UNC’s Fire Safety program is based on NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, N.C. Fire Prevention Code, and OSHA 1910 Subpart E.

The University’s Emergency Action Plan

EHS has a general Emergency Action Plan for the University to follow that includes what to do in a fire emergency.

This plan includes the following:

Posting of planned evacuation routes

Procedures to follow in the event of a fire or emergency

Procedures to account for employees after evacuation

Procedures for employees who remain to operate critical equipment in an emergency

9

Getting Out Safely

If a fire or other emergency occurs in your building, employees must know two Means of Egress (exit).

OSHA defines Means of Egress as “A continuous and unobstructed way of exit travel from any point in a building or structure to a public way.”

The three main components of Means of Egress are:

The way of Exit Access

The Exit

The way of Exit Discharge

10

Getting out Safely

Exit Discharge: The exit from a building to a public way.

Exit Access: The portion of an exit route that leads to an exit.

Exit:The protected way of travel to the exit discharge.

11

Building Evacuation Procedures

Employees should know at least two evacuation routes for their designated work area and for any area they frequent often.

Employees are encouraged to evaluate the building evacuation areas daily to ensure that there are no obstructions.

If obstructions are found, please report it to EHS immediately at (919) 962-5507.

12

Remembering RACE could save your life

If a fire emergency occurs in your workplace, it is vital that you are prepared to react.

The acronym RACE provides the basic steps of the Emergency Action Plan:

Remove or rescue individuals in immediate danger.

Activate the nearest fire pull station and call 911.

Confine the fire by closing windows, vents and doors.

Evacuate to a safe area (know the evacuation routes for your area).

13

Emergency Coordinators and their role in

campus safety.

A Emergency Coordinators(EC) has been designated for all occupied buildings.

Each EC is responsible for assisting in the safe evacuation of employees.

The EC completes an information document that responders can use in an emergency. The document lists:

Evacuation monitors’ names

Names and phone numbers of employees occupying the building.

Location of employees needing assistance

Rooms containing hazardous material

Equipment needing special attention

To obtain the name of your building’s Emergency Coordinator contact the Fire Safety section at EHS at (919) 962-5507.

14

15

In an emergency, each Emergency Coordinator is responsible for the following in accordance with the University Emergency Plan:

Sweep through assigned area to alert occupants that an evacuation is in process.

Assist building occupants needing special assistance. Report to the University Emergency Command Sector with

emergency information card. Advise emergency personnel regarding building contents. Account for all employees by meeting building occupants at

the assembly area. Advise building occupants regarding situation and when

re-entry is permitted. Advise Facilities Services personnel in cleanup operations.

Emergency Coordinators and their role in

campus safety

Currently, University buildings are equipped with Type ABC fire extinguishers, which extinguish ordinary combustible items, flammable liquids and electrical fires. (See below.)

The exception is in computer labs or mechanical rooms, which contain CO2 extinguishers.

Hazard Communication Background

What is OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard?

OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard (29 CFR

1910.1200), promulgated 1994, requires that

employees be informed of the hazards of chemical(s)

that they work with or are present in their work area.

OSHA Hazard Communication

Standard (continued)

The four elements of the program include:

Ensuring chemicals are labeled

Maintaining departmental/work unit/laboratory

chemical inventories

Maintaining Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Training of personnel by Supervisor on the

chemicals that are used or in the workplace

OSHA collaborates with United Nation

To view details of this

report, double click picture.

Understanding the need for

consistent classifications of

hazards chemicals, OSHA

decided to better align with the

United Nations’ Globally

Harmonized System by adopting

a common classification and

labeling of chemicals.

Benefits of Adopting GHS

There are several benefits for OSHA in adopting the

Globally Harmonized system. In particular, it will

provide a common and coherent approach to

classifying chemicals and communicating hazard

information on labels and safety data sheets. Thus

resulting in:

• Consistency of information provided

• Increase comprehension of hazards

• Help address literacy problems

• Facilitation of international trade of chemicals

OSHA Publishes Revised Standard

In March 2012, the revised Hazard Communication Standard

became law and included an established timeframe for

implementation. The table below outlines the effective dates,

requirements and responsible parties.

Effective Completion Date Requirement(s) Who

Benefit of HazCom2012

With the University’s mission to “serve North Carolina,

the United States, and the World through teaching,

research, and public service,” the new requirements

under HazCom 2012 will enhance clarity for

University employees positioned on campus as well as

abroad.

HazCom2012 Requirements

By December 2013, all University employees are to

have received general training regarding

“definitions”, “label” and “Safety Data Sheet” for

chemicals under new HazCom 2012 standard.

