4 Hand Safety The Rules OSHA Standard 29 C.F.R (a) General requirements. Employers shall select and require employees to use appropriate hand protection when employees hands are exposed to hazards such as those from skin absorption of harmful substances; severe cuts or lacerations; severe abrasions; punctures; chemical burns; thermal burns; and harmful temperature extremes. There is always the General Duty Clause 5(a)(1) The Employer is responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace. 4 4

5 Hand Safety - Injuries There are over 1 million Hand Injuries each year 20% of disabling workplace injuries involve the hands. Injury Types 65% - Lacerations / cuts 13% - Crushing 8% - Forceful detachments 6% - Punctures 5% - Fractures Almost all these injuries could be avoided by not coming in contact with the hazard, or wearing the appropriate PPE. 5 5

6 What s in your hands? Bones - 27 Muscles - 34 Arteries - 30 named Ligaments named Nerves - 48 named Damage to anyone of these can have long term, or permanent affects. Let s play a game. Try to tie your shoe, or button your shirt with one hand. Can you do it? 6 6

7 Hand Safety In the Office? You use your hands so often you do not even realize it. Typing, handling office paper, package handling, grasping the handrail of the stairs, opening doors, eating and drinking, and so many other ways. Common injury causes are; Repetitive actions of the hands and wrists Exposure to moving or energized equipment Exposure to sharps (knifes, unfinished metal edges, needles, glass, etc.) Exposure or spread of Illnesses through hand contact Almost all these injuries can be avoided by not coming in contact with the hazard, or wearing the appropriate PPE. Utilize the Hierarchy of Controls to prevent hand injures. 7 7

8 When Using Fixed Blades Lacerations, being the leading cause of hand injures, occur when you least expect it. Below is a list of causes Eaton commonly sees in the workplace; Cutting towards yourself Not wearing the proper PPE (Cut Resistant Gloves) while using these knives Improper disposal of blades Proper storage of devices when finished Use of a dull blade, making the cut difficult to complete Utilizing a Fixed Blade Knife or a home made device that is not auto retractable Improper use of a knife for uses other than cutting material. Utilizing the Right tool for the job is key. Let s see some examples 8 8

9 Laceration Hazard & Controls Hazard Reduced Hazard Wrong tool Fixed Blade Direction of Travel Never place body in line of fire. Ceramic blades Self retracting blades Travel direction & Cut resistant glove Wrong tool All Box Cutters Must Have Retracting 9 Blades 9

10 Cutting tools Best Practices: Conditions - Keep your blades sharp. This will allow you to have to apply less force while cutting. This also means less of a chance for the blade to slip from the working surface. Cutting Direction - Always cut away from you, keeping the edge of the blade facing away from your body and hands. Storage - Always store and transport your cutting tool with a cap on or in a container that will not leave the blade exposed. Handles - Always keep the blades in the proper handles or holders. Never try to use the blade alone without its handle, as holding the blade by itself is very dangerous. Also keep that handles in good condition so that your hand may not slip. Gloves - Wear gloves cut resistant gloves when using a cutting tool. A glove could prevent a slipping blade from cutting your hands. Disposal - Always dispose of your old blades in a specific container for sharps or in the scrap bin. Mixing blades and trash can lead to accidents during trash removal

11 Sharps Containers Sharps Bins are to be used for proper disposal of all used utility knife blades. They can be located Labs Mail room Hypodermic needles shall be disposed of in the bathroom biohazards sharps bins

12 Hand Safety Whose are they? Whose hands are they? YOURS! You are responsible for not engaging in unsafe actions at work. Follow procedures. If you are unsure, STOP! Stand Back and Get Help! You must report any hazard that has not been safeguarded

14 PPE Background This summary outlines the minimum requirements for selection and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all Eaton locations that use PPE on a mandatory and voluntary basis. The requirements are applicable to all employees, contractors, and visitors at the Moon Twp. facility. Moon Twp. has evaluated PPE requirements in the applicable region, country, state and/or municipality and established systems to comply with such requirements when those requirements are more stringent than those outlined in this document

