Supervisors will ensure all containers of hazardous materials received for use are clearly. <br />labelled according to the regulated requirements of Hazcom 2012 (GHS). This includes the <br />name of the material (Trade Name or chemical name), hazard pictogram(s), signal word, hazard <br />statements, precautionary statements, and the manufacturer or distributors name address and <br />emergency contact information. <br />When the contents of large containers are broken down into smaller or secondary containers <br />for in-house use Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service will ensure that the label shows the <br />chemical identity and appropriate warnings as required by OSHA. The supervisors in each work <br />area will ensure that all secondary containers are properly labeled. <br />The <br />company will establish an SDS program to <br />collect, manage, monitor and update SDSs and <br />the <br />SDSs library <br />as required. No container will <br />be released for use until the SDS is received and <br />the <br />information <br />verified. <br />Supervisors must first obtain approval from the company for all new hazardous chemicals to be <br />used by employees. <br />If Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service has a hazardous material on site but is unable to <br />contact the distributor we will access the information on line at www.msds.com or <br />www.msdssearch.com <br />Supervisors will ensure that the SDSs are conveniently located close to the work area where the <br />hazardous materials are used. <br />Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service employees and independent contractors shall be <br />allowed to review the inventory and obtain information from the SDS at any time during their <br />work shift. Supervisors shall be responsible to ensure the inventory is available at all times. <br />Failure of a subcontractor to submit a SDS in the proper format prior to their mobilization on a <br />project will result in a $500 penalty and will pay any additional penalty that maybe incurred by <br />any regulatory agency. <br />Respiratory Protection Plan <br />Respiratory protection is not an anticipated need. However, this plan will apply to all <br />employees who may be required to wear a respirator to perform assigned duties at this jobsite. <br />In addition, any who voluntarily wears a respirator when one is not required is subject to the <br />medical evaluation, cleaning, maintenance, and storage elements of this program, and will be <br />provided with necessary training. Employees who voluntarily wear filtering face pieces (dust <br />masks) are not subject to the medical evaluation, cleaning, storage, and maintenance <br />provisions of this program. <br />21 <br />
