Chemical Handling Training

This document summarizes a training on chemical hazards commonly encountered at waste disposal sites. It describes the objectives of recognizing, explaining, and controlling chemical hazards. Various chemicals can be hazardous depending on their physical state, toxicity, usage, and other factors. Laws require classifying, labeling, and documenting chemicals in safety data sheets. Exposure routes include inhalation, ingestion, skin/eye contact. Health effects may be acute or chronic. Control methods include engineering solutions, safe work practices, and personal protective equipment. Proper emergency response is also outlined.

OBJECTIVES
 To:
 Recognize chemical
hazards commonly
encountered in the field.
 Explain warning properties
of various chemical
hazards.
 Describe how to evaluate
and control these hazards.
INTRODUCTION OF CHEMICAL
HAZARD

 Hazardous chemicals are


substances or preparations
that can cause harm either
through its physical and
chemical properties or its
toxicity.

 Chemicals can be hazardous


for numerous reasons and can
combine with other chemicals
to make new hazards.

 All hazards must be


considered when using and
storing chemicals.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
 Occupational Safety & Health
Act 1994
 OSH ( Classification, Labelling
& Safety Data Sheet of
 Hazardous Chemicals)
Regulation 2013
 OSH (Use & standards of
Exposure of Chemicals
Hazardous to Health) Regulation
2000.
 EQ (Scheduled Waste)
Regulation 2005
 The degree of hazard
associated with a particular
chemical will depend on:

 Its physical properties


 Its toxicity
 The way it is used
 The environment in which it
is encountered.
PHYSICAL CLASSIFICATION
Chemicals may be found in solid, liquid,
aerosol, or gas and vapor form.
The degree of danger varies according to
Solids Aerosols the form of the chemical and the factors
previously discussed.

Liquids Vapours
 A chemical may be hazardous even in
solid form.
 For example, individuals who are
sensitized to nickel may develop
dermatitis from skin contact with the
metal.
 Fuming solids emit toxic vapors that may
be inhaled.
 Some materials, such as pesticides, can
evaporate directly from solid form.
 Some solids are not a hazard alone but
become hazardous when they come into
contact with other chemicals (e.g., acid in
contact with iron can release hydrogen
gas).
GAS/AEROSOLS
 Aerosol is a term used to describe fine
particles (solid or liquid) suspended in
air.
 Examples of aerosols include dust,
fumes, mist, fog, smoke, and smog.
 Knowing how various aerosols are
generated will help you anticipate
where aerosol hazards may exist in
the field
 Aerosols may be a hazard to the eyes,
skin, and the respiratory system.
LIQUIDS
 Many liquids are hazardous in
contact with the skin. They either
damage the skin or they are easily
absorbed through the skin.

 chemicals that can damage or be


absorbed through the skin and will
have this effect on all skin, not just
the hands.

 The degree of hazard associated with


a liquid depends on its
characteristics and how it is handled.
• A toxicity is a chemical properties that can be poisonous or cause health effects.
• Effect through smell, physical contact and etc.
• Toxicity level determine by dose (quantity) and duration (time).

Toxicity degree = dose x time

• Examined and tested for its effectiveness by a hygiene technician at appropriate


intervals, each interval being no longer than twelve months.

• Every engineering control equipment shall be maintained and always operated while
any machinery or plant is in operation, and for such time thereafter as to comply with
subregulation 14(2)

• Prevention/mitigation program and management by company in order to help


increase awareness.
• Provide ERP, SOP and fully facility and equipment in case of accident happen.

EMERGENCY HANDLING
CHEMICAL SPILLAGE:
•Spillage prevention
SPILL RESPONSE GUIDES:
•A spill of more than 500mL is an emergency that requires area evacuation and
notification of the Safety Officer.

•Spills of less than 500mL can be cleaned-up by local personnel who are adequately
trained and have the proper spill response equipment available.

•If spill absorbent is available in the immediate area, dike around the spill. This will
prevent the spill from spreading further.

•Immediately extinguish any open flames and, and isolate and evacuate the spill area.

•Shut down ventilation system to prevent the spread of vapor throughout the building.
In addition, close any open doors to also help prevent the spread of vapor.

•Assemble spill team members and the spill response kit outside the spill area. Obtain
and read the MSDS for the substance.
