Where trucks are driven into the building there is a potential for carbon monoxide. Standard procedure is for all trucks to have the engine shut off whenever they are not being moved into unloading or loading position. Large overhead doors must be opened to allow trucks in or out of the building and provide adequate ventilation. Ventilation ducts are also present in this area. Flammable product storage—flammable aerosols, flammables, flammable gasses Flammable aerosols and flammable liquids are stored in small quantities in flammable safety cabinets. Liquid propane used for the BBQ may be stored in caged areas per fire department and insurance guidelines. Housekeeping—corrosives, irritants, oxidizers (bleach), sensitizers Housekeeping and custodial staff routinely use typical cleaning products in relatively small quantities. All containers must be properly labeled, and appropriate PPE worn when dispensing concentrated solutions. Ultraclean—corrosives, irritants Cleaning chemicals used in the Sanis Ultraclean process may include solvents, corrosives, and irritants. PPE and handling procedures for these chemicals are addressed in the JSA for the task. Soiled product — Route drivers, unloaders, and wash alley personnel may be exposed to various chemical substances, including oils, grease, solvents, dusts, etc. in garments or bulk products from customer sites. These substances typically do not present exposure issues and can be handled with minimal personal protective equipment, such as long sleeves and gloves. Customers are prohibited from contaminating Cintas products with hazardous substances per contractual agreements unless otherwise notified. If this facility processes any customer products containing Cal-OSHA regulated or extremely hazardous substances, partners are provided with additional training and special non-contact handling methods are followed [see Customer Heavy Metals program and Customer Health Care Processing program] New customer accounts that may involve hazardous substances are evaluated by a trained safety staff member before they are approved for processing. Noise— Cintas Location 922 conducts walk-through surveys with a noise meter at least twice per year. Surveys concentrate on those areas that are most likely to have elevated noise levels, for example the wash alley, wastewater treatment, mat cleaning machine, and boiler room. Should any areas be identified, based on the noise reading and estimated exposure time, that may approach or exceed the Cal-OSHA action level of 85 dB TWA, additional work shift noise monitoring with dosimeters will be conducted. Heat stress — Heat stress is a concern for both production personnel and route drivers, and Cintas Location 922 conducts annual heat stress training with additional review sessions as weather conditions dictate. Cintas partners with heat exposure are provided with ample supplies of water and/or electrolyte drinks during warm weather and encouraged to take breaks as needed. Cintas Location 922 Heat Stress program provides a detailed summary of exposure risks and controls which include: hydration, cooling areas, fans, acclimatization, PPE to mitigate heat exposure (cooling towels), and heat index monitoring/communication. Biological hazards — Cintas Location 922 currently processes/may process products that are potentially contaminated with bloodborne pathogens or other infectious substances. Accounts containing these products and methods for safe handling are contained in the location's Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan and/or standard operating procedures. If there may be free liquids in these products, e.g. microfiber mops, special non-contact handling procedures are followed [see Healthcare Account Guidelines]. All personnel who may be exposed to potentially infectious materials are provided with PPE per the exposure control plan, offered the Hepatitis B vaccination series, and are required to attend bloodborne pathogen training on an 3
