_________ law. - ANSWERS-"Right-to-know"
What is a hazardous substance? - ANSWERS-A Hazardous Substance is
any substance which can cause injury (a physical hazard) or cause illness
(a health hazard) in a person.
Different types of labeling systems: - ANSWERS-The Globally
Harmonized System (GHS) label
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) labeling system
The Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS)
Hazard category 1 on a GHS label - ANSWERS-MOST severe hazard.
Hazard category 5 on a GHS label - ANSWERS-LEAST severe hazard.
How are the HMIS and the NFPA labels are alike? - ANSWERS-They
use the same color codes and number warnings.

HMIS and NFPA LABELS: (EXAMPLE) - ANSWERS-On the blue
health area, 0 = no health hazard, 1= slight health hazard, 2= moderate
health hazard, 3= Extreme Danger 4= very severe or deadly health
hazard..
SDS - ANSWERS-Safety Data Sheet.
Each SDS must contain: - ANSWERS-The identity used on the label
The physical and chemical characteristics of the hazardous chemical
(such as the
vapor pressure and flash point)
The physical hazards of the hazardous chemical (such as any fire,
explosion, and
reactivity hazards)
The health hazards of the chemical, including the signs and symptoms
of
exposure and any medical conditions resulting from exposure to the
chemical
The primary routes of entry
The relevant exposure limits

Whether the chemical is a cancer-causing agent
What is PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit)? - ANSWERS-is the
measurement OSHA uses to identify the maximum amount of substance
that a person can safely be exposed to at any one moment in time.
What is"TWA" meaning Time-Weighted-Average (of 8 hours)? -
ANSWERS-it is another measure for exposure limits, it determines how
much of an exposure is allowable within a normal 8-hour workday.
Examples of such chemical hazards would be: - ANSWERS-Asbestos
Lead
Radiation
Abestos: - ANSWERS-Asbestos contains fibers that are very strong and
resistant to heat and chemicals. Asbestos is often used to insulate vessels
and piping. Asbestos is used in siding, shingles and floor tiles. Under
normal conditions, these fibers do not pose a health hazard but they do
become hazardous if something happens to cause these fibers to be
released into the air. When released in the air these fibers can cause lung
cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or a lung condition called asbestosis.
