Program Summary

EAGLE’S CLAWS Program is designed asa compliance evaluation system utilized to promote employee and public safety, propertyprotection and environmental conservation byspecifying approved products that meet specif-ic federal regulations concerning Containment,Liquid Handling, Waste Management, andSafety Storage of Hazardous Materials.

The Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA), established under theDepartment of Labor by the OSHA Act of 1970,regulates the storage and use of toxic and hazardous substances as they relate to workerhealth and safety. OSHA regulations are foundin Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations,Part 1910, Subpart H.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)addresses through the Resource Conservationand Recovery Act (RCRA), the need for facilitieswith hazardous waste substances to store con-tainers in some kind of containment system.

Portable container containment is addressedunder Subpart I, Use and Management ofContainers (EPA 40 CFR 264.175). Facilities deal-ing with the storage of hazardous materials mayalso be required to have containment if they areto meet the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) standards. Within the UFC standards, Section 80,Division III refers to Hazardous Materials StorageRequirements pertaining to containers and tanksand Division IV refers to Spill Control, DrainageControl and Secondary Containment with regardto hazardous materials.

Stationary containers, such as tanks, as well asportable storage containers, such as 55 gallondrums, are required to have a system that willprotect the environment from this waste if a leakwere to occur. Hazardous waste regulationsappear in Title 40 of the Code of FederalRegulations.

The U.S. Department of Transportation(DOT) serves as the focal point in the FederalGovernment for the coordinated NationalTransportation Policy. The DOT has authorityover the shipping and transporting of hazardousmaterials, including packaging and labeling. TheDOT regulations can be found in the Code ofFederal Regulations under Title 49 and arebased largely upon the recommendations as perthe United Nations (UN).

Since 1896, the National Fire ProtectionAssociation (NFPA) has been the most recognized non-profit organization in the worlddedicated to the protection of human life andproperty from the hazards of fire.

NFPA: (800) 344-3555www.nfpa.org

The OSHA Act requires employers to comply with OSHA standards and regulationsand to protect employees from recognized hazards in the workplace. OSHA enforces itsrules and regulations by inspecting the workplaces of employers. When violations arediscovered during inspections, OSHA issuescitations and proposes monetary penalties.OSHA encourages companies to participate inVoluntary Protection Programs. Employers whoparticipate in these Voluntary Compliance Programs develop a new relationship with OSHAand are not subject to programmed inspections;however, compliance remains mandatory.

Workplace fires and explosions kill 200 and injure more than 5,000 workers each year.

More than 75,000 workplace fires cost businesses more than $2 billion and wreak havoc amongworkers and their families and destroy thousands of businesses each year. CLAWS Assessmentsurveys should be conducted at least annually and should include observations of worksite safetyand housekeeping issues and should specifically address proper handling and storage of chemi-cals and wastes as specified in this guide.

Know your facility! Know where your risk areas are, what materials are not being handled or stored in a manner that will let you be compliant with the many federal regulations. The CLAWS guide is an easy to use guide to evaluating your facility.

Part I - IdentificationDivide the review facility into its functional or physical areas.• Production area• Machine Shop area• Maintenance Area• Laboratory Area• Paint Shop Area• Storage Area (Inside/Outside)• Shipping Area

Part II - DefinitionFor each specific physical or functional area, note the following:• Areas where chemicals are stored or used• Areas where water or oils are used in the process• Areas where dispensing and filling takes place• Areas where leaks or spills are prevalent• Areas that have self containment or fire suppression• The temperature, ignition, and ventilation controls• Potential ignition sources• Volume of human and equipment traffic

Objectives:This assessment guide should give you a general understanding on how to:

• Identify potential environmental, health and safety risks associated with hazardous materials handling and storage in the work environment.

• Conduct a thorough CLAWS compliance assessment and evaluation.

• Comply with specific OSHA, EPA, DOT and local fire codes concerning handling and storage of flammable materials.

• Specify approved products for compliance in these areas.

GlossaryApproved - approved, or listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.Bloodborne Pathogens - pathogenic micro-organismsthat are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans.Boiling Point - the boiling point of a liquid at a pres-sure of 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute (p.s.i.a.).Bonding - the interconnecting of two objects withclamps and wire to equalize the electrical potential tohelp prevent static sparks that could ignite flammablematerials.Closed Container - a container sealed by means of alid or other device that neither liquid nor vapor willescape from it at ordinary temperatures.Container - any can, barrel or drum.Contaminated - the presence or the reasonably anticipated presence of blood or other potentially infectious materials on an item or surface.Fire Area is defined by NFPA Code 30 as an area of abuilding separated from the remainder of the buildingby construction having a fire resistance of at least 1hour and having all communicating openings properlyprotected by an assembly having a fire resistance rating of at least 1 hour. The NFPA also provides a special provision for the grouping of flammable cabinets in an industrial facility due to the lack of wallsor barriers. In an industrial occupancy, additional cabinets may be located in the same fire area if theadditional cabinets, or the group of not more than three(3) cabinets, is separated from the other cabinets orgroup of cabinets by at least 100 feet (30m).Flammable Aerosol - an aerosol which is required tobe labeled “Flammable” under the Federal HazardousSubstances Labeling Act. Such aerosols are considered Class IA liquids.Flame Arrester - a mesh or perforated metal insertwithin a flammable storage container (safety can, cabinet) which protects its contents from externalflames or ignition by absorbing and dissipating heatentering the can, therefore keeping the vapor pressurebelow its ignition point. Flashpoint - the lowest temperature at which a flammable vapor-air mixture above the liquid willignite when an ignition source is present.FM - Factory Mutual -a national testing laboratory andapproval service recognized by OSHA.Grounding - the conducting connection between acontainer and “ground,” usually with a wire, to preventgeneration of static electric sparks.Liquid - any material which has a fluidity greater thanthat of 300 penetration asphalt when tested in accordance with ASTM Test for Penetration forBituminous Materials.Regulated Waste - liquid or semi-liquid blood or otherpotentially infectious materials; contaminated items thatwould release blood or other potentially infectiousmaterials in a liquid or semi-liquid state if compressed; items that are caked with dried blood or other potentially infectious materials and are capable ofreleasing these materials during handling; contaminated sharps; and pathological and microbio-logical wastes containing blood or other potentiallyinfectious materials.
