In this lecture we are going to first know about the learning objectives of this OSHA training:
Lesson objectives:
1.Identify types of hazardous materials and how exposures can occur.
2.Identify hazards associated with hazardous materials, including injuries that may occur.
3.Describe methods for eliminating physical hazards of hazardous materials.
4.Describe methods for eliminating health hazards of hazardous materials.
Then learn about the introduction to HAZMAT, the types of hazardous materials and the routes of entry into the body.
We will discuss specifically in detail the hazards (physical and health) caused by some of the hazardous materials:
Compressed gases
Cryogenic liquids
Flammable liquids
Spray finishing
LPG
Anhydrous Ammonia
In order to keep the presentation concised we are going to learn about these six types of hazardous materials and the hazards associated with them, these hazards include toxicity, fire, ill health, respiratory issues, irritation, explosions, frost bite, inflammation, etc.
So, the hazardous can be a location or a couple of locations, in this lecture, we will know about what are the classified locations and what OSHA has to say about them.
Though OSHA has a separate guideline related to confined spaces however in this lecture we are going to have a brief overview of this hazardous location.
Starting with the hierarchy of controls we are mainly focusing here on the controlling techniques physical hazards related to storage of flammable in this lecture we are going to take an example of flammable liquids and then apply various controls on them:
Compressed gases
Safety can
Cabinets for storage of flammables
Ventilation where flammables are stored
Explosion-proof apparatus
Grounding
In this lecture we are going to study in details about the hierarchy of controls, which are:
Elimination
Sibstitution
Engineering Controls
Administrative Controls
PPEs
Those who work in the industry and want to improve their working knowledge came across hazardous materials in their everyday work. These materials can include some chemicals, biohazards, pressurized cylinders and sometimes locations going and working into it can be graded as hazardous like (confines spaces). OSHA 10 Hours Outreach Training contains various sections and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) is one of them.
In this training in 01 hours of this video content, I have tried to summarize and elaborate the OSHA guidelines about Hazardous Materials. The complete standard is Hazardous Materials standard, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart H which is referred and information has been taken from that standard, however since the standard is large enough, here we have taken important points and notes from that.
If you want to improve your knowledge, take this course, there are also some downloadable resources which include a hazardous chemical register which you can download in this training, and an e-book which I have found very helpful during my own working in the industry.
You must do this course whether:
You are a fresh safety professional and want to increase your knowledge of Hazardous Materials
You are an experienced health and safety professional and want to learn OSHA Guidelines
You are a student and going to learn about Chemical Safety
You are an HSE Professional, Safety Officer, Safety Engineer, HAZMAT Store Incharge, this course will help you
If you have an interest in HSE and you are working in HSE/Safety as a professional then you definitely need to update yourself and OSHA guidelines are the best resources for your professional development in EHS. Hazmat studies are essential if you are working as HSE Engineers and Managers. Apart from Hazardous materials, this course will also focus on Hazardous Waste handling and Process Safety Management.
