4.0 Hazard Communication Procedures <br /> 4.1 Hazard Communication Procedures <br /> The purpose of hazard communication (Employee Right-to-Know) is to ensure that the hazards of all <br /> chemicals located at this field project site are communicated according to CMS-710-01-PR-00400 and <br /> 29 CFR 1926.59 to all CB&I personnel and CB&I subcontractors. Personnel must follow the hazard <br /> communication procedures listed in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 when handling corrosive materials. Each <br /> site/project must develop a Hazard Communication plan following the template CMS- 710-01-FM-00403 <br /> found in Appendix D. <br /> 4.2 Contaminants of Concern Profile <br /> See Table 4 for a summary profile of the hazards and control measures to follow for the contaminants of <br /> concern (COC). This profile is based on recent site history and site characterization. For more detailed <br /> and specific information, always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or equivalent information for the <br /> compound(see Appendix D). <br /> 4.2.1 Corrosive Material Handling Procedures <br /> Corrosive materials include acids and bases. They are extremely corrosive materials with a variety of <br /> uses. Acids include hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids. Bases include sodium hydroxide. Observe <br /> the following procedures when working with corrosive materials: <br /> • Wear gloves and eye-splash protection while using acid dispensed from a small dropper bottle <br /> during water sampling. <br /> • Wear a full-face, air-purifying respirator equipped with combination cartridges (organic vapor/acid <br /> gas)as well as Tyvek coveralls and nitrile gloves for large volume applications. <br /> • Have an eyewash bottle and/or portable eyewash station on site. <br /> • Cap all drums after dispensing chemicals. <br /> • Do not add anything into a virgin chemical drum, including unused product. <br /> • Avoid mixing strong acids and bases. Consult HSM for task-specific evaluation. If mixing is <br /> absolutely necessary, do it slowly.Avoid vapors or fumes that are generated. <br /> • When diluting acids,add the acid to water in small quantities and mix cautiously. <br /> When diluting bases,add water to the base in small quantities and mix cautiously. <br /> 4.2.2 Hazard Communication Program <br /> 4.2.2.1 Container Labeling <br /> CB&I personnel will ensure that all drums and containers are labeled according to contents. These drums <br /> and containers will include those from manufacturers and those produced on site by operations. All <br /> incoming and outgoing labels shall be checked for identity, hazard warning, and name and address of <br /> responsible party. <br /> 4.2.2.2 Employee Information and Training <br /> An ongoing corporate training program will train employees on chemical hazards. In addition, chemical <br /> hazards will be communicated to employees through daily safety meetings and by an initial site <br /> 4-1 <br />
