II.All employees need to understand the procedures to be-used in responding to various kinds <br /> of emergencies involving spills of hazardous materials. This section of the Emergency <br /> Response Procedures, outlines the First Aid Procedures for exposure to gasoline and diesel <br /> fuel from each Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). All employees need to know this <br /> information for their own personal safety, the safety of their co-workers as well as the safety <br /> of customers that could be exposed. The MSDS's for these and other work site chemicals are <br /> filed by product type in the Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Binder at the cashier area. <br /> First Aid Procedures for Exposure to Gasoline and Diesel <br /> A. EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open and seek <br /> attention immediately. <br /> B. SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Flush affected area with <br /> soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Follow by washing with soap and water. Do <br /> not reuse clothing until cleaned, contaminated shoes must not be reused. If irritation <br /> persists, seek medical attention. <br /> C. INHALATION (Breathing): Remove victim to fresh air and provide oxygen if <br /> breathing is difficult. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention <br /> immediately. <br /> D. INGESTION (Swallowing): <br /> DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING BECAUSE GASOLINE CAN ENTER LUNGS AND CAUSE <br /> SEVERE LUNG DAMAGE! If vomiting occurs spontaneously keep head below hips to <br /> prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs and seek medical attention immediately. <br /> E. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: If more than 2.0 ml per kg has been ingested and vomiting <br /> has not occurred, emesis should be induced with medical supervision. Keep victim's <br /> head below hips to prevent aspiration. If symptoms such as loss of gag reflex, <br /> convulsions or unconsciousness occur before emesis, gastric lavage using a cuffed <br /> endotracheal tube should be considered. <br /> F. For further information, consult the Materials Safety Data Sheets for these products <br /> and for other hazardous materials in the HAZCOM Binder. <br /> G. OTHER WORKPLACE CHEMICALS: Before handling ANY chemical, employees <br /> must review the MSDS for PROTECTIVE MEASURES (PPE), HEALTH HAZARD <br /> DATA, SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES, and FIRST AID procedures. <br /> ANNUAL CLASSROOM EMPLOYEE TRAINING TOPICS <br /> • Hazwoper <br /> • Hazard Communication <br /> • Lock-Out/Tag-Out <br /> • California Impact Valve&Nozzle Operation <br /> • Fire Safety <br /> • Safety Orientation <br /> • SB 198 Injury Illness& Prevention Program <br /> • Emergency Response&Spill Cleanup Procedures <br /> • UST Monitoring System Alarm Response &Reporting <br /> • Robbery Prevention System <br /> Alcohol and Tobacco Awareness <br /> RFC Workbook Section 7-Emergency Response Page 3 of 4 Form#ER-1 Revision Date: January 2007 <br />
