Safety and Hazardous Materials

The Accident Prevention Plan can be found on the www.cptc.edu website at http://cptc.edu/risk/occupational-health-safety . Accidents should be immediately reported to a college staff member or security at 253-589-5682 and an Accident/Injury Report completed. Some program areas utilize materials which are classified as hazardous chemicals.

The Occupational Safety Health Act (OSHA) Communication Standard 1910.120, and the State of Washington Right to Know Statutes require that chemicals be appropriately labeled and that the college has on file a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each of the hazardous chemical products being packaged, handled, or transferred. The SDS provides a description of how the identified chemical is to be handled and is readily available in case of an emergency, or upon request.

Questions or concerns regarding hazardous chemicals should be referred to program faculty for further information.
