John Friend 7/11/84 Safety Directors Meeting Page 2 - Labels and Other Forms of Warning - Continued - Every container of hazardous chemicals must be labeled. Methods of doing this can include signs, placards, process sheets, batch tickets, operating procedures, etc. A concern here is we can do alot short of using signs for our employees but the contractor issue is very sticky unless we use signs. - Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) - We must develop or obtain a MSDS for every hazardous chemical we use/produce. (To determine what is hazardous though, we have to have one on every chemical) - The current OSHA MSDS does not satisfy the requirements of this new standard. There are a number of requirements for the content and form of any MSDS. - New chemical information must be shared within three months of discovery of new information. - We will need to develop a local system that requires obtaining a material safety data sheet, upon first order, annually, or within three months of discovery of new information. % - We will also need to put all material safety data sheets into a common format to facilitate the training of plant personnel. - Employee Information and Training - Information - we have to tell plant personnel: + the requirements of the standard; + where hazardous chemicals are present in the plant; and, + all about our written program, chemical list and material safety data sheets. - Training - shall include at least: t I + methods of detection + hazards of chemicals + protection measures + details of labeling and MSDS Systems We must get busy in the following areas: 1. We must inventory the plant for chemicals, manufacturers, use areas, and use volumes. VAB.0001088254
