SBA Assignment # 3 – Hazard and Hazardous Substances
1. Define the following terminologies:
a) Hazard
According to www.ccohs.ca a hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or
adverse health effects on something or someone.
b) Hazardous Substances
According to www.wikinvest.com the term “Hazardous Substance” as used in this
Agreement shall mean any toxic or hazardous substance, material or waste or any
pollutant or contaminant or infectious or radioactive material, including but not
limited to those substances, materials or wastes regulated now or in the future
under any of the statutes.
2. Identify at least ten (10) hazard signs/symbols that you are likely to encounter in a
mechanical, electrical or building and furniture technology lab.
3. (a) What is a material safety data sheet?
According to www.ccohs.ca a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that
contains information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and
environmental) and how to work safely with the chemical product. It is an essential
starting point for the development of a complete health and safety program. It also
contains information on the use, storage, handling and emergency procedures all
related to the hazards of the material. The MSDS contains much more information
about the material than the label. MSDSs are prepared by the supplier or
manufacturer of the material.
(b) What information can be found on the MSDS?
According to www.ccohs.com a there are nine (9) categories of information that must
be present on an MSDS in Canada. These categories are specified in the Controlled
Products Regulations and include:
Product Information: product identifier (name), manufacturer and suppliers
names, addresses, and emergency phone numbers
Hazardous Ingredients
Physical Data
Fire or Explosion Hazard Data
Reactivity Data: information on the chemical instability of a product and the
substances it may react with
Toxicological Properties: health effects
Preventive Measures
First Aid Measures
Preparation Information: who is responsible for preparation and date of
preparation of MSDS
The Controlled Products Regulations prescribes what information must be
present in more detail.
(c) Why is MSDS important?
According to blink.ucsd.edu Safety Data Sheet (formerly called Material
Safety Data Sheet) is a detailed informational document prepared by the
manufacturer or importer of a hazardous chemical. It describes the physical
and chemical properties of the product.
(d) Include a sample of a material Safety Data Sheet that would be appropriate
to any one (1) of the three labs of Industrial Technology (Mechanical
Technology, Electrical and Electronics Technology or Building and Furniture
Technology).
4. What precautions must be taken when storing materials and supplies safely in lab?
In order to effectively manage chemicals, small labs should establish a program based
on the following three principals:
Minimize Exposures Take the necessary precautions when working with and
storing chemicals. As a means of minimizing the potential for exposure,
pursue opportunities for product substitution.
Do Not Underestimate Risks Ensure that the risk associated with each
chemical is assessed, understood and communicated. It is prudent to assume
all chemicals are hazardous and handle them accordingly.
Use Proper Control Measures Eliminate the hazard through engineering
controls, personal protective equipment, and administrative procedures.
Ensure that all staff is properly trained in accordance with regulatory
requirements (e.g., Laboratory Standard) so that they can operate safety at
their job.
SBA Assignment # 4 – Getting Professional Help
1. For the following professions, obtain the contact information for your local community,
town or parish. Example Hunts Bay Police Station (Kingston): (876) 923-8908
(a) Red Cross -Trenton Rd Red Cross (Clarendon): (876)445-3363
(b) Police - Maypen Police Station (Clarendon): (876)902-4169
(c) Fire Service - Maypen Fire Station (Clarendon): (876)986-2192
(d) Jamaica Defense Force-
(e) Hospital and Ambulance Service - Maypen General Hospital (Clarendon):
(876)9867089
2. Complete the attached report, using an example that is related to the industrial technology
field. Eg, a construction site, industrial plant, engineering workshop.
SBA Assignment # 5 – Accident, Injury and Emergency
1. Identify the differences between accidents, an injury, and an emergency.
Accident - something bad that happens that is not expected or intended and
that often damages something or injures someone.
Injury - physical harm or damage to someone's body caused by an accident or
an attack.
Emergency - something dangerous or serious, such as an accident, that
happens suddenly or unexpectedly and needs fast action in order to avoid
harmful results.
2. Give two (2) examples of each of the following; accident, injury, an
emergency.
Accident – Motor Vehicle accident
Slip and trip accident
Injury – Broken arm
Broken leg
Emergency – Heart attacks
Cardiac arrest
