6.3 Hazardous Substance Request


All hazardous substances to be brought on-site must be evaluated for hazard
potential, possible substitutes, use, handling, storage and disposal requirements.
Hazardous substances can be brought onto site after a Hazardous Substances
Request for the substance has been approved by the Environmental Coordinator.

The request is to be completed by the team member requiring the haz- ardous
substance on-site and forwarded with a copy of the MSDS to the Environmental
Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will evaluate each hazardous
substance prior to being brought on-site. In performing the evaluation, the
Environmental Coordinator will utilize available infor- mation such as project
drawings and documentation, current online and/or hard copy MSDS and other
available references.

In addition, hazardous substance evaluations will be based on applicable


legislative requirements for the management of the substance, training of team
members, recognized HSE standards and information in the MSDS.

Once the evaluation is complete, the request may be approved, approved with
restrictions or rejected.

When a hazardous substance is rejected for use on-site, the reason(s) for the
rejection and an alternative substance will be suggested.

If an unapproved hazardous substance is received on-site, the hazardous


substance will be appropriately stored in a quarantine area and not re- leased until
an approval has been obtained or shall be removed and dis- posed of in
accordance with the project CEMP.

6.4 Hazardous Substance Register


The Hazardous Substance Register is the master list of all approved haz- ardous
substances on-site. The register will contain the following informa- tion:

 Register number
 Generic name/product type
 Trade name
 HAZCHEM code
 Dangerous good code
 Packaging group
 Applicant
 Comments/restrictions
 Location stored
 Quantity on hand
 Annual usage

Hazard Communication

 MSDS received
 MSDS manufacturer issue date
 Contractor name

The Hazardous Substance Register will be developed and maintained by the


Environmental Coordinator for all hazardous substances. The register will be
updated each time a hazardous substance is approved.

The Environmental Coordinator will perform an annual physical inventory of all


hazardous substances on-site and will compare this to the Hazard- ous Substance
Register to ensure accuracy. Substances no longer stored or used on-site will be
moved from the register to a redundant file.

Contractors are required to maintain a register of approved hazardous substances


relevant to their scope of work. Once a contractor has fin- ished with a substance
they are to remove any residual stock from the project and notify the
Environmental Coordinator for the project manifest to be updated.

6.5 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's)


MSDS’s are to be retained for each approved hazardous substance on- site.
MSDS’s for hazardous substances no longer being stored or used onsite shall be
filed and retained.

MSDS’s shall be available and accessible to team members, including first


aid attendants and medical personnel, during all work shifts in rea- sonable
proximity to the work location.

Hazardous substances observed during inspections without the proper MSDS


shall be tagged Out of Service by the person conducting the in- spection and
stored separately from products in use until such time an MSDS for the substance
is provided or the substance is removed from the site.

6.6 Storage of Hazardous Substances


Hazardous substances must be stored in a manner that adequately pro- tects both
human health and the environment from unintended exposure to the substance.
The exposures may include explosion, fire, reactivity, toxicity or any combination
of the hazards.

Storage areas for hazardous substances will be reviewed and approved by the
Environmental Coordinator prior to receipt of the substances on the site. Criteria
for the location of suitable storage areas include:

 Located away from high traffic areas on-site and protected from poten- tial
impact by vehicles/plant, guardrails, fences, or other structural con- trols.

 Provided with a means to control access to the substances in order for


authorized (e.g., trained) team members to remove and use the sub- stances.
 Located away from fence line locations immediately adjacent to envi-
ronmentally sensitive resources (e.g. wetlands, streams, archaeological sites).
 Provided with secondary containment in the form of a bund with the capacity
of 110% of the maximum storage level.
 Provided with a means of segregating combustible and flammable sub- stances
from oxidizing agents and other sources of ignition.
 Provided with a means of preventing water reactive and pyrophoric substances
from coming in contact with accumulated water.
 Appropriate signage to highlight the storage location, the hazardous, codes and
controls for the risk associated with the storage space (i.e., No Smoking).

The Environmental Coordinator may review additional guidance informa- tion on


the location, design, and maintenance or hazardous substances storage areas as
contained in governmental regulations, requests, and/or the Module Yard
Environmental Management Plan (MYEMP).

Contractors shall manage, store, and transport to site location of all haz- ardous
materials generated, handled or disturbed by contractors during its work in
accordance with applicable legislation and all other requirements outlined in the
Module Yard Environmental Management Plan (MYEMP). This includes, but is
not limited to, waste minimization; hazardous materi- als registration; hazardous
materials inventory with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each hazardous
material on-site; employee training; hazardous materials spill management and
reporting; proper storage of hazardous materials; LDGL registration, equipment
decontamination and on-site transport of hazardous materials.

