4 Hazardous Materials I Primary Knowledge Participant Guide Description and Estimated Time This purpose of this learning module is to provide information on hazardous materials and how these materials could affect one s health and the safety of the working environment. This information should provide students and employees with the knowledge and confidence needed to work in environments in which hazardous materials are used and stored. This unit provides some of the content information needed to safely work with and around hazardous materials. Hazardous Materials (HazMat) I provides information on the federal regulations for HazMat training and discusses the characteristics of chemicals that create physical hazards such as explosions and violent reactions. Hazardous Materials II covers the characteristics of chemicals that are considered health hazards. It also covers how chemicals can enter the body and what one can do to prevent toxic exposure. Both of these units should be studied prior to working in a micro-fabrication facility. The information presented is brief. Allow at least minutes. Hazardous Chemical HazMat I provides an introduction to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Association) regulations and some of the terminology and symbols associated with hazardous materials, specifically physical hazards. It should precede all activities in which one is required to handle, work with or around chemicals.

5 Introduction According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 32 million Americans work with chemicals and there are approximately 650,000 chemicals in the workplace. Companies that manufacture MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) are heavily dependent upon chemicals in their processes. Such chemicals include hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, ammonia, and potassium hydroxide, just to name a few. An understanding of the hazards associated with all chemicals is a requirement of ALL employees. It is also the responsibility and right of every employee to know these hazards and understand their right to request that their employer adhere to all safety and OSHA requirements. Why is this information important? One of the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) [29CFR ] requires employers to provide training for all employees on how to locate information on specific chemicals (Safety Data Sheets SDS), how to interpret SDS s and how to interpret chemical labels. The OSHA Lab Standard [29CFR ] applies to all laboratories that use hazardous chemicals in accordance with the definition of laboratory use and scale. Where this standard applies, it supersedes some of the provisions in the HCS. Chemical Label Information Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 2 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

6 What Everyone Should Know All chemicals are required to have labels with specific information on the chemical label. In addition, all chemicals require a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and a SDS must be accessible to employees for ALL of the chemicals in a facility. In order to effectively interpret a SDS and chemical label, you must understand several things: Terminology associated with chemicals Health and physical hazards of chemicals Characteristics of various chemicals Rules to apply when working with and around chemicals. In order to be safe when working with or around hazardous chemicals there are a few things that you need to know and that your employer needs to provide. You need to know exactly what chemicals you are working with and around and the potential hazards of those chemicals. You need to know how to prevent accidents from occurring, but also what to do if an accident does occurs. Your employer must provide easy access to information about the chemicals in the facility and provide you with the training necessary for you to effectively interpret and apply that information. Learning Module Objectives Describe at least five characteristics of chemicals that are physical hazards. Describe at last five characteristics of chemicals that are considered health hazards. Match the physical and health hazards to their warning symbols. Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 3 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

7 OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Facts OSHA FACTS 1 Over 30 million Americans work with chemicals. Approximately 650,000 chemicals are in the workplace today and this number is constantly increasing. Exposure to certain chemicals may cause or contribute to health problems. Many chemicals present safety hazards from fire and explosions. OSHA Statistics - Worker Injuries/Illnesses/Fatalities million injuries and illnesses among private sector firms in 2013 (down from 4.4 million in 2003) 30 percent of work-related injuries occurred in goods-producing industries 70 percent of work-related injuries occurred in service industries workers died in 2013, down from 5,488 worker deaths in 2007 OSHA Hazardous Communications Standard OSHA Hazardous Communications Standard (29 CFR ). The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) defines a hazardous chemical as any chemical which is a physical hazard or health hazard. OSHA s Hazard Communications Standard guarantees all employees the right to know the dangers of the hazardous chemicals they work with and requires that all employees be trained to protect themselves and their coworkers against these dangers. Training for All Employees Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 4 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

8 Standard Requirements The Hazardous Communications Standard guarantees an employee s "right to know" and mandates training for all employees. It requires employers to provide employees with the following: List of all chemicals in the workplace Hazard evaluation by the manufacturer Product warning label system Accessible SDS s for all chemicals Written hazard communications program Training program Procedures to maintain and evaluate the program Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 5 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

