18.2 Objective
This standard is meant to prevent injuries, service quality and HSE incidents,
environmental incidents, and equipment losses when handling hazardous
materials.
18.3 Scope
This standard identifies the procedures for chemical product management,
chemical hazard communication (HAZCOM), material handling, including
purchase and inventory, and the use or sale of approved Well Services chemical
products at all Well Services and OneStim locations.
This standard does not define complete HAZCOM training because of the wide
variety of special requirements in different countries and government agencies.
In some locations, Well Services and OneStim must develop additional training
programs to comply with local regulations.

18-6 WS QHSE Standard 18 / Chemical Product Management 18-6
Eyes can be damaged by most chemicals. Chemicals can enter your eyes
from splashed liquid, dust, or fumes, or by wiping your face. As a minimum,
the eye protection specified in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) must be worn
when handling any chemical.
• Through the mouth
When handling chemicals, always wash your hands before smoking or
eating. Do not eat or drink anything in the vicinity of chemicals.
• Inhalation
This is a very dangerous form of exposure. Vapors or dust can easily enter
the lungs.
• Through the skin
WS InTouch Manager\\InTouch ID# 3313694\4.5\Release Date:09-Mar-2020\EDMS UID: 0000079558\Produced: 09-Mar-2020 17:12:58
• For activity such as loading and unloading sealed drums, totes, etc. where
there is no requirement to open the chemical container, normal PPE as
required by the location is mandatory, and use of additional PPE is not
required unless identified during the assessment. An example is for moving
drums from truck to warehouse, etc.
• For any activity which requires a container to be opened, a connection made,
contents transferred from one container to another, or transferring a fluid from
one tank into another tank containing the exact same fluid, use of PPE as
required by the SDS is mandatory. This includes all items as detailed in the
SDS. Examples of these activities include opening a drum to take a sample
or hooking a hose onto a tote tank.
• For any activity which requires one substance to be added to another
substance, including to water, perform a C-HARC of the resulting chemical
formulation. This formulation shall determine the final PPE requirement
for that operation. The SDS covering the raw materials does not take into

account any mixing, therefore additional hazards can arise for which the
PPE for the raw materials is not sufficient or appropriate. The assessment
must include the following information:
– The hazardous properties of the substances being mixed
– The chemical reaction as each substance is added to the mixture
– The hazardous nature at each addition, such as vapors, temperature,
dust, etc.
– How the substance may be hazardous to the workers
– What the expected exposure level might be and how this relates to the
relevant exposure limits

– What PPE is required during the mixing and pumping sequence for all
employees.
• Where PPE is determined as necessary then the times for wearing it shall be
listed. For example, if and when PPE is required for the mixing of substances
then it shall also be required for those working with the fluids during transfer
and pumping operations, and for personnel in the vicinity where a spill or
leak could reasonably be expected
• All assessments must document the minimum PPE requirements for cleanup
in the event of a spill.

Note
If the job you are performing puts you in contact or potential contact with
chemicals, or the vapor, dust, or mist from chemicals, you MUST wear the PPE
indicated on the label/SDS.
WS InTouch Manager\\InTouch ID# 3313694\4.5\Release Date:09-Mar-2020\EDMS UID: 0000079558\Produced: 09-Mar-2020 17:12:58
Before handling a chemical, read the label completely and take the necessary
precautions to protect yourself from injury or illness. For answers to most
questions, refer to the SDS or see your supervisor.
Always use or wear all required PPE when opening any chemical container.
Slowly loosen the plug or container cap to release pressure, and keep your face
as far away as possible from the cap or plug.
Never put your head inside a storage tank unless you are wearing an SCBA or
other breathing apparatus. If it is necessary to look inside a tank, do not keep
your face over the opening longer than necessary.
For tank entry, follow the procedures in Well Services QHSE Standard 12:
Permit to Work, InTouch ID# 3313688.
Never use a fire or an open flame to heat chemicals, and make sure there is
adequate ventilation. Use only electrical strip heaters, forced air heaters, or
steam heaters. Loosen plugs and container caps to prevent a pressure increase
inside the container.
Never allow acids to come in contact with galvanized (zinc coated) materials.
Galvanized drum plugs and pipes are not permitted when working with acids
because an explosion can occur when acid and zinc come in contact.

When using corrosive chemicals or flammable liquids on the job, follow the
minimum safe procedures, which includes flushing all lines with water before
disconnecting the equipment at the end of the job.
Procedures must be defined on any job where two reactive mixtures follow each
other in the delivery or pumping system. This situation can occur through dry
additive feeder kits or in the connection between the precision continuous mixer
(PCM) and the blender. Job procedures must define the process of flushing
through the system to separate these reactive mixtures.
handled.
Chemical transfer hoses must meet the requirements stated in the Chemical
transfer hoses section of Well Services QHSE Standard 4: Equipment, InTouch
ID# 3313678.
If your work clothes become wet with chemicals, remove the clothes immediately
and, if the chemicals have touched the skin, rinse the affected area with water.
Work clothes stained with chemicals must be properly washed before they can
be worn again, but DO NOT wash contaminated work clothes at your home.
The pant cuffs of work clothes must always be worn outside and over the work
boots or chemical boots to prevent chemicals from entering the boots and
causing a chemical burn to feet.
A chemical container can be reused, but only to store the same type of product
that was originally in the container.
Only use safety knives or knives with locked and protected blades to open sacks.

Always wear chemical goggles when handling chemicals, when using the batch
blender, when coupling or uncoupling hoses, or when opening tanks or other
containers. Never use low pressure suction hoses as bulk discharge lines.
Protection from silica dust shall follow the requirements of the “Respiratory
protection” section of Well Services and OneStim Standard 13: PPE, InTouch
ID# 6291367.
Never look in the end of a line or hose on any bulk system without ensuring that
there is no pressure in the line. When connecting a bulk system on a job site,
keep the delivery lines or hoses as short as possible to decrease the amount of
dust generated, and prevent the formation of blockages.
WS InTouch Manager\\InTouch ID# 3313694\4.5\Release Date:09-Mar-2020\EDMS UID: 0000079558\Produced: 09-Mar-2020 17:12:58
Mark all tanks with their contents and mark all lines to show their function, such
as vent, fill, etc.
Never allow anyone on or directly under bulk tanks when the tanks are under
pressure.
Never permit any vessel, tank, pipe, connection, union, or hatch to be connected,
disconnected, tightened, or worked on while the equipment is under pressure.
When operating a bulk system, monitor the pressure gauge on each tank, but do
not rely solely on the air-compressor unloader system to maintain the correct
pressure.
Wear the correct type of PPE when handling any hazardous material, and always
wear chemical goggles in any area where chemicals are handled.
When unloading pressurized tank cars or acid storage tanks, do not exceed the
rated working pressure of the tank, and use a regulator and relief valve. Drums
or other non-pressurized chemical containers must NEVER be unloaded using
air pressure.
All tanks must be marked with their contents, and lines must be marked to show
their function, such as vent, fill, etc.
