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 company will establish an SDS program to collect, manage, monitor and update SDSs and <br /> the SDSs library as required. No container will be released for use until the SDS is received and <br /> the information 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 may be 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 />
