Comprehensive Hazardous Material Inspection and Hazard Communication MSDS Compilation

EnviroMed Services performed a comprehensive hazardous materials inspection of all the sites and vehicles that are part of Wallingford Electric Division. The inspection included all buildings, office spaces, vehicles that would store and use chemicals and products needed in the daily operation of Wallingford Electric.

EnviroMed inspectors explained to Wallingford Electrical Division Department Heads that the scope of work would be to compile a materials list of all chemicals and products in their buildings and vehicles, record the number and quantity of that chemical and product and then collect the material safety data sheets for all of the chemicals and products, and set up Hazard Communication stations where material safety data sheets will be located in alphabetical order if employees ask to review those sheets.

EnviroMed Services also provides Hazard Communication Standard Right to know training for all employees of Wallingford Electric to assure that employees and Department Heads know the regulations and the right to know by providing and making available information regarding the chemicals and products that are used during operations of Wallingford Electric Division.

EnviroMed Services provides training on the “old” Hazard Communication Standard but also is training Wallingford Electric Division personnel on the “new” Hazard Communication Standard known as Global Harmonized System and the collection of Safety Data Sheets to replace the current Material Safety Data Sheets.

The task of completing a comprehensive inventory of MSDS Sheets required on-site field audits of each facility in order to identify all products currently utilized.  Each manufacturer was contacted and updated MSDS Sheets were entered into both the electronic and manual copy (on-site) files.  Conversion of the MSDS Sheets to the new GHS standard is in process as well as the necessary updated training and product labeling
