Operating Discipline 12 Industrial Hygiene Methanes 12.4 Communication and Training J 12.4.1 Scope Hazcom Reference Document Facility Hazard Communication Program This document serves as the facility written Hazard Communication (Hazcom) Program. This document resides in the Industrial Hygiene Section of the Plant Operating Discipline Files. This document, containing hazard communication policies and practices specific to this facility, when used in conjunction with the Hazcom reference document, comprises the written Hazcom program for this facility. The current version of the Hazcom reference document is available electronically on one of the following File Servers using the paths listed: o Michigan Div. Operating Discipline File Server (via MD0633): MDCV03/OPERDISC/DOS/IND_HYG/IHREFERENCE DOCS/HAZREF MDCV03/OPERDISC/MAC/INDHYG/IHREFERENCE DOCS/HAZREF The current version of the Hazcom Facility Template is available electronically on one of the following File Servers using the paths listed: o Michigan Div.

MSDS Coordinator Location/Accessibility How Filed Obtaining MSDS's if Not Available From File The following is responsible for overseeing the MSDS file: o IH Coordinator If an updated/revised MSDS is received, it is filed in the MSDS file and the old MSDS is discarded. In Michigan, revised/updated MSDS are listed on the MIOSHA new/revised MSDS poster. The MSDS for chemicals handled or stored in the plant are maintained in the Hazard Communication Manual which is located in Bldg. 1617 (Control Room) and are accessible 24 hours a day. MSDS's are filed according to the following: o MSDS are filed alphabetically and organized by usage category (raw material, lab chemical, shop chemical etc.) For non-QA/QC facilities, contact the facility MSDS coordinator who will contact purchasing and/or the vendor and request that an MSDS be sent/faxed "as soon as possible". Another option is to call Industrial Hygiene.

This section describes how the Hazcom list for this facility is maintained. Hazcom List Format Hazcom List Updating Hazcom List Responsibility Hazcom List Records Management Location of Hazcom list The Hazcom list contains all hazardous chemicals (as defined in 1910.1200) handled by this facility and the year the list was generated. The Hazcom list is maintained as: Hazcom list spreadsheet maintained in the Manual The Hazcom list is updated through the following: The Hazcom list is updated by the facility annually The following individual is responsible for creating and maintaining the facility's Hazcom list: IH Coordinator The Hazcom list is retained for the period defined in the Dow record retention guidelines (Industrial Hygiene: Section number 1502B). A copy of the current year's Hazcom list is filed behind the The Hazardous Chemicals List in the Manual Labeling Responsibility The following individual(s) are responsible for overseeing the labeling of hazardous chemicals found in the listed containers/vessels: Containers/vessels Shipped containers In-plant portable containers Stationary Vessels Person(s) Responsible Plant Logistics Coordinator Person who filled the Container Plant Maintenance Supervisor All employees are responsible for ensuring tbat containers they are handling are properly labeled. Stationary The chemical identity of chemicals contained in stationary vessels can be derived using the Vessel Labeling following method(s). The appropriate hazard warnings are obtained by reviewing the applicable MSDS's. Option 1 2 Method MOD graphics Labeling Description Vessel identification is determinedfrom MOD graphics in the control room. Contents of vessels can be determinedfrom the computer/computer graphics.

Vessel identification table should include : vessel name and/or number vessel location vessel chemical contents The List is located in the Plant Operating Discipline files and in the Manual. 4 P&lDs Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams and process fl w sheets are used to identify the chemical contents of vessels. Bldg. 1617 and Bldg. 1701 5 Written process Contents identification are defined in a written process description description, as commonly found in Sop's which are maintained in the Plant Operating Discipline files. Non-Stationary Container Labeling Labeling supplies for this facility can be found in Bldg. 1604 (Loading Lab), Bldg. 1702 (Warehouse), and Bldg. 1703 (Process Lab). The following methods are used to label portable containers: Option 1 Method Fill out the Label using labeling guide 2 Use Example Label Description Facility personnel complete labels using a label guide. 1) The Dow internal sample labeling guide (the Dow labeling standard can be found in Appendix G of the Hazcom Reference Document) in combination with MSD sheets/ T.I.M.E. sheets or 2) The T.I.M.E. "L" report Facility personnel use an example ofa properly completed label as basis for creating new label. Identification of The contents of unlabeled pipelines may be obtained by using any of the following methods: Pipeline Contents 1) Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams 2) Mod graphics Once the contents of the pipeline have been identified, the hazards of the pipeline contents can be obtained by reviewing the appropriate MSDS.
