HAZCOM Process Overview
5
The Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) is a Process that support the OE Expectation Element 3: Safe Operations, as a comprehensive safety program to manage and communicate hazards.
HazCom Process was established to reduce the incidents of chemical source illness and injury in a workplace where hazardous chemicals and wastes are produced, stored, or used. HazComrequirements are consistent with the United Nation Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

and Storage
Thai regulations adopt GHS requirements since 2012.
ASBU Hazard Communication Standardized Process was written based on GHS.
The United Nation Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals or GHS sets consistent criteria for classification and labeling on a global level.
TSP-33 Chemical Handling and Storage provides guidance regarding the requirements and procedures for handling and storage of chemicals.
HAZCOM Process Overview
© 2014 Chevron Corporation. All rights reserved.
A hazardous chemical inventory is maintained and updated
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are up-to-date and accessible
All containers containing hazardous chemicals are clearly labeled
All areas where hazardous materials are stored include clearly visible warning signs
Chemical Approval Process is used when a new hazardous product is brought to any work location
All affected workforce receive initial training and refresher training every three years and when new hazards are introduced into the work environment

The benefits of the GHS are not only reducing confusion in the workplace, but also developing workforce competency in communicating hazards and enhancing safer handling and using of chemicals and hazardous materials.
Prior to the GHS, hazard classification and labeling often differed in design from country to country. This wide variety of communication only increased the possibility for confusion and risky mistakes.
The GHS standardizes two critical areas of hazardous communication:
1) How hazardous chemicals are classified and
2) The methods used to communicate those hazards.
Definition of Hazardous Chemical
There is no single, global definition of a hazardous chemical
A chemical that has a potential to cause physical, health or environmental harm should be considered hazardous
© 2014 Chevron Corporation. All rights reserved 12
Hazard Classification
Chemical hazards are classified in 3 categories:
Physical
Physical Hazard
Health

Purpose of Harmonized LabelsContainer labels provide a type of “first-line-of-defense.” A container label provides important information about how to handle that chemical safely although they’re not as informative as SDSs.
Various types or templates of hazard warning signs or labels were used which may cause confusion in the workplaces.
GHS standardizes different designed labels into one uniformity.
Labels
© 2014 Chevron Corporation. All rights reserved 17
GHS Labels Elements
Labels
Product identifier could be common names, product commercial names or chemical identity as determined by IUPAC and should match the product identifier used on the SDS. Where a substance or mixture is covered by the Transport of Dangerous Goods, the UN proper shipping name shall also be used.
1. Product identifier Signal word are words used to indicate the severity of the hazard and alert employees to the potential hazard. Only one of two signal words will appear, depending on the hazard category
DANGER(more sever hazard)
WARNING(less sever hazard)
2. Signal words
3. PictogramsPictograms are standardized icons for health, physical and environmental hazards4. Hazard statementsHazard statements are standardized and assigned phrases that describe the hazard(s) as determined by hazard classification.
Precautionary statements supplement the hazard information by briefly providing measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects from physical, health or environmental hazards. Precautionary statements can relate to prevention, response in cases of accidental spillage or exposure, storage and disposal
5. Precautionary statements
Supplier identification includes name, address and telephone number of the manufacturer or supplier of the product.
6. Supplier identification
Supplemental information is non-harmonized information on the container of a hazardous product that is not required or specified under the GHS.
7. Supplemental Information

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Safety Data Sheet: A detailed description of each hazardous material. It contains information on the hazardous properties and potential adverse effects of chemicals.
The safety and health information in a SDS should be reviewed before purchasing or using a new material.
Workforce should understand correct material handling and storage as well as the appropriate response methods in the event of a spill or chemical exposure.
SDSs must be available for ALL of the hazardousmaterials present in your work area.

Labeling Requirements
59
In order to standardize the labeling practice, you should follow the following requirements:
Containers or products from vendor/supplier
without label or with inadequate label should be attached a Chevron label
Always attach a proper label for chemical in small
container that is drawn off from the original container
No label required for chemical in small container with caution, recommendation and warning label
The outer package transported from vendor must have chemical label attached if such products are classified as hazardous substances.

SDS Management System
It is important to know where SDS is maintained. SDS must be reviewed during conducting HA/JSA prior to working with hazardous chemicals and in an emergency, SDS provides useful information how to respond to a situation safely.
SDS can be accessed at the following sources:
– Facility SDS binder or Master SDS binder maintained in HES Specialist’s Office
– Site SDS binders are maintained at each workplace location, e.g. mechanic shop, I/E shop, remote wellhead platform
– ChemWatch, a web-based SDS management system
SDS must be maintained and updated to ensure:– New chemicals or products are added to the SDS binder;
– The system is reviewed annually.
© 2014 Chevron Corporation. All rights reserved
SDS Management System
is an online application collecting SDS of all chemicals used in Chevron Thailand. Frequently used functions are:
– searching for a SDS;
– printing out labels; and
– searching for chemical inventory of your workplace.
Note: ChemWatch is available for Chevron Employees and Contractors who have Smart Badges only.

Warning Signs and Placards
62
All areas where hazardous materials are used or stored must have clearly visible warning signs or placards. These warning signs or placards include, but not limited to:
forbidden signs;
safety signs;
warning signs;
no smoke, food or drink signs;
chemical storage signs; etc.

Product Acceptance Procedure
67
If you are going to purchase a new chemical or product for use at Chevron locations, you must complete a Product Acceptance Form and forward the form with vendor SDS to the HAZCOM Process Advisor in the OE/HES Department for review and approval.
The purpose of the “Product Acceptance Form” is to ensure that all new chemicals or products are reviewed and approved by the OE/HES Department prior to purchasing.

and Don’t for Working Safely with Chemicals
1. Segregate chemicals that can cause harmful reaction if placed close together, e.g., flammable and explosive chemicals, corrosive and flammable materials.
2. Remove food, drink and cigarettes from the work area to prevent contamination.
3. Read and study SDS and label before starting work.
4. Know where the emergency shower and eye-wash stations are located.
5. Make sure the correct type of fire and/or safety equipment is nearby and ready for use.
6. Check to ensure adequate ventilation.
7. Know who to contact and what to do in an emergency situation.
8. Inform your supervisor or work colleague when and where you work with chemical.
9. Assemble PPE needed for the job and keep it nearby – study SDS or consult your supervisor for PPE requirements.
10. Get checked out by your supervisor.
11. Keep work area clean.

Do and for Working Safely with Chemicals
69
1. Do not leave chemical containers open when not in use.
2. Do not suck chemicals by mouth.
3. Do not think that all chemicals have specific odors. Some chemical vapors can be very hazardous and odorless.
4. Do not mix a chemical by yourself, even with water, without reviewing proper instructions because some chemicals may react with other chemicals and cause ignition or explosions.
5. Do not breathe gases produced from chemical reactions.
6. Do not pour water in acid.
7. Do not eat, drink or smoke around hazardous chemicals.
8. Do not store chemicals together, without reviewing SDSs for potential reactions.
9. Do not wear contact lenses in an area with presence of toxic vapors because the lenses will absorb those vapors.
