HOUSE KEEPING
• Practicing good housekeeping in laboratories on a routine daily basis reduces
risks, protects the integrity of experiments, and provides work areas free of
significant sources of contamination.
• Always keep the laboratory neat and free of clutter. Surfaces should be cleaned
and free of infrequently used chemicals, glassware and equipment. Do not block
sinks, eyewashes, emergency showers and fire extinguishers
• Provide a workplace that is free of physical hazards. Aisles and corridors should
be free of tripping hazards. Attention should be paid to electrical safety,
especially as it relates to the use of extension cords, proper grounding of
equipment, avoidance of overloaded electrical circuits and averting the creation
of electrical hazards in wet areas.
• Individuals using common equipment and facilities shall clean up after use.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION
STANDARD (HazCom)
WHAT IS HAZCOM?
•Information provided to employees about the chemical hazards they
encounter in the workplace
•Gives employees the right to know what they are exposed to and
protect themselves accordingly
HAZCOM
Newest changes to Hazard Communication Standard
Aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification
and Labeling of Chemicals
What is GHS?
System for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labeling
of chemicals
Defining hazards of chemicals
Creating classification processes
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Right to know and Right to understand
HAZCOM PICTOGRAMS AND LABELS
• GHS pictogram identifies hazardous chemicals and warns workers of their
potential dangers
• The label (on the next slide) provides information to the workers on the
specific hazardous chemical. While labels provide important information for
anyone who handles, uses, stores, and transports hazardous chemicals, they
are limited by design in the amount of information they can provide. Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs), which must accompany hazardous chemicals, are the
more complete resource for details regarding hazardous chemicals. The
revised standard also requires the use of a 16-section safety data sheet
format, which provides detailed information regarding the chemical.
SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS) LAYOUT
Formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Presented on a consistent user-friendly 13-section format
• Sections 1-8 contain general information about the chemical
• Sections 9-11 and 16 contain other technical and scientific information
• SDS shall contain Sections 12-15 to be consistent with the GHS but are not
required by OSHA
GHS AND SDS
CONCEPT OF SDS WITH GHS
• SDS are in use globally
• Useful to have understanding of
the similarities and differences in
the existing MSDS/SDS content
and format
• Provides comprehensive
information for use in workplace
chemical management
SAMPLE SDS
LABELING
Labels for hazardous chemical
must contain:
• Name, Address and Telephone
Number
• Product Identifier
• Signal Word
• Hazard Statement(s)
• Precautionary Statement(s)
• Pictogram(s)
All hazardous chemicals shipped
after June 1, 2015 must be labeled
with these specific elements

What is a Hazardous Waste?
A hazardous material is any solid, liquid, or contained
gaseous material that is capable of producing harmful
physical or health effects and pose a threat to the
environment.
When these materials are ready to be
discarded, they become a hazardous
waste that must be managed
according to established guidelines.
Proper Disposal of Hazardous Waste
Never discard unwanted chemicals in the sink or floor
drain (unless you are certain they are not hazardous and have been authorized to
do so.)
EHS will pick up un-wanted hazardous materials from
your work site.
◦ Call 351-1149 or 351-4002 for information and to arrange a pick-up.
◦ Fill out and turn in Hazardous waste tag
Materials Management
Label
Label
Label EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Properly label
◦ “hazardous waste” and material
◦ Date generated and Generator
Filling out the Hazardous Waste Tag
Generator Name
Department, Building Name, Room Number
What is the product name?
•More important – what is the chemical(s) in the product?
What percent of the chemical is in the waste? Example:
25% water 75% methanol
What type and size of container is the product stored?
Example: 2L, glass
Leave original tag on container.
•Turn in copy to Environmental Health and Safety
MINORS IN THE LAB
• Faculty and staff are directly responsible for compliance with the Minors in
Laboratory Policy and for the safety of all minors who are approved to be in
laboratories under this policy.
• Minors under the age of 14 are prohibited from entering the laboratory unless
when participating in a tour approved by the University during which the minor
students are supervised during their presence in such laboratories.
• A “laboratory” refers to any part of a facility used or intended to be used by the
University for Scientific, Technical, Arts, and Health activities which may be
hazardous.
