OSHA, you will be able to determine a hazardous substance by ~ referring to the MSDS and the label. The OSHA standard specifies the information required on each data sheet, and all information must be written in English.
An MSDS must precede or accompany the initial shipment but does not have to be physically attached to it If you receive subsequent shipments of the same item, a new MSDS is not required to be sent to you unless the chemical make-up of the product changes.
Review the MSDSs you receive for accuracy and completeness, and make sure you have the latest version on file. When an MSDS includes new information on a ' substance you use or a new compound has been added to it, additional employee training will be required.
To ensure proper recordkeeping and maintenance of MSDSs, you should:
1. Make sure any employee who purchases supplies for your company is on the lookout for MSDSs.
2. Include a request for an MSDS and a label that meets the requirements of the Hazard Communication Stand ard on all purchase orders.
3. Ask for an MSDS for any material bearing a label indicating it is a hazard unless an MSDS is already on file. (See the sample letters in Chapter Ten.)
4. To deal with the multi-employer situation, you may request information from other contractors on the site about hazardous substances and chemicals known to be at the site.
While MSDSs will appear in many different formats, they will contain essentially the same information. The information on an MSDS is extremely technical in nature and should be used as a reference or as a backup to information contained on a label. An MSDS tracking OSHA Form 174 (see sample, page 16) would offer the following information:
Section I - Identification 1. Chemical name, as it appears on the label. 2. Manufacturer's name and address. 3. Emergency telephone number in the event of an emergency involving the substance. 4. Date prepared and the signature of the preparer.
Section II - Hazardous Ingredients/Identity
/reformation 1. Hazardous Components: Contains the specific chemical
identity, its formula, and any common names it is known by. 2. OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL): PEL is the permissible maximum amount of the chemical a person may be safely exposed to without harm. 3. American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Value (TLV): TLV is the concentration of a chemical in the air that can be breathed for five consecutive eight-hour workdays by most persons without harmful effects. It is generally expressed in parts per million.
.4 Other limits recommended: Any other recommended
limitation on the use of the chemical by any agency, scientific group, or organization should be included.
Section III - Physical/Chemical Characteristics
1. Boiling Point: The temperature at which a liquid boils. 2. Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): Vapor pressure measures a
liquid's tendency to evaporate. The higher the pressure, the fester it will evaporate. 3. Vapor Density: Indicates the weight of the vapor compared with the weight of an equal volume of air. If a vapor is heavier than air (vapor density greater than 1), it will sink to the ground. If it is lighter than air (vapor density less than I), it will rise. For example, with flammable materials, when the vapor density is greater than 1, vapors tend to collect in the lowest spot. A contractor must be alert to vapors traveling to an ignition source, then flashing back to the vapor source. Care must also be taken to ensure that vapors do not displace oxygen. 4. Solubility in Water: Indicates whether the chemical can mix with water in any ratio without separating. 5. Appearance and Odor: A brief description of the chemical's color and smell. 6. Specific Gravity: Ratio of the weight of the material to the weight of an equal volume of water. The specific gravity determines whether the material floats or sinks in water. Specific gravity values less than or equal to I indicate that water should not be used to extinguish a fire involving the substance unless the water comes from automatic sprinklers. 7. Melting Point: Indicates the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. 8. Evaporation Rate (Butyl Acetate = 1): Indicates the temperature at which a substance evaporates.
As notedin theforeword to this manual the pamripattnf associations ore presently tnuolred in a trial challrntr to the Hasord Communication Standard Pcndiny the resolution ofthis lin/otton. the partietpattnt associations make no warranty that the information cotnamed herein will necessarily be accepted by OSHA.
13 DE 008381
Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data 1. Flash Point: Indicates the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite in air when exposed to a flame. When the flash point is between 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit, extra care must be taken in hot environments. The liquid's temperature could be high enough to be ignitable if an ijpiition source is introduced. Such sources might be cigarette smoking, electrical equipment and wiring, cutting and welding, or static electricity. A red diamood is required on all liquids classified by OSHA as flammable (flash point values of 99.9 degrees F or below). 2. Flammable Limits: IndiaUes the range of vapor concen trations which will explode when an ignition source is present The "Lower Explosive Limit" (LEL) is the minimum amount of vapor in the air that can be ignited. The "Upper Explosive Limit" (UEL) is the maximum amount of vapor in the air that will sustain fire. 3. Extinguishing Media: Materials suitable for putting out a fire involving the identified chemical. These fire fighting agents are water fog, foam, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, and dry chemicaL The four classes of fires are:
Gass A --paper, wood, straw, doth Gass B --flammable and combustible liquids Gass C --fire involving energized electrical equipment Class D --combustible metals
Testing laboratories dassify fire extinguishers based on the class of fire they are designed to put out. For example:
Gass A fire can be fought with water, Gass B fires with carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical; Gass C fires with carbon dioxide or dry chemicals; Gass D fires with special extinguishing compounds.
4. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Indicates the chem ical's special characteristics when it comes in contact with fire, such as whether it is difficult to put out; whether it will re-ignite sppntaneously; whether it is extinguished by water or other firefighting agents. This subsection will also indicate any required protective equipment needed when fighting the fire, as well as evaluate any toxidty of the material on anyone fighting the fire.
5. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Indicates any spedal types of hazards requiring attention. The description will indicate whether the chemical is difficult to extinguish, will re-ignite spontaneously, and how it reacts with water and other extinguishing agents. For example, if water is applied to a combustible liquid with a flash point above 212 degrees F, it may foam violently or boil over, endangering workers and fire fighters.
Section V - Reactivity Data 1. Stability: Indicates conditions that contribute to the stability or instability of a chemical when it is exposed to heat, pressure, or excessive shock during storage, use, misuse or transport Look to this section to identify specific conditions to be avoided. These warnings, for example, may be "reacts violently with water" or "avoid sudden shock." 2. Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Indicates various materials or conditions you must keep the chemical sway from to avoid adverse reactions. For example, a substance which ignites or explodes when it comes in contact with the chemical. 3. Hazardous Decomposition or By-products: Indicates gases or vapors which are released when the chemical is burned or decomposes. It tells you what hazardous substances your employees may be exposed to as a result of beating, working or burning the chemical. 4. Hazardous polymerization: Polymerization is a chem ical reaction where molecules of the chemical combine with molecules of another material to form a larger, different material. This reaction is accompanied by the release of large amounts of energy which can produce fire or other hazards. Polymerization can occur when the chemical comes in contact with certain plastics, rubber or coatings. This section of the MSDS will indicate possible storage conditions which could result in polymerization. It will also indicate any inhibitors --chemicals which can be added to prevent or delay polymerization -- and the expected time period in which an inhibitor is used up.
Section VI - Health Hazard Data 1. Route(s) of Entry: A chemical may enter the body either through inhalation, by contact with the skin or eyes, or by being swallowed. 2. Health Hazards: Indicates any long-term (chronic) or short-term (acute) effects of a chemical on the human body. 3. Carcinogenicity: Indicates whether the chemical causes cancer. It is important that your employees understand that not all hazardous substances cause cancer when an individual is exposed to them.
.4 Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Indicates and
describes the effects of exposure to the chemical, such as an employee's appearance, and the most common resulting sensations, for example, headache, dizziness or nausea. 5. Medical Conditions Severely Aggravated By Exposure: Indicates how the chemical will affect any pre-existing medical conditions. 6. Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Indicates first-aid procedures to use in order to reduce the hazardous effects of the chemical. The techniques covered will deal only with inhalation of the chemical, and skin or eye contact with it You must emphasize that these are emergency procedures only, and an exposed employee should be examined by a doctor as soon as possible.
td DE 008382
Section VH Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
1. Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Indicates precautions such as avoid breathing gases and vapors; avoid contact with liquids and solids; remove ignition sources; use of special equipment for dean ups. This section abo gives recommended tech* niques to use in controlling land or water spills.
2. Waste Disposal Methods: Indicates proper disposal of the chemical and contaminated materials.
3. Precautions to Take in Handling and Storing: Indicates ^.safe handling and storage procedures to be taken to - avoid hazardous reactions. This section will emphasize incompatibility or polymerization problems which , could occur during storage or handling of the chemical.
4. Other Precautions: Indicates special precautions to use in handling or dispasing of the chemical.
Section vm - Control Measures The measures indicated in this section should be taken
whenever the chemical is handled or disposed of during normal use. They are not measures to be used solely during emergencies or accidental spills.
1. Respiratory Protection: If needed, specifies type of respirators required by OSHA when the chemical is used, even as a precautionary measure in noo-emergeocy situations.
2. Ventilation: Indicates ventilating systems needed to prevent overexposure to the chemical. "Local exhaust** ventilation is a system with high speed and tow volume that will capture a chemical quickly after it has been released. The objective is to prevent the substance from reaching the employee's breathing zone. "Mechanical (general) ventilation" is the regular ventilation system used to beat and/or cool an enclosed area in a permanent facility.
3. Protective Gloves: Indicates whether or not gloves must be worn when the chemical is handled. If gloves are required for skin protection, the type of material they should be made of will be indicated.
.4 Eye Protection: Indicates appropriate eye protection,
such as face shields, safety goggles or glasses. 5. Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Indicates
protective equipment, such as aprons or boots, and the materials they should be made of to effectively prevent skin contact

