 PERSONAL PROTECTION

To manipulate all substances

Chemicals in the organization use overalls
goggles with side protection.
When there is a risk of splashing, a mask or
face shield should be used.

SAFETY STANDARD

Keep the protective element clean to avoid any type of infection.

Avoid scratches, as this could distort vision.
Ensure that they are comfortable, since the annoying protective element causes vision
to be difficult and generates accidents.
 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

 To handle flammable liquid substances, use

respiratory protection with a filter for organic
vapors.
 To handle toxic substances in solid state, use half-
mask respiratory protection with a dust and mist
filter.
 To handle corrosive substances, use respiratory
protection with a filter for acid gases.

SAFETY STANDARD

Identify possible contaminants in the atmosphere and have on hand the corresponding
Safety Data Sheets that specify, in addition to the general properties, the maximum
permissible levels in work areas.
Avoid wearing a mustache or beard, as this reduces or prevents the sealing of the
respiratory protection.
Wash your hands after use, remove the filters and wash the mask with mild soap and
dry it perfectly before storing it.
Constantly check the respirator and replace damaged parts. This must be done
by trained personnel to ensure the proper functioning of the equipment.
 HAND PROTECTION

 To handle all chemical substances in the

organization, use Nitrile gloves.

 During welding operations, use gloves

designed for this purpose.

 To transport gas cylinders, use cow or leather

gloves.

SAFETY STANDARD

Use whenever you are exposed to risk in the work area.

Inspect the gloves for discoloration, rips or tears. This review is especially necessary
when toxic products are used, since if the product is retained in a crack in the glove
material, it will continue to penetrate until it passes through.
Wash gloves immediately after use
Wash your hands after removing gloves.
Ensure gloves are personal.
Keep in their packaging, arrange them horizontally, ensuring that they are not
mistreated. In cool, dry places and away from any heat source.
Use in the hand for which they were designed, they should not be changed hands as this
produces undesirable stretching that reduces their properties.
 STORAGE

Chemical materials in the organization are stored

according to their nature, shape, volume,
dimensions, value, chemical, physical or
mechanical risks that they generate due to their
activity (delivery and output) and the special
environment required during

 TRANSPORT

Decree 1079 of 2015, in the articles belonging to section 2.2.1.7.8, extensively describes the
obligations of the main actors in the dangerous goods transport chain:

- Sender or owner.
- Recipient of the cargo.
- Transport organization.
- Vehicle driver.
- Owner or holder of the vehicle.

UNITED NATIONS IDENTIFICATION RHOMBUS

United Nations identification diamonds are a clear indication that a transport unit contains
hazardous chemicals that would not otherwise be immediately identified as such.
 The placement of these diamonds is mandatory legal compliance.
They must be located two meters away on the side of the transport unit, at a medium
height that allows them to be read.

 For tank trucks, trailers and semi-trailers, the signs must be fixed, and for other
transport units they will be removable.

 When substances with different dangerous characteristics are transported, the transport
unit must have an identification diamond for each class of dangerous material.

 The United Nations plate allows you to identify the dangerous chemical substance
being transported, regardless of the country from which it comes. This indicates the
United Nations Organization Number (UN Number) corresponding to said substance,
which is assigned by the Committee of Experts on the Transport of Hazardous
Chemical Substances of the United Nations Organization in order to facilitate the
identification of each of the substances.
 

 Every time a vehicle transporting chemical materials enters the organization, it must
be inspected:

- United Nations (UN) lettering on each side.

- The product emergency card.

- Spill control kit.

- Portable fire extinguishers both in the cabin and near the cargo (2, type ABC).

- Device for loading and unloading, and valve protector when they are cylinders.

- Compliance with road standards.

 CONDITIONS OF VEHICLES FOR TRANSPORTATION

Check that there are no product leaks from the discharge valve.
Don't forget to check the manhole gaskets and the hermetic seal of the lids, as well as
the condition of the seals.
To avoid implosion of the cistern, check that the relief valves are open when unloading
begins.
Take into account for the distribution of the load if the transported product is very
heavy and occupies a very low volume inside the tank for the closing or opening of the
curtain valves and thus prevent the internal wave of the product from causing
overturning.
The consolidation of cargo inside vans, bodies or flatbeds is the responsibility of the
cargo sender; However, it must be supervised and advised by the driver, since the
stability of the load unit depends on this accommodation.
The floor of the loading unit must be uniform throughout the surface, free of steps or
protrusions that could cut or dent flammable liquid containers.
 WASTE DISPOSAL

WASTE GENERATED BY THE ORGANIZATION

Safety standard
 Mark and demarcate the temporary storage site
for hazardous waste
 Identify the dangerous characteristics of each of
the waste or hazardous waste generated with the
United Nations diamonds and what is established
in Decree 1076 of 2015, articles belonging to
section 2.2.6.1.1
 Store and use the smallest quantities possible.
 Work with small containers in laboratory tests.
 Completely empty the packaging, these must be
eliminated or discarded once their contents have
been consumed.
 Collect any contaminating waste for proper
treatment and disposal.
 Use plastic pallets with collecting spaces to
recover the spilled product.
 MEASUREMENT OF INDICATORS

FOLLOW-UP

The results and indicators will be analyzed

ACCORDING TO YOUR LEARNINGS RELATED TO RISK ASSESSMENT,
REFLECT ON THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST METHODOLOGY TO EVALUATE

CHEMICAL RISKS?

A: In any case, the safety data sheet must allow the employer to determine if there are any
dangerous chemical agents present in the workplace and to evaluate the possible risks that
the use of such agents may pose for the health and safety of workers. . The information
contained in the safety data sheet is

WOULD IT BE BETTER TO EVALUATE TECHNOLOGICAL RISKS IN AN

EMERGENCY PLAN?

I think that the first phase of risk assessment is the identification of hazards. The main
objective of this phase is to identify all the chemical agents present in the workplace, to
subsequently evaluate the danger of each of them. This information is included in the
Safety Data Sheet