All hazardous substances and dangerous goods locations are strictly no smoking
areas. All potential ignition sources are banned from the areas.

6.7 Labelling
All hazardous substances are to be legibly labelled with the product name,
relevant risk and safety phrases and the name and address of the manufacturer or
supplier. All hazardous substances which are decanted into another container and
not used immediately are to be labelled in the same manner. Labels are not to be
removed or modified for any reason.

Any container of a substance found not having a label is to be tagged with an Out
of Service with the words “UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE – DO NOT USE” and
reported to the Environmental Manger/Coordinator or HSE de- partment.

Hazard Communication

A hazardous substance contained in an enclosed system, such as a pipe, piping


system, process or reactor vessel, shall be identified by having signs, placards, or
other appropriate signage attached containing the same information as a
manufacturer’s original label.

6.8 Signage
Signs are to be placed in appropriate locations to provide information to those
entering the area or use the substances and for emergency re- sponse.

A site HAZCHEM sign will be displayed and the manifest kept in a weather
proof container at the site entrance for the information of external emergency
services.

6.9 Emergency Response


Emergency procedures for a spill, fire, leak or explosion involving hazard- ous
substances are to be developed as part of the work method state- ment process and
refer to the actions contained in the Emergency Pre- paredness and Response
Plan.

Where a risk assessment has identified a need for eye protection to pre- vent eye
injuries from hazardous substances, provision for eye wash sta- tions must be
made.

Handling of corrosive or reducing agents will require eye wash stations and
safety showers be located within close proximity to the work area. The safety
stations will be denoted by the appropriate signage and the eye wash and shower
tested before handling of any substances.

6.10 Spills and Clean Up


Information on spills and clean-up can be found in the relevant Material Safety
Data Sheet, Project Waste Management Procedure and Emer- gency Preparedness
and Response Plan (EP&RP).

All spills are to be reported and promptly cleaned up. Spills with the po- tential to
cause significant environmental harm or injury shall be immedi- ately reported to
the emergency response team. All efforts should be made to contain the spill or
prevent further leakage.

6.11 Disposal
Land fill disposal of hazardous substances will not be accepted unless
specifically authorized by the Environmental Coordinator. All excess haz-
ardous materials and the containers must be removed from site as each phase of
the project is completed.

Management Procedure for more detail.

7.0 EXPOSURE MONITORING AND HEALTH SURVEILLANCE


If a risk assessment, MSDS or legislation indicates there is a significant risk to the
health of team members from dusts, mists or fumes, atmospheric monitor- ing shall be
undertaken. For substances absorbed through the skin or in- gested, biological
monitoring may be required.

Where and how monitoring of the substances shall be performed shall depend on the
location and the nature of the substances. Monitoring may be by per- sonal dosimeter
or area analysis or a combination of both. The qualified per- son performing the
monitoring shall decide, in consultation with the project En- vironmental Coordinator,
upon the monitoring technique to be used.

Atmospheric monitoring shall, as a minimum, comply with legislative require- ments


and personnel performing monitoring shall be suitably trained in moni- toring
techniques. (refer to CP 313 - Air Surveillance Program)

Records of monitoring shall comply with the following:

 Record of the dates, exact locations and results taken of the monitoring.
 Any worker who has been or could be exposed to a hazardous substance which is
subject to monitoring, shall be provided with the results of the monitoring.
 A record of monitoring will be available to project personnel.
 Records of monitoring requiring follow up shall be kept for thirty (30) years.
 Results not requiring follow up shall be kept for five (5) years.

Health surveillance requirements for specific hazardous substances will be de- pendent
on the health effect and the existence of a valid technique to detect signs of the effect.

All health surveillance is to be conducted by or in consultation with the Nomi- nated


Medical Attendant.

Monitoring and surveillance requirements are to be implemented by the con- tractor in


control of the use and storage of the hazardous substance.

8.0 AUDITS
To ensure hazardous substances are stored, labelled, signed, transported and disposed
of in accordance with the procedures and legislative requirements, all workplaces and
vehicles transporting hazardous substances shall be sub- ject to audit. Audits shall be
performed by suitably qualified and trained team members, or suitably qualified
external consultants appointed by the HSE Manager or Environmental Coordinator.
All managers shall be notified of the results of the audit and any remedial action
required.
