Martinez, Executive Director DATE: December 6, 1994 SUBJECT: HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT the proposed Hazard Communication Program required by CAL OSHA, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: CAL OSHA requires that, in order to provide employees with a safe working environment, a Hazard Communication Program must be implemented and maintained. For a number of years, the Housing Authority has required Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from its suppliers and these sheets have been made available at each maintenace location, however, no definitive program is currently in place. The attached program is designed to mitigate employee exposure to hazardous chemical substances. All of these hazardous substances are industrial-oriented chemicals used by maintenance personnel . Only three MSDS sheets are attached tq. the Hazard Communication- Program, as the Housing Authority's Risk Management Committee has been working for the past year to eliminate the use of hazardous substances by Housing Authority maintenance personnel . IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Should the Board of Commissioners elect to not adopt this Hazard Communication Program, the Housing Authority would not be in compliance with OSHA requirements.

Box 2759 • Martinez, California 94553 Central Administration • (510)372-0791 • FAX(510)372-0236 HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM Our Hazard Communication Program is an important part of management's desire to provide employees with a safe working environment. This program is designed to mitigate exposures to employees to hazardous chemical substances. Most of these hazardous substances by definition are industrial-oriented chemicals, mainly used by maintenance personnel. Substances that do not come under the labeling requirements of this program are listed under the heading, Exceptions, at the end of this Program. Hazardous Substance Definition: Any substance which is a physical hazard or a health hazard or is included in the List of Hazardous Substances prepared by the Director pursuant to Labor Code section 6382. Health Hazard Definition: A substance for which there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees. Physical Hazard Definition: A substance for which there is scientifically valid evidence that it is a combustible liquid, a compressed gas, explosive, flammable, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer, pyrophoric, unstable (reactive) or water-reactive. Responsible Person: Frank Sorisio, Housing Technical Officer Our Responsible Person is responsible for the implementation and maintenance of our Hazard Communication Program (HazCom). Responsibilities include: 1. Coordination of HazCom with all departments to ensure that every facet of the program is properly handled. 2. Coordination to ensure that all employees are adequately trained on their "right-to-know," the specific hazardous substances with which they have to work, and the communication of potential hazards of non-routine tasks. 3. Compliance with the acquisition and maintenance of Material Safety Data Sheets. 4. Implementation of labelling procedures. 5. Communication of HazCom information to outside contractors. Hazard Determination We rely on the manufacturers' hazard determination as indicated by the information given in their Material Safety Data Sheets. Hazardous Substances Inventory We have compiled and will continue to maintain an inventory of all hazardous substances used in our facilities. Each department has a current inventory and Material Safety Data Sheets that relate to the inventory for the specific department. -2- Labels and Warnings We ensure that all hazardous chemicals in the facility are properly labeled and updated as necessary. Labels are required to have the following information: • Chemical identify • Appropriate hazard warning • Name and address of the manufacturer, importer or other responsible party Management will refer to the corresponding MSDS to assist employees in verifying label information. Whenever an employee transfers chemicals from a labeled container to a portable container, it is necessary to label the new container with the chemical or common name (whichever is used on the list of hazardous substances and the MSDS) and appropriate warnings including protective measures to be taken when using the chemical. Training o All employees working with, or who are potentially exposed to, hazardous chemicals receive initial training on the HazCom standard and the safe use of hazardous substances during their new employee orientation. When a new hazardous substance is introduced, additional training is provided at that time prior to employees working with the new substance. -3- In general, training includes the following information: 1. Summary of the HazCom standard to include employee right-to-know information. According to Section 5194(h)(2)(G), "employees have the right: a. To personally receive information regarding hazardous substances to which they are exposed. b. For their physician or collective bargaining agent to receive information regarding hazardous substances to which the employee may be exposed. C. Against discharge or other discrimination due to the employee's exercise of the rights afforded pursuant to the provisions of the Hazardous Substances Information and Training Act." 2. Review of any operations in the employee's work area where hazardous substances are present or used. 3. Location and availability of the written hazard communication program including the list(s) of hazardous substances and Material Safety Data Sheets. 