by Safety, Health, and Environment (Key Terms)
Air purifying respirator: mechanically filters or absorbs airborne
contaminants.
Air purifying respirator: provides the user with a contaminant-free
air source.
Department of transportation (DOT): governmental agency empowered
to regulate the transportation of goods on our public roads and
highways.
Emergency response: a written plane that documents
how specific individuals respond during and emergency situation.
First responder: the first tow levels of emergency response as
described by HAZWOPER 29 CFR 1910.120.The first responder awareness
and operations levels have a series of structured responsibilities.
The awareness level teaches a technician how to recognize a
hazardous chemical release, the hazards associated with release,
and how to initiate the emergency response procedure. The operations
level teaches a technician how to safely respond to a release and
prevent its spread.
HAZCOM: hazard communication; the HAZCOM standard, known
as '' workers' right to know,'' ensures that process technicians
can safely handle, transport, and store chemicals.
Lock-out, tag-out: a term used to describe a procedure for locking
out and tagging equipment that falls under the control of hazardous
energy, 29 CFR 1910.147.
Permit system: a regulated system that uses a variety of permits for
various applications. The more common applications are cold work,
hot work, confined space entry, opening/blinding, permit to enter,
and lock-out, tag-out.
Personal protective equipment (PPE): equipment used to protect a
technician from hazards found in plant. OSHA and EPA have identified
four levels of PPE that could be required during an emergency
situation. Level A provides the most protection while level D
requires the least.
Physical hazard: a term applied to a chemical that statistically
falls into one of the following categories: combustible liquid,
compressed gas, explosive or flammable, organic peroxide, oxidizer,
pyrophoric, unstable, or water reactive.
Process safety management (PSM) standard: designed to prevent the
catastrophic release of toxic, hazardous, or flammable materials
that could lead to a fire, explosive, or asphyxiation.
Respiratory protection: a standard designed to protect employees
form airborne contaminants.
Air purifying respirator: mechanically filters or absorbs airborne
contaminants.

air source.
