Hazards warnings responses

And that trend is certain to continue. First of all, the philosophy of this area of the common law is specifically designed to accommodate society s expanding view of corporate responsibility. In addition, the manufacturer s hazard warning responsibilities will be determined after-the-fact, perhaps by a judge or jury hostile to business in general, but most certainly one having full knowledge of the iiyuries sustained by the plaintiff.

The regulations require that furniture shall be labelled to indicate its conforming with various parts of the Act. Fire hazard warning labels are required as well as labels which identify the furniture, the person responsible for it in UK law (which may be the manufacturer or importer) as well as information relating to the composition of the furniture. The latter information may be on the label or may be retained by the company but must be available to Trading Standards Officers for a period of 5 years. 

Today, almost everyone works or lives with chemicals and chemical prodncts. Over the centuries man has lived in a chemical age, but especially so during the past several decades. Many of the chemical substances can have deleterious effects on animals, humans, and the environment. These substances are capable of causing physical hazards (e.g., lire or explosion) or health hazards (such as systemic toxicity and chemical bums). Improper use of chemical substances causes a wide range of health hazards. It is the responsibility of the user to evaluate each chemical substance and know its potential to cause adverse health effects and pose physical hazards, such as flammability in the workplace. The manufacturers, importers, and distributors of different chemical substances must be sure that containers of hazardous chemicals leaving the workplace are properly labeled with the identity of the chemical and appropriate hazard warnings. In the workplace, each container must be marked with the identity of hazardous chemicals contained in it and must show hazard warnings appropriate for employee protection. 

Access to the laboratory is restricted to authorized persons. Hazard warning signs on access doors identify the names of personnel authorized to enter and the name(s) and telephone number(s) of person(s) responsible for the laboratory.

Shipper Responsibilities — Each person who offers a hazardous material for transport in any of the following containment devices must ensure the required hazard warning labels are properly displayed ... 

The chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor is responsible for labeling, tagging, or marking each container of hazardous chemicals for which they determine to have potential hazards. When chemicals are shipped by tank truck or rail car, the label can be provided along with the shipping papers and MSDS. Department of Transportation (DOT) placards serve as hazard warnings while the chemical(s) is in transport. 

Labels list at least the chemical identity, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the manufacturer, importer or other responsible party. The chemical identity is found on the label, the SDS, and the chemical inventory. Therefore, the chemical identity links these three sources of information. The chemical identity used by the supplier may be a common or trade name, or a chemical name. The hazard warning is a brief statement of the hazardous effects of the chemical (i.e., flammable, or causes lung damage ). 

Another form of communication is the use of hazard warning placards. The posting of placards or signs within a laboratory alerts the employees to safety and health concerns as well as rapid response in the event of accidents. 

Ensure that all containers of hazardous substances in the workplace are labeled, tagged, or marked and include the identity of the hazardous chemical, and the appropriate hazard warnings. Container labels for purchased chemicals must also include the name and address of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party. 

In-plant containers of hazardous chemicals must be labeled, tagged, or marked with the identity of the material and appropriate hazard warnings. Chemical manufacturers, importers, aud distributors are required to ensure that every container of hazardons chanicals they ship is appropriately labeled with such information and with the name and address of the producer or other responsible party. Employers purchasing chemicals can rely on the labels provided by their suppliers. If the material is subsequently transferred by the employer from a labeled container to another container, the employer will have to label that container nnless it is snbject to the portable container exemption. See paragraph (f) for specific labeling reqnirements. 

B. Each employee or supervisor shall be responsible for ensuring that all portable containers used in his or her work area are labeled with the appropriate material identity and hazard warnings. 

Warning—Sampling hydrocarbon fluids can be hazardous. Persons responsible for obtaining samples should be familiar with and adhere to safe practices for handling flammable fluid under pressure. 

All other small containers or bottles stored in the CEL work area or countertop must be clearly labeled with the applicable information and appropriate hazard warning. If a reagent contains several hazardous materials, the name of the reagent must be clearly labeled on the container. The CEL Safety Officer, Technician, or Section Leadet will be responsible for ensuring that this procedure is followed. 

In many locations around the world dams are essential for agriculture and urban water supply. While the benefits of these structures are obvious, the risk of damage or loss of life due to unexpected failure of the dam can be overlooked by the general populace. A systematic assessment of the hazards posed by possible dam failures is useful for disaster planning, emergency response, and flood warnings. 

The protocols and software developed in this study will give the Pacific Disaster Center tools that will enable it-and other agencies such as the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources and the U.S. National Weather Service-to conduct dam breach hazard assessments more easily. Results of these assessments are expected to be of value for disaster planning, emergency response, and flood warning. 

Warning Device Summary Use warning devices such as radiation alarms, fire alarms, intercom systems, and emergency lighting to warn of potential hazards and identify appropriate emergency response procedures.
