Safety Alert - #19-2009
Workers Injured by Explosions During Tank Maintenance

Release Date:  October 15, 2009
Function: Production Operations
Incident Date: September 2009 / July 2008
Incident Type: Fire and Explosion
Country and Region: Western Canada

Summary:
Two separate injury accidents occurred when electric impact wrenches ignited
vapour fumes inside a production tank while preparing to complete tank
maintenance / repair work.

Description of Incident:

In both instances, the manway doors were being removed to complete required tank
maintenance and repairs. Site hazard assessments were completed by the
supervisors in charge of the activity and identified the potential for an
explosive atmosphere as one of the hazards. While opening the manway door, the
workers removed the top half of a 2-part manway door and set it to the side.
While workers were removing the bottom half of the door, the electric impact
wrench they were using ignited the hydrocarbon fumes that were coming from
inside the tank. The workers injured in these incidents sustained first and
second degree burns.

Subject: [hazmat101] RCRA SQG+ refresher training - min. time req'd ?





Hi all!

I am trying to help out a local contractor doing some small lead paint
removal off of bridge abutments with a needle gun. He's looking for
RCRA annual refresher and OSHA lead annual refresher. I'm very familiar
with the OSHA requirements in 1926.62.

He mentioned getting previous RCRA refresher for a SQG+ from a trainer
and it was just a couple of hours long. I recall RCRA refreshers being
8-hour classes - but that just for an LQG, correct?

I've looked for a guidance doc on EPA's website to no avail. Any links
you can provide that indicates the requirements (including topics)
specifically for a non-fixed SQG+ would be helpful. Thanks! Be well,

[For those of you from "away", the plus in SQG+ is a Maine DEP
classification that allows a SQG to accumulate up to three 55-gallon drums.]

I don't think EPA places a requirement on how long the training must be. I
thought it was based more on content. I use Lion Tech every year (though we're a
LQG) and they're good.

Does anyone know if there is a PEL for Penicillum Mold??  i had air quality
tests done and found that the levels are 5 - 7 times higher indoors than
outside..  I do know that it is common for the mold to be higher indoor than
outside.  Any feed back is greatly appreciated..!  Thanks!

No, there is no PEL for penicillium or any other mold.  No basis for a limit is
known.  You're right that it is common to have a higher level indoors than
outdoors, and it is also common to have a higher level outdoors.  If you had
data to show the average levels in and out over a long period of time, you might
be able to conclude that there is some mold growth taking place within the
space, giving rise to a higher airborne level within the space.  If you just
have one test outdoors and one or a few indoors, you don't know.  You learn
more just by going through the space and inspecting it, looking for mold
growth.

I would strongly recommend that you look for all potential moisture sources in
your search.  Mold growth is typically associated with water leaks,
infiltration, etc.  Simply identifying the mold will not correct the root cause.

I have always liked Lions Technology to.  But they offer an advanced course
which quite frankly I think is a waste of my time.  I would love to go deeper
into severl subjects on HW.  I simply consider two days talking about underlying
hazardous constituents, boring, and confusing since they do not bother to
explain how or why to use this information.  I like their basic course much
better.



We sought out ERC several years ago when I was looking for an IATA/DOT course. 
They are also very good.  Where Lions concentrates on Hazardous Waste and
transportation, ERC offers a more varied curriculum.  We also wanted a change of
pace with another viewpoint.



In the last few years we have used local groups to teach these subjects,
Cleveland State University(my alma materJ), The University of Akron, The Dell
group and an expert from a local TSDF.



It helps to see other viewpoints.

Chris, I suggest you look at websites for the Texas State Department of Health,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health.  All have very practical, credible,
science-based treatments of the topics of indoor air mold health hazards,
remediation and investigation (including the limitations of testing and
challenges of interpreting results).  If you are having trouble, I know the
Minnesota Department of Health has excellent materials and links to others'
sites at www.health.state.mn.us<http://www.health.state.mn.us/> - just type
"mold" in the search box.

I would recommend the University of Findlay's School of Environmental &
Emergency Management (SEEM) refresher training.  I took it this past fall
on-line (like a net meeting where the instructor or you could continuously ask
questions and verbally interact).  Although it was convenient and cost effective
what I liked most is that it was taught by one of their professor's who is a
retired environmental lawyer.  I have >25 years of experience, compliance, etc.,
regarding RCRA/DOT refresher training classes and have tried refresher trainings
from allot of sources (like you I like the variety), but this was by far the
best annual refresher training that I have ever had.  See
http://www.seem.findlay.edu for more specific information, I don't know when
this class will be offered next...but I'm done looking/comparing.

Hello list mates,



In february I will be in New Zealand, to visit a friend - and see as much of
the country as possible. I would  like to spend some days on interesting
hazmat locations too, if possible (industry, fire depts., training school
etc). My aims: expand my hazmat knowledge and exchange experiences on
incidents.

Any suggestions?