Supervisors are still required to provide job specific

training to employees on the chemicals used in their

area at least once and every time a new chemical is

added. The training must cover proper use, handling,

and personal protective equipment required for the

safe handling of the hazardous chemicals.

Definitions

HazCom 2012 will use a “specification” approach

rather than a “performance-oriented” approach.

Hazards will be classified thus providing a specific

criteria for classification of health and physical

hazards, as well as classification of mixtures.

Specifically:

Appendix A defines health and physical hazards

Appendix B includes additional parameters to evaluate health

hazard data

Appendix F pertains to Carcinogens

Labels

HazCom 2012 requires

chemical manufacturers and

importers to provide a

label that includes a

harmonized product

identifier, pictogram, signal

word, and hazard

statement for each hazard

class and category.

Precautionary statements

must also be provided.

Labels - Pictograms

Pictograms are required on labels to alert users of the chemical

hazards to which they may be exposed. Each pictogram consists

of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border

and represents a distinct hazard(s), such as health, physical, and

environmental . The pictogram on the label is determined by the

chemical hazard classification. There are nine pictograms with

only the environmental pictogram being optional.

Labels – Distinct Hazards

As previously stated, “Distinct hazards” are chemicals

in which there is scientific evidence that a health,

physical, and/or environmental hazards may occur.

Health Hazard - acute or chronic health affects may occur if

exposed.

Physical Hazard - a combustible liquid, a compressed gas,

explosive, flammable, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer,

pyrophoric, unstable (reactive) or water-reactive

Environmental Hazard – pose risk or danger to the

environment

Labels – Pictograms (Health)

Acute Toxicity (fatal and toxic)

Fatal in contact with skin

Fatal if inhaled

Fatal if swallowed

Toxic if swallowed

Toxic in contact with skin

Examples: Carbon Monoxide, Ammonia, Acrylonitrile, Arsenic

Skull and Cross Bones will appear on the most severely toxic

chemicals. Depending on the toxicity of the chemical, the skull

and crossbones indicates that the chemical may be toxic or

fatal. Specifically it can mean:

Labels – Pictograms (Health)

May be corrosive to metals

Causes severe skin burns

Causes serious eye damage

Examples: Sodium Hydroxide (lye) and Sulfuric Acid

Corrosive will appear on chemicals that have

corrosive properties. Depending on the properties

of the chemical(s) in the product, the corrosion

pictogram can mean:

Environment symbol will appear on chemicals which

are acutely hazardous to fish, crustacean, or aquatic

plants. This is the only symbol that is not mandatory.

Aquatic Toxicity

Acute hazards to the aquatic environment

Chronic hazards to the aquatic environment

Label – Signal Word

A Signal Word is used to indicate

the relative level of severity of

hazard and alert the reader to a

potential hazard on the label. The

signal words used are:

"Danger" - used for the more

severe hazards

“Warning" - used for less

severe hazards.

Labels- Hazard Statement

A Hazard Statement describes the nature of the

hazard(s) of a chemical, including where appropriate

the degree of hazard.

All of the applicable hazard

statements must appear on

the label.

Labels – Precautionary Statement

A Precautionary Statement

is a statement that describes

recommended measures that

should be taken to minimize

or prevent adverse effects.

Label –

What do UNC Employees need to do?

Effective June 1 2015, all chemicals received

at the University should have the required

label. Any material transferred to another

container must also have the same label

versus just chemical/product name.

Safety Data Sheets

HazCom 2012 requires Safety Data Sheets - SDS

(formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets –

MSDS) to use a specified 16-section standardized

format.

Under the new format, employees wanting information

regarding Exposure Controls/Personal Protection will

always refer to Section 8 of the Safety Data Sheets.

Safety Data Sheets

To improve employee understanding, information

listed on the label, like Precautionary Statement, will

be same information the employee will find on the

Safety Data Sheet.

The standardize 16 sections is broken down as

follows:

Safety Data Sheet – 16 Sections

1. Identification of the substance

or mixture and of the supplier

2. Hazards identification

3. Composition/information on

ingredients Substance/Mixture

4. First aid measures

5. Firefighting measures

13. Disposal considerations

(non mandatory)

14. Transport information

(non mandatory)

15. Regulatory information

(non mandatory)

16. Other information including information

on preparation and revision of the SDS

Safety Data Sheets –

What do UNC Employees need to do?

By December 2015, distributors must provide the new

format of Safety Data Sheets. Supervisors need to

update the Safety Data Sheet notebooks and/or

computer links in their job specific area to the newly

format sheets.

Remember SDS(s) must be accessible to employees at

all times.

NC OSHA– Enforcement

By June 2016, NC OSHA will begin to enforce

compliance with HazCom 2012 by conducting site

evaluations.

