Any Questions Understanding SDS?

Asbestos Regulated by: OSHA – 29 CFR part 1910.1001 EPA – 40 CFR part 763 DOT – 49 CFR part 173 DEC – 6 NYCRR part 364 DOH – 10 NYCRR part 73 DOL – 12 NYCRR part 56

Which of these is Asbestos?

Asbestos The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Good Strong, durable mineral resistant to fire and chemicals Like many facilities built in the late 60’s early 70’s, present in some older buildings on campus Long term exposure can cause asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma Latency period is 15-40 years We have a management plan

Asbestos Regulated in materials 1% asbestos Can only be confirmed in a certified laboratory Asbestos fiber 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair Can be suspended in the air for up to 3 days If the material is in good condition e.g. sealed, painted, it is not a risk to your health. Two forms: Friable – easily pulverize in you hand (insulation) Non-Friable – unable to pulverize in your hand (floor tile)

Any Questions on Asbestos?

Personal Protection Equipment OSHA – 29 CFR 1910, 1915, 1926 Eyes/ face Head Foot Hand Hearing Respiratory

Basic PPE Office Grounds Sturdy leather work boots/shoes & long pants Custodial Business casual Closed-toed shoes. No tank tops. Head phones – At the discretion of the supervisor.

Noise in Your Work Environment OSHA Designated Exposure Limits 85 dBA - Action Level for HCP 90 dBA - Permissible 8-hr. TWA Two-Foot Rule (Arms Length) Wear Hearing Protection when doing loud tasks – ask your supervisor where to get some earplugs

Grounds – Hazard Analysis for Trimmer (Weed-Eater) Eyes (glasses) Heat exhaustion (fluids) Ears (plugs) Sun (sun screen) Feet (work shoes) Traffic (vest) Legs (long pants) Bees/Ticks (repellent) Head (hard hat) Poison Ivy (clothing) Vibration (gloves/ alternate hands) Pollen (dust mask) Lightening

Custodial – Hazard Analysis for Cleaning Eyes (splash goggles) Hands (gloves) Nitrile for chemicals Canvas or leather for general purpose Heat Exhaustion (fluids) Not PPE, but ensure lifting with legs, not back

Fire Safety Annual testing of Fire Alarms, Detectors, Sprinklers Do you still need to evacuate if there is a Drill? YES!

Fire – Basic Systems

Fire Emergency Response Rescue – rescue other in immediate danger Alert – Shout Fire! Or Pull fire alarm and Dial Emergency Phone number 312-5555 from a cell or 911 from a campus phone Contain – Close all doors Evacuate – not Extinguish. Get out!

Fire – Blocked Exit

Heat Stress Exposure to heat can cause illness an death. Risks High temps, low breeze, direct sun Heavy physical labor Low water intake Recent alcohol or caffeine consumption

Heat Exhaustion Symptoms Headaches, dizziness, fainting Weakness, cramps Thirst, nausea, or vomiting

Heat Stroke Symptoms Confused, unable to think clearly, pass out, collapse, or seizures May Stop Sweating – Emergency!

Heat Stress Protection Know symptoms; monitor yourself and others Drink plenty of fluids before you are thirsty. Heat Index 100o F, have a pint of water per hour. Minimize direct sun Avoid beverages containing alcohol or caffeine Wear lightweight, light colored, loose-fitting clothing

Confined Space OSHA 29CFR 1910.146 Area not designed for continuous occupancy Limited egress Dangerous atmosphere Extraction plan and Attendant Examples: Crawl spaces Manholes Ductwork

Confined Space Summer Students: Do not Enter !!

Excavating/Trenching OSHA 29CFR 1926.651 Excavations 4’ require: Competent Person Trench box or sloping Means of Egress

Excavation/Trenching Summer Students: Do not Enter or go near trench!

Lockout/ Tagout OSHA 29CFR 1910.147 Control of Hazardous Energy Electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, gravity Isolates the energy during service

Lockout/ Tagout NEVER Remove! Find a tag on floor, report it!

Fall Protection OSHA 29CFR 1926 Scaffolds Extension Ladders Step Ladders Slips, Trips, Falls

Scaffolds Summer Students not allowed on scaffolding without additional training. Coordinate with supervisor if necessary.

Ladder Basics Ladders must be inspected before each use. Face the ladder when ascending or descending. While climbing, maintain three points of contact at all times. Keep your body centered on the ladder. Never let your belt buckle pass either side rail. Avoid setting ladders up in high traffic areas or barricade the area around ladder. Do NOT use metal or aluminum ladders near exposed energized electrical equipment.

Extension Ladders Inspect for good condition Ensure placement has good footing 4:1 Ratio Falls — 349 out of 874 total deaths in construction in CY 2015 (39.9%)

Step Ladders Only use in the fully open position on firm level ground. Do not use a stepladder that is folded or in a leaning position. Never sit/stand on the top two rungs. Consider work height when selecting a stepladder Falls — 349 out of 874 total deaths in construction in CY 2015 (39.9%)

Step Ladders

Slips, Trips, Falls Eliminate Hazards – If you see something, correct it or talk to your supervisor Common Sense Warn others Don’t climb on shelving or chairs

Slips Weather conditions and cleaning may cause floors to be wet. Clean up spills immediately Use signage and caution tape

Trips Eliminate clutter, cords Be aware of uneven surfaces

Bloodbourne Pathogens OSHA 29CFR 1910.1030 Pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease – Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV Regulation developed mainly for healthcare personnel and first responders