CHAPTER SIX
Contractors' Obligation under EPA's Community Right-to-Know Regulations
Because HazCom has been extended to the construction industry, some contractors will also have to start complying with the Environmental Protection Agency's Community Rjght-to-Know reporting regulations. These are separate, but related requirements. Contractors who must maintain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) under HazCom may also have to report certain information to state and local emergency "pfauming commissions and their local fire departments.
Will All Contractors Have to Comply with This? Not every contractor will have to comply with these
reporting requirements. As of April 30,1989, contractors who have a hazardous substance in excess of 10,000 lbs. (approximately 1,250 gallons) must report it to their state and local emergency planning commission and their fire department. A list of the state emergency response commis sions can be found at the end of this chapter.
The reporting of hazardous substances must either be in the form of a list of the chemicals or the actual MSDSs. Then, on March 1,1990, those contractors must submit the Tier One form (attached at the end of the chapter) to those
same three reporting agencies. Should the agencies want more information, they will request that you fill out the Tier Two form (also attached). On each succeeding March 1, you will be required to submit another Tier One form on substances present in the workplace in excess of 10.000 lbs.
Since these quantities are so large, these rules will probably not apply to many chemicals for a typical contractor. However, a large painting contractor may have large amounts of paint, a roofer may have large amounts of tar, or a land developer may have his own diesel fuel or gasoline supply which would have to be reported. You will have to survey your own company to see what you have large amounts of on hand.
If you do have any substances in excess of 10.000 lbs., make sure you do report them because non-compliance could bring about penalties of as much as S25.000 per day.
EPA has established a Chemical Emergency Prepared ness Program Hotline to answer questions regarding the reporting requirements in this chapter. (This is not an information line for OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard.) The number is 1-800-535-0202 (202-479-2449 in Washington, D.C.).

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO CHRYSOTILE, AMOSITE, MIXTURES CONTAINING CRO'~. ff-j. AND OTHER FORMS OF ASBESTOS HAS RESULTED IN A HIGH INCIDENCE OF LUNG CAN-ZEP. AND PLEURAL AND PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMAS. GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS WEPt INCREASED IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO AMOSITE, CHRYSOTILE, OR MIXED FIBERS CONTAINING CROCIDOLITE. AN EXCESS OF LARYNGEAL CANCER HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTS:.
ASBESTOS IS AN EYE, SKIN, AND MUCOUS MEMBRANE IRRITANT. SMOKING ENHANCES THE RISK OF LUNG CANCER FROM EXPOSURE.
HEALTH EFFECTS AND FIRST AID
NHALATIONi ..SBESTOS: IRRITANT/CARCINOGEN.
ACUTE EXPOSURE- MAY CAUSE ACUTE IRRITATION AND COUGHING. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- PROLONGED INTENSE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE ASBESTOSIS, AN
INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS OF LUNG TISSUE WHICH MAY DEVELOP FULLY WITHIm r- YEARS, BUT ONSET IS TYPICALLY DELAYED 20-40 YEARS AFTER FIRST EXPOSURE. FATAL EXPOSURE MAY BE AS BRIEF AS 3 MONTHS DURING CHILDHOOD. THE I'vItial SYMPTOM IS A PROGRESSIVE EXERTIONAL DYSPNEA, FOLLOWED BY A DRY COUGH AMD EXPECTORATION, CHEST PAIN, DECREASED VITAL CAPACITY, TACHYPNEA, PERSISTED DRY RALES, CYANOSIS, CLUBBING OF THE FINGERS AND TOES, ANOREXIA, WEAKNESS, AND WEIGHT LOSS. RADIOLOGIC STUDIES MAY SHOW A DIFFUSE INCREASE IN LUNG DENSITY AND PLEURAL CALCIFICATION. SPONTANEOUS PLEURAL EFFUSION HAS OCCURRED IN ASBESTOS-EXPOSED WORKERS AS EARLY AS 3-4 YEARS AFTER INITIAL EXPOSURE. ASBESTOS. WORKERS SHOW AN INCREASE IN PLEURAL AND PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMAS, BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA, LUNG CANCER, CANCERS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT INCLUDING THE ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, COLON, AND RECTUM, AND CANCER OFVTHE LARYNX. MESOTHELIAL TUMORS ARE CHARACTER]ZEr BY BLOODY EFFUSION WITH PAIN, DYSPNEA, COUGH, WEIGHT LOSS, FATIGUE, HYPONATREMIA, AND DEATH! THE LATENT PERIOD FOR MESOTHELIOMA IS 3.5-'' YEARS; FOR LUNG CANCER, 15-30 YEARS. THE INCIDENCE OF LUNG CANCER AMD PULMONARY FIBROSIS IN ASBESTOS-EXPOSED WORKERS IS INCREASED BY CIGAKE: ts. SMOKING,
FIRST AID- REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREAD*.::=-. HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP PERSON WARM AND AT -l."' TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY AND SUPPORTIVELY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEBIATZl. -
SKIN CONTACT: ASBESTOS:
ACUTE EXPOSURE- DIRECT CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. ASBESTOS FIEEF" PENETRATE THE SKIN AND RESULT IN "ASBESTOS CORNS", DUE TO THICKF:'' - THE SKIN AROUND THE IMPLANTED FIBER. THESE USUALLY-.OCCUR ON THE
DE 008392
AND FOREARMS. THESE CORNS DO NOT LEAD TO SKIN TUMORS AND DISAPP5- REMOVAL OF THE FIBERS. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE DERMATIT 'c -EFFECTS AS IN ACUTE EXPOSURE.
FIRST AID- REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES IMMEDIATELY. WASH
L!
AREA WITH SOAP OR MILD DETERGENT AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER UNTIL NO
EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REMAINS (APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES). GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
EYE CONTACTS ASBESTOSt
ACUTE EXPOSURE- DIRECT CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION WITH REDNESS DUE Tli MECHANICAL ACTION.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE- REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE CONJUNCTIVITIS.
FIRST AID- WASH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER OR NORMAL SALINE OCCASIONALLY LIFTING UPPER AND LOWER LIDS, UNTIL NO EVIDENCE OF CHEMICAL REMAINS (APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTIONS ASBESTOS:
ACUTE EXPOSURE- INGESTION MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- REPEATED OR PROLONGED INGESTION OF ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY BE
INVOLVED IN CANCERS OF THE BUCCAL CAVITY AND PHARYNX, ESOPHAGUS,. STOMACH. COLON, AND RECTUM. INGESTION OF ASBESTOS-CONTAMINATED RICE HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AS THE CAUSE FOR A HIGH INCIDENCE OF STOMACH CANCER IN JAPAN.
FIRST AID- REMOVE BY GASTRIC LAVAGE OR EMESIS. MAINTAIN BLOOD PRESSURE AND AIRWAY. GIVE OXYGEN IF RESPIRATION IS DEPRESSED. DO NOT PERFORM GASTRIC LAVAGE OR EMESIS IF VICTIM IS UNCONSCIOUS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. (DREISBACH, HANDBOOK OF POISONING, 11TH ED.) ADMINISTRATION OF GASTRIC LAVAGE OR OXYGEN SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSONNEL.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST
D E 008416
CHAPTER SEVEN
Hazard Communication Compliance Checklist
HazCom is "performance-oriented rale." OSHA has set certain objectives you must reach, but it is not dictating the methods you use to achieve those objectives. This checklist will help you prepare for the kind of questions OSHA might ask you in determining whether your company has complied. A lot of work will go into earning the right to say "yes" to each question, but this checklist ' gives you a way to keep trade of your company's progress in reaching full compliance.
Planning andAdministration of Your Company's Program: 1. Have we reviewed the requirements of the HazCom
rale? 2 Has an employee been designated to be responsible
for coordinating our written hazard communication program? 3. Have we prepared a written hazard communication program? (It is recommended this program be placed in a loose-leaf binder for ease in updating. See Chapter Three.) 4. Do we have a system for responding to medical requests for chemical information during a medical emergency? 5. Have we developed our emergency procedures and incorporated them into our Standard Operating Procedures? 6. Do we have a policy for exchanging hazard infor mation with other contractors? 7. Do we have a system for documenting that we have informed other contractors about the hazards we have on the jobsite and how they are classified? (Assign this responsibility to the project manager.) 8. Have we reviewed all existing company policies and operating procedures for their compliance with the HazCom Standard and amended them where necessary?
Identification of Hazardous Substances: 1. Do we have an inventory list of all chemicals used
in the workplace? 2. Is a list of all hazardous chemicals available at the
jobsite? 3. Do we have a procedure for checking that we have
received an MSDS from the manufacturer for
incoming chemicals and that we have received any updates? (MSDSs need not be sent with every shipment after the initial MSDS is received, but t new MSDS should be sent whenever a chemical is changed or the MSDS is revised.)
.4 Do we review incoming container labels to see if
they have the chemical's name and appropriate hazard warnings? (The label should be an immediate warning and should summarize the most important information found in the MSDS.) 3. Have we developed labels, placards or batch tickets to be used when any product is removed from its original container or when it is mixed by us?
Employee Training Programs: 1. Have we developed a system for communicating
the information in MSDSs to all company employees? 2 Do we have procedures for employee training to provide information on chemical hazards at both initial assignment and whenever new information becomes available? 3. Are our employees familiar with the different types of chemicals and the hazards associated with them? 4. Do our employees understand how to detect the presence or release of hazardous chemicals in the workplace? S. Are our employees trained in proper work practices and personal protective equipment in relation to the hazardous chemicals in their work area? 6. Does our training program provide information on appropriate first aid, emergency procedures and the likely symptoms of overexposure? 7. Does our training program include an explanation of labels and warnings that are used in each work area? 8. Does the training describe where to obtain MSDSs and bow employees may use them? 9. Do we have a recordkeeping system to show that employees have been informed of hazards? _ 10. Do employees not routinely exposed to chemicals know where to find the MSDS forms and how to use them?

