300. TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. (7-1-97)

01. Scope: (7-1-97)

a. The use and exposure to toxic and to hazardous substances shall conform to all other applicable requirements of this standard, as well as the following provisions. Nothing in this standard shall be construed to prohibit better or otherwise safer conditions than specified herein. (7-1-97)

02. Definitions: For definitions of terms used in this section, see sub-section 010 of this standard. (7-1-97)

03. General Requirements: (7-1-97)

a. Rules and Regulations of the State Department of Health and Welfare shall be complied with by every employer and shall be enforced as provided for by law. (7-1-97)

b. Any type of paint, solvent, or cleansing liquids containing toxic additives shall have a label on each and every box, package or container showing thereon the name and type of such ingredients and/or toxic additives and the amount of each. (7-1-97)

c. The requirements and procedures for specific materials/substances are contained is other sections of this standard. (7-1-97)

04. Prohibited use of Cyanide or Cyanide Mixtures: (7-1-97)

a. Use of compounds containing dimethylomano-propionitrile, or bis (2 dimethylamino, ethyl, ether), in the sewer grout process, is hereby prohibited. (7-1-97)

b. The term bis (2-dimethylamionom ethyl, ether) shall also include compounds referred to as 2,2' oxybis (N, N dimethylethylamine). (7-1-97)

c. The term dimethylamenopropionitrile shall also include compounds referred to as 3 - (dimethylamino) propionitrile. (7-1-97)

05. Air contaminants: (7-1-97)

a. An employee's exposure to any material listed in Table 300.05-A, of this section shall be limited in accordance with the requirements of the following sub-section. (7-1-97)

b. An employee's exposure to any material in Table 300.05-A, the name of which is preceded by a "C" (Ceiling Value) shall at no time exceed the ceiling value given for that material in the table. If instantaneous monitoring is not feasible, then the ceiling shall be assessed as a fifteen (15) minute time weighted average exposure which shall not be exceeded at any time during the working day. (7-1-97)

c. An employee's exposure to any material in Table 300.05-A, the name of which is not preceded by "C", in any eight (8) hour work shift of a forty (40) hour work week, shall not exceed the eight (8) hour weighted average given for that material in the table. (7-1-97)
