Monitoring hazard exposure

The HASP focuses on the specific tasks down to the worksite level and identifies job- and task-based hazards, exposure-monitoring requirements, hazard controls and approaches, requirements necessary to protect workers, and, sometimes, the name of the person responsible for a certain activity. 

SCBA use in emergency response 29 CER 1910.120 (qX3)(iv) requires that a positive-pressure SCBA be used while engaged in emergency response, until such time that the individual in charge of the ICS determines through the use of air monitoring that a decreased level of respiratory protection will not result in hazardous exposure to employees. If the incident commander believes that hazards are not adequately characterized, he or she must order the use of positive-pressure SCBAs.

The chemical profession and the federal government have attempted to minimize worker exposure to compounds or reactions that result in an acute or chronic biological response. The American Chemical Society has sponsored several symposia during the past few years in which chemists have discussed potentially hazardous compounds. However, to assess the extent of hazardous exposure in the workplace, new demands have been made on analytical chemistry. The analytical chemist has responded by producing and developing new methodologies and instrumentation that permit the detection and monitoring of extremely low level concentrations of hazardous substances. 

The personnel working in the corrosion laboratory are usually exposed to a variety of chemicals and gases. The monitoring of airborne contaminants is to ensure that potential employee exposures are controlled. It is also useful to monitor chemical exposure of personnel and to compare the levels with chemical exposure guidelines of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) OSHA (29 CFR 910.1450, 29 CFR 1910.1048, 11910.1001-1101, Z9 CFR 1910, subpart Z and National Health Canada). It is also useful to perform a walkthrough check for hazardous chemicals and exposure of personnel to the chemicals, as shown in Figure 3.2.

Computerized Infrared spectroscopy offers a relatively simple means of determining blend composition and level of treatment for cellulose. It Is much more rapid than wet chemical procedures and avoids the hazards and expense of working with concentrated acids and other potentially harmful chemicals. The CDIS Instrument and many models of FTIR are considerably less expensive than x-ray fluorescence and do not require monitoring for exposure to radiation. Infrared Instruments are more common In colleges and universities as well as In Industry so more people trained In their use are available. 

In general practice, gas detection instruments working with electrochemical sensors are very commonly employed. These rather compact devices can be worn on the body, and therefore they are very suitable for monitoring personal exposure. The user is alerted in the case of hazardous concentrations in the working environment by an audible and visible alarm device. Usually, the instruments include a data logger, which enables the recorded data to be evaluated at a PC at a later point of time. The necessary software is normally supphed with the device. 

SNL personnel have the opportunity to receive medical consultation if they develop signs and symptoms associated with a possible exposure to a hazardous chemical when an event (spill, leak, explosion, or other occurrence) in the work area results in the likelihood of a hazardous exposure and when exposure monitoring reveals exposure levels that routinely exceed the action level (or the OSHA PEL or ACGIH...

The implementation of the actions defined in step 6 needs to be monitored and followed by a new cycle of risk review whereby a number of products may have moved in the hazard/ exposure matrix from the black area into the gray or white area. This repetitive process will m e information that is more pertinent available, focusing attention on specific areas and therefore helping to reduce further the risk related to the transport of chemicals. It is expected that this process will result in a decrease in the number of logistics accidents, which could be used as one objective yardstick to measure the improvements achieved.