CHAPTER EIGHT
"What If..." Simple Answers to Anticipated Problems
As you hive made your way through this manual, you have no doubt had a number of questions about how HazCom is actually going to work on construction sites. You also are probably wondering what you are going to do when you hit a snag in the system. The following question and answer discussion hopefully will provide some answers to your questions.
Q. What if a labeled product arrives without the Material Safety Data Sheet? A. Since the product is labeled as hazardous, you should make a good-faith effort to obtain the MSOS. Do the following:
1. Type the sample letter requesting the MSDS or the label (See the chapter entitled "Sample Forms and Letters") and send it to the manufacturer/supplier as soon as possible.
2. Keep a copy of your letter in your files and document when you sent it
3. Send a follow-up letter in thirty days if you have still not received the requested information.
4. Record the receipt of the MSDS when it arrives and file it
5. Continue to keep records of each request you have made and the response received.
Q. What if/ live in a small town and deal with only a few retail outlets or suppliers, and / have trouble getting MSDSs or labels from them? / don't want to alienate them by harassing themfor the information. A. If you have trouble getting the information from the local suppliers, write them a letter requesting the information in a friendly or business-like tone stating you are trying to fulfill the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communi cation Standard. Keep copies of this correspondence. If it appears likely that this wifi not do any good, write directly to the manufacturer of the product and document this as well. OSHA also.urges employers to contact their local OSHA office for assistance if they have problems obtaining MSDSs from suppliers or manufacturers.
Q. Is there a complete list ofhazardous chemicals used in construction? A. There are hundreds of thousands of chemicals which qualify as hazardous under HazCom. Obviously, not all of them are used in constructiqn, but many are. There is no
definitive list of chemicals used in construction and you should be wary of purchasing one from a company which says they have one. Every construction firm will have to evaluate its own products, which is the intention of HazCom. No two companies or jobsites will be alike, even in the same specialty trade.
Q. Who is responsiblefor the accuracy ofthe MSDSs? A. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide accurate information on the MSDSs. No one expects you to be a chemist
Q. What if I receive the MSDS to a product separate from the shipment and the MSDS doesn't identify the product by its common name? How do / know which product it belongs with? A. Until manufacturers understand their own obligations under HazCom, this situation is likely to occur. All MSDSs should identify the common identity of the product. If you receive one which doesn't regardless of whether it came with the product contact the manufacturer for the infor mation. You need the information for training and your employees need it for reference and emergencies.
Q, What if/ receive an MSDS with one or more blank spaces? Do / assume that those sections don V apply? A. If a section of an MSDS doesn't apply, then the box should read "not applicable" or "N/A." If nothing is filled in, you should contact the manufacturer requesting the information. (See the chapter entitled "Sample Forms and Letters.")
Q. How do / know if the chemical make-up of a product changes? A. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide you with a new MSDS when the chemical make-up of a product changes. It is then your responsibility to inform your employees about the changes.
Q. Do labels and MSDSs have to be translated into foreign languages if the majority of workers do not read or understand English? A. While labels and MSDSs must be in English, you are not required to have them translated. You must still make an effort to train these employees. Contact your local OSHA office for assistance.
As noted in theforewordto this manual the participating associations an presently involved in a legal challenge to the Hazard Communication Standard. Pending the resolution of this litigation, the participating aisociationj make no warranty that the information contained herein mil necessarily be accepted by OSHA.
3S
DE 008418
Q. On the other hand, what do I do if I use some specialised products that are only available from foreign suppliers? Do I have to translate MSDSs and labels myself? A. If you rely on foreign supplies, it is the responsibility of the importer of the product to translate labels and MSDSs. As with requests for missing labels and MSDSs, make sure you put requests for translations in writing and keep them on file.
Q. Do workers have to be trained whenever a different brand ofa product is used? A. No. Retraining must take place when new hazards are introduced, not when one brand is substituted for another.
Q. Who is responsible for training employees on construction sites? A. Each contractor is responsible only for his or her own employees. However, you must train your employees about the hazards other contractors working in the same area may be exposing your employees to and what protective and emergency measures they have to take. You must get this information from the other contractors) and the same information will be requested from you.
Q. Who will coordinate this exchange of information between contractors? A. It is up to the individual contractors to get the information from other contractors on site. However, the simplest method wilt be to find out who the other contrac tors will be before work begins and contact them. Keep careful documentation of this effort
Q. What if another contractor has never heard of HazCom? A. This will probably be a major problem in the early years of compliance. As in the last answer, the best thing to do is to contact the other contractor. (See the chapter entitled "Sample Forms and Letters.") 'litis will be part of your good faith effort to comply.
Q. Can't tjust hire a consultant to bring my company into compliance? A. HazCom is going to be an ongoing process as long, as you are in business. You can hire someone to do it for you. but only if you are confident of their knowledge of the requirements. Unfortunately, a number of unrcputable "safety consultants" will be popping up all over the country hoping to cash in on contractors' confusion over the standard. There are a number of reputable outfits providing good services, but you will need to be able to tell the good from the bad.
Q. Do lhave to keep records of my employee training? A. While it is not a requirement of HazCom. it is strongly recommended that you keep a record of all employees trained and have them sign off on it. (See the chapter entitled "Sample Forms and Letters.'*) Otherwise, you will have no proofof an employee's training. It could be vital in liability cases.
Q. What are the penaltiesfor non-compliance? A. Violations of HazCom and other OSHA standards are punishable by civil and criminal penalties which could go as high as several thousand dollars. In addition, failure to implement a hazard communication program could result in a liability suit directed at your company and increased insurance rates.
Q. What ifI'm a small contractor? Do l really need to worry about compliance? A. There is no exemption from compliance for small contractors. The penalties for non-compliance can be just as severe, the liability risk just as great and the insurance rates just as high for small contractors who fail to comply.
Q. What ifI'm doing repair work on a project that has long since been completed. How do / know what hazards already exist on the project? A. Under HazCom, on repair work you are required only to provide the best known information about the hazards of the items already installed. You do not need labels and MSDSs on those products if they are not available, but you should make sure your employees are informed.