• Mandatory forms and supporting documentation for minors (ages 14-17) and
their parents/guardians shall be reviewed to identify the risks found in laboratory
areas.
• Release and indemnification for Minors in Laboratories shall be completed before
minors enter a laboratory. The college or department shall keep these documents.
•In additional to laboratory safety training, additional training requirements may
HEALTH EFFECTS
• TOXINS- Toxic materials are substances that may cause harm to
an individual if it enters the body. The routes for exposure are
inhalation, skin contact and ingestion. The health effects may
occur immediately (acute) or could be delayed (chronic).
• Toxins are also any poison produced by an organism,
characterized by antigenicity in certain animals and high
molecular weight, and including the bacterial toxins that are the
causative agents of tetanus, diphtheria, etc., and such plant and
animal toxins as ricin and snake venom.
• Remember that toxic materials can have other hazards for
example, a toxic material may also be corrosive and flammable.
Always read the SDS and labels to understand what is in the
product and how to work with it safely. If you are unsure of the
product and do not understand the instructions, always ask the
laboratory supervisor.
HEALTH EFFECTS
• CORROSIVES- Corrosive chemicals include acids, bases, oxidizing
agents, and dehydrating agents. Secondary containment such as
plastic tubs or bottle carriers should be used.
• Corrosives should be stored away from metals, flammables, and
oxidizing materials. If a spill occurs it is important to understand
that proper clean-up may involve neutralization with an
appropriate complementary compound.
• Add acid to water. Never add water to acid.
• Corrosives can burn and destroy body tissues on contact. The
stronger and/or more concentrated the corrosive material is and
the longer it touches the body, the greater the injuries can be.
Always refer to the SDS to check the health hazards the chemical
can cause.
HEALTH EFFECTS
ACIDS
• Initial Appearance is a good measurement of damage
• Strong acids tend to precipitate a protein barrier that prevents further
penetration into the tissues
CAUSTICS
• Will produce more Serious Injuries
• Caustics are more serious because they are capable of burning, corroding or
even destroying living tissue. Always wear the appropriate PPE that would
prevent any acid or caustic burn
OXIDIZERS
• Acute Health Effects – Some oxidizers, such as nitric and sulfuric acid vapors,
may cause inflammation in the surface layer of tissues when in direct
contact, they can also cause irrigation to upper airways and respiratory track
• Chronic Health Effects – May cause hematological and neurological changes,
liver and kidney disease and lung cancer
HEALTH EFFECTS
• CRYOGENIC LIQUIDS (Dry ice)-are liquefied gases that are kept
in their liquid state at very low temperatures. The word
"cryogenic" means "producing, or related to, low
temperatures," and all cryogenic liquids are extremely cold.
• Cryogenic liquids have boiling points below -150°C (- 238°F)
(Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, which have slightly higher
boiling points are sometimes included in this category)
• Cryogenic Hazards-Frostbite, asphyxiation, Permanent eye
damage and death
• Types of Cryogenic Liquids-Inert Gas, Flammable Gases and
Oxygen
• When working with dry ice eye protection, thermal protection
gloves, closed toed shoes, long pants and sleeves should be
worn
-
HEALTH EFFECTS
• RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS – Radioactive
materials pose a unique risk to researchers and
laboratory personnel. Radioactive material can
result in increased morbidity and mortality even
if direct contact never occurs
• Only attempt to correct or remedy hazardous
situations with radiological material if you have
been trained to do so, otherwise notify the
PI/Lab Supervisor.
• If a radiological spill occurs, remove all
personnel from the area to a safe location. Use
safety showers and eyewash station if
appropriate.
•Notify UNC Police Department of any
radiological spill or releases.
HEALTH EFFECTS
• BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS – Biological Hazardous
materials is any biological material capable of causing
harm to humans, animals or plants. This includes
human waste products, animals, bacteria, fungi,
parasites, prions, viruses, etc. The only acceptable
treatment for biological waste at UNC is autoclaving.
Autoclaving should be performed to the extent that
no portion of the container remaining is untreated.
• Departments that are autoclaving waste shall
maintain a written log on all waste that is autoclaved.
• This log shall contain the name of the operator,
date, time, approximate weight or volume of waste
autoclaved and the temperature of the material.