4. How to read labels and MSDSs. 5. Labeling requirements. 6. Chemical and physical properties of the hazardous materials. 7. Methods that can be used to detect the presence or release of these chemicals (such as monitoring conducted, continuous monitoring, visual appearance or odor of hazardous substances when being released, etc.) 8. Physical hazards of chemicals(potential for fire, etc.) 9. Health hazards, including signs and symptoms of exposure associated with exposure to the chemicals and any medical condition known to be aggravated by exposure. 10. Procedures to protect against hazards; personal protective equipment required and proper use of this equipment; work practices and procedures for emergency response. -4- We annually review the training program. Department Heads are asked for their recommendations and their employees' input for improving the training program's contents. An annual refresher course is given to all employees who are directly or indirectly involved in the use of hazardous substances. Employees are retrained on a given hazardous substance whenever a new MSDS is received and the new MSDS indicates significantly increased risks to, or measures necessary to protect, employee health as compared to those stated on the previously provided MSDS. Such training is conducted within 30 days of receipt Of the new MSDS. All training is fully documented and maintained for three years. Non-Routine Tasks If an employee is asked to perform a task that he or she normally does not perform and the use of a hazardous substance is part of that task, we train the employee on the specifics of that chemical prior to the commencement of work. Such training includes the specific chemical training as discussed above under Training. Contractors We ensure that contractors or vendors are knowledgeable of the hazards of substances that they may encounter in the normal course of their work. This communication includes being informed of our labeling system, protective measures, safe handling, and emergency actions to be taken in the event of an exposure. This communication is given to the contractor or vendor in written form and the contractor or vendor signs that he/she has received this documentation. -5- In addition,prior to a contractor or vendor bringing chemicals on site, the contractor or vendor must provide our management with the appropriate hazard information regarding these substances, including the labels used and the precautionary measures to be taken in working with these chemicals. Additional Information Managers, supervisors and employees may obtain further information regarding chemicals used from their supervisors. - Exceptions The standards do not require labeling of the following substances under the Hazard Communication Program because these substances fall under other regulations: 1. Pesticides when subject to the labeling requirements issued under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (EPA). 2. Foods, food additives, color additives, drugs or cosmetics that come under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act labeling requirements. 3. Any distilled spirits that are subject to the labeling requirements of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. 4. Any consumer product or hazardoussubstance defined by the Consumer Product Safety Act and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act when they are subject to the labeling requirements of those acts. -6- US/ j_ MEMORANDUM NOR Date. 8-17-93 To: FRANK SORISIO, SAFETY COORDINATOR From:' BILL COLE AND -CURT I S GARRET Subject: C}{Ej ftALS:-RECOMMENDED.1 FOR USEli JAN I TOR I AL: BTC-401 DEGREASER (ROCHESTER M I DLAND) SUPER STRIP (ROCHESTER MIDLAND) D-GERM TOILET CLEANER (OXFORD) PREST I EGE FLOOR WAX (ROCHESTER MI I DLAND) PROVED OVEN CLEANER (OXFORD) COMET CLEANSER PINESOL DISINFECTANT MOLD MASTER (ROCHESTER MIDLAND) SEE THRU WINDOW CLEANER (ROCHESTER MIDLAND) MARVELOUS CARPET CLEANER (COLE SUPPLY) SHIELA SHINE FOR STAINLESS STEEL (COLE SUPPLY) INSECTICIDE: ENFORCER ROACH RIDD POWDER, BORIC ACID (ACE) EXTERMO LIQUID, EXTERIOR BUILDING ONLY (ROCHESTER MIDLAND) DIAZINON AG500, BUSHES, TREES AND PLANTS, 125 INSECT FOGGER (ROCHESTER MIDLAND) HERBICIDE: ROUND UP (MONSANTO) PAINT: PAINT THINNER (FOR OIL BASE) PAINT (SUBJECT TO CHANGE) UUARE-8:00—b:00 E13T MON I.-RI CON EMERGENCY PHONE NO.
