Appendix A
Material Safety Data Sheet
Introduction
No matter where you deploy, chances are you will use a HM. You should know the hazards associated with the materials you use. Environmental and safety laws require chemical manufacturers to provide this information on a form called a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Important information about the HMs you use is listed on this form. There are various
versions of the MSDS, however each version contains the same basic information. There should be one of these forms for every chemical in each area where HMs are located.
Material Safety Data Sheet Contents
MSDSs give you the details on the dangers associated with HMs. The MSDS also provides you with information on safety procedures to use when handling HMs or when faced with an emergency situation.
With this information you can
Protect yourself
Protect your buddies
Store materials safely
REACT to spills correctly.
Although they contain technical information, you do not need to be an expert to get the information you need. This handbook will show you where to get important information. The following pages show sections of an actual MSDS pulled from the internet. In this case, the MSDS is for an oil product.
Identity Information
In case you need more information than the MSDS contains, the identity section gives you the name and address of the company that makes the HM. It also includes the phone numbers to call for information in an emergency.

Physical / Chemical Characteristics
This section contains information to help you identify the substance (such as its appearance and odor). It also contains information about whether the HM dissolves or floats in water, and its boiling point (BP).
The BP tells you whether the product will produce vapors at room temperature. If the number is lower than 70°F vapors are a problem and you should use the product in a well ventilated area or wear a respirator.
If the weight of the HM (also known as specific gravity) is defined as less than 1, the product will float in water while a number greater than 1 indicates the product will sink. This is import to consider for fire fighting purposes.
Vapor density tells you whether the fumes from the product will rise to the ceiling (numbers less than 1) or sink to the floor (numbers greater than 1). Products with vapor pressures greater than 10 mm are an explosive hazard.
Physical/Chemical Characteristics
Appearance And Odor: AMBER COLORED OIL, SLIGHT ODOR. Boiling Point:>600;
Specific Gravity:1.0003 Solubility In Water: INSOLUBLE; Vapor Density: >1
Fire / Explosion Hazard Data
This section tells you how to REACT in case of a fire or explosion. It lists things such as fire-fighting equipment and procedures required in case of fire. You should carefully read the information on flash point. The flash point is the temperature at which the material could ignite if a spark is present.
Fire and Explosion Hazard Data

Health Hazards Data
This section informs you how HMs can enter your body (such as through inhaling, skin contact or ingestion). The threshold limit value (TLV) tells you how hazardous the product is and whether the product requires special ventilation. The letters PPM stand for Parts Per Million. Generally the lower the ppm number the more hazardous the product is to your health.
TLVs greater than 100 ppm are generally safe to use and store indoors, while those with numbers less than 100 ppm require ventilation systems or can only be used and stored outside.

Conclusion
All MSDSs do not look alike. There are various versions of the MSDS form, however, each version contains the same basic information. The MSDS provides you with the most important information you need to know concerning the hazards of a particular HM. You should read the MSDS before you start any job using HMs. You should also know where to find the MSDSs for the HMs you use in your work area.

Additional Information Resources
During deployment, equipment and personnel are constantly on the move. Some of your supplies may not have been delivered yet. And in some cases, you may not have packed the right materials to carry out your mission. When you need help managing HM/HW, the following resources can assist you with your needs.
1.Materials
Most deployments involve movement of your unit and equipment through various staging areas and transient base camps until you reach your final position. These camps have either a military commander, or perhaps a "mayor" who can tell you where to obtain the basic construction materials needed to provide the simple secondary containment and other preventive measures that you require.
In a modern military deployment, there are a host of military and civilian contingents that can help support your HM/HW program. Some of these organizations include:
# US Navy SEABEE construction teams
# US Air Force RED HORSE construction units
# US Army Engineer battalions
# Civilian contractors building base camps
They can provide you with the items you need for the short term.
Another source is your Field Ordering Officer (FOO) and Class A Agent. These soldiers have the responsibility of ordering low cost items necessary for your unit to operate in the field. You must be sure that the FOO understands that the use of these materials is required to comply with your orders to protect the environment.
2.Technical Personnel
When you are not sure what should be done, you can always request assistance from various technical personnel. Each base camp or transient location should have access to qualified environmental personnel.
# Base Camp Commander or Mayors office. Depending on the technical need, they should be able to refer you to the civilian or military person with the technical expertise you require. If this does not work, follow the chain of command.
# U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Office or a Base Camp Construction Agency (BCCA). Generally, base camps are supported by either a Corps of Engineers Field Office or a Base Camp Construction Agency (BCCA). These people act in a capacity similar to the Department of Public Works (DPW) at home station. They are there to assist your Unit accomplish its mission successfully.
# Civilian contractor. It is recommended that you go through your chain of command first before contacting a contractor. However, these civilians are there to provide operational and support services. They are usually under contract to provide HM/HW disposal services and have technically qualified personnel on their staff.
# Headquarters. Your next higher headquarters should have access to the US Army Corps of Engineers technical expert for environmental matters who is directly responsible for your deployment.
3.Reference Material
# This handbook. In Appendix D there is a list of applicable Technical Manuals, Regulations and Policies. If you need more information, look further in this book.
# Technical Personnel. For a specialized problem, contact the on-site or in- country technical personnel as detailed above. They may have access to the material that you need.
# U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Office or a Base Camp Construction Agency (BCCA). These folks have reference material and information gained from other contingency operations and are ready and willing to provide you with this data.
# Internet. If you have access to a computer and the Internet, the US Department of Defense publishes useful technical information on the Internet. Be sure to visit the Defense Environmental Network and Information Exchange (DENIX) at http://www.denix.osd.mil and the DoD Environmental Resources homepage at http://www.dtic.mil/envirodod/dodenvir.html. See Appendix D for further Internet addresses, including where you can access MSDSs.

Army Regulations
There are two types of laws that may apply to you in contingency operations: FEDERAL and HOST NATION. Federal Laws are enacted by Congress and enforced by agencies like the U.S. Army. Therefore, U.S. Army regulations are based on federal laws. Relevant regulations include:
Army Regulation 200-2 describes how environmental considerations influence planning and decision making.
Army Regulation 200-3 the Army Natural Resource management plan, including threatened and endangered species.
Each base camp should have an environmental SOP that combines all environmental law and regulations into a single set of environmental guidelines. The SOP should tell you how to comply with the law. Environmental SOP`s are based on the guidelines specified in the regulations.
Important Federal Environmental Laws
The Army's environmental regulations are based on federal law. There are seven environmental laws that apply to your everyday activity. They include:
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
Clean Air Act
Clean Water Act
National Historic Preservation Act
Endangered Species Act
Federal Facilities Compliance Act
