Workplace/Community Characterization
• What is the process?• Activities?• Raw materials?• Products?• By-products?• Waste products?• Processing aids?
#BEAC11#E:\PHOTO_CD\IMAGES\IMG0023.PCD923432924748948122439948122439PB400482552180

Process Description
Sources of Information– International Labor Organization: Encyclopedaedia of
Occupational Health and Safety, 3rd Edition, Geneva: ILO, 1983.
– Burgess, WA: Recognition of Health Hazards in Industry, New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1995.

Process Description
• Dry Cleaning– washing and degreasing by non-aqueous
solvents of natural and synthetic fibers, furs, leather goods, etc.
– dirt is removed in washing machines by means of a solvent which is thereafter extracted from the fabrics by centrifuging followed by drying in tumbling machines
![Page 13: Source and Hazard Identification and Characterization](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56813187550346895d97fc06/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Process Description
• Dry Cleaning (continued)– finished by steam pressing– stains may be “hand spotted”– solvents are recovered for further use by means
of filtration, adsorption, and distillation– solvent vapor may enter the workroom (and
atmosphere), especially where there is manual handling of goods
![Page 14: Source and Hazard Identification and Characterization](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56813187550346895d97fc06/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 16: Source and Hazard Identification and Characterization](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56813187550346895d97fc06/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Waste Products
• Dry Cleaning
– grease, dirt, etc. with some waste solvent– air emissions– ground emissions– water emissions
![Page 17: Source and Hazard Identification and Characterization](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56813187550346895d97fc06/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Processing Aids
• Dry Cleaning– machinery used to wash, centrifuge, and dry
clothing– in some cases, these machines are all separate– newer machines perform all tasks (reducing
solvent release)
![Page 18: Source and Hazard Identification and Characterization](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56813187550346895d97fc06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hazard Identification
• Dry Cleaning– perchloroethylene
– “hand spotting” agents (benzene, chloroform,etc)
– heat, humidity
– machine hazards (acute trauma)
– material handling (acute and cumulative trauma)
– noise
– steam presses (burns)
![Page 19: Source and Hazard Identification and Characterization](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56813187550346895d97fc06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