Environment, Health and Safety will continue to assist

University departments with the implementation of the

specific requirements covered in this training.

Asbestos on Campus

As an employee of UNC, EHS is informing you of the presence of asbestos-containing materials in residence halls and campus buildings. Provided the materials are in good condition, they pose no health risk to the building occupants. http://ehs.unc.edu/ih/asbestos

UNC has an Asbestos Control Policy and Program to manage asbestos on UNC's campus.

Materials containing asbestos may include flooring, ceilings, walls, thermal system insulation on tanks, pipes and other miscellaneous materials.

UNC maintains asbestos-containing materials so they do not release asbestos fibers into the air. When asbestos containing materials become damaged, isolation, repair and/or removal are implemented immediately.

The University has a staff of accredited professionals that conduct building inspections, coordinate and supervise asbestos related construction activities, perform air monitoring and provide employee training.

If you have any questions concerning asbestos in a specific building on campus, please feel free to contact EHS at 919-962-5507 to make an appointment to review the building inspection reports.

Floors

Carpets can be trip hazards. If the carpet starts to wear, tear or come loose, have it repaired or removed.

Clean up spills as soon as possible and notify Facilities Services about any water leaks. Wet carpets are an ideal place to grow mold.

Floors, con’t.

Walk with caution over wet floors and when you have

wet shoes. On rainy or snowy days, take a few extra

minutes to wipe off your shoe soles as soon as you

enter any building on campus.

Be aware of distractions. For instance, running or

walking while looking at your phone or texting can

make accidents more likely. Whether you are walking

across campus or around your office, always be

aware of your surroundings.

Technique for the Occasional Lifter

Heavy/Awkward Loads

Sometimes you will encounter objects that are too heavy,

large, or awkwardly shaped for you to safely lift

unassisted.

Look for tools that you can use to help you with the lift.

Heavy/Awkward Loads, con’t.

Take the time to get

someone to help with

the lifting if it is

awkward.

Suspicious Persons

If you see someone that is acting suspicious or does

not belong in the area dial 919-962-8100 for the

UNC Department of Public Safety.

Scissor lifts

Scissor lifts have a platform that

CANNOT be positioned

completely beyond the base. It is

used to position personnel,

necessary tools, and materials at

elevated work locations. Scissor

aerial work platforms are power

operated (motorized) with

primary functions controlled from

the platform.

*Additional training

required from EHS

before use!

Boom lift

A boom lift has a platform

that CAN be positioned

completely beyond the

base and is used to position

personnel, necessary tools

and materials at elevated

work locations.

*Additional training

required from EHS before

use!

Fall protection

Why wear fall protection while on a lift?

Fall protection is required due to the potential for

being bounced out of lift or from climbing out of the

basket.

A harness is required to be worn at all times when on

the platform, whether you are working or just watching

someone else!

Remember to inspect the harness prior to use for

damage that might lessen its protection.

Ladder Safety

There are a variety of

ladders that can be found

throughout the UNC

campus: Stepladders,

extension ladders, and

fixed ladders. These

ladders range in a variety

of shapes and sizes.

Never stand on the two top rungs

of a ladder.

Do not try to move a ladder

while you are on it by rocking, or

pushing it away from a

supporting wall.

Only one person may be on a

ladder at a time unless the

ladder is specifically designed

for two people

Wear PPE according to the job

being performed including

rubber-soled shoes to prevent

slipping on rungs of the ladder.

PPE

Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) is

equipment that creates

a barrier between you

and a hazard.

General clothing

(including uniforms)

are NOT PPE.

PPE is also the

minimum amount of

protection OSHA

requires you to wear

for a job or task.

PPE additional

PPE is important

because it can help

protect you from

injuries.

Examples can be

hardhats, gloves,

safety glasses, steel

toe boots, respirators,

etc.

Pre Test

b) Avoid twisting

c) Keep the object close to your body

d) All of the above

Injuries

If an injury occurs that involves blood, do not clean

with only a paper towel. There is a proper

cleanup method we will cover shortly.

The exposure to unknown risks may be very

dangerous. You could be exposing yourself to

bloodborne pathogens.

What are Bloodborne Pathogens?

OSHA defines bloodborne pathogens as:

Pathogenic microorganisms

that are present in humans blood

that can cause disease in human.

The “Big 3” bloodborne pathogens that can be transmitted are:

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)

Hepatitis C Virus

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Care of Surfaces

How to handle blood spills:

With gloves on, contain the spill in as small an area as is

possible.

Absorb the blood with a paper towel then treat contaminated

surfaces with a 1:10 concentration of bleach to disinfect.

Separate blood-contaminated laundry and label as a

potential biohazard. Launder appropriately.
