IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© Student Text Other OSHA Standards 1910.146 The Confined Space Standard identifies requirements for confined space entry as well as practices and procedures to protect employees from the hazards of permit-required confined spaces. 1910.1030 The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard covers occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. This standard focuses on communicable disease such as HIV and Hepatitis B. 1910.147 The Control of Hazardous Energy, more commonly known as Lockout/Tagout (LO/TO) Standard establishes minimum performance requirements for control of energization (start up) of machines or equipment, or the release of stored energy that could cause injury. This standard requires employers to publish a written LO/TO program. Facilities are required to institute policies and procedures which protect workers from mechanical hazards during routine maintenance. 1910.133 In 1910.133, OSHA identifies acceptable eye and face protection. Eye and face protection are required when a reasonable probability of injury exists. 1910.134 The primary objective of the Respiratory Protection Standard is to control occupational disease caused by breathing contaminated air. Breathing air is contaminated when harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, sprays, or vapors exist in the work place. 1910.135 The Occupational Head Protection Standard requires workers to wear protective helmets when working in areas where the potential for head injury exists due to falling objects. 1-66 Module 1: Regulations
Student Text IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© 1910.136 The Protective Footwear Standard protects employees working in areas where harmful foot exposure exists. Protective footwear must be issued when hazards from falling and/or rolling objects, objects piercing the sole, or even electrical hazards are present in the work place. 1910.138 Protective hand protection is mandated when employees’ hands are exposed to one or more of the following conditions: skin absorption of harmful substances, severe cuts or lacerations, severe abrasions, punctures, chemical burns, thermal burns, and/or temperature extremes. 1910.95 The Occupational Noise Protection Standard identifies the type of protection necessary against a variety of noise exposures. In addition, the standard requires facilities to establish a hearing conservation program and communicate the effects of noise exposure. Most of these standards are referenced in 29 CFR 1910.120. In order to adequately protect the emergency response worker or the site worker, facilities must have an extensive understanding of the standards covered above. Since 29 CFR 1910.120 covers these workers, we will take an indepth look at this particular standard. Module 1: Regulations 1-67