Greetings Jetty



I would be delighted to assist with organizing your itinerary with
visits to some of our Members eg Methanex @ New Plymouth [methanol
manufacture], Evonik Degussa Peroxide @ Morrinsville, near Hamilton
[hydrogen peroxide manufacture] and others. Also the NZ Fire Service
Training College  @ Rotorua which is the heart of Maoridom and
incredible geothermal activity [a must see].



Also, your presence would be a great opportunity to hear your
experiences and advice which I have read here over the past years.  I
envisage the NZCIC hold a forum in Auckland [biggest region of industry]
plus also perhaps here in Wellington,our capital city.



What dates will you be available  ?



Kind wish

I always start with Google for MSDS searches.

Enter "MSDS" (without quotes) and either the brand name of the product or the
generic product name.

Google for "MSDS diesel fuel"
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=msds+diesel+\
fuel

Google for "MSDS gasoline"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=msds+gasoline&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10

If you know the manufacturer's website, you can try a Google "site" search:

The syntax is: "site:domain.ext MSDS" or "site:domain.ext MSDS productname"

there is NO SPACE between the colon after the word "site" and the website domain
and extension. You also don't need to put in "www." before the domain name.

Some manufacturers have removed MSDS from their websites (primarily because they
weren't keeping them current), or require registration logins to obtain them.

Environmental Protection Agency

40 CFR Part 112

Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule--Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: On December 5, 2008, EPA amended the Spill Prevention Control,
and Countermeasures (SPCC) rule to provide increased clarity with
respect to specific regulatory requirements, to tailor requirements to
particular industry sectors, and to streamline certain rule
requirements. The Agency subsequently delayed the effective date of
these amendments to January 14, 2010, to allow the Agency time to
review the amendments to ensure that they properly reflect
consideration of all relevant facts. EPA also requested public comment
on the delay of the effective date and its duration, and on the
December 2008 amendments. Having reviewed the record for the amendments
and the additional comments, EPA has decided to make only limited
changes to the amendments. With respect to the majority of the December
amendments, EPA is either taking no action or providing minor technical
corrections. EPA is, however, removing the following provisions in the
December 2008 amendments: the exclusion of farms and oil production
facilities from the loading/unloading rack requirements; the exemption
for produced water containers at an oil production facility; and the
alternative qualified facility eligibility criteria for an oil
production facility.

DATES: This final rule is effective on January 14, 2010.

Source: (USA) Federal Register: October 28, 2009

40 CFR Parts 9 and 63

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From
Petroleum Refineries

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends the national emission standards for
petroleum refineries to add maximum achievable control technology
standards for heat exchange systems. This action also amends the
general provisions cross-reference table and corrects section
references.

DATES: The final amendments are effective on October 28, 2009. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the final
rule amendments is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of October 28, 2009.

40 CFR Parts 51, 52, 70, and 71

Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse
Gas Tailoring Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to tailor the major source applicability
thresholds for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V programs of the Clean Air
Act (CAA or Act) and to set a PSD significance level for GHG emissions.
This proposal is necessary because EPA expects soon to promulgate
regulations under the CAA to control GHG emissions and, as a result,
trigger PSD and title V applicability requirements for GHG emissions.
If PSD and title V requirements apply at the applicability levels
provided under the CAA, State permitting authorities would be paralyzed
by permit applications in numbers that are orders of magnitude greater
than their current administrative resources could accommodate. On the
basis of the legal doctrines of ``absurd results'' and ``administrative
necessity,'' this proposed rule would phase in the applicability
thresholds for both the PSD and title V programs for sources of GHG
emissions. The first phase, which would last 6 years, would establish a
temporary level for the PSD and title V applicability thresholds at
25,000 tons per year (tpy), on a ``carbon dioxide equivalent''
(CO2e) basis, and a temporary PSD significance level for GHG
emissions of between 10,000 and 25,000 tpy CO2e. EPA would
also take other streamlining actions during this time. Within 5 years
of the final version of this rule, EPA would conduct a study to assess
the administrability issues. Then, EPA would conduct another
rulemaking, to be completed by the end of the sixth year, that would
promulgate, as the second phase, revised applicability and significance
level thresholds and other streamlining techniques, as appropriate.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before December 28,
2009. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, comments on the information
collection provisions are best assured of having full effect if the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) receives a copy of your comments
on or before November 27, 2009.
     Public Hearing: If anyone contacts us requesting to speak at a
public hearing on or before November 16, 2009, we will hold a public
hearing approximately 30 days after date of publication in the Federal
Register.

Hazardous Waste Management System: Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste: Conditional Exclusion From Hazardous Waste and Solid
Waste for Solvent-Contaminated Industrial Wipes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Data availability, management approaches, and request for
comment.

SUMMARY: This notice of data availability (NODA) invites comments on a
revised risk analysis supporting the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) proposed revisions to the Resource Conservation Recovery Act
(RCRA) hazardous waste regulations governing the management of solvent-
contaminated wipes. The revised analysis addresses public comments
received on the risk screening analysis conducted on EPA's 2003 Federal
Register proposal to exclude solvent-contaminated wipes from the RCRA
definitions of solid and hazardous waste. To address these comments,
EPA updated the data, models, and approach used in the risk analysis
and then had the product peer reviewed by outside experts. The revised
risk analysis, as well as the peer review comments and our response to
those comments are available in the docket for this NODA. The NODA also
invites comment on specific issues in light of the results of the
revised risk analysis.

