Employee Handbook: General Awareness &! Familiarization Training

1. Introduction

Part 172 Subpart H of the Hazardous Materials Regulations sets training requirements for individuals involved in all modes of transportation (over-the- road, rail, aircraft or vessel) of hazardous materials. The purpose is to ensure that hazmat employers train their hazmat employees regarding safe practices in the following areas:

loading and unloading handling storing transporting emergency preparedness to accidents involving hazardous materials.

Two key definitions of the Hazardous Materials Regulations are:

Hazmat Employer

- . , ., , - ' A company/person who utilizes one or more employees to transport or y) . ,. cause to transport, hazardous materials in commerce, or

One who represents, marks, certifies, sells, offers, reconditions, tests, repairs, or modifies containers, drums, or for use in trans- porting hazardous materials.

This includes: a. owners and operators of vehicles that transport hazardous mate-

rials b. any department or agency of the United States c. :a state or political subdivision of a State d.': an Indian trgbe that deals with hazardous material as a form

'"of business.:

Humat Employee

One who directly affects the safe transportation of hazardous materials, either as a self-employed person or one who per- forms duties relating to hazardous materials as part of the job. This includes the owner/operator of a motor vehicle that transports hazardous materials in commerce.

Page 3: -r Promam HazMat Emp - West Coast Collaborative...the shipping paper. The description must adhere to these requirements: ' 1. If a hazardous material and a non-hazardous material are

Based on these definitions, workers who must be trained include those who: " 1 - load or unload hazardous materials

test, recondition, repair, modify, or mark containers, drums or packag- ing used in transporting hazardous materials

c prepare hazardous materials for transporting are responsible for the safe transporting of hazardous materials [supervisors, for example), or operate a vehicle transporting hazardous materials.

General Awareness/FdUarimtion Training will:

increase your awareness of the purpose of the Hazardous Materials Regulations and of the hazard communication requirements

., ensure that everyone involved in the transportation of hazardous materials uses uniforfn procedures.

b)

a.. List ways in which a hazmat'incident could occur at your facility:

.- b. Could a hazmat incident occur in your work area? If so, where?

Notes:

2. The H a z ~ o u s Materials Table

The Hazardous Materials Table lists materials that the Research and Special Programs Administration has determined: may pose an unreasonable risk to health and safety or property when transported in commerce.

4. Labeling of a Hazardous Material

Hazardous Material Warning Labels are designed and color-coded so that the hazards can be quickly recognized. Warning labels correspond to the placards that must appear on each bulk packaging, freight container, unit load device, transport vehicle or rail car that contains a hazardous material. The labels must include both the hazard class and the division of hazard, if required, according to the Hazardous Materials Table. Unless excepted, all hazardous material packages must be labeled.

Page 9: -r Promam HazMat Emp - West Coast Collaborative...the shipping paper. The description must adhere to these requirements: ' 1. If a hazardous material and a non-hazardous material are

Warning label codes can be found in column 6 of the Hazardous Materials Table. Use the Label Substitution Table to identi@ the label name for the code(s)

' listed in Column 6. . . %.

The first code listed is the primary hazard of me material

Additional codes indicate subsidiary hazard(s).

5. Performance Oriented Packaging

.T! The proper' packaging of hazardous materials is crucial to the safety of everyone ' i involved in their handling and transport.

A 'performance oriented package' must perform in a.safe manner under normal transportation conditions.

The requirements refer to:

bulk and non-bulk packagings new and reused packagings specification and non-specification packaging.

Each hazmat package must be designed and manufactured so that when it is filled to its limits, closed, and under normal transportation conditions:

there will be no identifiable releage of hazardous materials - there will be no reduction in package effectiveness (i.e. impact resistance, strength) due to variations in temperature there will be no mixture of gases/vapors in the package that could reduce package effectiveness.

Packagings cannot be used for hazardous material transportation unless they: , ~

a. Meet the above requirements . .. 2' .

b. Are properly marked with ID numbers and special requirements

c. Are tested and approved prior to use

d. Have a manufact~~rer's mark on each package.

The following is an example of the amount of information that can be obtained from the manufacturer's marking on the package.

"1Al" means a non-removable head steel drum means it meets Packing Groups I1 and 111 tests

"1.4" is the specific gravity of the material for which the packaging was tested "150" is the test pressure in kPa rounded to the nearest 10 "83" is the year of manufacture "USA" indicates the country of manufacture

,I "VLS24" is the code of the manufacturer

"lrnm" indicates the minimum thickness of material for metal or plastic drums or jerricans intended for reuse or reconditioning as single containers -3 "USA" indicates the country where reconditioning was performed "FU3" is the symbol of tlie reconditio er r . . "10-85" is the month and year of recondihonmg , "R" indicates the drum was reconditioned, an "L" indicates the package success- fully passed the leahproofness test.

Specific instructions for all types of packagings and all modes of transportation can be found in the Hazardous Material Regulations, Part 173: Shippers General Requirements for Shipments and Packagings.

6. Proper Loading and Storage Techniques

The responsibility for complying with the provisions for loading, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials generally lies with the carrier.

. . Specific information on loading and storing hazardous material containers for all modes of transportation is located in the Hazardous 'Materials ~egulati6ns. Part 177, Carriage by Public Highway, Subpart B: Loading and Unloading, spec- ifies loading and storing requirements for motor vehicles.

There are two requirements of Part 177 that are of special importance: Separation distances are established for transporting radioactive materials and are also required for people and cargo compartment

p - 7. Proper Placarding

Hazmat placards are similar to the shape, color and design of hazmat warning labels. They serve the following functions:

to alert the public to the potential dangers of hazardous materials to gude emergency personnel in their actions during a hazmat incident.

Unless excepted, each bulk packaging, fi-eight container, unit load device, trans- - port vehicle or rail car contauung any quantity of a hazardous material must be 1

\. placarded on each side and each end with the placards specified in Part 172, Subpart F. c

8. Dealing with a Hazmat Emergency , -,

Knowing how to respond to an hazmat emergency is crucial. At a minimum this section refers to having emergency response information available at all times

C during the handling and transportation of a hazardous material. This training is not intended for those hazmat employees whose p r i ~ J u n c t i o n is emergency response. I t is simply meant to provide basic safety training to those with lim- ited emergency responsibilities.

This information must include:

the basic description and technical name of the hazardous material immediate hazards to health risks of fire and exposure immediate precautions to be taken in the event of an incident/acci- dent

D initial methods for handling spills or leaks in the absence of fire preliminary first aid measures an emergency response phone number.

These items must be printed in English and available away &om the package con- taining the hazardous materials, for e~ample on the shipping paper, the North

- American Emergency Response Guide book, or Material Safety Data Sheets. i #

% Note: This section refers to information location and availability and does not mean that all hazmat employees must h o w how to perform all of the activities listed.