9 HazMat I The following information and the information in HazMat II will help you better understand the information and the terminology that you find on chemical labels and in SDSs. Physical Forms of Chemicals Chemicals can be in any of these forms: Liquids Solids Gases Vapors Fumes Mists Fibers Dust Some chemicals are generated in the workplace through daily operations. Examples of such chemicals include the following: Welding fumes Dusts Exhaust fumes Process by-products What are two chemicals that are generated in a microtechnology fabrication facility? Atmospheric Hazards Atmospheric hazards include fumes, gases, dusts, and mists. In many cases, these hazards are toxic or corrosive, or can be created by the mixing of two normally non-volatile products. For example, Hydrochloric gas is produced when water is used to clean machine parts that have been exposed to a chlorinated by-product. In addition, the fumes of some solvents are highly flammable. What are two other atmospheric hazards that one might find in a manufacturing environment? Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 6 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

10 Physical vs. Health Hazards Chemicals exhibit various characteristics. These characteristics are used to help identify the physical and health hazard of a chemical. Physical hazards are associated with any chemical that produces a violent change when subjected to external factors such as heat, vibration, or oxygen, or in some cases, standard temperature and pressure (0 C and 100 kpa (1 bar)). Flammables, explosives, and radioactive chemicals produce a violent change under certain conditions. Health Hazards are associated with any chemical that, under certain conditions, produces acute or chronic health effects to humans through exposure. Carcinogens, poisons, and irritants all carry warnings of potentials health hazards. (SCME Hazardous Materials II discusses health hazards of chemicals.) Physical Hazards of Chemicals Physical hazards are associated with any of the following chemical characteristics: Combustible Generally, any liquid or solid that will burn. OSHA defines a combustible as any liquid that burns when heated to 100 degrees F (37.8 C) or higher. Explosive - Substance that explodes if heated or subjected to an electric spark. An explosive can release dangerous gases and continue to feed a fire. Flammable - Substance that can easily be set on fire and once set, continues to fuel the fire. A liquid, as well as its vapor, can be flammable. Oxidizer - Chemical that reacts with oxygen. This reaction aids in maintaining a fire once started. Peroxide - Substance that is unstable, releases oxygen when heated, and is a powerful oxidizing agent. Peroxides may be formed directly by the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen. Pyrophoric - Substance that can be spontaneously ignited in air. Radioactive - Chemical that emits radiation due to a chemical reaction. Reactivity - The relative capacity of a chemical to combine chemically or react with another substance. Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 7 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

11 Question Which of the following chemical characteristics is NOT considered a physical hazard? 1. Oxidizer 2. Explosive 3. Carcinogen 4. Flammable Physical Hazard Warnings These are universal symbols that are used to quickly warn of potential physical hazards. These symbols can be found on chemical labels, compressed gas bottles, facility doors, chemical storage units, and on any object that contains a hazardous material. It is important that you become familiar with these symbols so that you can recognize them immediately. What physical hazard is represented by this symbol? What physical hazard is represented by this symbol? Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 8 of 10 Saf_HazMat_PK10_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials I

12 Summary In order to understand the information presented in SDS s and on chemical labels, one must know and understand the terminology associated with hazardous materials and hazard warnings associated with chemicals. To learn about the Health Hazards of chemicals, read the next unit Hazardous Materials II. Short Activity for Hazardous Materials I The differences between certain physical hazards can be confusing. For example, can you quickly state the differences between a combustible and an explosive? To help identify the characteristics that establish a chemical as a specific physical hazard in a fashion that YOU understand, complete the following assignment. Develop a system (e.g., chart, table, graphic) that will allow you to distinguish between combustibles, flammables, explosive, oxidizers, and pyrophorics.

