HAZCOM

Material Safety Data Sheet

Container labelling

Solvent and corrosives

Disposal

Hot work

Spills - CIRT

FIRE AWARENESS

On discovery of a fire, call ERT, Channel ??

If trained to do so, tackle fire with extinguisher

Alert fellow worker

FIRE AWARENESS - Cont.

If fire cannot be extinguished after using 2 extinguishers, evacuate

Know your Company assembly point

Never re-enter the building/area for personal property

ERT will conduct head count at assembly point

ERT only will instruct when it’s safe to return to work

Stay off Channel ?? when emergency is in progress

FIRE AWARENESS - Cont.

SPILLS

Do not touch substance

Call ERT Barrier area

Advise fellow workers

Special PPE required for different chemicals

CONTAINER LABELLING

All containers must be labelled

Label must show content and associated hazards

Secondary containers must be labelled as per original

Container must be suitable for proposed contents (i.e. spark arrestor on metal petrol cans)

MSDS

All substances coming on site must have a MSDS

MSDS goes to Safety Dept.

Must be in 16-part, EC format

Explain purpose of MSDS

Show overhead of MSDS

DISPOSAL

Disposal must be in accordance with MSDS

All waste disposal via ??????????

Waste must be in identifiable bags (i.e. corrosive solvents)

Minimum requirements - double bag - may need strong chemical bins

SOLVENTS / CORROSIVES

Product identified from MSDS if solvent or corrosive

Specific PPE require for solvents

Highly flammable - may require forced ventilation or extraction

DISPOSAL OFSOLVENTS / CORROSIVES

All solvent waste must be disposed of in “yellow solvent bags”

All corrosive waste must be disposed of in “blue corrosive waste bags”

HOT WORK

Hot work requires permit and must be looked at

in relation to work being carried on in your area

(i.e. solvents, etc.)

Lockout - tagout requirements

Special circumstances

Summary

WHAT IS HAZARDOUS ENERGY?

Hazardous energy is the energy stored that if

released may cause a serious accident or

physical damage.

CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS ENERGIES

Purpose:

To ensure persons who work on or around

hazardous energy sources are aware of controls

to prevent injury or accidents.

5 TYPES OF HAZARDOUS ENERGY

Electrical

Chemical

Kinetic

Thermal Radiation

Pressure

TYPES AND RISKS

Electrical 220 - 380 v, high voltage - substations

Chemical reaction, fire, explosion

Kinetic release of a spring, moving parts, falling objects

Thermal Radiation hot/cold, radiation

Pressure pressurised gases, vacuum pumps, pneumatic cylinders

LOCKOUT

The placement of a lockout device on an

energy isolation device. This ensures that the

energy isolating device and the systems it

controls cannot be accidentally operated.

The placement of a tagout device on an energy

isolation device to indicate that the isolation

device and the system being controlled may

not be operated until the tagout device is

removed.

TAGOUT

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Any equipment able to store hazardous energy must have lockout and tagout capability.

Only trained and authorised persons can perform lockout - tagout.

A lockout - tagout device cannot be removed on behalf of another person, unless an approved transfer procedure has taken place.

SITUATIONS REQUIRING THE USE OF LOCKOUT - TAGOUT

When servicing, maintaining or repairing mechanical equipment where parts could create a safety hazard.

When working on pipelines that carry hazardous chemicals (e.g. high pressure, toxic, corrosive, etc.).

On electrical circuits and systems where a high risk of electrical shock exists.

Where other hazardous energies exists that may cause injury if intentionally released during service or maintenance.

TAGOUT

Tagout alone is permitted only in circumstances where a lockout device cannot be used.

Seek approval from your supervisor before commencing any work on equipment that cannot be locked out.

It is your responsibility to remove your tag or lock prior to closeout of the work permit.

TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS

A tag may only be removed by the person who attached it

A tag should never be bypassed, ignored or defeated

A tag must be able to withstand the environmental conditions

A tag must be securely attached so it is not inadvertently defeated

A tag must only be transferred when ownership has to be changed for a task

The new Owner must affix his tag with all relevant details and ensure the work permit shows the same details.

LOCKOUT - TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS

Always follow the site lockout and tagout rules to control hazardous energies

Use only approved locks and tags

A lock or tag may only be removed by the person who applied it

Always use a multiple lockout clasp in case others need to lockout

LOCKOUT - TAGOUT REQUIREMENTS

Only one key to one lock

Where a machine or its supporting equipment are to be worked on all relevant permits must be used

Where piped systems or exhaust ducting is to be worked on, then the system Owner must sign off the respective permits

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Abandoned locks

Change of shift

Multiple workers

SUMMARY

Types of hazardous energy with risks:

Electrical

electrical shock burns fire / explosion secondary injuries

Chemical

chemical splash inhalation burns dermatitis cancer

SUMMARY

Types of hazardous energy with risks:

Kinetic crushing of body parts amputation entanglement

Thermal Radiation burns hot/cold fire eye injuries skin cancer

SUMMARY

Types of hazardous energy with risks:

Pressure punctures secondary injuries bends - air blockage in the bloodstream physical hazards - flying particles

Control all potentially hazardous situations by using a lockout - tagout system
