Routes of exposure
<
>
Routes of exposure
Your health can be adversely affected if a
chemical finds its way into your body through...
Inhalation - through the nose, mouth and
lungs
Ingestion - through the mouth - if you
accidentally swallow the chemical or touch
your mouth after you have been handling
chemicals
Absorption - by skin contact even when there
are no wounds or scratches, as some
chemicals can pass straight through the skin.
Injection - entry into the blood stream by a
contaminated object which breaks the skin.
<
>
The most common routes of

Routes of exposure
entry in industrial exposure are:
Inhalation is the most common route
Absorption - via the skin through
Ingestion - Normally occurs when food,
of entry as many toxic industrial materials

are present in an airborne form.
direct contact with hazardous solids and

liquids
cigarettes or drinks are contaminated by

hazardous materials. Cigarettes can absorb
toxic vapors.
<

Routes of exposure
Doc.. My stomach
hurts real bad!
There was case where a 28-year-old

electrician presented himself to a hospital
following a 4-month history of abdominal pain
and constipation. Routine blood testing
showed that his blood lead level was three
times the maximum acceptable level in
occupationally exposed adults. The source of
the lead was discovered in the plastic
insulation of electrical cable. The electrician
had chewed his way through at least a metre
a day of the cable for at least 10 years as a
substitute for smoking.

Hazardous Material Warning

Symbols
What are corrosives?
Corrosives are materials that can attack and
chemically destroy exposed body tissues. Corrosives
can also damage or even destroy metal. They begin to
cause damage as soon as they touch the skin, eyes,
respiratory tract, digestive tract, or the metal. They
might be hazardous in other ways too, depending on
the particular corrosive material.
Corrosive
Most corrosives are either acids or bases.
Examples of corrosive materials are:
hydrochloric acid
sulfuric acid
nitric acid
chromic acid
acetic acid
hydrofluoric
ammonium hydroxide
sodium
acid.
potassium hydroxide (caustic potash)
hydroxide (caustic soda).
<
>

Symbols
What are irritants?
a substance which on immediate, prolonged, or
repeated contact with normal living tissue will induce a
local inflammatory reaction.
Irritant
or
Harmful
What are Harmful materials?

This classification is a general one and does not
give any indication of the system or organ
within the body where the toxic effect takes
place.
Materials in this category may cause death or
acute chronic damage to health via inhalation,
swallowing or absorption through the skin.
<
>

Symbols
What are Toxic materials?
Toxic materials are incrementally more hazardous than
the Harmful classification. Materials in this category
may cause death or acute or chronic damage to health
via inhalation, swallowing, or absorption through the
skin in low and very low concentrations.
Toxic
Other, more specialized classifications for toxic materials are:
Carcinogens - may cause cancer through exposure
Mutagens - may cause genetic damage through exposure
Teratogens - may cause damage to the unborn child through exposure of the
pregnant mother-to-be
Sensitizers - may cause an allergic response. The two main groups are respiratory
and skin sensitizers.
<
>

Symbols
What are flammable liquids?
A liquid having a flash point below 100F
Flammable
Flammability is a measure of how easily a gas, liquid, or solid

will ignite and how quickly the flame, once started, will spread.
Flammable liquids themselves are not flammable; rather, the
vapor from the liquids are combustible. The flash point of a
material is the temperature at which a liquid (or volatile solid)
gives off vapor in quantities significant enough to form an
ignitable mixture with air. Given an external source of ignition (i.e.,
spark, flame), a material can ignite at temperatures at or above
its flash point.
Examples of flammable liquids are:
acetone
sodium
hydrogen
ethyl alcohol
ethyl ether
acetylene
<
>

Symbols
What are explosive materials?

Explosive materials are chemicals that cause a sudden,
almost instantaneous release of large or small amounts of
pressure, gas, and heat when subjected to sudden shock,
pressure, or high temperature.
Explosive
Examples of commonly-used explosive chemicals:
acetylene
hydrogen
nitrogen containing compounds
ammonia
halogens
perchlorates
<
>

Symbols
What are Environmental Hazards?
Environmental Hazards are materials that pollute the air
and water, and harm fish, other animals, plants and the ozone
layer. The damage to the environment in turn can cause
serious health problems for humans.
Environmental
hazard
Examples of environmental hazards:
Mercury - poisons fish and humans who eat the fish
Freon gas - damages the ozone layer of the atmosphere
which exposes humans to cancer causing ultra-violet radiation
Oil spill - kills birds and marine life
<
>

Symbols
What are radioactive materials?
Radioactive
Materials composed of unstable atoms are said to be

radioactive. These atoms give off, or emit, the excess energy or
mass, which is called radiation. The kinds of radiation are
electromagnetic (like light) and particulate (i.e., mass given off
with the energy of motion). Gamma radiation and X-rays are
examples of electromagnetic radiation. Beta and alpha radiation
are examples of particulate radiation. Large doses of
radiation will damage human cells and can cause serious
illness (i.e. cancer) and death.
Example of radioactive materials:

The radioactive source used in MWD and well logging tools.

Preventing
Exposure
If it is reasonably practicable, you must prevent exposure to

hazardous materials by:
changing the process or activity so that the hazardous
substance is not required or generated;
or
replacing it with a safer alternative;
or
using it in a safer form, such as pellets instead of
powder.
<
>
Controlling
Exposure
If prevention is not reasonably practicable, you should adequately
control exposure by one or more of the following measures:
total enclosure of the process
partial enclosure and extraction equipment (local
exhaust ventilation)
general ventilation
using systems of work and handling procedures which
minimize the chances of spills, leaks & other escape of
hazardous materials
reducing the number of employees exposed, or the duration of
their exposure, but only AFTER considering and, where
possible, putting into effect the above measures.

Suitable units for quick drenching or flushing
of the eyes and body shall be provided
within the work area for immediate
emergency use where any person may be
exposed to injurious corrosive chemicals.
These units must be checked regularly and
maintained in good working condition.
There must always be clear, unobstructed
access to the emergency equipment.

/ BodyAid
Exposure
- First
For emergency showers and eyewash stations to
be effective, the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) recommends that the affected
body part must be flushed immediately and
thoroughly for at least 15 minutes using a large
supply of clean fluid under low pressure. Water
does not neutralize contaminants -- it only dilutes
and washes them away. This is why large
amounts of water are needed.
<

Emergency Response
Eye
/ BodyAid
Exposure
- First
However, other references recommend a
minimum 20-minute flushing period if the nature
of the contaminant is not known. The flushing or
rinsing time can be modified if the identity and
properties of the chemical are known. For
example:
a minimum 5-minute flushing time is
recommended for mildly irritating chemicals,
at least 20 minutes for moderate-to-severe
irritants,
20 minutes for non-penetrating corrosives, and
at least 60 minutes for penetrating corrosives.