• Materials that cannot be autoclaved shall be
disposed of through Environmental Health and Safety
CHEMICAL LABELING
All chemicals must be
labeled….even water!
CHEMICAL EXPOSURES
Threshold Limit Value (TLV) – are guidelines (not standards)
prepared by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists, Inc. (ACGIH) to assist Industrial Hygienists in making
decisions regarding safe levels of exposure to various hazards
found in the workplace. TLV reflects the level of exposure that the
typical worker can experience without an unreasonable risk of
disease or injury. TLVs are not quantitative estimates of risk at
different exposure levels or by different routes of exposure.
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) – is the maximum amount
or concentration of a chemical that a worker may be exposed to
under OSHA regulations.
Time-Weighted Average (TWA) – is the average exposure of a
person during eight hours to an airborne chemical hazard.
Short-term Exposure Limit (STEL) – a concentration to which a
person can be exposed continuously for a short period of time.
ACIDS/ALKALIS & HAZARDS
• Strong bases will soak into the tissue as long as they remain in contact
with skin or eyes (causing serious injury to the cornea of the eye)
• Depending on strength of acid/alkali this could be an irritant/harmful
(blistering of skin) or even corrosive (destroys skin) if there is contact
• Goggles, proper gloves and lab jackets should be worn at all times.
Wash hands or affected area immediately if acid/alkali touches skin
CRYOGENIC LIQUIDS & LIQUID
GASES
Dangers of Cryogenic Liquids & Liquid Gases:
• affixation
• explosion
• skin freeze “burns/frostbite”
• Poison (hydrogen cyanide can permeate the skin - serious injury or death.)
Precautions – To a minimum, always use this PPE handling Cryogenic
Liquids/Gases:
• Face shield
• Heavy gloves (not for submersion)
• Lab coat
CHEMICAL SPLASH
•Should a serious Chemical Splash contact your eyes or skin:
•Call for help by yelling while proceeding to nearest eyewash or shower (helpers
should call 911).
•Flush for at LEAST 15-20 minutes removing clothing from body, and holding eyes
open in eyewashes.
•Check victim for shock (helpers wear gloves to protect from contamination).
•Seek medical assistance.
Hospital may not take a contaminated victim unless HazMat has
decontaminated the victim first.
For serious (dependent) chemical exposure, always proceed to an
EMERGENCY ROOM for medical evaluation -- TAKE SDS along!!
• Concentrated solutions
• Alkalis & highly toxic (skin absorption)
• Large coverage of body part.
LIQUID NITROGEN
When handling Liquid Nitrogen be aware
Large Spill: What to do?
• Evacuate area until ventilation can restore oxygen levels
• Emergency personnel enter area only with SCBA
• Allow to evaporate
• Skin Contact:
Asphyxiation – Inhaling liquid nitrogen can cause:
• Nausea, drowsiness, blue coloration of the skin and lips, unconsciousness,
and death
Without the proper gloves or goggles when handling Liquid Nitrogen
frostbite can occur through the skin/eyes
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Goggles, face shields, or safety glasses (which one is needed)
Lab coat and proper clothing
The right gloves (appropriate material)
• cut resistant, burn resistant, impermeable to product used, good barrier to hazard.
• Glove selection should be apply to the chemical you are using. As a reference, review the SDS
Respirators (NIOSH approved) – Receive medical approval and fit testing before use
Never wear any loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair tied back
Lab PPE shall NOT be worn outside of a laboratory. This reduces
the spread of contamination
CLOTHING &
SHOES
Lab coats and aprons protect major portions of the body
from chemical contact. They allow for easy removal unlike
street clothes
If you use a lab coat, use a coat especially made of
materials resistant to chemicals in use
Hang lab coats in lab area, never wear outside a lab, to
avoid risks of contamination.
Remember your feet! Keep your feet protected with close
toe shoes and if needed use shoe covers
GLOVES & GLOVE SELECTION
Choose glove types. Refer to the SDS.

EYE PROTECTION
Eye protection is required when
working in laboratories. Using the
appropriate eye protection is
critical.
Goggles, eye glasses and face
masks will assist in preventing
fumes or particles as well as
liquids from entering your eyes.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
As a reminder ALWAYS
use PPE even if the
project you’re working on
does not pose a threat.
