What is HAZCOM ?

“HazCom” is short form of “Hazard Communication,” which works to

keep people safe by providing information about potential sources of
injury — specifically, hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is the set of

regulations covering chemical labels in the workplace. These rules
were updated in 2012 to generally align with an international
standard called the
Globally Harmonized System (GHS).

Because this update was published in 2012, many people refer to

the current set of rules as “HazCom 2012.”

What is Hazardous
Material?
A material or waste with
properties that make it
dangerous or capable of
having a harmful effect
on human health and /
or the environment.
Can be immediate,
short-term or long-term
risks.

 Hazardous Materials Symbols

• Definition: A solid,
Flammab liquid or gas that will
le ignite and continue to
burn if exposed to
flame.
• Examples: Propane,
gasoline, solvents,
aluminum dust, paints.
• Prevention: Avoid
ignition sources,
properly ground
containers, and use
correct PPE.
 Hazardous Materials Symbols

• Definition: These
materials may react
Corrosiv with metals or living
e tissue on contact. May
irritate or burn skin,
eyes, or lungs on
contact or over a long
period of exposure.
• Examples: Acids,
alkalis, bleach,
batteries.
• Prevention: Avoid skin
contact and protect
your eyes and face by
wearing PPE.
 Hazardous Materials Symbols

• Definition: These
materials may react if
Reactiv dropped, shaken,
heated, put under
e pressure, or may
release a poisonous
gas if exposed to
water. Serious health
risk if gas is inhaled or
material explodes.
• Examples: Epoxy
resin, sodium metal,
acetylene.
• Prevention: Avoid
spilling material and
contaminating your
skin or clothing.
 Hazardous Materials Symbols

Toxic • Definition: Material

which may cause
harmful health
effects after
repeated exposure
over a long period of
time.
• Examples : Carbon
Monoxide, Chlorine.
• Prevention: Avoid
direct contact.
 Hazardous Materials Symbols

• Definition: An
Biohazar organism or its toxins
d that may cause
serious infectious
disease, illness, or
death.
• Examples of
Hazardous
Materials: Anthrax,
Medical Waste such as
infected blood or body
fluid, dressings and
syringes.
• Prevention: Avoid
 Hazardous Materials Symbols
Definition:
• A compressed gas remains gaseous at -50°C and
may include:
• Liquefied gas: A gas stored at > 29 psi and is
partially liquid at temperatures above -50°C .
Compressed Gases • Dissolved gas: A gas dissolved in a liquid solvent at
> 29 psi
Examples:
• Compressed gas: Nitrogen, argon, helium, oxygen,
hydrogen
• Liquefied gas: Chlorine, carbon dioxide, nitrous
oxide, dichlorane, hydrogen bromide
• Dissolved gas in Solution: Acetylene
Prevention:
One of the common hazards to all compressed gases is
the substantial volume expansion that occurs when
they are released into the air. For its storage we need:
• Well ventilated and secured room/ container
• Proper chains & stacking positioning
• Segregation of hazardous & dangerous gas
 Hazardous Materials Symbols
● Definition:
Oxidizers are materials that
spontaneously evolve oxygen at
Oxidizers room temperature or with slight
heating or promote combustion.
● Examples:
Nitrates, nitric acid, bromine, chlorates,
chromates, inorganic peroxides etc.
● Prevention:
Oxidizers should be stored in a
cool and dry location. Segregate
oxidizers from all other
chemicals. Minimize the
quantities of strong oxidizers.

Waste Management Procedures

Source Reduction

Waste minimization can be done in the

following ways:

• Material elimination
• Inventory control and
management
• Material substitution
• Reduction of consumption
• Process modification
• Improved housekeeping
 Hazardous Materials Inventory

 Hazardous materials brought to the site by

Contractors must be recorded in inventory log,

The record shall include:

• Name of the material

• Quantity,
• Type,
• SDS, and
• the quantity of spill response materials that
will be available on site.
 Handling and Storage of
Hazardous Materials / Waste

• Ensure all containers are properly labelled with name of the material / waste,
date of generation and its designation.
• Ensure all materials/waste are property packed and contained with spacing
between containers for inspection and emergency exit.
• Inspect storage areas regularly for leakages or corrosion.
• Ensure no waste containers are overflowing.
• Do not mix different liquids or chemicals unless
specifically told to do so.
• All hazardous material containers will be clearly labeled
with the material being stored and the date of
accumulation.
• Provide safety equipment at storage facility including
“Spill kit, Eye wash station & Emergency Shower, Fire
Control Equipment, and specific PPE Box (containing