15 PPE Risk Assessment A hazard / risk assessment must be completed for all facility activities to determine the health and safety hazards employees are exposed to. This risk assessment must include, at a minimum, the evaluation of employee exposure to the following risks: Mechanical hazards causing risk of contact to sharp objects, falling objects, or rolling or pinching objects. Chemical hazards leading to contact with chemical materials through inhalation exposure, dermal exposure, or ingestion. Biological hazards including exposure to viral agents, molds, and bacteria Thermal hazards associated with extreme heat or cold Ionizing or non-ionizing radiation hazards including radioactive source material, X- rays, lasers, and UV light. Noise causing risk of hearing loss due to levels above the approved TWAs Electrical hazards including arc flash, shock & exposure to energized sources Foreign bodies that may pose risk to eyes and face Other relevant physical and chemical hazards 15 15

16 PPE Controls Determination Using the results of the risk assessment, sites must consider the hierarchy of controls for reducing or eliminating identified hazards in the following sequence: Engineering controls to eliminate or minimize the hazard. Administrative controls should be implemented where engineering controls are deemed infeasible or do not adequately reduce the risk. PPE must be used where engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or cannot adequately reduce the risk. The objective is to eliminate the risk, NOT rely on PPE! 16 16

17 PPE Selection Where it is determined that PPE is appropriate to control the identified hazard, PPE selection must be based on the following: The relevant health and safety hazard(s) that the employee is exposed to; The PPE that most effectively minimizes the risk to employees; The relevant body parts that are exposed to the risk; and Comfort and fit to the employee. Mandatory use PPE must and will be provided by the employer at no cost to employees. NOTE: Where employees elect to upgrade PPE based solely on appearance or fit, payment of the additional charges are at the discretion of the employees direct supervisor and may be the responsibility of the employee. See you supervisor for details

18 PPE Training Initial PPE training must be provided upon first assignment or job transfer and must include: Limits of protection offered by PPE. When and where PPE must be worn. Putting on, removing, and adjusting PPE. Maintenance, care, and replacement of PPE Retraining is required when PPE requirements change or when those requirements are misunderstood or not known by the employee

19 Moon Twp. Specific PPE Requirements Eye and Face Protection Hearing Protection EH Rated Foot Protection Hand/Arm Protection Head Protection

20 Eye and Face Protection Common causes of eye injuries: Exposure or contact with gases, vapors, liquids, dusts, powders, fumes, mists and / or intense light sources. Flying objects or particles Splashing metal Electrical hazards

21 Eye and Face Protection Safety glasses with side shields must be worn while in industrial areas or at any location where a particulate hazard exists. Employees requiring prescription lenses must have the prescription incorporated into the design of the safety glasses or wear eye protection over there regular glasses. *Dark safety glasses are prohibited inside the building. *Slip-on Side Shields are not authorized for use at this facility. *Metal Framed glasses are not permitted for use by employees performing electrical testing, troubleshooting or engineering functions. All safety glasses must be ANSI Z87 rated. All ANSI rated glasses will be stamped Z

22 Eye and Face Protection Goggles and/or Face Shields : Must be worn when conducting work that creates airborne dust such as grinding or using compressed air for cleaning. Must also be worn when handling liquid material that present a splash hazard. Face shields provide full-face protection Always wear eye protection under a face shield

23 Hearing Protection The primary purpose of a hearing protection is to provide a barrier to prevent excess noise from reaching the ear. Hearing protectors do not eliminate the noise - they reduce the sound level by between 15 and 25 decibels if properly used. Employees must wear hearing protection in designated high noise areas or when operating noisy equipment (noise levels exceed 80 decibels). If the noise level is above normal conversation level, hearing protection must be worn

24 Hearing Protection Hearing protection is required to be worn: When Green Light is flashing in the Machine Shop / Model lab In Test Labs when the Sound Ears are activated Any temporary job task where noise exceeds 80 decibels Types of Protection provided: Ear Plugs Ear Muffs 24 24

25 Foot Protection EH rated safety-toed footwear must be worn in all areas where industrial processes take place to include Shipping / Receiving Docks, 1 st Floor Lab Areas and while moving objects over 40 Pounds in all other areas of the facility. Closed toed/heeled shoes may be worn 1 st Floor Lab Area, as long a the person is not leaving the designated walk ways. NO Open-Toed Shoes in lab areas. Open-toed/heeled shoes are not permitted in industrial areas

