SUMMARY:Assessing & Updating Lab Safety Protocols for Methylene Chloride Compliance
DESCRIPTION:The recently published EPA TSCA final rule on methylene chloride bans most uses of this chemical. Laboratory handling is permitted only if potentially exposed persons are covered by a compliant Workplace Chemical Protection Program (WCCP). This includes requirements for exposure assessment and a significantly lower action level and occupational exposure limits than required by the OSHA Methylene Chloride standard (29 CFR 1910.1052). This workshop is intended to provide attendees with information necessary to meet the requirements of this regulation or to knowledgably engage with a qualified industrial hygienist to perform sampling and develop the necessary Exposure Control Plan. Topics covered in this presentation will include a review of and discussion about: \n\nThe health hazards associated with methylene chloride\nRequirements of a Workplace Chemical Protection Program (WCCP) and timeline for implementation\nThe application of OSHA standards in the laboratory environment as required by the WCCP\nDeveloping a sampling plan to characterize exposures to methylene chloride\nControl strategies for managing exposure to methylene chloride in the laboratory\nDeveloping and Exposure Control Plan\nMaintaining the program documentation necessary for compliance\n\n\nTweet
