WSR 10-18-082
[ Filed August 31, 2010, 3:20 p.m. ]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 296-800-370 Definitions and 296-800-15030 Make sure emergency washing facilities are functional and readily accessible.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This rule making will change the definition of "corrosive" in chapter 296-800 WAC, Safety and health core rules, so that it is identical to the definition of "corrosive" in Table 5 of chapter 296-839 WAC, Content and distribution of material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and label information. A reference also needs updating to reflect the most current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) emergency eyewash and shower equipment standard.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This rule making will make the definition of "corrosive" consistent throughout the division of occupational safety and health (DOSH) rules and update the ANSI eyewash and shower equipment reference to reflect the most current 2009 version.
OTS-3507.1
WAC 296-800-15030 Make sure emergency washing facilities are functional and readily accessible. You must:
• You can determine whether chemicals in your workplace require emergency washing facilities by looking at the material safety data sheet (MSDS) or similar documents. The MSDS contains information about first-aid requirements and emergency flushing of skin or eyes.
Note: • If water in emergency washing facilities is allowed to freeze, they will not function correctly. Precautions need to be taken to prevent this from happening.
• For further information on the design, installation, and maintenance of emergency washing facilities, see American National Standards Institute (ANSI) publication Z358.1 - ((1998)) 2009, Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment. Emergency washing facilities that are designed to meet ANSI Z358.1 - ((1998)) 2009 also meet the requirements of this standard. The ANSI standard can be obtained from the American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018.
Reference: • Training in the location and use of your emergency washing facilities is required under the employer chemical hazard communication rule, WAC 296-800-170, and the accident prevention program rule, WAC 296-800-140.