26 Head Protection Barricades must be utilized to prevent persons from entering areas where elevated work is being performed. Barricades should be erected at least 6 feet from the edge of work. All personnel working within the perimeter of the barricade must wear appropriate hard hats. Hard hats may also be required to be worn when the head is exposed to overhead hazards, falling objects or electrical shock

27 Respiratory Protection Based on Industrial Hygiene sampling of this facility, all respirator use at the Moon Twp. site is voluntary. Only trained and approved individuals are authorized to use filtering facepieces. See your Supervisor or EHS department for further details

28 PPE Summary PPE is our last line of defense. All team members must ensure all other provided engineering and administrative controls are properly utilized and working. All approved PPE will be provided to the employee Make sure PPE is compatible with the job Keep all PPE in tip-top condition (clean and inspect often) At the first sign of wear or deterioration, replace your PPE Store PPE in the proper manner and location You must wear the PPE, even though the hazard it protects against may not be present at all times The PPE must fit you properly to be effective Ask questions Contact your Supervisor or EHS 28 28

30 Purpose of Training This training provides an overview of: The Global Harmonized System (GHS) The labeling system under the GHS The SDS format Reminder of Site s Hazardous Communication Plan 30 30

31 OSHA Hazard Communication Background OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 29 C.F.R Encourages safe handling of and use of hazardous chemicals through labels, safety data sheets (SDS), and employee training. Recently modified to adopt United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals ( GHS ), in order to improve and standardize the consistency of information globally on SDS and labels

32 OSHA Hazard Communication Background 29 C.F.R (a)(1) The purpose of the Hazard Communication regulation is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to employers and employees. You should never be put in the position where you are not aware of the hazards associated with the materials you are using

33 GHS Overview Globally Harmonized System ( GHS ) for Classification of Labeling of Chemicals Is a uniform approach to defining and classifying chemical hazards, conveyed through Labels and Safety Data Sheets. Criteria for hazard classification and hazard communication standardized throughout all countries that have adopted the GHS. Sets forth a single, comprehensive system that addresses safety of workers, consumers, transport workers, and emergency responders

34 Chemical Labeling Containers must be labeled, tagged or marked with the following: Product Identification Signal Word Pictogram Hazard Statement Precautionary Statement Contact Information (shipped containers) How the product is identified. This can be a chemical name, code number or batch number. The same product identifier will be on the label and Section 1 of the SDS. Used to indicate the relative severity of the hazard and alert the reader to a potential hazard. There are two signal words: Danger (more severe hazards) and Warning (less severe hazards). There will be only one signal word on the label (the most protective one). OSHA has designated 8 pictograms for application to a hazard category. Describes the nature of the hazard(s), including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard. Phrase that describes the recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting form exposure to the chemical or improper storage or handling. Name, address, telephone number of the manufacturer, importer or other responsible party 34 34

35 Chemical Labeling Secondary container is defined as any container being used beyond the original manufacturer s bottle that the chemical was shipped in. This may include: portable or working containers, and storage bottles that are created for distribution of smaller amounts of the chemical Secondary labeling systems are still permitted Must be consistent with the new GHS requirements No conflicting hazard warnings or pictograms. May use written materials (e.g., signs, placards, etc.) in lieu of affixing labels to individual stationary process containers. Employer can use GHS compliant labels (same as shipping). HMIS Label HEALTH FIRE PHYSICAL HZ NFPA Label PPE 35 35

36 Chemical Labeling HMIS/NFPA Hazard Ratings 0 = Minimal Hazard 1 = Slight Hazard 2 = Moderate Hazard 3 = Serious Hazard 4 = Severe Hazard GHS Hazard Categories Category 1 = Severe Hazard Category 2 = Serious Hazard Category 3 = Moderate Hazard Category 4 = Slight Hazard Category 5 = Minimal Hazard HMIS/NFPA rating system remains the same GHS numbers are used for hazard classification in the SDS but not typically shown on labels 36 36

37 Approved GHS Label Product Identifier Suppler Identification Hazard Pictographs Signal Word Hazardous Statement Precautionary Statements Supplemental Information 37 37

38 Pictograms & Hazards The following pictograms are universal and must be used on chemical labels where the associated hazards exists. If more then one hazard exists, multiple pictograms can must be used

39 Safety Data Sheets Overview Formerly Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). SDSs must be readily available in workplace. SDS contains sixteen specific sections. Format for new SDSs is uniform across the world.
