HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE ESTIMATION ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE Industrial Hygienist NFO/ AMSO/ North Las Vegas, NV 89030 arnold. ferguson@nnsa. doe. gov 702 295 0844
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: • Understand “hazardous atmosphere” • Understand the uses and limitations of the spreadsheet • Become familiar with sources of information for spreadsheet • How to input data into spreadsheet • How to interpret results of spreadsheet ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
PRIMARY USES OF SPREADSHEET A. Determine if confined space contains a “hazardous atmosphere” B. Determine ventilation requirements to control a “hazardous atmosphere” C. Determine if modification of usage rate would negate a “hazardous atmosphere” D. Determine respiratory protection needs in a confined space or for new product E. Estimate exposure concentration (odor, new product, etc) ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
PERTINENT REGULATIONS A. Respiratory Protection 29 CFR 1910. 134(d)(1)(iii) … Where the employer cannot identify or reasonably estimate the employee exposure, the employer shall consider the atmosphere to be IDLH. ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
PERTINENT REGULATIONS B. Confined Space 29 CFR 1910. 146(b) [Definitions] "Hazardous atmosphere" means an atmosphere that may expose employees to the risk of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self rescue (that is, escape unaided from a permit space), injury, or acute illness from one or more of the following causes: (1) Flammable gas, vapor, or mist in excess of 10 percent of its lower flammable limit (LFL); … (4) Atmospheric concentration … which could result in employee exposure in excess of its dose or permissible exposure limit; NOTE: An atmospheric concentration of any substance that is not capable of causing death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self rescue, injury, or acute illness due to its health effects is not covered by this provision. . . ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
PERTINENT INFORMATION C. OSHA Letter of Interpretation 03/26/1999 for 29 CFR 1910. 146(b) …an atmosphere that contains a substance at a concentration exceeding a permissible exposure limit intended solely to prevent long-term adverse health effects is not considered to be a hazardous atmosphere on that basis alone. Therefore, if the atmosphere is above the PEL, then it would not automatically be classified as a "hazardous atmosphere". ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
ASSUMPTIONS • • • Flash evaporation of liquids is worst case. Confined space does not have any contaminants leeching into atmosphere Previous air sampling data would override estimate from spreadsheet Application rate and ventilation rate would be over same time frame and uniform Ventilation is a control for a “hazardous atmosphere, ” not elimination. Chemical mixtures have additive effects for determination of IDLH Chemicals without an OEL, LEL or IDLH are not included in the spreadsheet Lower Explosive Limit is the same as Lower Flammable Limit Vapors have uniform mixing in the space. ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
LIMITATIONS • Not for use in previously contaminated environments • Not for particulates, inorganics, or organic compounds that act as particulates for sampling (specifically diisocyantes) REQUIREMENT • NO, but it may be a valuable tool RECOMMENDATION • For QA, manually perform calculations at least once to validate spreadsheet ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
SOURCES OF INFORMATION • Activity using the chemicals 1. Product to be used by Manufacturer and Part # and amount of each Part 2. Application rate • Facility Blueprints 1. Dimensions of space 2. Dimensions of any large object in space ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
SOURCES OF INFORMATION • Safety Data Sheets 1. Organic chemicals in Product 2. Weight fraction of chemical in Product (use higher weight fraction) 3. Density or Specific Gravity of Product • NIOSH Pocket Guide 1. Molecular weight of each chemical 2. LEL of each chemical 3. IDLH of each chemical ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
SOURCES OF INFORMATION • Internet o Search for chemicals not shown in Pocket Guide for possible LEL or IDLH (for example: benzyl alcohol, CAS 100 51 6, LEL= 1. 3% from Fxxxxx Sxxxxxxx and MW = 108. 1) • OSHA PEL / ACGIH TLV o Applicable OEL ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844

For cylinders, use length and diameter (put 0 in non used blocks). b. Obtain chemical, weight of paint per gallon, Specific Gravity (S. G. ), and weight % (normally the higher % even if exceed 100%) from MSDS. Use either S. G. or weight. c. Obtain Molecular Weight (MW), Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), and Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) limit from NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards Multiply %LEL from Pocket Guide by 1000 to get 10% LEL in ppm or by 0. 1 to get 10%LEL. Use table at right to convert from % to ppm. (for example, ethyl benzene has a 1. 2%LEL. Multiply by 0. 1 to get 0. 12%LEL. From table, 0. 12%LEL is 1200 ppm. ) For chemicals not listed in the Pocket Guide, check internet for MSDS for specific chemical's LEL or IDLH level. If a component does not have an established LEL or IDLH, enter 0 in MW and N. E. in 10%LEL and IDLH columns. d. Assumes flash evaporation as a worst case. Previous sample data should override these calculations if for similar operation. e. Enter the amount in one of 4 columns to determine total gallons. The amount should be the quantity of concern (normally per day/shift or per hour). The time frame needs to be the same as for ventilation. f. Obstruction would be a tank or similar item inside confined space that would occupy a significant volume. g. Columns with YELLOW heading require input in order to be included in calculations. Rows with PINK shading are available for calculations without expanding the matrix. h. Ventilation is the continuous forced air for the space to aid in controlling the gas or vapor. The use of ventilation does not eliminate the hazardous atmosphere, but controls it. i. Per OSHA definition of hazardous atmosphere, the level cannot be IDLH or impede self rescue without ventilation. If not a hazardous atmosphere, space might not be permit confined space. j. Calculations for %LEL of mixture use LEL of each chemical, not 10% LEL, even though 10% LEL entered. k. Calculations for gas and vapor, not particulates.

ANOTHER USE COMMENTS Comments of Operation: mix ratio 2 A: 1 B. . From D. Terrell, GXPL, 4 mixes of 18 oz used in 30 minutes for total operation. Operation occurred in mid January 2016. Other ingredients in Sherwin Williams 840 DTM Part A (B 65 B 840)and Part B (B 65 V 840) did not have IDLH, %LEL or OEL established for the vapor, except diisocyanates. Diisocyanates from Part A have an extremely low vapor pressure and react with compounds from Part B or water vapor (near 100%). Ingredients without IDLH and %LEL were not included in calculations. Acceptable since IDLH, 10% LEL, and OEL would not be potentially exceeded without ventilation. Respiratory Protection is not required. ARNOLD FERGUSON, CIH, CSP, PE 702 295 0844
