Safety Guidelines

Facility Safety: It is the duty of the safety officer, facility engineering and others to provide the safest environment for employees. This is done by a host of equipment and devices. Here are a few: Hoods and air filtration systems around chemical & hazardous processes. Guards and safety signs around equipment. Fire extinguishers, first aid stations, eye & shower wash stations. Emergency evacuation plan with lighted exit signs, horns & strobes for the hearing impaired. Testing and evaluation of facility safety engineering. MSDS & HMIS labeling.			Safety Training & Plans: Designing plans and training programs need to be signed off by the management, facility maintenance, engineering and safety officer. Safety Training: Includes but not limited to PPE, HMIS, MSDS, Confined Space Permit and other applicable specialized training. Employee Safety Manual. Hazardous Spill & Cleanup Plan: With procedures and contact information. Emergency Evacuation Plan: With procedures and contacts information. Employee physicals & baseline chemical testing. OSHA Required safety training for chemical handling & hazardous material handling. DOT Required training for chemical & hazardous material transportation. MSHA Required safety training for mining operations.



PPE Procedures: These are procedures used in the care and use of safety equipment. Equipment cleaning station. Equipment maintenance & testing area. Proper PPE storage areas. Hygiene sampling & chemical exposure - evaluation. Respirator type to the chemical hazard exposure - evaluation. General PPE - evaluation. Respirator and other PPE ratings. Decontamination procedures for equipment & personnel.			OSHA Exposure Levels: Level A - To be selected when the greatest level of skin, respiratory, and eye protection is required. Level B - The highest level of respiratory protection is necessary but a lesser level of skin protection is needed. Level C - The concentration(s) and type(s) of airborne substance(s) is known and the criteria for using air purifying respirators are met. Level D - A work uniform affording minimal protection: used for nuisance contamination only. OSHA Exposure Level A, B, C & D Guidelines These safety guides and resources are to help the safety professional in making his or her job easier and are provided to help you make an informed decision for your safety purchases. These are some, but by no means all of the considerations needed for any organization. ultimate responsibility for the safety of your organization falls to the safety officer, facility engineering & maintenance, and finally management working together as a team.