DE 008419
CHAPTER NINE
Federal HazCom Assistance and State Enforcement
Because of (he complexity of HazCom, OSHA has appointed "Hazard Communication Coordinators" in its ten regional offices around the country (see following list of offices). These coordinators are there to assist you with any questions or problems you may have with establishing a hazard communication program within your company, as well as assisting you with tracking down MSDSs, labels and other information necessary to comply.
Some contractors need to also be aware that federal OSHA does not enforce the standard in all states and territories. In some cases, state OSHAs will be enforcing the standard's requirements. These state OSHAs are known by a variety of acronyms such as MOSHA, WISHA, VOSHA, etc., and these agencies have just as much authority, and sometimes more authority, than federal OSHA in handing out citations, fines, and sometimes jail sentences for safety violations.
r However, only those states which have an "OSHAapproved" state plan can enforce the standard. Those states are: Alaska, Arizona, California (after July 1, 1989), Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Washington, and Wyoming (see following list of state OSHA offices). In some instances, these states may have additional requirements that exceed the requirements of the federal standard.

summary: OSHA is ravisint Its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200). which currently applies to the manufeeturin| sector, to cover all employers with employees exposed to hazardous chemicals in their workplaces. Expansion of the scope of the HCS requires non-manufacturing employers to establish hazard communication programs to transmit information on the hazards of chemicals to their employees by means of labels on containers, material safety data sheets, and training programs. This action will reduce the incidence of chemically-related occupational illnesses and infuries in nonmanufacturing workplaces.
dates: Effective September 23.1967. The tevised standard published today requires that chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors ensure that material safety data sheets are provided with the next shipment or hazardous chemicals to non-manufacturing employers or distributors after September 23.1887. All employers in the non-manufacturing sector are to be in compliance with all provisions of Ore standard by May 23.1961.

SUPPLEMENTAAV MPOMSATIOM
References to the rulemaking record ate made in the text of this preamble, and the following abbreviations have been used:
A. Hittory of OSHA't Hazard Communication Standard
When Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970.29 U.S.C. 651 at rtf (the Act). It included language in section 6(b)(7) stating that any occupational safety or health standard promulgated by the Secretary of Labor under section 8(b) rulemaking authority "shall prescribe the use of labels or other appropriate forms of warning as are necessary to insura that employees are apprised of all hazards to which they are exposed, relevant symptoms and appropriate emergency treatment, and proper conditions and precautions of safe use or exposure." Whenever OSHA has promulgated a substance-specific rule to address the hazards of a particular chemical, this Congressional directive has been followed. However, given the universe of chemicals present in American workplaces (as many as 575.000 hazardous chemical products), and the time-consuming nature of OSHA's rulemaking process, it soon became clear that little Information would be available to employees if this
substanee-by-substance approach were the only one pursued. The Agency thus decided to address the issue of hazard information transmittat on a generic basis. OSHA's experience, as well as our rulemaking record to date, supports the view that when employees have access to. and understand, the nature of the chemical hazdrds they are exposed to during the course of their employment, they are better able to participate in their employers' protective programs, and take steps to protect themselves, hi addition, providing employers with complete chemical hazard information enables them to better design and implement protective programs. Together these actions will result in more effective worker protection and the occurrence of fewer
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) published a criteria documem
in 1974 which also recommended a standard to OSHA. The document, entitled "A Recommended Standard... An Identification System for Occupationally Hazardous Materials." included provisions for labels and
material safety data sheets.
In 1976. Congressman Andrew Maguire from New lersey and the Health Research Croup petitioned OSHA to issue a standard to require the labeling ofall workplace chemicals The House of Representatives' Committee on Government Operations (1976 and 1977) recommended that OSHA enforce the health provisions of the Act by requiring manufacturers to disclose any to\ic ingredients in their products, and byrequiring all employers to disclose this
information to workers. On January 28.1977. OSHA initiated
the public participation phase of the rulemaking process on these issues by publishing an advance notice ol proposed rulemaking (ANPR) on chemical labeling in the Federal Register (42 FR 8372). The ANPR requested comments and information on the need for such a standard, and the particular provisions that should be included The Agency received eighty-one comments.
Most supported the need for the rule, but opinions as to the specific approaches to be pursued varied significantly.
On January 16.1981. OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (KPRM) entitled "Hazords Identification" 146 FR 4412). The rule would have required manufacturing employers to assess the hazards in their workplaces using specified procedures, and to label containers. The requirements were quite different from the comprehensive approach previously recommended by the Standards Advisory Committee and NIOSH as they did not include provisions for material safety data sheet

the final rule ere very similar to those described above for the proposal, is.. chemical manufacturers and importers art required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and all manufacturers ars required to have hazard communication programs for their employees exposed to hazardous chemicals. This comprehensive standard was designed to reduce the hazards faced by

The HCS was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
(hereinafter refenred to as "the Court" or "the Third Circuit") on several grounds. The Court issued its decision on May 24.1985 {United Steelworker* I, 763 FJd 726 (3d Cir. 1985)). The

The third issue remanded to OSHA involved the scope of the standard's coverage. As noted, the HCS currently applies to employers and employees in the manufacturing sector. The Court refected the Secretary's contention that section 6(g) gave him the flexibility to regulate the most hazardous sector first before commencing rulemaking for other sectors in which workers ere exposed, to a lesser extent, to the same hazards. The Court agreed that section 6(g) "clearly pemits the Secretary to set priorities for the use of the Agency's resources, and to promulgate standards sequentially." 763 T2i at 736. The Court also acknowledged that "there is substantial evidence tn the record that the manufacturing sector has the highest incidence rate of chemical exposures which the Agency hss authority to regulate." id. at 737. However, the Court held that it is not enough merely to establish that the sector selected for coverage presents greater hazards than those that have been left for later rulemaking. Civen the record evidence of high levels of exposure to hazardous chemicals in several job settings outside the manufacturing sector, the Secretary was required to explain "why coverage of worker* outside the manufacturing sector would bave seriously impeded the rulemaking process" or "why it is not feasible for the same standard to be applied in other sectors where workers are exposed to similar hazards." Id. at
738.
The Court was not persuaded that the HCS would provide protection to uncovered workers because chemical hazard warnings would be found on container labels and detailed information on material safety data
sheets would become increasingly available in the unregulated sectors as a result of being required in
manufacturing. Id. There was considerable record evidence that indicated that workers in the non manufacturing industries are exposed to chemical hazards. The Court concluded that the Secretary had not stated why it would not be feasible to require employers In non-manufaetunng industries to give workers material safety data sheets and training as required in the manufacturing sector. Id. The Court maintained that the Act required an explanation why the same information, that is. labels, material

The Court ordered the Agency to issue, within 80 days of its order, "a hazard communication standard applicable to all workers covered by the OSHA Act. including those which have not been covered In the hazard communication standard at presently written, or a statement of rcaaont iv hy. on the bails of tha present administrative record, a hazard communication standard is not feasible." Id. at 19. OSHA ii responding to the Court order by issuing this final rule expanding the scope of the HCS' coverage to ail workers within OSHA's jurisdiction.
OSHA continues to believe that it should have been permitted to follow the rulemaking procedures In the Act by Issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking and developing a public record prior to promulgating a final rule. However, as discussed in the following section regarding feasibility, the Agency does not have sufficient evidence in the current record to indicate that the rule would be infeasible for any part of ihe non-manufacturing sector. OSHA recognizes that information submitted during a norma) rulemaking process might have resulted in further changes to the provisions to better address feasibility or practicality concerns.
In light of the fact that there may be additional information regarding the feasibility or practicality of the rule as it applies to some non-manufacturing sectors, the Agency invites persons io provide such information and any recommendations for further rulemaking within sixty day* of the date of publication of this final rule. OSHA will then evaluate these submissions and determine whether any additional rulemaking is required.

