Procedure-Safe handling and storage of hazardous materials

General Rules

1. Follow all established procedures and perform job duties as trained.

2. Make sure materials are stored in appropriate containers, and that all containers are
labelled properly. Do not use any chemical that is not labelled.

3. Read the label and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before using any material to make sure
you understand the hazard and what precautions need taken.

4. Always use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Equipment should be


inspected carefully before each use and should be stored correctly to ensure it works
properly.

5. Use all materials solely for their intended purposes.

6. Always wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling hazardous material. Work
areas should also be kept clean, so contamination risks are minimized.

7. Access to hazardous material should be limited to authorized employees only. Gate


systems, general employee training, and materials sign-in/sign-out sheets are good
methods to limit access.

8. Educate all employees on locations of hazardous materials and encourage them to


report any suspicious activity.

9. Keep emergency eyewash and shower stations clean. Routine tests should be conducted
to ensure equipment is working properly.

10. Establish a relationship with local first responders. This will save time in case of an
emergency. When first responders know what is on site and where it is located, they can
quickly make decisions on how to approach rescue situations.
