1.Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that all risks associated with the storage, use and disposal
of chemicals within Al jaber workplaces are controlled and managed.
2.Scope
This procedure applies Al jaber workplaces including; site work, warehouse and regional offices. This
procedure covers chemicals only, such as hazardous substances, dangerous goods, scheduled poisons
or controlled substances. This procedure also applies to substances produced as by-products or
waste products of work/office processes not involving Hazardous Substances or Dangerous.
3.Responsibilities
Heads of Management Units shall:
Worker and Engineer shall:
Facilities & Services Group shall:
4.Chemical Approval process
1. First, obtain MSDS sheet for the new chemical or attach a copy of the old chemical’s MSDS
sheet for approval
2. Second, provide description of for wanting to use chemical.
3. Third, send approval form to OSH for review and also to the Assistant Director of the
employees who will be working with the new chemical.
4. Finally, the Assistant Director of the employees that use the chemical will insure that all the
necessary safety precautions are taken.
Collecting vast amounts of data regarding a material is not efficient. EHS must collect the right
data to make informed business decisions and drive performance.
Regulatory Data
Integrating a regulatory cross-reference platform, like AL-JABER Material Analysis Profiling System
(MAPS), automates material research by mapping chemicals to regulatory or custom lists at the
commencement of the review process. This cross-referenced data serves as a gate and provides
contextualized data for reviewers within the workflow.
Quantity Data
Quantity and threshold data support the integration of notification triggers to alert reviewers when
the arrival of a material onsite crosses a particular threshold. In addition, higher-risk materials can
have a distinct gate or evaluation flow.
Analytical Data
Analytics functionality delivers comprehensive corporate or facility oversight. The aggregation of

analytical reporting tools and chemical approval data over time provides insight to trends regarding
chemicals, manufacturers and associated hazards before they arrive onsite. This information enables
reviewers with a deeper look at material analysis and supports the classification of materials by risk.
5.Definitions
Hazardous substances are pure chemicals or chemical mixtures that are hazardous to
your health.
Dangerous goods are substances or articles that pose an immediate risk to people,
property or the environment (eg. flammable, toxic, corrosive).
Scheduled poisons - chemicals and pharmaceuticals that have special controls applied
to how they are packaged, labelled, dispensed and used to ensure the safety of the
community.
Hazardous area - a physical space where a flammable and/or explosive atmosphere is
present or may be expected to be present occasionally.
Ignition source - any source of energy sufficient to ignite a flammable atmosphere.
Examples of ignition sources include naked flames, hot surfaces, mechanical sparks or
static electricity, and electrical/electronic or mechanical equipment that are not designed
for use in a hazardous area.
6.Chemical storage requirements
Storage
Non-hazardous chemicals, hazardous substances and small volumes of dangerous goods may at
times be kept in a dedicated storage area within the common property area. These dedicated
storage areas must be:
well ventilated
well lit
separated from all ignition sources
protected from temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight
Secured from ALL visitors, contractors and occupants, whilst at the facility, unless they
are suitably trained and competent in the handling of these goods.
The shelving and/or cupboards storing chemicals must:
be constructed of chemically resistant materials
provide a lip at the front of the shelf.
Safety
Any dangerous goods that are incompatible must be segregated to prevent them mixing.
This can be achieved by the use of an impervious barrier or by a separation distance
sufficient to prevent contamination (a distance of 1.5 metres should be sufficient in most
circumstances).
All chemicals must be stored in their respective classes, taking into account
incompatibilities within a class, such as concentrated acids and bases in Class 8.

Except as indicated on the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Dangerous
Goods should be segregated based on the Recognising Dangerous Goods Segregation
Chart. See last page for example.
Wherever possible, Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances must be stored in

original containers and labelled as supplied. It is prohibited to use drink or food
containers (discarded or new) to store chemicals.
If transferred to or kept in other containers, these must be compatible, suitable for the
purpose and labelled.
Containers including lids, caps and seals, must be checked regularly for deterioration and
replaced when necessary.
Exposure to hazardous substances should, so far as is practicable, be prevented by

physical barriers or procedural measures. Nonetheless, suitable personal protective
equipment must be available and must always be worn when handling all hazardous
substances and dangerous goods.
At least one Dry Chemical fire extinguisher should be provided near locations where
chemicals are stored. The extinguisher must be located so that it is immediately
accessible in an emergency, along an exit route.
Flammable liquids or solids can be stored together in a in a suitably compliant flammable

liquids cabinet.
Liquids must not be stored above powders and solids and, if in glass bottles, must be
stored at lower levels;
Spontaneously Combustible Solids must be stored separately in a suitably compliant

flammable liquids cabinet.
Corrosive Substances should be stored in suitably compliant cabinets, with separate

cabinets for concentrated Acids and Bases (Alkalis).
Compatible goods of mixed classes can be kept in a suitably compliant cabinet