Federal Community Right-to-Know Law
OSHA standard for material safety data sheets which now applies only to ship repairing, shipbuilding, and snip breaking (29 CFR ISIS, 1916 and 1917). The modified standard would require manufacturers or formulators of harmful materials or agents to supply material safety data sheets along with their products in such a fashion that they reach construction employers." Shipbuilding and ship repairing are in the manufacturing sector, and covered by the requirements of the 1963 final rule--ship breaking will be covered by these expanded provisions. Therefore, OSHA is doing what was recommended in 1980. i.e., extending the existing OSHA standard for material safety data sheets to construction. The Advisory Committee concluded that although tha hazard information may have been difficult for construction employers to acquire in the pash "such information was fundamental to the preparation of warning signs, labels, training programs, and other important Job safety ana health activities."
The Construction Advisory Committee is now recommending that the construction industry be regulated under a separate standard for Hazard Communication, rather than being treated as any other downstream employer who uses chemicals. The rationale is that construction sites are unique among industrial workplaces and should be addressed in a vertical standard specific to the industry. Although OSHA hat found this argument persuasive for a few health standards, where there are fundamental differences in control strategies to achieve permissible exposures for a chemical in a fixed site facility versus
on containers and material safety data sheets from Its suppliers. This Is certainly consistent with OSHA's approach in the rule. But the Committee is also recommending that the labels on containers being shipped to construction contain additional information, and that the requirements for materiel safety data sheets be slightly different as well They also recommended changes in the hazard determination provisions, while maintaining that hazard determinations must be accomplished in the manufacturing sector. These recommendations serve to support OSHA's view that in an approach which requires a downstream flow of
information, the relationship between the requirements for producers and downstream users are so inter* dependent thst separation of them into two separate standards would be logically inconsistent. And furthermore, since the requirements for hazard determinations, labels, and material safety data sheets were based on an extensive rulemsking record, and are not industry-specific. It would not be appropriate to modify those requirements at this point.
Two separate standards would also require cross-referencing provisions from one rule to another to ensure proper information transmittal, a ' regulatory format which would be unnecessarily confusing to the regulated community. OSHA believes it is more effective to list, in one standard, the obligations of chemical producers. Importers, and suppliers with those of the users so that employers using hazardous chemicals will be aware of the content and quality of the hazard information they are entitled to receive

Specifically, employers required by the OSHA HCS to create or maintain material aafety date sheets for employees must also submit to the State emergency response commissions, the local emergency planning committee and the local fire department: (1) A material safety data sheet for each hazardous chemical for which a data sheet is available (section 311): and (2) an emergency end hazardous chemical Inventory form (section 312).

This final rule it both an expansion and revision of the current HCS. The regulatory text presented herein includes the unchanged provisions of tha present rule, at well at those which OSHA it changing. This was done to ensure that readers can dearly follow where these changes would appear in the standard.

chemicals, and downstream employers who merely use the chemicals. Only the

various types of workplaces. In addition to the specific labeling exemption.
OSHA has been interpreting the rule as not being applicable to consumer product* when used as a consumer
would use them. OSHA is now adding
this interpretation to the rule itself, paragraph (b](6)(vi). stating that where such consumer products are used m the workplace in a a manner comparable to normal conditions of consumer use. resulting in a duration and frequency of exposure to employees which is no greater than exposures experienced by ordinary consumers, under such
condition* the chemical would not have to be included in the employer's hszard communication program. This position is consistent with OSHA'* reason for orginally limiting the exemption for hazardous consumer products used in the course of employment to only an exemption from HCS labeling, and not material safety data sheet and training requirments. "OSHA recognize*. . . that there may be situations where worker exposure is significantly greater than that of consumers, and that under these circumstances, substances which are safe for contemplated consumer use may pose unique hszard* In the workplace." 48 FR 53289. However, to th* extent that workers are exposed to the substances in a manner similar to that of the general public, there is no need (or any HCS requirement*.
One example of such a differentiation in exposure situation* involves the use of abrasive cleaners in the workplace. Where these are used intermittently to clean a sink, much as they would be used at home, the cleaners would not be covered under the standard. But if they are used to clean out reactor vessels, thus resulting in a much greater level of exposure, they would be covered. Or if an employee cleans sinks all day long, thus resulting in more frequent exposures, the abrasive would also be included in the hazard communication pror*m. Thu* workplaces which only have chemicals which are consumer product* used in the same way and as frequently as the general public would normally use them, would not have to have a hazard communication program.
It should be noted that OSHA intends to read this exemption narrowly. Where an employer is uncertain whether the duration and frequency of exposure to
these products is comparable to consumer use. an employer should obtain or develop the material safety data sheet and make it available to employees.
In response to questions raised in the 1985 ANPR. OSHA received s few comments on the use of consumer products in the non-manufacturing sector. A number indicated that overexposure may occur from the use of such product*, or that the frequency and duration of workplace exposure is typically greater than that experienced

for more hazard information than a CPSC label when expoiuret art greater or more frequent than typical public ut* of the chemical would generate.
A number of State* adopting right-towork law* have alto developed contumer product exemption*. (See. e./Wiscontin "Employee*' Right to Know

However, moat of these rule* have taken a broader approach to the contumer product exemption, generally eliminating coverage of auch product* unices exposure it "significantly greater" than consumer expoturt during the "principal consumer use." OSHA considered and rejected such language (ot the contumer product exemption. It would be very difficult from an

The key eltment* of concern tn OSHA are at stated in the consumer product exemption Included hi this rule--that the contumer product be uted in the tame manner at a consumer would use it (end therefor* at intended by the manufacturer when preparing the label information), and that the duration and frequency of exposure be essentially the tame a* would be

Wood dust. At OSHA hat received a number of questions regarding the
application of the wood and wood product* exemption to wood dust. OSHA would like to reiterate it* Interpretation regarding the wood and wood product exemption in paragraph (b)[6)(iii) of this final rule. The wood and wood products exemption we* included in the HCS for two reason*. First, the pretence and identity of wood and wood product* in the workplace i* "unmistakable" and second their hazard* (/.e.. flammability or combustibility) are well-known to worker*. 46 FR 53268. Because wood and wood product*, characteristic hazards art self-evident, regulation* requiring formal notification were not thought to be necessary. Wood and wood product* "are not expected to be hazardous for purpose* of this standard." Id. at 53333. OSHA never Intended, however, that wood dust be excluded from the standard's coverage under the wood and wood product* exemption. Wood dutt i* not generally a wood "product." but is ersated a* a byproduct during manufacturing
operations Involving sawing, sanding, and shaping of wood. Wood dust does not share solid wood products' "selfevident" hazard characteristics that supported the exemption of wood product* from the HCS' coverage. Except for the chemical additives present in the wood, products such as lumber, plywood, and paper are easily recognizable in the workplace and pose e risk of fire that it obvious and wellknown to the employees working with them. The potential for exposure to wood dust within the workplace, eapecielly with regard to respirable

The only changes to the definitions in the current HCS are those that need to be made to accomplish the expansion of
the HCS. The reference to SIC Codes 20 through
39 is being deleted from the definition of "chemical manufacturer" to be consistent with the extent scope of the rule. Any employer who produces hazardous chemical for "use or distribution" is considered * "chemical manufacturer" under the HCS. end must prepare and preside the tppropriaie hazard information.
OSHA has modified the definition of "container" to exempt "engines, fuel tenks. or other operating systems In a vehicle." The Agency he* received some questions regarding the need for labeling such parts of * vehicle in applying the rule to the manufacturing sector. Expansion into non-manufacturing will greatly increase the number of vehicles involved In work operations, and thus OSHA determined that this clarification will ensure that the Agency's position ' regarding this Issue is dear--vehicles do not have to bear labels regarding hazardous chemicals used to operate them. This does not exempt such chemicals from coverage by the rule--it simply eliminates the need to Itbel ones they are placed into the vehicle.
The definition of "distributor" has also been changed to reflect the

receptionist would be covered under the rule by virtue of the one potential exposure from delivering the message. However, if performance of the receptionist's job entails walking through the production area every day. and thus being potentially exposed during the performance bf regular duties, that job would be covered under the rule.
The definitions of "employer" and "importer" are also amended to indicate
information. The purpose of die label is to serve as an immediate visual warning
of the chemical hazards in the workplace. (See generally. 48 FR 5330003).
There have been misinterpretations of the requirements made based on
statements in the preamble to the current rule concerning various labeling systems (see 48 FR 53301). This preamble discussion involves formal yf labels, and it not an unqualified
endorsement of any particular labeling system. It simply states that any lorm-i may be used, at long as the label includes the information regarding the
chemical hazards required by the standard. It should be noted that it can be expected that tome labels prepared in accordance with any of the available labeling systems can be expected to be found to be deficient. Again, the preamble discussion cited merely reemphasized that employers are not constrained to use any particular format or wording, but art constrained by the necessity to comply with the requirements of die rule concerning the information to be provided--the identity, the hazards, and for containers leaving the workplace, the name and address of the responsible party.
The terms `'physical" and "health" hazards are already defined in the rule, and these are the specific hazards that are to be "conveyed" in an "appropriate" hazard warning. There are some situations where the specific target organ effect is not known. Where this is the case, a more general warning statement would be permitted. For example, if the only information available it an ICw test result, "harmful If Inhaled" may be the only type of statement supported by the data and thus may be appropriate.
It will not necessarily be "appropriate" to warn on the label about every hazard listed in the MSDS The data sheet is to address essentially everything thit is known (bout the chemical. The selection of hazards to be highlighted on the label will involve tome assessment of the weight of the evidence regarding each hazard reported on the data sheet. This does not mean, however, that only acute hazards are to be covered on the label, or that well-substantiated hazards can be omitted from the label because they appear on the data sheet..
It may be "appropriate" to provide less detailed information on the chemical hazards in sn In-plsnt labeling system, where MSDSs and training are readily available, than on a label plsced on a container leaving the workplace, where it may provide the only hazard information in certain situations and where there it no guarantee that the downstream employees htndlmp or using the chemical will fully understand the less detailed label. This difference m appropriatenest allows employers io establish standardized in-plant labeling systems, as long at training regarding the use of these systems it conducted, and MSDSs provide the required, detailed information.

