Chemical Safety Hazards at Production and Treatment Sites
At most of our Production and Treatment facilities, we use or create chemicals that can cause serious illness/injury to the respiratory system and skin – Chlorine gas – Sulfur Dioxide gas – Corrosive materials – Strong Oxidizers – Natural gas production – Laboratory Wastes – Other chemicals

SAWS has Many Hazard Controls in Place
• Risk Management Plan • Chemical Storage Buildings • Gas Leakage Detection • Gas Scrubbing at some Large Facilities • Security Systems and Monitoring • Emergency Response Training

Chlorine/Sulfur Dioxide
• Chlorine provides disinfection for drinking water and waste water
• Sulfur dioxide neutralizes chlorine at waste water treatment facilities
• Both are severe irritants to eyes/nose/lungs
– Can be lethal at relatively low concentrations

Chlorine and Sulfur Dioxide are Stored in DOT-approved Containers
• Heavier than air and tends to settle in low spots • Reacts readily with water vapor in air to make acid • Pungent, irritating odor

HazMat Emergency – Production Sites
• Observe the wind sock • Travel up wind away from site • Shelter in a nearby building • Call EOC (233-2015) for S.A. Fire Dept response • If no building readily available, use vehicle for
shelter; close/seal windows/vents; drive away • For more information: Chlorine Release Fact Sheet
If you hear or see the storage building alarm system, or detect an irritating odor:

HazMat Emergencies – Treatment Plants
• Observe the wind sock; travel upwind away from the storage building
• Go to the closest shelter-in-place building – Ask your supervisor where the shelters are
• Keep building doors closed/turn off vents • Call Emergency Operations at 233 - 2015

First Aid for Chlorine and Sulfur Dioxide Gases
• Decontaminate skin/clothing
with lots of water; remove contaminated clothing
• Wash eyes with water for 15 minutes
• Call 911 for ambulance • Give CPR if not breathing
(use a one-way valve if available) • Keep victim calm; reassure

Other Chemical Hazards • Natural gas (Produced in Digesters)
– Explosive in high concentrations, may also contain hydrogen sulfide (affects central nervous system)
• Environmental Services Lab – Hydrogen (explosive) and Nitrogen (asphyxiant) – Laboratory Wastes (affects central nervous system)

Chemical Safety for Contractors
First Aid for Asphyxiants and Central Nervous System Effects:
• Move to fresh air – If employee cannot self-rescue, then rescuer must wear
air-supplied respirator • Consult MSDS
• If employee is conscious, but has persistent symptoms (confused, dizzy, weak, euphoric, headache, nausea): – Keep calm and warm, transport for medical care
• If employee is/was unconscious: – Start CPR if not breathing – Get immediate medical attention (911)