Spill Containment
Packages must be kept on surfaces that are resistant to their contents if spilt.
Packages > 1.5 kg or 1.5 L should not be stored on shelves higher than 1.5 m.
Except when stored in specialised chemical storage cabinets, containers for liquids
should be stored on impervious spill trays and, if glass, must not be on shelves more
than 1 m above the floor.
Spill containment facilities such as a spill kit must be provided in the storeroom, unless all
liquids are stored in cabinets or on shelves with built in spill retention e.g. drip trays.
When a subsidiary risk is listed for a chemical, the storage requirements of both the
relevant Dangerous Goods Class/Division and the Subsidiary Risk must be followed.
Suitable absorption materials should be readily available for dealing with spills.
Any dangerous goods or hazardous substance spill must be cleaned up immediately,

taking appropriate precautions for the hazards of the material.
Ventilation
Ventilation is vital to create and maintain a safe working atmosphere in an area where
chemicals are stored and handled.

Ventilation is achieved by the introduction or recirculation of air by natural or mechanical
means.


A safe working atmosphere is characterised by:

- Sufficient oxygen levels for breathing;
- Concentrations of hazardous gases, vapours, mists, fumes and dusts are within relevant
exposure standards;
- Concentrations of flammable gases, vapours, mists, fumes and dusts are below 5% of
their lower explosion limit; and
- Avoidance of the build-up of heat and extremes of temperature.
- Expert advice should be sought prior to installing, or when maintaining local or

mechanical exhaust ventilation, or for specific Chemical Storage Cabinet ventilation.

FACILITIES NEW CHEMICAL APPROVAL PROCESS
Overview
The purpose of the Facilities Chemical Approval Process is to assure that there is
an adequate review held to examine both the physical and health hazards associated with
a proposed chemical before it is used by our employees. All new chemicals that are
used by Facilities employees are to be evaluated through this process prior to use.
During the approval process, the Occupational Health and Safety Organization will
designate the appropriate consultant(s) to review the physical and health hazards, make
recommendations for proper handling and protective equipment measures, and to
recommend adequate training for compliance with university policy. The decision for
approval or rejection of chemical use is made by the Assistant Director whose employees
will be using the chemical.
Definition of Hazardous Chemical
A hazardous chemical is defined as any element, chemical compound or mixture

of elements and/or compounds which pose a physical hazard or a health hazard.
Physical Hazards
A chemical is a physical hazard if there is scientifically valid

evidence that it is any of the following:
- A combustible liquid - A compressed gas
- An explosive - A flammable
- An organic peroxide - An oxidizer
- A pyrophoric - An unstable material or a water reactive
- Shock sensitive chemicals
Health Hazards
A chemical is a health hazard if there is statistically significant evidence based

upon at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that
acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees. Included are:
- carcinogens - irritants
- reproductive toxins - corrosives
- sensitizers - radioactive materials
- neurotoxins - biohazards
- hepatoxins - nephrotoxins
- agents that damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucus membranes
7.Procedure
7.1 Identify Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances
The Workplace Manager and/or Management OHS Nominee must ensure that all dangerous
goods and hazardous substances are identified within the workplace.
Examples of locations where dangerous goods and hazardous substances may be found include:
 materials technology areas
 art rooms
 dark rooms
 science laboratories
 classrooms
 storage areas (including the cleaner’s cupboard)
 maintenance/garden sheds
 kitchens/canteens
 swimming pools.
8.Hazardous Chemicals Management:
Activity type: identify the type of activity the SOP is being used for by checking the box
(double click on the box and select “checked” in the dialogue box) for either a:
Chemical Work Process – Briefly describe the process which involves hazardous chemicals.
List all chemicals used in the process.
Hazardous Chemical – List the hazardous chemical for which the SOP is being developed.
Include the CAS or UN number (this helps with accurate chemical identification) and product
name used for the chemical.
Hazardous Chemical Class - Describe the hazards associated with a particular group of
similar chemicals and list the chemicals used in the work space. List all chemicals used in
the process.
Complete a general advisory statement in the green box that identifies the main hazards
associated with the activity and describes the safest way to undertake the activity. For
example, an advisory statement for preparing a dilution of acid could be written as “When
diluting liquid acids for use as laboratory agents, special precautions must be taken as
concentrated acids are corrosive and cause serious burns”.
Description of work process, chemical or hazard class: describe the process used in the
activity. You may find it helpful to outline the process in a step-by-step list.
 For specific chemicals, include concentrations and the volume required.

