Subcontractors
All subcontractors working under our companies control are required to follow the requirements of this
program. We shall provide subcontractors information concerning:
Location of MSDS
Precautions to be taken to protect subcontractor employees
Potential exposure to hazardous substances
Chemicals used in or stored in areas where they will be working
Location and availability of Material Safety Data Sheets
Recommended Personal Protective Equipment
Labeling system for chemicals
Multiple Employer Worksites
As industrial contractor company employees will often be assigned to jobsites where employees from
multiple companies are working together or in close proximity. Many of these jobsites may have hazardous
materials present, either being used by other employers, stored or transported through the area. In these
facilities, jobsites or work areas where this company is a subcontractor or does not have total control of the
procedures being used, company supervision shall identify and communicate to all employees in his or her
area of control the following:
Methods of supplying or locations of MSDS provided by the primary employer or organization in control of
the facility or worksite.
Methods the primary employer or organization in control of the facility or worksite will use to inform other
employers and their employees of any precautionary measures required to protect employees during
normal operations and emergencies.
Methods of notification, labeling, or warnings used by the primary employer or organization in control of the
facility or worksite to inform other employers and their employees of material hazards in the work area.
Non-English Speaking Employees
Where non-English speaking employees are exposed to material hazards, a method, or methods shall be
employed to communicate hazardous material information to these employees in their own language.
10.2 - Identification of Hazardous Materials
Some chemicals are explosive, corrosive, flammable, or toxic. Other chemicals are relatively safe to use
and store but may become dangerous when they interact with other substances. To avoid injury and
property damage, persons who handle chemicals in any area must understand the hazardous properties of
the chemicals. Before using a specific chemical, safe handling methods and health hazards must always
be reviewed. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the equipment needed to work safely with
chemicals is accessible and maintained for all employees on all shifts.
10.3 - Product Warning Labels
In addition to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard illustrated in section 8.4 above,
there are numerous other types of labeling schemes in use. Most combine symbols with text to
communicate the hazards involved. Some even identify specific PPE requirements, body organs at risk if
exposed, and emergency procedures.