DATES: Comments must be received within December 28, 2009.

Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating a regulation to require reporting of
greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors of the economy. The final
rule applies to fossil fuel suppliers and industrial gas suppliers,
direct greenhouse gas emitters and manufacturers of heavy-duty and off-
road vehicles and engines. The rule does not require control of
greenhouse gases, rather it requires only that sources above certain
threshold levels monitor and report emissions.

DATES: The final rule is effective on December 29, 2009. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule
is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of December 29, 2009.

Consumer Advisory:  Toyota Announces Recall of 110,000 Tundra Pickups for
Excessive Corrosion; Motorists Should Remove Spare Tires From the Underbody

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today alerted owners
of certain Toyota Tundra vehicles to remove spare tires mounted underneath the
body of the vehicle.   Excessive corrosion due to "road salts" can cause the
rear cross- member of the vehicle frame to fail and allow the spare tire to fall
onto the roadway at any time, creating a road hazard for other vehicles.

Toyota has just announced a recall of these vehicles, but NHTSA recommends that
owners remove the spare tires even before taking the vehicles to the dealers to
be remedied.

In addition, the corrosion may also cause damage to the rear brake lines and
lead to brake system failures.

The safety recall involves 110,000 Toyota Tundras for model years 2000 through
2003 that are registered in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.  These states
typically use chemical de-icers, such as road salts, to treat the roadways in
winter weather.

Toyota will contact owners of all affected vehicles and ask that they bring the
vehicles to a local dealer to be inspected and remedied.  Based on the extent of
the corrosion, Toyota will either apply a corrosion-resistant compound to the
affected area or replace the rear cross-member if necessary.  In the event that
the rear cross-member cannot be replaced, Toyota will develop a remedy for those
vehicles.

Toyota also announced it will notify owners of model year 2000 through 2003
Tundras registered outside of the recalled states and perform the same
inspection and repair if the owners desire.

Until the recalled vehicles are brought in, NHTSA urges owners to remove the
spare tires to prevent them from falling onto the roadway.  NHTSA also advised
to avoid being under the spare tire or rear cross-member while removing it.  If
the spare tire is moved to the truck bed or to another location in the vehicle,
owners should make sure that it is properly secured.

I can't withhold responding to this e-mail...WAY TO GO TOYOTA!!!  I have a 2002
Chevy Silverado Pick-Up that I love and a 2009 Toyota Prius for the family
(wife's) car.  We have never owned a Toyota before, I wish the U.S.
manufacturers stood behind their product like the Japanese do, integrity does
count.

Let's put this into perspective.  Toyota issued a major recall due to the
driver's side floor mats on my Prius.  While I had transmission problem with a
truck that had <50,000 miles on it, and oh, bye the way the frame brackets are
disintegrating on it as I am writing this e-mail, but when a dealer was
performing routine service on my truck several years ago (before the 50,000 mile
service) I was told that "the transmission is normal/OK", but less than a month
later, I was told by an independent transmission expert tells me what a problem
I really have and it was 72 miles out of warranty!

PLEASE let Toyota keep making trucks.  When I can no longer afford to drive my
paid-off truck, I know who I will be buying from!  Considering a vehicle is the
second most expensive purchase a consumer makes, behind a home...I want a
company that will stand behind their product and fix it when justified under
warranty and needed... let's see a floor mat recall on my Prius vs. a major
transmission repair on my truck.  Which would you rather pay for or have the
manufacturer stand behind?  I do have to give credit, GM did stand behind a
replacement engine when I bought a brand new Olds 88 off of the lot and the
engine blew with <13,000 miles on it, which I think was only because I could
justify every oil change, alignment, complaint, follow-up, etc. (I felt like I
had been arrested and prosecuted to prove it).  But GM did stand behind it and
closed the Olds line altogether!  We use a tremendous amount of salt in Ohio,
recognizing that it causes salt isn't new and I have to give Toyota credit for
recognizing the problem developed and addressing it.  I wish I would have taken
pictures of the multiple vehicles that I have owned that disintegrated before my
eyes.  Integrity does count...especially when it is for that much of my money!!!
NHTSA wants spare tires removed to prevent them from falling off...Hey, what
about the bumpers/leaf spring brackets that I've had on fall off of my trucks,
with no recalls provided!  Someone should thank Toyota, I know I will someday! 
Please LET me buy another!!!
Integrity still counts!!!

I own a 2009 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton truck.  I received a call back for a
potential problem with a diagnostic bag under the driver's seat leaking and
getting salt water inside which could mess up the diagnostics.
I'm completely satisfied with this truck plus I've been a Chevy truck owner
for 30 years.
My last Chevy truck had a manufacturers defect with one of the engine heads.
The truck was out of warranty by 15k miles but GM replaced both heads at no
cost to me.

Nothing wrong with that service

Rick
