Chemical

Handling Seminar
NPC Alliance Corporation
October 3, 2008
Objective
 To identify the hazard attributed by the
chemicals found in the plant
 To use the appropriate PPE in
handling these chemicals
 To know the potential health effects of
each chemicals
 To know the applicable first aid
measures in case of accidents
5 things that can make a
material hazardous:
 Flammable/Ignitable:
Any substance that can be easily
set on fire. Flammable liquids have
a flash point of less than 100
degrees F. Ignitables have a flash
point of less than 140 degrees F,
The flash point is the minimum
temperature at which a liquid or
solid gives off sufficient vapors to
form an ignitable mixture of
vapor/air near the surface of the
substance. Any source of spark,
flame or heat could ignite this
mixture in a flash fire.
Examples include gasoline, paint
strippers or thinners, furniture
polish, and some adhesives.
Hazard Identification:
 Toxic:
Any substance that can cause
injury or death through
ingestion, inhalation, or skin
absorption. Most products that
exhibit one of the other
characteristics are also toxic.
Examples of toxics include
pesticides, heavy metals,
corrosives and some solvents.
Hazard Identification
 Explosive/reactive:
Any substance that can cause
an explosion or violent reaction
when subjected to heat,
sudden shock, pressure or
contact with an incompatible
substance.
Examples include fireworks,
ammunition, and swimming
pool chemicals
Hazard Identification
 Corrosive:
Corrosives are substances that
can burn and destroy living
tissues and, when brought into
contact with metals, will begin
to dissolve them. If a
substance has a pH value of
less than or equal to 2.0, or
greater than 12.5, it is
considered corrosive.
Examples include some rust
removers, drain cleaners, oven
cleaners, and swimming pool
chemicals.
Hazard Identification
 Radioactive:
Any substance that can
damage the nuclei of cells,
interfering with cell
reproduction by changing the
genetic cell structure.
Examples of radioactive
household products include
ionizing smoke detectors
(Americium-241), gas lantern
mantles (Thorium), and static
eliminators (Polonium-210).

Ingestion

In case of fire:
The only safe way to extinguish a flammable gas fire is to stop the flow of gas. If the
flow cannot be stopped, allow the entire contents of the container to burn. Cool the
container and surroundings with water from a suitable distance.
In case of Spill:
Clean up consists of passing the entire gas volume of the enclosure through appropriate
exhaust gas treatment equipment (EGTE). Purge the enclosure with a non-reactive gas,
such as nitrogen. The primary consideration is flammability