 Describe the approximate frequency and duration of use, and location of use.
 Insert a copy of your specific procedures for working with this particular chemical
work process, hazardous chemical or hazard class if they are listed elsewhere (e.g. on
the chemical label, in a reference manual).
Potential Hazards: List the potential hazards for each chemical work process, hazardous
chemical, or hazardous class that you have identified.
 Include physical and health hazards such as fire, explosion, exposure hazards (burns
to the skin, toxic fume generation and absorption through the skin).
 Refer to the chemical SDS or the chemical label, instruction manuals and other
reference material.
 Be sure to include any hazards that may be associated with the work environment
and equipment used to undertake the task.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Eye, skin and body protection is important to
protect against chemical exposure. You can use the chemical’s safety data sheet, label
and/or manufacturer’s instructions to identify the required level of PPE and hygiene
practices needed for your activity.
A selection of PPE pictograms and directives is provided in a table for your use. It is by no
means comprehensive. Relevant additional information should be sought from other sources
if required. Simply delete or add any protective equipment pictograms and modify any
written descriptions listed in the safety data sheet or on the label that may be required to
undertake the activity safely.
9.Pre-operational safety checks/ special handling and storage

requirements:
Provide details on any actions that need to be implemented before starting the activity.
These may include, but are not limited to:
 specified SDS requirements
 setting out equipment required to safely complete the task
 checking for adjacent hazards in the workplace
 ensuring personnel are familiar with safety procedures
 compliance (e.g. ACDC compliance for herbicides)
List any handling and storage requirements for the hazardous chemicals involved in the
SOP, including:
 specific handling instructions
 storage areas
 storage according to compatibility and policies regarding access to chemicals
 special procedures such as dating chemicals upon receipt, and expiry dates should be
listed
 Also, indicate the location of other pertinent safety information, i.e. SDS, risk
assessments, equipment manuals, chemical references etc.
10. Operational safety checks (controls in place):
List any safety checks or control measures that need to be used during the work process
(e.g., replace lids on chemicals immediately after use, clean up spills immediately,
change gloves if chemical contact occurs). Describe engineering controls that will be
used to prevent or reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals for the chemical work
process, hazardous chemical or hazard chemical class. This includes ventilation devices
such as fume hoods, safety screens etc.
Step by step procedure: List the steps (i.e. instructions) that will be followed to
complete the activity.
Waste disposal: List which materials or substances will require disposal as hazardous
waste and indicate how they are to be disposed of.
Emergency response:
 Detail specific first aid responses (eyes, skin, inhalation, ingestion) from SDS and
identify the location of first aid kits and trained first aid personnel.
 List the location of appropriate emergency equipment (spill kits, showers, eye washes
and fire equipment). Any special requirements for personnel exposure should also be
identified in this section. Identify the location of emergency response phone
numbers.
 Detail the nearest spill kit location and describe any specific requirements (e.g.
neutralising agents, special absorbents or disposal methods). Refer to any spill
response and emergency guidelines in use in the workplace. Indicate how spills or
accidental releases will be handled and by whom.
 Detail any clean-up/decontamination actions. If items such as glove boxes,
equipment, work surfaces and controlled areas have been contaminated by hazardous
chemicals, remove chemical contaminants with appropriate solvents or cleaning
solutions.
 List the fire/explosion responses for the chemical as described in the SDS.
Person(s) completing the SOP/signature(s): The author(s) of the SOP print their
name(s) and sign the document. The SOP should be reviewed annually or sooner if an
incident occurs or changes are made.
11. Training and competency
Managers must ensure that workers who may be potentially exposed to hazardous
chemicals at work are provided appropriate information, instruction and training. The
training must:
o Be appropriate to the associated risks identified in the risk assessment

