HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONTROL PROGRAM Flashcards
(HMC&M)
Hazardous Materials Control and Management Program
** Objectives of Hazardous Materials Control and Management Program (HMC&M)
(1) In order to comply with CNO direction all U.S. Navy ships are required to implement the consolidated hazardous material reutilization and inventory Management program (CHRIMP).
**(2) Reduce onboard quantities of HAZMAT through inventory control and management
CHRIMP
Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization and
Inventory Management Program
HAZMINCENs
Installation of Hazardous Material Minimization Centers
** CHRIMP Purpose
A HAZMAT control and management program that requires HAZMAT to be centrally controlled onboard the ships and submarines.
HAZMINCENs Installations
BIG DECKS
**HAZMINCENs Installations Requirements
establishment/installation of Hazardous Material Minimization
Centers (HAZMINCENs) on ships for centralized management of shipboard hazardous waste material:
**HAZMINCENs on ships for centralized management of shipboard
hazardous waste material:
(a) Shipboard HAZMAT
(b) Used HAZMAT
(c) Excess HAZMAT
(d) Empty HAZMAT containers
HMIRS
HAZMAT Information Resource System
** HAZMAT Information Resource System (HMIRS) Purpose
(1) HMIRS is a Department of Defense (DoD) repository (Web based) for Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and related information on hazardous materials.
(a) Managed by Defense Logistic Agency (DLA)
(b) Navy point of contact for HMRIS is the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPH)
(c) HMRIS can be access through the internet or CD-ROM.
HMIRS was established to
- *(a) Assist Federal Government personnel who handle, store, transport, use, or dispose of HAZMATs.
(b) Provides a means of sharing and communicating information on HAZMAT procured by DoD components with other commands.
** DOD 6050.5LR
**1. Proprietary or Restricted information ( remember R is restricted!!)
- It contains all the ingredients and their proportionate levels used in the manufacture of a product.
- The data contained in this CD shall be protected by local activities.
**4. Access requires both User ID and a Pass code.
**DOD 6050.5L
**1. Non-Proprietary or Unclassified Information.
- CD-ROM distribution within the command.
**3. Access requires a User Identity (ID) only
MDR Responsibilities
(1) Assist in training of assigned personnel regarding health information and PPE requirements.
** (2) Maintain hard copies of SDS or CD-Rom.
(3) Provide medical assistance in HM spills or mishaps.
** (4) Utilize HM inventory list to help identify exposures to HM emergencies.
(5) Use SDS information provided by the HAZMAT coordinator.
** Safety Data Sheet (SDS) purpose
Technical bulletins containing information about materials, such as composition, chemical and physical characteristics, health and safety hazards, and precautions for safe use. Lot number and expiration dates are not found in the SDS.
Important sections of SDS (12 of them)
(a) Demographic information.
***(b) Company name, Address, Emergency phone numbers.
(c) Hazardous Ingredients/Identity Information
(d) Threshold Limit Values (TLV).
(e) Chemical Identity – common names.
(f) OSHA Permissible Exposure Level (PEL).
- *(g) Physical/Chemical Characteristics.
* 1) Boiling point.
* 2) Solubility in water.
* 3) Appearance and odor.
* 4) Melting Point. - *(h) Fire and Explosion Hazard.
* 1) Flammable Limits.
* 2) Extinguishing Media.
* 3) Special fire Fighting Procedures.
(i) Reactivity Data.
1) Stability or Incompatibility to other products.
(j) Health Hazard Data.
1) Modes of entry.
2) Acute and chronic symptoms.
3) Emergency First Aid Procedures.
4) Carcinogenicity.
- *(k) Precautions for Safe Handling and Use.
* 1) Waste Disposal Methods.
* 2) Spill Procedures.
(l) Control Measures.
1) Personal Protective Equipment.
2) Ventilation Dilution method.
3) Work Hygienic Practices.
**used when determining the proper Medical screening required for
individual workers.
medical matrix
**NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
created a system that assigns hazard ratings to materials.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
**Four categories and colors of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Label
a) Fire Hazard (Red) – Flash point by various temperatures.
b) Health Hazard (Blue) – Degree of health hazard.
c) Reactivity (Yellow) – Stability of item or type of reaction when combined.
d) Specific Hazard (White) – Acid, Alkali, Oxidizer, Corrosive, Radioactive.
Work Center Supervisor’s Responsibilities - training
**(a) Train workers on the use of SDS and ensure the SDS is available for review.
(b) Train personnel with proper Personal Protective Equipment and inform them of the hazards associated with the material.
**(c) Inform workers where a copy of SDS can be obtained.
**most important parts of nine (9) phases of action
- Discovery and Notification (work center supervisor, OOD, CDO, DCA)
- Follow up reports (safety officer, medical, HAZMAT Coordinator
