The following disciplines that interface with occupational safety

DOE-STD-1160-2003

e. Describe relationships and hazards associated with chemicals in a confined space entry

and how their presence could dictate the confined space designation. Describe a

proper confined space program including entry precautions and procedures.

Discuss hazards associated with chemical incompatibilities and need for segregation

and containment.

g. Discuss first aid and emergency response considerations for operations involving

hazardous chemicals.

h. Describe methods by which toxic compounds may enter the body and the control

mechanisms available to block these routes of entry.

Analyze processes or operations to identify potential chemical hazards and appropriate

control measures.

Describe general considerations for the storage and use of different classes of

explosives and blasting agents, including the construction, capacity, and placement of

facilities or operations.

k. Discuss use of and considerations regarding chemical monitoring and sampling

techniques.

Discuss other aspects of physical agents (e.g., noise, lasers, hot/cold, and radio

frequency waves) in the working environment, and associated procedures, precautions,

and controls.

m. Discuss major elements of a hazard communication program, laboratory safety

program, and process safety management program.

16. Occupational safety personnel shall demonstrate a working-level knowledge of the

use and function of worker protection safety testing and measurement equipment.
