I. Purpose
The main purpose of this procedure is to establish and implicate the health and safety
standard handling procedure of hazardous material in CHEMIX Company. An
additional purpose of the procedure is to comply OHSAS 18001, Occupational Health
and Safety Standard and ISO 14001, the criteria of Environment for an
Environment Management, regulations with codes of practice on CHEMIX hazard
materials management. This document provides a safe handling design procedure
process which is an important element of a CHEMIXs Safety Management
guidelines.

II. Scope

This procedure applies to manufacturers and suppliers of dangerous goods of


CHEMIX Company covered by OHSAS 18001 and ISO14001. It also applies to
occupiers of premises at which these dangerous goods are stored and handled in
CHEMIX storage. Additionally, it may be useful for health and safety representatives
(HSRs), employees and contractors

III. DEFINITIONS
COMBUSTIBLE: Any substance or material that is easily ignited at
temperatures of 100F or more, and/or burns with unusual rapidity.
DANGEROUS GOODS: Consist Dangerous Goods may be explosive,
compressed gases, flammable (liquids or solids), spontaneously combustible,
water-reactive, oxidizing, toxic, radioactive, corrosive or be dangerous due to
miscellaneous properties (e.g. harmful to the environment).
EXPLOSIVE: Any material or substance that has the capacity to burst forth
with great disruptive force.
FLAMMABLE: Any substance or material that is easily ignited at
temperatures less than 100F and/or burns with unusual rapidity.

HAZARDOUS PICTOGRAM: Graphical composition including a symbol


plus other graphical elements assigned to a hazard class or hazard category.
The diagram of hazardous pictogram can be seen in attachment II.
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE (IH): The Industrial Hygienist may be involved
with the assessment and control of physical, chemical, biological or
environmental hazards in the workplace or community that could cause injury
or disease
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS): Document that contains
critical information about a material, including physical data (such as melting
points, boiling points, flammability), reactivity data, details on toxicity, health
effects from exposure, first aid measures in case of exposure, PPE required,
and additional information on safe storage, handling, and disposal.
MANAGE: To handle, transport, store, recycle, treat, destroy or dispose of
hazardous materials.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): Equipment to protect
the worker for their health and safety when coming into contact with
hazardous materials/ waste. Examples include rubber gloves, eye protection,
rubber boots, aprons, filtered breathing masks or respirators
POISONOUS: Any material or substance that can be harmful to humans if
inhaled.
RISK: The probability or likelihood that a hazard, accident, incident or event
will cause harm in the given circumstances.
SHALL: Indicates that a statement is mandatory
SHOULD: Indicates a recommendation. If this recommendation is not
adopted then an equivalent or higher standard of health and safety shall be
provided by another method.
SITE MANAGER: Any person who has responsibility and control of a site or
work unit. This includes, but is not limited to Executive Directors, Regional
Directors, Directors and Principals.

IV. Classifying Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials classified according to their chemical and/or physical properties.


It assigned as to only one primary hazard classes. The list and hazardous classes and
divisions are:

Hazard Class 1: Explosives


o Explosive with mass explosion hazard
o Explosive with projection hazard
o Explosive with predominantly fire hazard
o Explosive with no significant blast hazard
o Very insensitive explosive; blasting agent
o Extremely insensitive detonating substance
Hazard Class 2: Gases
o Flammable gas
o Nonflammable, nonpoisonous, (nontoxic) compressed gas
o Gas poisonous by inhalation
Hazard Class 3: Flammable Liquids
Hazard Class 4: Flammable Solids and Reactive Solids/Liquids
o Flammable solid
o Spontaneously combustible material
o Dangerous when wet material
Hazard Class 5: Oxidizer Liquids
o Oxidizer
o Organic peroxide
Hazard Class 6: Poisonous (toxic) Materials and Infectious Substances
o Poisonous (toxic) material
o Infectious substance
Hazard Class 7: Radioactive
Hazard Class 8 : Corrosive
Hazard Class 9 : Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials

V. Remarks
The transportation of hazardous materials must involve the employees and
contractors. They have to recognize trailers/containers transporting hazardous
materials. The example can be seen in attachment II.
The gate personnel must take the following actions as trailer/container of hazardous
materials approaches the gatehouse, such as:
a. Look for placards;
b. Look for markings;
c. Check to see if internal billing indicates hazardous material;
d. Review the hard copy shipping papers for hazardous material entries; and/or
e. Ask the drayman if there are any hazardous materials in the shipment.

VII. Responsibilities and Actions on Safety stages of Handling Hazardous


1. Material Ordered
Hazardous Material must be ordered and received through designated hazardous
chemical officer

2. Material Labelled
The action of chemical labelled in this stage must be labeled with accepted right to
know label and approved with the form of hazard class chemical label

3. Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) Filled

MSDS should be filled by hazardous chemical officer, and a copy forwarded to


Environmental Health and Safety. This stage need the form of MSDS. The
following document can be seen in attachment I.

4. Material Delivered
Chemical is delivered to ordering party. Officer in HSR departments and Site/
line manager have to be responsible for this stage, starting from giving the
employee instruction, training for operation and transportation.
The protection personal equipment (PPE) is needed to loading/unloading the
hazardous materials onto of from vehicles and for hazardous material shipments.
The transportation for hazardous materials also must be labeling in their container.
However, not all the hazardous material could be transporting. They have
requirement and classification for the class of hazardous materials, showed in
attachment II.

5. Material Use

Chemical must remain labeled throughout use. As chemicals are transfer to new
containers for long-term storage, they must be labeled. Appropriate storage for
hazard class. A copy of the MSDS should be kept in the same room as the
chemical.

6. Material Waste

The chemical becomes a waste the second it is no longer needed or no longer


Title: Approved by: CEO

usable. At this point the chemical must be labeled as a waste and returned to the
hazardous chemical officer for storage in an approved satellite storage facility. It
must be put in the storage inventory.

7. Material Disposal

Chemical wastes are removed yearly or as needed by a properly certified


hazardous waste contractor. Before this occurs, provide EHS with the inventory at
our satellite storage facility. Once the chemical has been removed, the MSDS can
be removed but not before. This stage also need the form of hazardous waste
inventory or request for disposal. Example of disposal and waste are Old storage
tanks and other materials that are contaminated. It must be treated as hazardous
waste and should not be used for other purposes especially chemicals. Disposal of
the tank material must be through a licensed waste contractor
