• The best rule of chemical safety is
• Know what you are working with and how to
  protect yourself and others.

35
HazCom

• There are 2 basic types of chemical hazards
• Physical Hazards
• Health Hazards

36
HazCom

• Physical Hazards - The physical properties of the
  chemical render it hazardous
• Explosive
• Compressed gas
• Combustible
• Flammable
• Unstable
• Water reactive
• Oxidizers

37
HazCom

• Exposure to hazardous chemicals may cause or
  contribute to a wide range of health concerns
  including
• Heart problems
• Kidney disease
• Lung disease
• Cancer
• Sterility
• Burns
• Rashes

38
HazCom

• Chemicals can enter your body in many different
  ways. The primary routes of entry are
• Inhalation
• Ingestion
• Absorption
• Injection

39
HazCom

• Exposure to hazardous chemicals may be either
• Acute brief exposure
• Chronic repeated or prolonged

40
HazCom

• The written HazCom program must, at a minimum,
  include
• A list of all hazardous chemicals known to be in
  the workplace
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and label for
  each hazardous chemical
• A training plan to communicate hazard information
  to employees

41
HazCom

• Warning labels can grab your attention with words

Ergonomics

• Ergonomics is the applied science of coordinating
  devices, environments, tasks, or procedures to
  fit the individual worker.

55
Ergonomics

• Injury can be caused by
• Awkward
• Posture
• Bending
• Twisting
• Working with your hands above your head or your
  elbows above your shoulders.

56
Ergonomics

• Injury can be caused by
• Repetitive Movements
• Some jobs may require you to perform the same
  movements over and over again.
• Repetitive movements can irritate your tendons
  and increase pressure on your nerves.

57
Ergonomics

• Injury can be caused by
• Force (amount of muscular effort used to perform
  work)

Exerting large amounts of force can result in
fatigue and physical damage to your body.
58
Ergonomics

• Injury can be caused by
• Contact Stress
• Internally occurs when a tendon, nerve or blood
  vessel is stretched or bent around a bone or
  tendon.
• Externally occurs when a part of your body rubs
  against a sharp or hard object such as the edge
  of a desk or table.

59
Ergonomics

• Injury can be caused by
• Vibration
• Excessive vibration can decrease blood flow,
  damage nerves, and contribute to muscle fatigue.

60
Ergonomics Personal Risk Factors

• Physical condition
• Psychological stressors
• Gender
• Age
• Body size
• Medical condition

61
Ergonomics - Safe Lifting

• The most common work-related medical problem is
  lower back pain.
• This is often a result of poor lifting
  techniques.
• Think before you lift!
• Test the load and ask yourself Can I lift it
  safely? If not, get help!
• Make sure there is nothing in your path that
  could cause you to fall.

62
Ergonomics - Safe Lifting

• Squat to bend at the knees
• Keep your head up
• Get a good grip with both hands and hold it close
  to the body.
• Lift smoothly using your legs not your back.
• Turn with your feet, dont twist your back.

63
Ergonomics

• What can you do?
• Adjust your tasks or environment to fit you
• Reduce risk factors
• Avoid unnecessary movements
• Always practice safe lifting
• Use the tools that are right for you
• Perform light stretching and other exercises
  before and during work
