    • HazMat Transportation
    • HAZWOPER
    BACKGROUND
    INFORMATION
    WHAT IS A HAZARDOUS
    MATERIAL?
    Hazardous materials (aka hazmat) are chemical substances that if
    released or misused can pose a threat to property, the
    environment, or health. Such chemicals are prevalent in many
    industries and products, including agriculture, medicine, research,
    and consumer product development. Hazardous materials can be:
    • Carcinogens
    • Toxins
    • Irritants
    • Damaging to skin, lungs, eyes, mucous
    membranes
    • Combustible
    • Flammable
    • Explosive
    • Reactive,
    • Compressed gases
    • Etc.
    APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
    • OSHA
    • Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200(a)(1)
    • Purpose:
    • Ensure that hazards of all chemical produced or imported are
    classified
    • And that information concerning classified hazards is
    transmitted to employers and employees

    CHEMICAL
    MANAGEMENT
    GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM
    AND SAFETY DATA SHEETS

    The Globally Harmonized System


    (GHS) of Classification and Labeling
    of Chemicals includes Safety Data
    Sheets (SDS). The GHS is a framework
    that standardizes chemical hazard
    communication elements and hazard
    classification criteria around the
    world. SDSs are a vital component of
    the GHS and global chemical safety.
    SDS
    • Standardized 16-part
    format
    • Manufacturer
    provides SDS
    • Must have SDS for all
    chemicals on-site
    CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT
    BEST PRACTICES
     Label all chemical containers
     Store in appropriate containers and temperatures
     Develop and update chemical inventories
     Good housekeeping – reduce hazardous waste
     Develop emergency response and spill clean-up plan
     Train personnel
     Purchase environmentally preferable products
     Purchase only amounts that can be reasonably expected
    to be used up before expiration
    WASTE MANAGEMENT THROUGH
    CHEMICAL INVENTORY
    Inventory Reduced risk and cost due to
    Management reduced inventory and waste
    generation

    Sharing chemicals across


    Efficient Use departments reduces purchasing
    quantities and costs

    Timely Collection Reduced storage and disposal costs


    and Disposal due to minimized on-site chemical
    quantities

    Adequate
    Monitoring and Reduced risk and potential errors by
    Inspections improving information tracking
    CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT
    INVENTORY EXAMPLE
    HAZMAT
    TRANSPORTATION
    HAZMAT TRANSPORTATION
    • Governed by DOT
    • 49 CFR 100-185
    • Applicable to schools?
    1. If a school has unused and unneeded hazardous materials,
    which are still usable, and offers to give it to another user
    (different school, other government entity, off-site tribal
    entity), the school could be offering for shipment.
    2. All hazardous waste shipments are hazmat shipments.

    Note: 49 CFR encompasses many requirements, including


    “function-specific” training, and it is not the intent of this
    training session to cover those requirements.
    HAZMAT TRANSPORTATION
    • To offer shipment, DOT HazMat
    Shipper Certification is required by
    49 CFR 172.704 (Subpart H)
    HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS
    AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
    WHAT IS HAZWOPER?
    HAZWOPER: Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response. Aims to
    prevent and minimize the risk of injury and illness from exposure to
    hazardous substances.

    OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120

    Includes requirements for employers to follow specific work policies,


    practices, and procedures to protect workers potentially exposed to
    hazardous substances during responses to emergencies involving
    releases of those substances.
    HAZWOPER TRAINING LEVELS

    There are 5 levels to HAZWOPER:


    1. First Responder Awareness Level
    2. First Responder Operations Level
    3. Hazardous Materials Technician
    4. Technician with Specialties
    5. On-Scene Incident Commander
    WHAT IS EMERGENCY RESPONSE?
    Emergency response or responding to emergencies means a response
    effort by employees from outside the immediate release area or by
    other designated responders (i.e., mutual-aid groups, local fire
    departments, etc.) to an occurrence which results, or is likely to result,
    in an uncontrolled release of a hazardous substance.
    Responses to incidental releases of hazardous substances where the
    substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the
    time of release by employees in the immediate release area, or by
    maintenance personnel are not considered to be emergency responses
    within the scope of this standard.
    Responses to releases of hazardous substances where there is no
    potential safety or health hazard (i.e., fire, explosion, or chemical
    exposure) are not considered to be emergency responses.
    WHAT IS EMERGENCY RESPONSE?
    For actual emergencies, first responders at the awareness level are
    individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous substance
    release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response
    sequence by notifying the proper authorities of the release.
    They would take no further action beyond notifying the authorities of
    the release.
    HAZWOPER
    AWARENESS LEVEL
    WHAT IS A HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE?
    Any substance that can
    impact or threaten human
    health or the environment
    when released or spilled
    based on its quantity,
    concentration, or location.
    UNDERSTANDING AND RECOGNIZING
    HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
    GHS
    Identifying hazardous substances
    is important for safety
    management in the workplace.
    It can help prevent accidents,
    comply with safety regulations,
    and promote a safety culture.

    with hazardous substances present
    • Ability to recognize the presence of hazardous substances in
    an emergency
    • Ability to identify the hazardous substances, if possible
    • Understand their role in the school’s emergency response
    plan, including site security and control

    DISCERNING IF ADDITIONAL
    RESOURCES ARE NEEDED

    Additional resources may be needed for hazardous materials incidents. This


    includes: 911, specialist resources, medical support, transportation.

    • Identify the materials involved


    • Determine the risk or hazard (physical, health, environment) posed by the
    spill or leak
    • Isolate the area
    • Provide/request first aid, as needed
    WHAT IS HAZARDOUS WASTE?
    • “Waste” means a solid, liquid, or contained gaseous material that is being
    discarded or recycled.
    • “Hazardous waste” if it has certain characteristics:
    o Ignitable (alcohol-based hand sanitizer, waste fuels)
    o Corrosive (acid drain cleaner, alkaline floor stripper)
    o Reactive (possibly some chemistry lab materials?)
    o Toxic (contains metals / chemicals that can leach out)
    • Some chemicals are specifically listed by U.S. EPA
    o Much less common for schools to generate these
    • Expired chemicals are a common type of hazardous waste generated by
    schools
    CONCLUSION
    Hazardous Materials / Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
    (HAZWOPER) Awareness goals are to:

    • Prevent and minimize the possibility of worker injury and illness resulting
    from potential exposures to hazardous substances
    • Provide first responder awareness level information to staff
    • Help staff provide effective communication to the workers,
    emergency responders, and the general public of the hazards of the materials
    present at the Site
