Universal Health & Safety Plan For use on all high-risk,industrial and HAZWOPER projects Department of Toxic Substances Control Attachment J : Project Hazardous Materials Communication Plan Materials to be brought or encountered onsite will have a Safety Data Sheet(SDS)maintained in an accessible location for workers to review. Applicable SDSs are presented in Attachment G. As part of the Site Safety Officer(SSO)daily activities, an inventory of hazardous materials will be prepared with the quantities expected to be on site. The inventory will be updated if any additional materials are brought on site and as frequently as necessary to reflect accurate quantities.This chemical inventory list will be readily available for review(usually kept with the SDSs). Unless each container has appropriate labeling, all chemical containers will be labeled with the following information: ■ Product name and identity of the hazardous chemical(s). ■ Appropriate hazard warnings. ■ Name and address of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party. Labels on incoming containers of hazardous materials will not be removed or defaced. Labels are also required when a hazardous substance is transferred from a primary container to a secondary container. Labels on secondary containers must indicate the product name or the names of the hazardous substances contained therein as well as related physical and health hazards and their associated target organs. Labels may incorporate words, pictures, symbols, or combinations thereof to ensure the appropriate information is provided to the end user. Examples of acceptable labeling systems include the National Fire Protection Association Diamond,the Hazardous Materials Identification System, the Chemical Hazard Identification and Training system, or similar. Employee requirements for reviewing SDSs for specific safety and health protection procedures are presented below. ■ AHAs will incorporate information contained in the SDSs. ■ SDS information will be followed in the use and disposal of material and selection of hazard control and emergency response measures. ■ The SSO will obtain an SDS for each chemical before it is used. SDSs will generally be received by the person ordering the product. SDSs for products frequently used should be kept on file because additional copies may not be included in repeat shipments. ■ The SSO will review each SDS when it is received to evaluate whether the information is complete and to determine whether existing protective measures are adequate. ■ The SSO will maintain a collection of all applicable and relevant SDSs in an area that is accessible to all employees at all times. An electronic database is an acceptable method of maintaining the SDSs. ■ The SSO will replace SDSs when updated sheets are received and will communicate any significant changes to those who work with the chemical. ■ SDSs are required for all hazardous materials brought on site by project personnel. General household products to be used for their specific purpose,food, drugs, and cosmetics brought into the workplace for employee use and consumption are all exempt, as are supplies in the first-aid kit, such as isopropyl alcohol and antibacterial wipes. Employees bringing hazardous materials on to a site or project must submit SDSs to the SSO. The SSO may restrict the use of certain hazardous materials on a site or project due to occupational health risk, hazardous physical properties of the material, or potential employee sensitivity to odor or irritating properties of the material. ©AECOM Restricted Universal Heath and Safety Plan Template(S4(DSC)AM-209-FM-C) I-1 Revision 12 September 9,2021 PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED.CONTROLLED COPY IS AVAILABLE ON COMPANY INTRANET.
