Industdal, Hygiene Program for Cintas Location 922 <br /> Baseline Surrey <br /> The work operations and processes at Cintas Location 922 have been reviewed and analyzed by <br /> location management in consultation with corporate safaty staff and the following potential health <br /> hazards noted. <br /> SDS for hazardous chemicals used at the facility can be found in the electronic Chemical Safety <br /> Management System. SDS shall be readily available in the workplace for each substance along <br /> with a written Hazard Communication program. Jn addition, hazards associated with specific jab <br /> functions are outlined in the Job Safety Anaiysis (JSA), along with the measures needed to <br /> protect employees while perfafmin g the task_ <br /> The following sections of the Baseline Survey have been customized to locatiorr 922. <br /> Processes utIlizing chernicais or producing physical, or health hazards may include; <br /> Boiler room -- corrosives, noise <br /> Boiler room chemicals are typically staged in 55-gal drums or enclosed delivery systems and then <br /> transferred into the process using small chernicaI pumpS andlor tubing Appropriate PPE, such as <br /> gloves and face shield, are utihzed as needed. <br /> Bulk chemical storage - corrosives <br /> Corrosive chemicals used in the wash process are typically stored in drums andior bulk tanks <br /> inside spill containment structures_ The chemicals are transferred to the washers via non-contact <br /> methods such as pumps and transfer lines. <br /> Wastewater treatment-- health hazW{silica}, corrosives, noise <br /> Wastewater treatment operations may involve the use of bentonite clay which may contain a <br /> srnaII amount of silica. Granular clay is added by dumping a 2000 lb. super sack into the clay <br /> hopper above the clay tank. The entire process takes Jess than 10 minutes_ <br /> Air sampling of the clay addition process has been conducted at pintas locations and consistently <br /> shown total respirable silica levels far below regulated level's in Jndustrial hygiene surveys, <br /> Wash alley—corrosives, oxidizers (bleach), noise <br /> Wash chemicals are transferred to the washers via pumps and transfer lines and are not directly <br /> handled by operators <br /> Maintenance shop — gasses under pressure, flammable gas, flammables, flammable <br /> aerosols, irritants. acute toxic ty (welding fumes) <br /> Various substances are used in relatively small quantities for normal maintenance and repair <br /> activities Paints, lubricants, adhesives, and degreasers may be present in small quantities. <br /> Compressed gasses and flammabfe gases may be stored Welding is rare and must follow the <br /> hot work permit process limited welding on stainless steel is allowed per restrictions cullired In <br /> policy. <br /> Forklift(PITS) — corrosives <br /> Forklift use is typically very intermittent. The Charging station for the battery powered PIT is <br /> provided with a corrosive spill kit, access to flushing stations, and PPE. <br /> Truck drive thmug h --acute toxicity (carbon monoxido) <br /> 2 <br />
