Hazard Communication
#417
UNDERSTANDING HAZARD COMMUNICATION — This is an excellent video
to introduce the fundamentals of a hazard communication program to employees.
The hazard evaluation, labeling, MSDS, and chemical list are all discussed.
An overview of the written program and training requirements is also presented.
(11 Minutes)
#450
HAZCOM - REVIEW — This video reviews the basics of Hazard Communication
starting with defining the three forms of chemicals, the four ways chemicals
enter the body, and also the way chemicals hurt the body. Hazard communication
program basics should include marking, labeling, training, and inventory
of chemicals through the use of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Availability
of MSDS’s and employee training, as well as the employees’ responsibility
are reviewed. (7:10 Minutes)
#452
HAZCOM: LABELS & MSDS’s — This video specifically talks
about labeling and MSDS’s as they apply in the Hazard Communication
Program. Labels should contain three parts - name of the chemical, name
and address of the manufacturer, and the hazards of the chemical. Hazard
warning can be in different formats such as health, fire and reactivity
labels, or corrosive, oxidizer, carcinogen, or water reactive warnings.
They may also tell you what PPE is required. It tells the viewer that MSDS’s
summarize key health and safety information in different sections on the
MSDS. A review of the different sections is covered. (8:05 Minutes)
#458
HAZCOM: TRAINING — This video emphasizes that training is a key
element when working with chemical hazards. The difference between physical
and health hazards is discussed. How to determine what chemicals are through
the use of labels and MSDS is covered. Acute versus chronic health hazards
are reviewed. The three main ways to reduce exposure through the use of
engineering controls, safe work practices, and personal protective equipment
and examples of each are given. (8:20 Minutes)
#464
HAZMAT SPILLS: ARE YOU READY? — If you work around chemicals there
is always a potential for spills. You should know what to do and where
to go. Employees should know who is responsible for clean-up whether it
is an outside group or an internal group of employees. The need for employees
to recognize specific hazards and prevent spills is highlighted. Training
to follow company emergency response or spill control plans is emphasized.
Keeping the spills from happening through proper handling of chemicals,
reporting damaged containers, and maintenance of engineering controls are
reviewed. (6:37 Minutes)
#467
LEAD AWARENESS — A humorous game show look at where lead is found
is presented. Aspects covered include sources of lead, how lead enters
the body, organs affected by lead, signs and symptoms of lead poisoning,
what employees can do to reduce hazards, children’s sensitivity to
lead, the role of medical monitoring and the effect of lead on developing
fetuses are all discussed. (10:14 Minutes)
#470
HAZARDOUS WASTE AWARENESS — Knowing how to properly handle and
store chemicals can make your workplace a safer place. This video first
identifies what waste is considered hazardous: ignitable, corrosive, reactive,
and toxic. Use of personal protective equipment, reducing the amount of
waste generated, proper storage, and separation of incompatible wastes
are reviewed. (6:01 Minutes)
#493
HANDLING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS — This video discusses precautions
to take when handling hazardous materials. Hazardous materials can be either
toxic, flammable, or corrosive. Emphasis on knowing the chemicals you are
handling through the use of MSDS’s, using personal protective equipment,
how to open containers with proper tools, the use of labels, and inspecting
and using the appropriate containers. Also proper disposal of chemicals,
the use of static grounding cables on flammables, never combining chemicals,
understanding the hazards, taking the precautions, and knowing the emergency
procedures. 6:07 Minutes)
#500
HAZCOM: USING MSDS's — “Jim” has to give a training
program on MSDSs. While he is practicing his presentation “Harvey
Heretohelpyou” a green martian helps him review the key points. The
different sections on the MSDS are covered and also the basic requirements
of MSDSs are reviewed. The Physical Data section includes the chemical
name, common name, ingredients, fire and explosion data, emergency procedures,
and phone numbers. The Health Data section includes the routes of exposure,
effects of overexposure, and first aid procedures. The Special Protection
section covers what PPE is required. The summary states that MSDSs should
be centrally located, maintained as to current inventory, and be available
to employees at all times. (12:05 Minutes)
#513
HAZCOM: REDUCING EXPOSURE — This humorous video covers the basics
of chemical exposure through inhalation, ingestion, and absorption. Chemical
awareness goals should be to identify what they are, the hazards they create
and to reduce the exposure. Methods to reduce exposure include engineering
controls, safe work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Maintenance of PPE and permissible exposure limits (PEL) are discussed.
This video encourages employee participation to reduce exposures. (9:34
Minutes)
#538
HAZWOPER: ROLE OF THE FIRST RESPONDER — This video reviews the
basic elements of a HAZCOM program. First responders need to recognize
the hazards on sight. Company emergency contingency plans should be in
place. Proper personal protective equipment, training, monitoring equipment,
slip/fall, electrical, confined space, and lifting hazards need to be identified
by first responders. The video emphasizes that the incident should be critiqued
and include suggestions for improvement. (9:26 Minutes)
#542
HAZCOM: WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW CAN HURT YOU — Is your HAZCOM
program working for you? A near miss at this plant causes the employee
safety team to review their HAZCOM program. This video reviews labeling,
inventory, Material Safety Data Sheets and information contained in them,
and the company HAZCOM program. The video emphasizes that the program is
only effective when employees take personal responsibility. This is a good
video to review with employees the importance of actively participa- ting
in HAZCOM programs. (12 Minutes)
#566
HAZ-COM EMPLOYEE TRAINING — Many chemicals in the workplace are
considered hazardous because they may be carcinogens, toxic, irritants
or corrosive. Employees must know what they are working with in their daily
activities. This video defines OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. It
describes the elements of a written program. Through the example of an
employee transferred to a new department, the video shows how he receives
training on chemicals in his new work area before he can work safely in
that area. The video reviews information provided on manufacturers' labels
and each section on a MSDS. This video is good for refresher training for
all employees. (13 Minutes)

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOR THE SAFETY MANAGER – This video reviews the integration of industrial hygiene as part of the safety management process. Three key elements are highlighted: recognition, evaluation, and control. Recognizing and anticipating hazards, using measuring equipment, and creating barriers between people and chemicals are explained. (4:56 Minutes)
#682
COMMON TOXICOLOGY TERMS OF AN MSDS – In order to evaluate and understand potential health hazards, a basic knowledge of toxicology is necessary. This video defines toxicology, degree of toxicity, dose and response. Minimizing exposure is the ultimate goal. Points of emphasis include a knowledge of routes of entry, common terms such as LD50 and LC50, physiological effects, and health hazards, including irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, target organ poisons, neurotoxins and anesthetics. (11:45 Minutes)

RIGHT-TO-KNOW: CUSTODIANS/MAINTENANCE – As professionals, we see and use hazardous chemicals every day. Learning the hazard and taking the steps necessary to reduce the risks are covered in this video. All chemicals should be treated as potential hazards. Policies and procedures for labeling and reading labels, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) including where to find them and the type of information contained in each section, never mixing chemicals at work or at home and using proper quantities are all discussed. This video is a good, quick refresher on hazard communication for housekeeping personnel. (9:10 Minutes)
