30 PAMPHLET 1 6.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 6.2.1 Availability and Use There is a potential for exposure to chlorine whenever chlorine is handled, stored, or used. If chlorine is used in widely separated locations, personal protective equipment should be available near each use point. Personal protective equipment (PPE) for emergency use should be available away from areas of likely contamination. CI Pamphlet 65 (11.1) provides recommendations on appropriate PPE for specific tasks including loading/unloading, initial line entry, material sampling, and emergency response. 6.2.2 Respiratory Equipment Respiratory equipment should be selected based on evaluation of hazards and degree of potential exposure. The need to protect the eyes from chlorine should be part of the evaluation of appropriate respiratory equipment. See CI Pamphlet 65 (11.1). All personnel entering areas where chlorine is stored or handled should carry or have immediately available appropriate respiratory protection. A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), with full face piece, is required for performing tasks when chlorine may be present unless air sampling verifies the chlorine concentration is such that a lower level of respiratory protection is sufficient. Fit testing and regular maintenance programs for respirator equipment are necessary. Documented, regularly scheduled training is required to assure competency with self- contained breathing apparatus (29 CFR 1910). 6.2.3 Minimizing Chlorine Inhalation Risk During activities that have the potential to release chlorine, such as line breaking, leak investigation, hose connecting, taking samples, loading/unloading, returning equipment to chlorine service, or other maintenance activities, consideration should be given to ensure adequate personal protection is implemented and maintained throughout the activities. For individuals directly involved, requirements for donning personal protective equipment in relation to job progression should be specified along with conditions to downgrade, if desired, including confirmation that concentrations are below permissible exposure limits. Adjacent, downwind, or potentially impacted areas should be evaluated for risk of exposure to individuals not directly involved. Consideration should be given to limiting/restricting access to the areas and communication of higher risk activity throughout the area (area announcement, barricades, operational attendance, etc.). 6.3 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY Confined space entry procedures must comply with all applicable local codes and regulations. The OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.146 must be adhered to by most facilities in the United States.PDF Image | Chlorine Basics 8
