Unit 5.7 HAZMAT Flashcards
Objectives of Hazardous Materials Control and Management Program (HMC&M)
- All U.S. Navy ships are required to Implement the Consolidated Hazardous Material Reutilization and Inventory Management Program (CHRIMP)
- Reduce onboard quantities of HAZMAT through inventory control and management
What is the purpose of CHRIMP?
A HAZMAT control and management program that requires HAZMAT to be centrally controlled onboard the ship and submarines
What does CHRIMP require?
- establishment/installation of Hazardous Material Minimization Centers (HAZMINCENs) on ships for the centralized management of shipboard hazardous waste materials:
- – Shipboard HAZMAT
- – Used HAZMAT
- – Excess HAZMAT
- – Empty HAZMAT containers
What is the HAZMAT Information Resources System (HMIRS)
HMIRS is a Department of Defense (DoD) repository (web based) for Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and related information on hazardous materials
Describe the HMIRS
- Managed by Defense Logistic Agency (DLA)
- Navy point of contact for HMRIS is the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPH)
- HMRIS can be access through the internet or CD-ROM
Why was HMIRS established?
- Assists Federal Government personnel who handle, store, transport, use, or dispose of HAZMATs
- Provides a means of sharing and communicating information on HAZMAT procured by DoD components with other commands
DOD 6050.5LR
- Proprietary or restricted information
- – 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
- – Access requires both a user ID and a pass code
DOD 6050.5L
- Non-Proprietary or Unclassified Information
- – CD-ROM distribution within the command
- – Access requires a User Identity (ID) only
MDR Responsibilities of the HAZMAT control program
- Assist in training of assigned personnel regarding health information and PPE requirements
- *Maintain hard copies of MSDS or CD-ROM
- Provide medical assistance in HM spills or mishaps
- *Utilize HM inventory list to help identify exposures to HM emergencies
- Use SDS information provided by the HAZMAT coordinator
what is the purpose of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- Technical bulletins containing information about materials, such as composition, chemical and physical characteristics, health and safety hazards, and precautions for safe use
What are the important sections of the SDS?
- Demographic information
- *Company name, Address, Emergency phone numbers
- Hazardous Ingredients/Identity Information
- Limit Values (TLV)
- Chemical Identity: common names
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Level (PEL)
- *Physical/Chemical Characteristics
- – Boiling point
- – Solubility in water
- – Appearance and odor
- – Melting Point
- *Fire and Explosion Hazard
- – Flammable limits
- – Extinguishing media
- – Special firefighting procedures
- *Reactivity Data
- – Stability or incompatibility to other products
- *Health Hazard Data
- – Modes of entry
- – Acute and chronic symptoms
- – Emergency First Aid Procedures
- – Carcinogenicity
LIST the procedures when identifying an item on the HMIRS
- Federal Stock Number
- NIIN (Last 9 numbers of FSN)
- Part/Catalog number used by manufacturer
- Trade name
- Chemical name
What do you use when determining the proper Medical screening required for individual workers?
- Medical Matrix
What are Hazard specific requirements onboard a ship?
- Its aim is to protect workers who are exposed or potentially exposed to HM in the workplace
- Identifies workers who need examination, establishing exam content, the periodicity of exams, performance of exams and the documentation of results which provide statistical data to evaluate trends and effects of exposure
