Study Notes
Responsibility for Labelling
- Manufacturers are accountable for the correct labelling of hazardous substances they produce locally.
- Importers, distributors, or retailers are responsible for the labelling of hazardous substances imported for local distribution.
- When hazardous substances are repackaged by distributors, wholesalers, or retailers, they assume labelling responsibility.
- Employers must label hazardous substances used in their workplace that are not supplied by manufacturers or distributors.
- Employers must properly label substances transferred to new containers and identify unlabeled substances they receive.
Labelling Guidelines
- Labels should retain product symbols and names, statements of hazards, and precautionary measures for any additional risks.
- Condensed labels exempt precautionary measures clearly shown in hazard statements.
Testing and Ventilation
- Workroom atmospheres must be tested annually for toxic dust, fumes, and vapors to ensure they remain within safe thresholds.
- Ventilation and exhaust equipment require regular inspection and testing for safety and operational efficiency.
Dust Control
- Design workplaces to minimize dust accumulation; frequent cleaning is required.
- Clean dust-producing areas daily with vacuum equipment, especially in locations where flammable dust is processed.
- Floors should be smooth, impervious, and easy to clean; loose materials that can trap dust should be avoided.
Workplace Hygiene
- Areas where toxic or irritating substances are handled must be cleaned daily outside of work hours.
- Workers must wash hands and faces before eating or leaving premises to prevent contamination.
- Consumption of food, drink, or tobacco in workrooms is prohibited.
- Workers must report any physical complaints related to exposure to toxic substances.
Emergency Protocols
- Install warning devices in workplaces handling hazardous substances to alert personnel of potential danger.
- Provide training for workers on emergency procedures, including pollution control and evacuation.
Handling of Hazardous Materials
- Corrosive substances should be moved in bulk using safe systems to prevent spillage from small containers.
- Tanks for hot or corrosive liquids must be equipped with proper drainage systems and containment measures to prevent leaks.
- Above-ground non-flammable liquid storage tanks require protective measures, including surround pits to manage spills.
Lead Safety Measures
- Properly designed local exhaust systems must be in place to control lead dust and fumes.
- Workers handling lead should be provided with personal protective equipment (PPE) at no cost, which must be properly maintained.
- Smoking, eating, or storing food in areas where lead is handled is prohibited.
- Suitable storage lockers and washing facilities must be available for workers exposed to lead.
