Compliance with regulatory agencies
Identifying potential risks and dangers
within the workplace. This often involves
risk assessments and safety audits.
Hazard identification
Implementing measures to mitigate identified
hazards. This can include redesigning
processes, using safety barriers, or
implementing safety protocols.
Prevention and control
Providing employees with the
knowledge and skills they need to work
safely. This includes safety training
programs, emergency response drills,
and ongoing safety education.
Education and trainings
Regularly reviewing and assessing safety
procedures and protocols to ensure they are
effective. This can involve both internal and
external audits.
Audits and inspections
Making physical changes to the
workplace to enhance safety. This might
involve redesigning machinery or
improving ventilation systems.
Engg modifications
This safety procedure provides guidelines for
safely working around electrical hazards.
Electrical safety practices
Those persons who are permitted to work on or near
exposed energized parts and are trained in the applicable
electrical safe work practices.
Qualified person
Employees will be provided with adequate light to work on energized equipment or
equipment will be relocated to ensure adequate light is available.
Illumination
A ______
can help prevent electrocution.
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
Classified as working with the
hands above shoulder
height.
Overhead work
overhead
condition with the potential to
cause physical impairment
to people.
Overhead hazard
a fact sheet developed by manufacturers describing the
chemical properties of a product.
Material Safety Data Sheet
The term “Material Safety Data Sheet” has been changed
to _______ to comply with a format
required by OSHA to be consistent with the United
Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification
and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
“Safety Data Sheet” (SDS)
Following GHS guidelines, SDS must include ____ specific sections which are grouped into ____
categories
16, 4
Part of sds
Product Identifier, common names/synonyms, recommended
use, restrictions on use, manufacturer or distributor’s details
(name, address, etc.)
Identification
Hazard classification, signal word, hazard statements, pictograms,
precautionary statements, and descriptions of unclassified hazard
Hazard identification
Part of sds
Safe handling and storing, general hygiene, conditions for safe
storage, specific storage needs, and storage incompatibilities
Handling and storage
Part of sds
What to do during spill, leakage and release, emergency procedures,
protective equipment and appropriate clean up and containment
methods
Accidental Release
Measures
lists of max amount of safe personal exposure and protective
measures, appropriate engineering controls, PPE, any special
material or resistance requirements for PPE, OSHA permissible
exposure limits, threshold limit values, etc.
Exposure control/personal protection
This section identifies the hazards of
the chemical presented on the SDS
and the appropriate warning
information associated with those
hazards.
Hazard identification
Under the HCS, any chemical that is classified
as a physical hazard, a health hazard, a simple
asphyxiant, combustible dust, pyrophoric gas,
or hazard not otherwise classified is
considered a ______.
hazardous chemical
chemical that is
classified as posing one of the following
hazardous effects: explosive; flammable (gases,
aerosols, liquids, or solids); oxidizer (liquid,
solid or gas); self-reactive; pyrophoric (liquid or
solid); self-heating; organic peroxide; corrosive
to metal; gas under pressure; or in contact with
water emits flammable gas.
Physical hazard
chemical that is
classified as posing one of the following
hazardous effects: acute toxicity (any route of
exposure); skin corrosion or irritation; serious
eye damage or eye irritation; respiratory or skin
sensitization; germ cell mutagenicity;
carcinogenicity; reproductive toxicity; specific
target organ toxicity (single or repeated
exposure); or aspiration hazard.