o Cover the safe use of equipment used in handling hazardous chemicals
o Include workers who supervise others working with hazardous chemicals
o Cover the correct use, care and storage of personal protective equipment
(PPE)and also cover hygiene (in relation to working with hazardous chemicals)
o Include emergency and evacuation procedures.
o Facilities employees work with chemicals every day.
o All district personnel involved with handling hazardous materials or waste shall
successfully complete a program of classroom training with an annual
refresher. A training log shall be kept on file for initial and annual training.
o Training shall be directed by a person trained by the district Safety Office
covering hazardous materials/waste management procedures.
o Training shall be successfully completed within six months after the date of
o employment.
o An annual review (refresher) of the initial training shall be conducted by the
site contact or by the Safety Office.
o Documented records of training shall be maintained at the site for review by
the San Diego County Department of Health Services. A copy of these records
shall be sent to the Safety Office.
o All district personnel NOT involved with handling hazardous materials or waste
shall review the Environmental Awareness guidelines available on the district
website.
o Documentation of Environmental Awareness training should be maintained at
the site for review.
o
A review of the training outcomes should be conducted to identify any need for any
further training. Workers should be consulted to help identify training needs. Training
should be reviewed when the risk assessment is reviewed. Information and instruction
should be evaluated to ensure the content is clearly understood by workers. Evaluation
could be done by on-job observation or through consultation.
employees need to know the physical and health hazards associated with the chemicals that
they may come in contact with while performing their jobs so that they can take measures
to minimize the hazard associated with chemical handling.
This obligation of employee hazard education requires that management take a proactive
approach to acquiring information (Material Safety Data Sheets) about the chemicals that
are.
12. Process for waste storage and disposal
12.1 Storage of Hazardous Waste
a) Notify the Safety Office when hazardous materials need to be discarded. Safety
Office shall provide all materials necessary to properly store hazardous waste. All
hazardous waste disposals will be coordinated by the Safety Office.
b) Keep hazardous waste containers closed when not in use.
c) Store hazardous waste in proper containers (no severe rusting or apparent structural
defects). If a container leaks, contact the Safety Office for assistance.
d) If more than one hazardous waste is stored in the same container, the wastes must
be compatible. Contact the Safety Office for guidance.
e) Containers storing ignitable or reactive waste must be at least 15 meters (50 feet)
from the site’s property line.
f) Containers must be stored in a manner that prevents an accidental release to the
environment.
g) Storage areas shall be inspected weekly.
h) Ensure that hazardous waste containers are properly labeled.
12.2 Hazardous Waste Shipments.

No hazardous waste shall be transported to or from district sites without notification of the
Safety Office. Hazardous waste transportation is strictly regulated and requires special
shipping documents to track the waste. Sites that have hazardous waste to be removed can
contact the Safety Office.
12.3 Universal Wastes.

Universal wastes are hazardous wastes that are more common and pose a lower risk to the
environment. The types of wastes that could be considered universal are: mercury and mercury-
containing devices (switches, thermometers, batteries, fluorescent lamps), cathode ray tubes
(CRTs, TVs, computer monitors); non-empty aerosol cans (paint spray); and household batteries
(rechargeable and no rechargeable).
12.4 Restricted Wastes.

Restricted wastes are wastes that may not contain hazardous characteristics but could pose a
hazard if improperly discarded into the trash, sewer, ground or air. Contact the Safety Office for
guidance.
12.5 Biohazardous and Medical Wastes.

Biohazardous and medical wastes are wastes that could contain bloodborne pathogens or be
considered infectious and pose a health risk to people and animals. Wastes regarded as
sharps must be handled through the district Sharps Management Program. Contact the
Safety Office for guidance.
12.6 Abandoned Wastes.

Abandoned household or industrial hazardous wastes are hazardous wastes left on or near
district sites as the result of illegal dumping. Abandoned hazardous wastes should not be
disturbed. Keep the area secured, contact School Police and the Safety Office for
assistance. If the waste has been deemed a threat to students and staff, immediately call
911 for assistance.
