SAFETY AT PURDUE HORTICULTURE AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MARCH 28 2017 Linda Swihart, swihart@purdue.edu, 43244 Links within this presentation will last at least a month but are not guaranteed longer. Save or somehow independently note all that you wish to keep.
REM (www.purdue.edu/rem) (Radiological & Environmental Management) Compliance focus (Consulting/Advising) OSHA/IOSHA EPA/IDEM DOT/INDOT NRC ISDH DHS US/IN Bldg & Fire codes DEA USDA NIH, CDC, ANSI, ASHRAE, ACGIH..... (REM is not an enforcement office.)
RESEARCHERS GUIDE *required for ALL from ALL? Seriously? www.purdue.edu/rem
ALL? (what if I only have an office?) Yes. All is GENERALLY all employees, but better to include: Everybody who gets a paycheck from Purdue or fellowship program, AND Any person who has a key to any Purdue space, AND Visiting status & UG researchers. The new-ish hierarchy tool helps with all employees. https://www.purdue.edu/hr/HR_Operations/BPM/employee_hierarchy.html.
Those three ALL requirements: 1) PPE Hazard Assesment (some will be trivial.) 2) Emergency Preparedness and BEP. 3) Chemical Safety HazCom or Lab Standard? ?
Chemical Safety requirement is for ALL, including chemical safety awareness for those who do not handle or work near chemicals.
Exercise 01 Does your work area require a CHP or a HazCom program?
Most/many departments have BOTH types of work areas/workers. Neither program is easier. Both require training, recordkeeping, and considerable due diligence. Written SOPs. SDS & inventory. One difference
GHS the new chemical safety normal Globally Harmonized System (of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) new hazard classes (30-ish) new numbering system acute toxicity flam liquids carcinogenicity repro toxicity skin corrosion eye damage sensitization ..... flam liq category 1 flam liq category 2 flam liq category 3 flam liq category 4 new pictograms ONE IS THE WORST! new other label elements
Exercise 02 GHS/SDS practice, relevant to both CHP & HazCom training.
- back to the topic of PPE - SPLASH ZONE From UCSD. Short video.
WHAT ARE THE PPE NEEDS IN YOUR AREA? Hazard Assessment process answers that Q. is this a PPE question ? NO Supervisor is responsible for this. (And Dept...) H.A. process for offices was pretty light work. eye protection from chemical splash? hand protection from chemicals? hand protection from cuts? protections from LN2? in CO2 chamber? overall body/foot protection?
PPE TRAINING Example (and useful) generic PPE training cert form. Ex 03
Three requirements that apply to all, recap. OSHA and DHS related. CHP or Haz Com program PPE, PPE Hazard Assessment Emergency preparedness and BEP The are many other requirements that apply to some: chem waste, biosafety, biowaste, BBP, radioisotopes, x-rays, lasers, centrifuges, autoclaves, drug licensing, food service safety....
THANK YOU. Stay and talk? How long do we have this room? http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~swihart/web/Links.htm will last a month or more. Save what you want.