OSHA is not modifying the current rule's hazard determination requirements. The burden of evaluating chamicals to determine whether they are hazardous remains on th* chemical manufacturers and importers who produce or import them and on those user employers who choose not to rely on the evaluations mad* by their suppliers and instead evaluate th* chemicals themselves. A detailed explanation of these provisions can be found at 48 FR 332K-89.83335-38.

Th* following an examples of items which would nquin information for intermediate use prior to being finally installed: encapsulated asbestos insulation where the normal installation Involves hammering th* material into opening*, thus releasing the asbestos; tiles to be placed on a ship's hull which contain lead that is released during installation; and glass mercury switches to be Installed in equipment, a percentage of which are expected to break during this installation process. In these cases, installation is the "normal condition of use" for the employees Installing the items, and thus hazard information 1* required for these intermediat* use*. Once installed, these items would be articles and thus exempted.
Under the current rule, a written hazard communication program must be developed and implemented for each workplace. Since the current rule cover* fixed manufacturing sites. It did not sppear to be necessary to specifically state that the written program be available at the site. With expansion to non-manufacturing, however, particularly In th* construction industry where a firm may have multiple sites, the standard must be tailored to specifically state that the intent is to maintain the written program at each site. Employee* will then be able to access the information as required.
The current written hazard communication program requirements include a provision that requires manufacturing employer* to provide hazard Information to on-site contractor employers who have employees who may be exposed to the hazards generated by the manufacturer (current paragraph (e)(l)(iii)). The current standard does not address the reverse situation, i.e.. where a contractor employer brings hazardous materials

It should be emphasized that the exchange of information is limited to those situations where exposures of other employers' employees may occur. Given the nature of multi-employer work site* in construction, there would be many situations where subcontractors responsible for various phases of the building protect would not have employees present during other phases and thus no such exchange would be required. For example, if the electricians are not working near, or at the same time as. the paving contractor, then no interchange is required. But if a painting contractor's workers are using flammable solvents In an area where another subcontractor Is welding pipes, this information exchange is vital to ensure proper protection of employees.

The full text of th* document may be examined and copied in OSHA't Docket Office. 200 Constitution Avenue. NW,, Room N3670, Washington. DC 20210; telephont (202) $23-7894.
Economic Anolytii
At part of OSHA't effort! to gather information concerning the economic feasibility of extending the coverage of th* HCS to inetude workplaces in the nonmtnufacturing sector, the )ACA Corporation performed a study examining the benefits, costs, and overall economic impact of such a revision. This report was used is th* basis for the regulatory impact analytic prepared by OSHA.
The analytis reflect* the extent to which employer* in tha nonmanufacturing sector ate currently subject to state right-to-know laws and art voluntarily implementing their own hazard communication programs. Tht analytis also takes into account OSHA't existing policy regarding flit uta of consumer product* and training requirements already imposed on employer* by other OSHA standards. With respect to consumer products covered by the HCS. OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.38A ("Inspection Procedures for the Haurd Communication Standard. 29 CFR 1910.1200") states;
A common tense approach muit bt employed whenever e product la ueed in e manner almilar to which It could be uied by s coniumer. thue mulling In levele of expoeure comparable to coniumer expoeure.

citanaer ia seed in large quantities lo clean

the Haurd Communicalion Program.
This policy hat bten incorporated into the revieione to the HCS. and was taken into account when evaluating dati describing the number of heurdoui chemical* in the viriouz two-digit SIC groups that could be affected by exteneian of the HCS to the nonmanufacturing ttetor.
Attesting the net impact of the training proviiiont required identifying and deducting the costs of existing OSHA standards which already require employer* to provide the types of information and training activities prescribed in the HCS. This was done for construction (11926211). thipbresking (11915.97). marine terminals (1191722). and longshoring (11916.80). However, it was not possible to eeparately identify and deduct the existing turning costs for subtttncespeciflc standard* that currently apply to the nonmanufecturingtector. Thus, the compliance costs presented In thi* analyii* are lomewhat overstated.
In extending the rule for manufacturing to the nonmanufacturing aector. OSHA hai made revision* io reflect unique aspect* of some-work operations. For exsmple. the etendard
allows MSDSs to be mtintiined at central locations in circumstances where employees must travel between wotk operations during a workshift. provided that the information can be obtained immediately in in emergency. This provision i* expected to lower costs in SIC groups 07.08.09.13. 48.49. and 73. (See Tablt 1 for a description of tht SICs.)
The standard also allows for limited coverage in those work situetiont where employees handle chemicals in sealed containers ihst are not opened under normal conditions of use. and thus have little potential for measurablt exposuus. Employers would be required to letve warning labels on contsiners. and make avalleble any MSDSs received with the containers. Employers would alto hive to be trained in accordance with the standard, with particular tmphttii on procedures to follow if there is a spill or leak of the hazsrdous chemicals in the normally tested containers. Afiected establishments would not have to mske special efforts to obtain and keep MSDSs that art not received with the chemicals, and no written plan ior complying with th* HCS would be required.

For this analysis CfSHA eatimsted the percentage of worker* exposed to hazardous chemicals. The percentage and number* of exposed worker* art ihown in Table 2 * by SIC group. The analysis of risks end benefit* proceeds from the current annuel incidence of chemical-related injuries and iUneaaet in the norunanufaeturing teeter.

tamings incurred by each victim. This "human capital" approach resulted in first-year benefits of S56.3 million, and a 40 year present value of Sft.66 billion (summarized in Table 3).
A second estimate of benefits was made using the "wiliingness-to-psy" approach. This approach resulted in first-year benefits of SS6&7 million, and a 40 year present value of *54.8 billion (Table 3).
To provide comparability with the estimates of compliance costs, benefits were attributed to the states with rijhlto-know laws in proportion to the there of hazard eommunicition costs projected for firms in those steles. Under the "human capital" approach the present value of the 40 year stream of benefits from the extension of the HCS. after deducting stales with right-toknow-lawt, it S3JO billion (1985 dollars). Under the willingoess-to-pay approach, the present value of the 40year stream of benefits from extension of ths HCS is S31.0 billion, after deducting the amount attributable to elate* with right-to-know law*.

The post-tax compliance cost as a percent of profits is lest than two percent in most (over 80 percent) of the SICs. Typical firms in these SICs should be eble to absorb the cotta even if they cannot pats them on to their customers. Given the small absolute magnitude of the compliance coat*, and the fact that the analysis wa* conducted using first year compliance costs which are aignificantly higher than the recurring compliance casts for subsequent years, the expaniion of the hazard communication standard should have little or no economic impact on typical firms.
Community Ri$ht-to-Know
The cost of extending the Supetlund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) requirements for community right-to-know to the non-manufacturing sector was also estimated. Under Title III of SARA, establishments holding a given hazardous chemical in amounts greater than specified threshold quantities must report these chemicals and their quantities to State and local emergency planning committees and the local fire department. Cost estimates were based on EPA's projected phase-in threshold quantities of 10.000 pounds of hazirdou* chemicals in the first two years, and 500 pounds in the third and subsequent yeer* that the requirements apply to the non-manufacturing sector. The estimated costs for the first and second years are S8.614.300 ar.d $3,524,000. respectively. Third and fourth vear costs were estimated to be $63,492,800 and $32,738,300.
The economic impact of extending SARA to nonmanufaeturing was also estimated by OSHA. The third year verage total cost of SARA was combined with OSHA's recurring average total coat* of the'Hszard Communication Standard to estimate the Impact. The analysis indicated that the economic impact per facility of extending SARA to nonmanufaeturing ia minor, and that cost* incurred by affected establishments could be passed on to the consumer. OSHA believes that the extension of SARA to nonmanufaeturing will not affect the feasibility of the Hazerd Communication Standard.
Regulator}' Flexibility

