Hazard Communication
How do hazardous chemicals affect the body?
The effect a certain chemical has on the body depends on several factors:
• The physical form of the chemical • How the chemical enters the body • The amount of chemical that actually enters the body - the dose • How toxic (poisonous) the chemical is
16
![Page 17: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How Chemicals Enter the Body
There Are Three Routes of Entry:
• Ingestion – swallowing the chemical
• Inhalation – breathing in the chemical • Absorption – the chemical soaks through the skin
17
![Page 18: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Safe Use • Read the product labels • Hazardous products must be handled with respect! Read labels and follow
directions carefully. Words to look for: DANGER - WARNING - CAUTION
• Poison: can injure or kill if absorbed through the skin, ingested or inhaled. • Toxic: can cause injury or death if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed
through the skin. • Irritant: causes soreness or swelling of skin, eyes, mucous membranes, or
respiratory system. • Flammable: easily catches fire and tends to burn rapidly. • Flammable Liquid: has a flash point below 140°F (100°F for US DOT
purposes). • Combustible Liquid: has a flash point from 140°F (100°F for US DOT
purposes) to 200°F • Corrosive: a chemical or its vapors that can cause a material or living
tissue to be destroyed.

• Material Safety Data Sheets
Renamed Safety Data Sheet’s After 2013

How to Prevent Electrical Injuries
Also Avoid the following
Safety Tips
• Never carry a tool, appliance or device by the
cord.
• Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the
receptacle.
• Keep cords away from heat, oil, and sharp edges
• Disconnect items when not in use, toasters, hot
plates, coffee pots, vacuums, steam cleaners, etc.
21
![Page 22: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Take great care not to overload extension cords, power strips or outlets and do not connect multiple extension cords together.
22
![Page 23: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cord damage A cord may be damaged by door or window edges, by staples and fastenings, by abrasion from adjacent materials, or simply by aging. If the electrical conductors become exposed, there is a danger of shocks, burns, or fire.
Strain Straining a cord can cause the strands of one conductor to loosen from under terminal screws and touch another conductor.
Ground pin Removing the ground pin from a plug to fit an ungrounded outlet
23
Many shocks and fires are caused by damaged cords
![Page 24: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How we hurt our backs
• Lifting heavy items.
• Pushing or pulling heavy items.
• Taking objects from shelves.
• Picking items off of floor or ground
• Repetitive motions such as vacuuming, wiping, scanning, or key boarding.
• Twisting or turning while lifting or carrying objects
24
![Page 25: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Safe Lifting
• Do “toe test” to determine how heavy an object is.
• Hold Load Close to Body.
• Break Loads Down to Manageable Size.
• The body should never be turned or twisted while under the stress of heavy weight.
• Do the actual lifting with your legs only.
• Get Help!!!
25

Preventing Back Injuries
DO
• Get help or use a cart to move heavy items
• Take shorter, more frequent breaks when doing repetitive motion tasks
• Rotate jobs to avoid overusing the same body parts for long periods
Don’t
• Twist body when lifting or carrying objects
• Push or pull heavy objects by yourself
• Heave heavy objects such as trash bags into the dumpster

Slips, trips and falls
About 50% of reported slips in NEWESD 101 Schools are from snow or ice.
These frequently happen when getting out of vehicle or walking across the parking lot.
Biggest factors include: unaware of ice, footwear without adequate traction, and walking too fast.
27
![Page 28: New Employee Safety Orientation - evhs.net](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042013/6255b2c19b91134e992a8253/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Reducing injuries
• Wear appropriate footwear for conditions.
• Wear traction cleats if ice is anticipated.
• Walk slowly and deliberately – don’t rush!
• Keep hands free for balance and to catch yourself.
• Lean slightly forward when you walk. Less chance of serious injury if you don’t fall on your back.
• Report unsafe conditions immediately!