17 So how does someone become exposed to a chemical? There are three routes of exposure to a chemical: Inhalation - breathing through mouth or nose Ingestion - eating, swallowing Absorption - absorbing through the skin There are two types of exposure: Acute - one time exposure, immediate or delayed effects Chronic - frequent exposures over a period of time Health Effects of Chemicals Certain chemical characteristics can have a mild to serious health effects on humans. Such chemicals include flammables, corrosives, oxidizers and poisons. Corrosives Can cause severe and painful skin burns Burn the eyes and can cause blindness If inhaled, can burn the nose and lungs Flammables Dry the skin by removing body oils Irritate the eyes If inhaled in relatively high concentration, can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and unconsciousness Oxidizer Can cause severe and painful skin burns Burn the eyes and can cause blindness If inhaled, can burn the nose and lungs Poison Can be absorbed into the body through contact with the skin Very irritating to the eyes If inhaled in relatively large amounts, can cause internal damage or even death Southwest Center for Microsystem Education (SCME) Page 4 of 8 Saf_HazMat_PK12_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials II

18 Matching Activity Match the following components with their functions. Components Function 1 Acute A swallowing 2 Ingesting B Painful burns 3 Corrosives C Immediate effect 4 Poison D Enters through the nose 5 Chronic E Long term effect 6 Inhaling F Can enter through the skin Table 2: Components and Functions Review Question A person develops cancer due to asbestos exposure. Is this chronic or acute exposure? Chemical Toxicity A material is considered toxic or poisonous when a small amount causes harmful effects to a normal, healthy human. However, almost all materials can produce harmful effects when exposed in excessive amounts. Toxicity is the effect a chemical has on one s health under certain concentrations and exposure times. A chemical's toxicity level depends on the duration of exposure and the chemical's concentration. The differentiation between a toxic substance or poison and any non-toxic substance is the dose. Dose is the amount of material to which an organism is exposed. The greater the dose, the greater effect the exposure can have on your body. Chemicals that are considered to be toxins or poisons produce harmful effects at relatively low dosages. Southwest Center for Microsystem Education (SCME) Page 5 of 8 Saf_HazMat_PK12_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials II

19 The effect on humans from the same dosage or the same exposure differs from one person to another. There are many variables in determining the effect a particular chemical will have on a human: Race Variation in response among a people of the same race Gender Age Physiological conditioning State of health Medications, drugs, alcohol Heredity Synergistic effect Physical state of the chemical o gases are inhaled rapidly o solids are absorb slowly Review Questions What is an example of "different dosages" of the same chemical having "different effects" on the body? What is an example that you have experienced in which two people had different effects from the same chemical and exposure? Measuring Toxicity The two common indicators for a chemical's toxicity are PEL and TLV. Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) These indicators are set by Federal regulation (OSHA) for the maximum permissible concentration of a particular chemical to which one should be exposed without adverse effects. The duration of exposure and concentration of the chemical are considered in determining the PEL. Threshold Limit Value (TLV) This is the airborne concentration of a substance that represents conditions under which nearly all workers may be exposed day after day with no adverse effect. TLV's are advisory exposure guidelines, not legal standards. They are based on evidence from industrial experience, animal studies, or human studies when they exist. TLV's are revised yearly by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists'. Southwest Center for Microsystem Education (SCME) Page 6 of 8 Saf_HazMat_PK12_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials II

20 Matching Activity Match the following terms with their meanings. Term Meaning 1 Toxicity A Maximum permissible duration and concentration 2 Dose B Determined by duration of exposure and concentration 3 PEL C Permissible airborne concentration day after day 4 TLV D The amount of exposure Table 3: Terms and Their Meanings Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Personal protective equipment (PPE) protects the worker from chemical, physical and biological hazards that may be encountered in the workplace. Special PPE is available for protection of the following: Respiratory system Several types of respirators protect from hazardous vapors / fumes and particles Hands A variety of different types of gloves protect from skin absorption of harmful substances, severe cuts or lacerations, severe abrasions, punctures, chemical burns, thermal burns, and harmful temperature extremes Eyes and face Safety glasses, goggles, face shields protect from flying particles, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation Feet Special footwear protects from falling objects or chemical spills Body Aprons, smocks protect from acid or caustic chemical spills or splashes Southwest Center for Microsystem Education (SCME) Page 7 of 8 Saf_HazMat_PK12_PG_Mar2017.docx Hazardous Materials II

21 Summary In order to understand the information presented in MSDS s and on chemical labels, one must know and understand the terminology associated with hazardous materials.