As can be seen from Teble 10. the cost differential between small and Urge firms in over 80 percent of the SIC* t* anticipated to be lest than 0.2 percent of revenue. In SICs 83 and 68 the difference it about 2 percent However, thesa SICs art dominated by non-profit firms which are less likely to be subject to price competition.
Envintimtntaf Impacts '
At the time the current HCS was promulgated In the Federal Register (41 FR 53280), OSHA stated that the standard was unlikely to result to the occurrence of significant health or environmental impact* outside of th* workplace. The extension of the HCS does not entail any change from th* current HCS in terms of Impacts outside the workpiece. A* concluded previously, the labeling of container* will not have a direct or significant impact on air or water quality, land or energy use. or solid waste disposal outside of th* workplace. Similarly, the requirements for preparation of a written compliance plan, provision and maintenance of MSDSs. and provision of Information and training should have no adverse environmental impact
IV. Clearance of Information Collection Requirements
On March 31.1883. the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
published a new 5 CFR Part 132a
implementing the Information collection provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980.44 U.S.C. 3501 rt stq. (48 FX 13680). Part 1320. which became effective on April 30.1883. sets forth procedures for agencies to follow in
obtaining OMB clearance for information collection requirements. The
sections of the Hsiard Communication Standard which may create recordkeeping requirements are paragraph* (o) hatard determination: (e) written hatard communication program: (0 labels and other appropriate form* of warning: (g) materia) safety data sheets: (h) Information and training: and (i) trad* secret*.
to accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act and th* regulation* issued pursuant thereto. OSHA certifies thet It hat aubmttted th* information collection requirements contained to its rule on hatard communication to OMB for review under aaction 3504(h) of that Act.
V. Stats Plan Applicability
The 25 States with their own OSHAapproved occupational safety and health plan* must adopt a comparable standard within six months of the publication date of a final standard. These States include: Alaska. Artxona. California. Connecticut (for State and local government employees only). Hawaii. Indiana. Iowa. Kentucky,
Maryland. Michigan. Minnesota. Nevada. New Mexico. New York (for State and local government employees only). North Carolina. Oregon. Puerto Rico. South Carolina. Tennessee. Utah. Vermont. Virginia. Virgin Islands. Washington, and Wyoming. Until such time as a State standard is promulgated. Federal OSHA will provide interim enforcement assistance, as appropriate. (Thirteen (13) of these States (Alaska. California. Iowa. Maryland. Michigan, Minnesota. New Mexico. North Carolina. Oregon. Tennessee. Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming) have atreedy expanded the scope of their haterd communication standard/rightto-know law to cover private aector. non-manufacturing workplaces.)
Although State HCS becomes effective in aecordonee with Slate promulgation provisions, and it enforceable upon promulgation. OSHA rnuat also review and approve the etendard to assure that it ia "at least as fleetivt" as the Federtl standsrd. OSHA Intends to closely scrutinise State atandard* submitted under current
or future State plsns to assure not only equet or greater effectlvens*. but also that any additional requirements do not conflict with, or adversely effect, the effectiveness of ths national application of OSHA's standard. Because the HCS Is "eppliable to products" in that It permits th* distribution snd use of hazardous chemicals in commerce only if they are to labeled container* accompanied by materiel safety dati sheets. OSHA must dttetmine in its review whether any State plin standsrd provisions whld differ from the Federal at* "required by compelling local condition* and do not unduly burden toteretate commerce." Section 18(c) of th* Act 28 UJS.C. 862(C).

Foreword
This training log is one of five components that make up the education package titled "Hazard Com munication: A Compliance Kit for the Construction Industry." This full compliance kit was produced jointly by the American Subcontractors Association (ASA), the Associated Builders and Contractors Inc. (ABC), and the National Association of Home Build ers (NAHB). It is intended to assist construction employers in meeting the requirements of the Occu pational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard.
Although not a requirement of the Standard, re cordkeeping of employee training sessions has been strongly recommended by OSHA. If inspected, the employer who uses this log will be able to provide record of ongoing employee training. In addition, the log serves as a convenient reference tool for the employer who must juggle training for many differ ent employees during the course of the construction season.
HOW TO USE THIS LOG
The log provides space to record the training of four employees per page. For quick reference, the log includes room at the top of each page to record the dates of training covered on that page (e.g.. front June 4, 1989 to June 10, 1989). In addition, there is an alphabetical cross-reference at the back of the log to assist you in quickly locating all training sessions attended by a particular employee. For this reason, it is important to record the training of only four employees per page, and then also log each train ed employee's name in the cross-reference sec tion. (When training several employees at a session, we recommend that you fill out all information for one employee, then write "SAME AS ABOVE" for all other employees who attend that same training session.)

CHAPTER FOUR
Employee Training
All employers are required to train their employees on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial work assignment and whenever a new hazard b introduced into the workplace. Additional training, how* ever, b not necessary when you substitute one brand of a
product for another. The heart of HazCom b employee training, because
employees need to know the hazards they will encounter on thejob and then accept responsibility for using thb informa tion to protect themselves. No employer can police every action of hb employees, therefore, an important part of any training program should be impressing upon employees that thb information b provided so that they can assist in creating a safe workplace.
Although HazCom does not require extensive record keeping of training sessions, it b strongly recommended that the time, place, names of employees trained, and content of all hazard communication training sessions be documented. Employees should sign an attendance sheet
indicating that they attended specific sessions. The following b a model employee training program that
you can adapt for your company's use. In addition, your national association has developed a companion training video which can assist you in fulfilling your training obligations. Contact your association for further information.
A Model Hazard Communication Employee Training Program
Our employee training program has been developed on the basis of groups or types of hazardous chemicals used and the common hazards associated with the group or type of chemicals. (See the chapter in this manual entitled "Common Hazards on Construction Sites.") For specific hazard information on individual substances, the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) must be reviewed.
The training will cover the following: 1. An overview of the hazard communication requirements. 2. A review of fhe chemicals present on jobsites. 3. The location, availability and contents of our written hazard communication program and MSDSs. 4. How to detect the release or presence of hazardous chemicals in the work area. 5. Physical and health hazards of the chemicals in the work area. 6. How to lessen or prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals by using good work practices, personal protective equipment, etc. 7. Emergency and first aid procedures. 8. How to read labels and MSDSs to obtain hazard information. 9. The location of our MSDSs.
Overview of the Hazard Communication Requirements The Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) is intended to ensure that both employers and employees are aware of potential hazards associated with chemicals in their workplaces, (Chapter One of this manual provides a summary of the specific requirements of HazCom.)
Chemicals on JobeRet We use a variety of products. Many of these products contain one or more hazardous chemicals Most of the products we use can be grouped by their basic function or use. We will discuss which products fit in each group and will identity the associated hazards and how to detect and control them through engineering or administrative controls, as well as through

Pending the resolution ofthis litigation, the partaparmg associations make no warranty ttet the information contained herein will necessarily he accepted hr ()SHA

the use of personal protective equipment A list of the chemicals potentially found on our sites is attached to our written hazard communication program. (See the chapter entitled "Common Hazards on Construction Sites" for more details on
this.)
Written Hazard Communlcatfon Program We have a written program that outlines how we will provide you with information about hazardous workplace chemicals. It is our company policy on hazardous substances. Among other things, it includes:
a a list of hazardous substances on our jobsites, e our procedures for maintaining MSDSs. e our employee training program. a a statement outlining how information will be exchanged among contractors on our worksites.
. Physical and Health Hazards of Workplace Chemicals You will be trained about the hazards of chemicals in your work areas. (This may be done by category of hazards, but the employee should be made aware that information is available on the specific hazards of individual chemicals through Material Safety Data Sheets.) The training will include the following information:
the measures you can take to protect yourself from the hazards; our company procedures that provide you with protections, such as work practices, personal protective equipment,
engineering controls, etc.; the physical and health effects of the (groups of) chemicals; a how to detect the presence of a chemical; and a general emergency and first aid procedures.
How to Read Labels and Malarial Safety Data Sheets Labels: You should read product labels before working with a hazardous substance. Each label will have the identity of the hazardous chemical and a hazard warning. Original container labels will also have the name and address of the manufacturer.
The label should serve as a reminder of the information we are presenting in this training sessibn and of the information found in more detail on the Material Safety Data Sheet
It is essential that you read the hazard warning and use the chemical as prescribed by the label. If you have questions about a specific label, ask your supervisor or refer to the MSDS.
Material Safety Data Sheets: MSDSs provide a great deal of information about the chemicals we use. The chemical manufacturers are responsible for providing us with MSDSs. MSDSs for chemicals potentially found on our worksites are available ------------ (joejjion)________ (Refer to Chapter Five of this manual for information about how to read and understand MSDSs.)

GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS WERE INCREASED IN WORKERS EXPOSED TQ AMOSITE, CHRYSOTILE, OR MIXED FIBERS CONTAINING CROCIDOLITE. AN EXCESS OF LARYNGEAL CANCER HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED.
ASBESTOS IS AN EYE, SKIN, AND MUCOUS MEMBRANE IRRITANT. SMOKING ENHANCES THE RISK OF LUNG CANCER FROM EXPOSURE.
HEALTH EFFECTS AND FIRST AID
INK UION: ASBbjTOS: IRRITANT/CARCINOGEN.
ACUTE EXPOSURE- MAY CAUSE ACUTE IRRITATION AND COUGHING. CHRONIC EXPOSURE- PROLONGED INTENSE EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE ASBESTOSIS, AN
INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS OF LUNG TISSUE WHICH MAY DEVELOP FULLY WITHIN 7-9 YEARS, BUT ONSET IS TYPICALLY DELAYED 20-40 YEARS AFTER FIRST EXPOSURE. FATAL EXPOSURE MAY BE AS BRIEF AS 3 MONTHS DURING CHILDHOOD. THE INITIAL SYMPTOM IS A PROGRESSIVE EXERTIONAL DYSPNEA, FOLLOWED BY A DRY COUGH AND EXPECTORATION, CHEST PAIN, DECREASED VITAL CAPACITY, TACHYPNEA, PERSISTENT DRY RALES, CYANOSIS, CLUBBING OF THE FINGERS AND TOES, ANOREXIA, WEAKNESS, AND WEIGHT LOSS. RADIOLOGIC STUDIES MAY SHOW A DIFFUSE INCREASE IN LUNG DENSITY AND PLEURAL CALCIFICATION. SPONTANEOUS PLEURAL EFFUSION HAS OCCURRED IN ASBESTOS-EXPOSED WORKERS AS EARLY AS 3-4 YEARS AFTER INITIAL EXPOSURE. ASBESTOS WORKERS SHOW AN INCREASE IN PLEURAL AND PERITONEAL MESOTHELIOMAS, BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA, LUNG CANCER, CANCERS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT INCLUDING THE ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, COLON, AND RECTUM, AND CANCER OF THE LARYNX. MESOTHELIAL TUMORS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY BLOODY EFFUSION WITH PAIN, DYSPNEA, COUGH, WEIGHT LOSS, FATIGUE, HYPONATREMIA, AND DEATH. THE LATENT PERIOD FOR MESOTHELIOMA IS 3.5-30 YEARS; FOR LUNG CANCER, 15-30 YEARS. THE INCIDENCE OF LUNG CANCER AND PULMONARY FIBROSIS IN ASBESTOS-EXPOSED WORKERS IS INCREASED BY CIGARETTE SMOKING.
1RST AID- REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AREA TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. KEEP PERSON WARM AND AT REST. TR' " SYMPTOMATICALLY AND SUPPORTIVELY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
KIN CONTACT: 3BEST0S:
ACUTE EXPOSURE- DIRECT CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY PENETRATE THE SKIN AND RESULT IN "ASBESTOS CORNS", DUE TO THICKENING OF THE SKIN AROUND THE IMPLANTED FIBER. THESE USUALLY OCCUR ON THE HANDS

Kaep produet away from Ignition sources, such as heat, sparks, pilot lights, statte electricity, and open flames.
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE LIMITS (APPROXIMATE PERCENT BY VOLUME IN AIR)
Estimated values: Lower Flammable Limit 0.9%
Upper Flammable Limit 7%
EXTINGUISHING MEOIA AND FIRE FIOHTINO PROCEDURES Foam, water spray (fog), dry ehemieat, carbon dioxide and vaporizing liquid typo extinguishing agents may alt be suitable for extinguishing fires Involving this type of product, depending on size or potential size of firs and circumstances related to the situation. Plan fire protection and resoonse strategy through consultation with local fire protection authorities or appropriate speeieilets.
The following procedures for this type of product ere baaed on the recommendations in the National Fire Protection Association's *Flre Protection Quids on Hazardous Materials*, Eighth Edition (1984):
Use dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide to extinguish the fire. Water may be ineffective, but water should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. If a leak or spill has ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect men attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures. Minimize breathing of gases, veoor. fumes or decomposition proaiets. Use supplled-alr breathing equipment for enclosed or confined spaces or at otherwise needed.
NOTE: The Inclusion of the phrase "water may be Ineffective* Is to indicate that although water can be used to eoot and protect exposed materia), water may net extinguish the fire unless used under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters trained In fighting alt types of flammable liquid fires.
DECOMPOSITION PROOUCTS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS
Fumes, smoke, carbon isonexlda, aldehydes and ether decomposition products, in the case of Incomplete combustion.
EMPTY* CONTAINER MRNINB
`Empty* containers retain residue (liquid- and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. 00 NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD. 9RAZI. SOLDER, DRILL, ORINO OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME. SPARKS. STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH, Do not attempt to clean since residue Is difficult to remove.

E HEALTH AND HAZARD INFORMATION
VARIABILITY AMOND individuals - - Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons and aynthatle lubricant* pose
potential human health risks which way vary from parson to parson, as a precaution, exposure to liquids, vapor*, islets or fumes should be Minimized.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (Signs and syaptoan of exposure) Prolonged or repeated liquid contact with the akin will dry and dafat the skin, leading to possible irritation and dermatitis. High vapor conesntratIons (greater than approximately 1000 com. attainable at temperatures wall above ambient) are irritating to the eyea and the respiratory tract, and may cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowstrteea, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects, including death.
NATURE OF HAZARD ANO TOXICITY INFORMATION Prolonged or repeated akin contact with this product tends to remove skin oils, possibly leading to Irritation and dermatitis: however, based on human experience and available toxleologteal data, this product Is judged to be neither a 'corrosive* nor an 'irritant* by OSHA criteria.
Product contacting the eyes may cause eye Irritation.
Lifetime akin painting studies conducted by the American Petroleum Institute, Exxon and others have shown that similar products boiling between 175-370"C (350-700"F) usually produce skin tumors and/or akin eancar in laboratory mica. The degree of earctnogenie response was weak to noderate with a relatively long latent period. The liapl teat ions of these results for hunans have not been determined.
Limited studies on oils that are very active carcinogens have shown that washing the animals' skin with soap and water between applications greatly redueea tumor formation. These studies demonstrate the effectiveness of eiaansing the skin after contact.
Potential risks to humans can be minimized by observing good work practices and personal hygiene procedures generally recommendsd for petroleun products. Sea Section I for recommenced protection and precautions.
Laboratory animal studies have shown that prolonged and repeated inhalation exposure to light hydrocarbon vapors in the same naphtha boiling range as this product can produce adverse kidney effects in male rats. However, these effects were not observed In similar studies with female rats and mala and female mice and In limited studies with other animal species. Additionally, In a number of human studies, there was no clinical evidence of such offsets at normal occupational levela. It is therefore highly unltkeiy that the kidney affects observed in male rats have significant Implications for hunans.exposed at or below the recommended vapor limits in the workplace.
Product has a low order of acute oral and dermal toxicity, but minute amounts aspirated into the lungs during Ingestion or vomiting nay cause mild to severs pulmonary injury and possibly death.
This protttet is judged to have an acute oral LD30 (rat) greater than 5 g/kg of body weight, end an acute dermal LDSO (rabbit) greater than 3.IS g/kg of body weight.
Inhalation of components of exhaust from burning, such as carbon monoxtda. may cause death at high concentrations. Long-term repeated exposure of laboratory animals to whole diesel exhaust has resulted in an increased ineidenee of lung caneer. Exposure to exhaust fro* burning and dieset exhaust should be Minimized.
PRE-EXISTINB MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH NAT BE AOORAVATED BY EXPOSURE Petroleun Solvsnts/Petroleum Hydrocarbons - Skin contact may aggravate an existing dematltis.
