HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

1:47:02
 Definitions
• “Hazardous materials or substances” mean substances in solid, liquid or
gaseous forms known to constitute poison, fire, explosion or health hazard.
• “Corrosive” when referred to the action on inanimate surface such as metal,
glass or wood means that a substance will cause the wearing away, or the
gradual changing or destroying of the texture or substance of such materials.
• “Hot” means that a material or substance possesses or is characterized by a
relatively high temperature.
• “Gases” means normally aeroform fluid, which have neither shape nor specific
volume but tend to expand indefinitely and which can be changed to the liquid
or solid state by the effect of increased pressure or decreased temperature.
 Definitions
• “Fumes” means suspended solid particles, which are generated by
condensation from gaseous state, generally after volatilisations from
molten metals.
• “Vapor” means gaseous form of substances which are normally in the
liquid or solid state, and which can be changed to these states either
by increasing the pressure or decreasing the temperature.
• “Mists” means suspended liquid droplets generated by condensation
from the gaseous to the liquid state or by breaking up of a liquid into a
dispersed state, such as by atomizing, foaming or splashing.
 Definitions
• “Fibers” means any tough solid substance composed of thread-like tissue,
whether of mineral, vegetable or animal origin.
• “Dust” means solid particles capable of being blown about or suspended
in the air generated by handling, crushing, cutting, drilling, grinding, rapid
impact, spraying, detonations, or disintegration of inorganic or organic
materials and are of a composition similar to the substance or substances
from which derived.
• “Toxic” means acting or likely to act as a poison, or may chemically
produce injurious or deadly effect.
• ”Irritating” means causing undue sensitiveness of an organ or part of the
body.

GENERAL RULES
Reduction of Hazards
• When practicable, harmless substances
shall be substituted for hazardous
substances or the process shall be
revised to reduce worker exposure to the
hazards.
Control of Processes
1. Hazardous processes shall be carried on in separate rooms or building with a
minimum number workers equipped with suitable protective equipment
and trained thoroughly in safety prac- tices for daily operations and for
emergencies.
2. The process or operation shall be carried out in an air-tight enclosure to
prevent personal contact with the harmful substances and the escape of
dusts, fibers, fumes, gases, mists, or vapors into the air or room in which
persons work.
3. Where airtight enclosures or apparatus cannot be used, harmful dusts,
fibers, fumes, gases, mists, or vapors shall be removed at or near their point
or origin by means of fume chambers or suction hoods properly connected
to efficient exhaust system, and
4. Control by general ventilation to provide a continual inflow of fresh air to
keep the concentration of contaminants within safe limits.
Use of Personal Protective Equipment
1. Workers shall be provided with, and shall use
personal protective clothing and equipment in
accordance with the requirements of Rule
1080.
2. Personal protective equipment shall also be
used to supplement control methods when
such measures cannot adequately eliminate
the hazard or when other measures are not
possible.
 Marking of Containers
(1) Specific Labelling Requirements:
a. symbol of the relevant category of hazard of the substance contained;
categories of hazards shall be explosive, flammable, oxidizing, toxic,
corrosive and radioactive
b. trade name may be used in addition to the chemical name of the
substance;
c. a description of the principal risk or risks;
d. a statement of the necessary precautions to be taken; and
e. if necessary, a statement of the first-aid or other simple measures to be
taken in case of injury or emergency
 Marking of Containers
(2) Other Aspects of Labelling
a. Shape of labels - warning labels shall be in rectangular shapes;
b. size of symbols - the height of the danger symbol shall be in
relation to the size of the package or container upon which the
label will be placed.
c. text on the labels shall be adequate in sizes to be clear and
legible, and
d. in black on a white background.
 Marking of Containers
(3) Marking of Labels: All required markings shall be either
lithographed or press-printed or engraved upon a paper
label securely attached or applied to the outside surface of
the container. Receptacles of over 18.92 liters (5 gallons)
capacity may be marked with letters stencilled, stamped, or
uniformly printed not less than 2.54 cm. (1 in.) in height.
Marking shall not be defaced or obliterated by rain or other
weather elements.
 Marking of Containers
(4) Responsibility for Labelling:
a. The primary responsibility for the correct labelling of pack of packages and containers of hazardous
substances manufactured locally shall fall upon the manufacturers. For hazardous substances imported
from foreign countries for purposes of distribution and retail to local users, responsibility for correct
labelling of containers shall be the importer, distributor or retailer.
b. When hazardous substances in a factory undergo a series of distribution or repacking processes over
which the manufacturer has no contact, responsibility for labelling shall fall upon the distributors,
wholesalers or retailers.
c. The employer shall be responsible for labelling hazardous substances for use in his workplace other than
those supplied by manufacturers or distributors;
d. In case of transfer of hazardous substances from original containers to other containers, the employer
shall be responsible for the proper labelling and identification of such substances; and
e. Unlabelled hazardous substances received by the employer shall be properly labelled and identified by
him.
 Marking of Containers

(5) Samples of Labels:

 Marking of Containers
(6) Condensing of Labels: Where small containers present a problem in
labelling for lack of adequate space, the following shall be applied:
a. retain the symbol and the name of the product;
b. retain the statement of hazards;
c. consider omission of precautionary measures if they are clearly
indicated in the symbol and in the statement of hazards; and
d. include precautionary measures for any additional hazards, which
may be present because of the characteristic of the container, the
nature of its use, and the train- ing and experience of the user.
Testing of Atmosphere
