Task/Step Potential Hazards Recommended Safe Job Procedures

1. Chemical 1. ALL HOUSEKEEPING / All employees must receive HAZCOM training before using any chemicals.
Handling JANITORIAL CHEMICALS
2. Corrosive materials Always read the MSDS or the SDS before using any chemicals.
3. Poor Housekeeping
Chemicals should only be used for their intended purpose. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the
correct usage of any chemicals.

Refer to the MSDS or SDS for manufacturers recommendations on PPE.

Common PPE for dealing with chemicals may be, but not limited to: long sleeved chemical resistant
gloves and aprons, splash goggles, face shield, long sleeved shirt, full leg pants, splash resistant non slip
footwear and respiratory protection.

Wearing the correct PPE is a requirement. There is a "NO TOLERANCE" policy for not following this
rule.

Chemical containers that contain chemicals for immediate usage do not need a label on them as long as
they do not leave the user's sight and all leftover chemical is disposed of according to the MSDS or
SDS when the user is done with the chemical. All other chemical containers need the correct label on
the container.

Chemicals should only be mixed according to the chemical manufacturers instructions. NEVER mix
chemicals without the proper instructions.

In the event of a chemical emergency ( injury, spill, and physical damage to property) immediately

Recommended Safe Job Procedures
STOP and notify onsite supervisors. Notify safety department. Follow all site specific reporting
procedures.
Follow manufacturers recommended disposal procedures according to the MSDS or SDS.
Always store chemicals away from heat or open flames. Non compatible chemicals should not be stored
together. Corrosive chemicals should always be stored in containment and should not be stored above
other chemicals.
Perform a last minute risk assessment before performing any material handling task.
Make sure to check the path of travel for any obstacles before moving any materials.
Perform a proper warm up and stretch before performing any material handling task.
The PPE required for any material handling tasks are: Safety glasses, appropriate gloves and
appropriate non slip footwear. Additional PPE may be required depending upon environment
conditions.
Always know the weight of the material that is being handled. Do not lift any items that may require
you to strain as you are lifting. Use mechanical advantage when possible.
If any material is too heavy for you to safely lift without straining STOP! Ask for help from a coworker
to lift the material.
Use proper SIMS or lifting techniques.
If moving materials up and down stairs or from elevated work platforms use a buddy system and
proceed slowly.
When using mechanical advantage be aware of pinch point locations.
When pushing or pulling materials using mechanical advantage transport vehicles be cautious when
nearing corners and intersections. Give a verbal warning and use the hallway mirrors to see oncoming
traffic.
Always treat bloodborne pathogens or bodily fluids as infectious material.
Perform a last minute risk assessment when dealing with blood borne pathogens or bodily fluids.
Task/Step Potential Hazards Recommended Safe Job Procedures
Don all barrier PPE: PPE is determined by the severity / amount of the blood borne pathogens or bodily
fluid. There is a NO TOLERANCE POLICY for not wearing the correct PPE.

Examples:
Dried up blood spot on a pillow case would only require safety glasses, nitrile glove or equivalent glove
and proper uniform.

A large blood spot that is not dry would require safety goggles, face shield, impermeable apron, long
sleeve impermeable gloves, impermeable footwear and proper uniform.

For all blood borne pathogen or bodily fluid clean up, saturate the affected area with RelyOn or Virkon
S disinfectant and let the product work for a minimum of 10 minutes. This will destroy most of the
harmful pathogens and bacteria. Clean up the affected area using disposable towels. Then repeat the
first step again. Secure all contaminated items into a bio hazard container and give to the onsite medical
facility or safety department for disposal.

If dealing with linens or items that are to be washed, throw two tablets into the washing machine at the
start of the wash cycle. Make sure to turn the extra rinse cycle on.

Refer to Hazcom program when dealing with any cleaning or sanitation chemicals.

When moving biohazard containers never place finger or other body parts into them as this may lead to
injuries such as needle pokes or razor cuts. Close the lid or bag and safely transport to the onsite
medical staff or safety department for disposal.

If you come into any contact with bloodborne pathogens or bodily fluids on your clothing immediately
remove affected clothing. Wash all areas of your skin that may have become contaminated with soap
and water. Treat contaminated clothing the same way as contaminated linens.

If you come into any bodily contact with blood borne pathogens or bodily fluids, immediately Stop
what you are doing. Thoroughly wash the affected area with soap and water. Then see the on-site
medical staff for further evaluation.

If any blood borne pathogens or bodily fluids come into contact with eyes, mouth, nose, wounds or
other open orifices of your body, STOP and immediately report to the onsite medical staff.
