Study Notes
Chemical Exposure and Safety
- Chronic responses to chemical exposures occur after prolonged exposure, not shortly.
- Keeping solvents in a non-ventilated area is unsafe and not advised.
- A corrosive substance can completely dissolve another, typically liquid in form.
- Maximum PPE does not always ensure safety; proper methods must be followed instead.
Protective Equipment and Regulations
- Class C helmets do not resist electrical voltage.
- The toxic dose is not uniform across all living organisms; it varies.
- Emergency response procedures should not include unnecessary clarification steps.
- General slip and fall protection under OSHA standards is classified as horizontal.
Site Management and Planning
- Changes in the environment or job tasks necessitate reassessment indicators at a site.
- Contingency plans must account for both on-site and off-site personnel.
- A decontamination plan is essential before handling hazardous substances.
Toxic Chemicals and Regulations
- Synergistic interaction occurs when exposure to multiple toxic chemicals results in more severe effects.
- Federal regulations can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under specific titles.
- Treatment protocols for solvent exposure often include a combination of specific methods.
Compliance and Responsibilities
- The Scope and Application paragraph in CFR outlines who is subject to regulations.
- For an entry team, a minimum of three members is typically required.
- Injection is the least common method of toxic chemical entry at workplaces.
Environmental Laws
- CERCLA regulates the cleanup of abandoned hazardous waste sites prior to RCRA.
- Key steps in an employer's Hazard Communication Program do not require weekly review meetings of rules.
Emergency Preparedness
- Decontamination facilities must be located in the Contamination Reduction Zone.
- Not all workers are responsible for evaluating hazards—this falls under specific roles.
- Pre-planning is crucial for both emergency and non-emergency medical treatments.
Hazard Identification and Response
- A contingency plan outlines emergency response policies and procedures.
- In case of electrical shock, the first action should be to shut off the power.
- Off-site surveys are critical and should be conducted prior to on-site activities.
Risk Assessment and Safety Protocols
- The Site Health and Safety Officer evaluates risk levels and necessary mitigation procedures.
- Explosives, organic peroxides, and oxidizers are classified as chemical health hazards.
- Refuge areas may contain specific survival equipment for emergencies.
General Safety Guidelines
- Any condition that poses a threat to health, property, or the environment is termed a hazard.
- The required level of site control varies based on specific circumstances of the site.
- Immediate cleaning of blood spills without training or proper equipment is not recommended.
Signage and Communication
