Label personal protective equipment

Protective clothing and personal protective equipment - protective clothing, such as chemical-resistant gloves and coveralls, are often required during pesticide handling and application. Label requirements may also call for respiratory protection. Use of such personal protective equipment can dramatically reduce skin contact and inhalation exposures.

Table 5.2 shows how signal words can be used to select the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for different toxicity categories. In aU cases follow label instructions. 

Read the label. The formulation, signal word, precautionary statements, personal protective equipment statements, the application method, and projected length of exposure indicate the personal protective equipment you need.

In order to assist those who are labelling pipes. NPCA has developed a 1-1/2" by 1-1/2" tag that can be affixed to piping. This tag can be produced in either a single use cardboard format or a reusable plastic format. Due to its small size, abbreviations are used to describe the various hazards and personal protective equipment. 

The labels as received from the printer (or printed by an Individual manufacturer) should contain the written designation (health, flammability, reactivity, or personal protective equipment), but the actual ratings and designation for personal protective equipment will not be on the label. It is the responsibility of the paint manufacturer to complete the individual information on each raw material. 

A chemical spill is probably the most common accident in the laboratory, and in most cases can be cleaned up by laboratory personnel with minimal effort or risk. According to the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, laboratory personnel are required to be trained in the risks associated with the chemicals with which they are working and should know when it is safe to clean up a minor spill. Workers should be especially sure to be familiar with the risks and the corrective actions to be taken in an emergency for chemicals labeled on the container DANGER or WARNING. If personal protective equipment is needed, personnel required to wear it must receive appropriate training in how to use and maintain the equipment. 

Appropriate action to prevent injuries from peroxides in ethers depends on knowledge about formation, detection, and removal of peroxides, adequate labeling and inventory procedures, personal protective equipment, suitable disposal methods, and knowledge about formation, detection, and removal of peroxides. 

The large "economy size" often dictates a need for other equipment, such as smaller transfer containers, funnels, pumps, and labels. Added labor to subdivide the larger quantities into smaller containers, as well as additional personal protective equipment for the hazards involved, also may be needed.

Eor a garment to be labeled American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Class 1, 2, 3, or E it is required to first be ANSI/ISEA 107 certified. This certification requires many tests by an accredited laboratory to make sure that the garment lives up to the requirements of the standard. Some tests/requirements include ... 

If you have any known carcinogens at your jobsites, ensure that you point them out. Pass around one or more SDSs for the carcinogens at your site, show employees a carcinogen label(s), and have examples of warning signs, if used. Show them what personal protective equipment you expect employees to wear in regulated areas, and be ready to explain how to use and maintain this equipment. 

Use. Allows comparison with label to ensure that this is the correct MSDS for the product contact information may be needed to get additional information for an emergency, accident, or for recommendations for specific personal protective equipment (PPE). 

Work involving potential arc flashes requires special planning and protection. Work may involve standardized procedures including use of two-person teams. Restrict equipment access to authorized individuals at the room level and the individual equipment level. There should be warning labels on equipment with a potential for an arc flash. There should be lock out and tag out procedures to assure deenergized equipment. Authorized personnel should be trained on the equipment, hazards, controls, tools, personal protective equipment, work planning, and procedures. 

For spills of solid unknown substances, a judgment has to be made about the probable hazard of the spill. It is always wise to assume the worst-case scenario and wear complete personal protective equipment with breathing apparatus. If it is known that the solid is not dangerously reactive, then it can be scooped into a container, packaged, and labeled as accurately as possible for disposal. If there is a possibility that the spill is of a metal hydride or other solid that may spontaneously catch fire, it should be covered with spill mix, scooped into a plastic pail using a plastic scoop, and transported to the fume hood. Slowly and cautiously, butanol is added with stirring to the mixture. The weight of hydride spilled is estimated and about 40 mL of butanol is allowed for each 1 g of mixture... 

EU, where materials with more than 100 mg Co/kg must be labelled as hazardous and should be handled only with appropriate personal protection equipment. The European Food Safety Authority has recommended that the supplementation of diets for farm animals with cobalt be limited to ruminants (except milk replacers), horses and rabbits at a level of 0.3 mg/kg DM of supplemental cobalt, and the maximum amount permitted in the complete diet in the EU is 2 mg/kg DM. 

Waste, scrap, debris, bags, and containers, personal protective equipment and clothing contaminated with cadmium and consigned for disposal shall be collected and disposed of in sealed impermeable bags or other closed, impermeable containers. These bags and containers shall be labeled in accordance with... 

A standard must provide for labels or other forms of warning about hazards, symptoms, emergency treatment and proper conditions and precautions for safe use and exposure. Personal protective equipment or control or technological procedttres shottld be provided in the standard, as well as type and frequency of medical examinations or other tests of employees at the employer s expense. If the tests are for research, the Secretary of HHS may pay for them.
