Right to Know and Hazard Communication Policy

The following is an overview of the hazard communications and your right to know about information pertaining to any hazardous chemicals used or stored at any work site to which you may be assigned while working for Foothills Staffing. It is not the intent of this document to provide training on the use, disposal, or storage of any specific chemical or hazardous substance. Instead the purpose of the Foothills Staffing HAZCOM policy is to make you aware that virtually any work site may contain hazardous materials and that the North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that the business utilizing or storing these substances provide proper labeling of this substances as well as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) outlining the materials' hazards and emergency and first aid procedures in the event of exposure. In other words you have the right to be aware of any dangerous or harmful substances in your work environment and the location of information about these substances.

When you initially report to any job assignment, it is important that you become familiar with the MSDS locations at that work site. It is also important that you are aware of the location of the nearest safety shower and eyewash in the event of an accidental exposure. If you are not provided with this information at your job location, please ask your supervisor where the MSDS sheets are located/maintained and the location of the safety showers and eyewashes.

Previous training at another facility does not constitute being trained at the facility where you are presently or will soon be working. This training does not constitute you being trained in hazardous communication. This training is for the sole purpose of providing awareness to Foothills Staffing employees who would be required to work with or around hazardous chemicals.

The goal of The Hazard Communication Standard is to reduce injuries and illnesses that result from the improper use, storage, etc. of chemicals in the workplace.

The first step in the understanding the standard is to know which chemicals it applies to. The OSHA definition of a hazardous chemical is so broad that practically every chemical substance or mixture is included. "Hazardous" chemical means any chemical that is a physical hazard or a health hazard.

Physical Hazards Include: 

Health  Hazards Include:

Workplace Hazardous Chemicals Include:

Material Safety Data Sheet:

Material Safety Data Sheets must be provided by chemical manufactures and importers to all distributors and employers with the initial shipment of each hazardous chemical. The employer must make MSDS sheets for chemicals in a work area readily accessible to all employees in that are and during each work shift. Each MSDS sheet must be in ENGLISH.

Labels:

The Material Safety Data Sheet is complicated. A few important points that each employee should know is:  Physical and chemical characteristics (boiling point, for example):

• Health Hazards (signs and symptoms of short or long term exposure) whether the chemical will or might cause cancer
• Emergency and first aid procedures

Think of the label as an all-important, first visible clue to the relative dangers, safety and health risks of the chemical labels must be legible, in English, and prominently displayed on each and every container that contains this material.

Three elements are required on labels on all containers that will leave the workplace: 

• Identity of the hazardous chemical(s)
• Appropriate hazard warnings, physical and health
• Name and address of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party

Employers are responsible for ensuring that labels are never defaced or removed. DO NOT REMOVE OR DEFACE ANY LABELS

Type of Exposure:

Inhalation- Many chemicals produce a dust, vapor or a mist that can easily be inhaled. Some particles are so small that they cannot be seen and pose a danger before you can smell them.

Ingestion- Many chemicals are harmful even when only a small amount is swallowed. Serious injury can occur through careless personal habits such as smoking and drinking while working and now washing hands before eating and drinking.

Absorption- Many workplace chemicals enter the body through cuts, scratches and unbroken skin.

Personal Protective Equipment: The use of Personal Protective Equipment is encouraged and in many cases required while handling hazardous chemicals. Material Safety Data Sheets list the Personal Protective Equipment that is suggested and/or required while handling and using chemicals.

HEALTH AND SAFETY RULES

We are committed to providing a safe, accident-free, and healthy work environment for everyone. However, excellent safe and healthy conditions do not occur by chance. They are results of diligent work and careful attention to all company policies by everyone.

Safety demands cooperation on everyone's part. Thus, it is important that communication be kept open at all times between the management and employees. Workers who notice hazards or other safety problems, or feel that they need additional training, must notify their supervisor. Supervisors and management at all levels must address these concerns and take corrective action when warranted.

In order for a health and safety program to be effective, it is vital that it be understood and implemented at all levels from management to all employees. Everyone is obligated to know the safety standards for their area or job, and just as important, to abide by them. It is the duty of all employees to perform their work with maximum regard for the safety of themselves and co-workers. Workers who notice hazards or other safety problems, or feel that they need additional training, must notify their supervisor.

Our safety policies are based on past experience and current standards, and are also an integral part of the company's personnel policies. This means that compliance with the policies is a condition of employment and must be taken seriously. Failure to comply is sufficient grounds for disciplinary action or for termination of employment. I accept responsibility for reading and abiding by its contents. I also accept responsibility for contacting Foothills Staffing if I have any questions, concerns, or need further explanation.