Consider yourself an
example to others and
always wear your
personal protection
equipment.
EYE WASH & SHOWER
Before beginning work in a laboratory, know the location
of the closest safety shower and/or eye wash station.
Know how to operate it!
EYE WASHES
• Flush any splash for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes.
• If you are allowed to wear contact lenses, make sure your goggles
have a red dot on the left side of the goggles. In the event of an
accident the instructor or student will know that you wear contacts.
• Contacts may not be able to be removed, continue to flush the eye if
the contact is not able to be removed.
RESPIRATORS
• Any person requiring a respirator will need to complete annually, a medical
questionnaire and fit test prior to using a respirator.
• Type of Mask (paper, full and half mask)
• All respirators should be NIOSH approved
• Type of Filter Cartridge (particulates)
• Storage of respirator and shelf life of cartridges
• Thresholds (pel & odor) or SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus)
RESPIRATORS
• Medical monitoring and fit testing is required for any facial changes such as:
dental work, weight loss or weight gain.
• Regular Fit Tests – Any person using a respirator is required to complete a
medical evaluation and fit test annually
• Respirators come in full face and half mask, there are different types of
cartridges. Always check the shelf life of the cartridge and if it is out of date, then
discard it. Refer to the SDS of the chemical to find out the type of respirator and
cartridge that is needed. This will determine if a certain mask has the ability to
withstand the threshold such as the permissible exposure limit and odor.
• NISOH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards - http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/
• Cleaning, Maintenance – Use an alcohol wipe to clean after use, periodically
disassemble your respirator, and wash in warm soapy water. Air dry by laying out
the respirator parts. Do not towel dry.
UNDERSTANDING THE NFPA
PLACARDS
NFPA PLAQUARD
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 Diamond system
was designed to identify the risks posed by hazardous materials, and
helps determine the equipment needed to follow the procedures and
precautions taken during an emergency response. This placard is the
standard maintained by the U.S National Fire Protection Associations.
The color determines the hazard:
• Blue diamond determines the Health Hazard
• Red diamond determines the Flammability/Fire Hazard
• Yellow determines the instability/reactivity of the chemical
• White diamond determines the specific hazard
You will find these placards on the chemical SDS and are also on
laboratory containers and doors.
Q. What does the white segment mean
here?
The white segment signifies: “ No Water”
A scenario in which you may see this may be alkali
sodium metals. Some metals that are reactive with
water are lithium, sodium, and rubidium
FUME HOODS
•Fume Hoods are not a storage area! Never store items in front of the
fume hood or on the fume hood counter!!!
•Ensure proper face velocity
•Lower shield to proper elevation – When finished with the fume hood
always lower the shield.
•Use a fume hood for procedures that might result in the release of
hazardous chemical vapors or dust. Always check that the hood is working
before using by holding a kimwipe or other lightweight paper up to the
opening of the hood. If the hood is working properly the paper will be
pulled towards the hood. Do not place objects directly in front of the
fume hood as this can disrupt the airflow and draw contaminants out of
the hood.
FUME HOODS
• Ensure the fume hood is operating – Be aware of safety switches &
remote operation of the fume hood
• When in use, keep the hood sash pulled down as low as practical. The
sash should be at or below 18 inches at all times. When the hood is not in
use, pull the sash all down (closed)
• If the fume hood is in alarm, contact Facilities Management (351-2446)
and submit a work request.
EMERGENCIES IN THE LAB
CHEMISTRY LAB FIRE
A bottle of flammable liquid broke inside the fume hood next to a
hot plate. Portable fire extinguishers were ineffective. Other
improperly stored chemicals ignited, adding more fuel to the fire.
EMERGENCIES IN THE LAB
Becoming familiar with the answer to these questions is imperative.
• Do you know what to do in case of an emergency in the lab?
• Do you have an emergency lab plan and how well do you know it?
• How well do you communicate the emergency lab plan information?
• Does everyone know the emergency procedures?
• Have you rehearsed the emergency lab plan response?
• Do you know the emergency exit routes?
• Do you know who to call should a lab emergency occur?
Refer to the laboratory supervisor if you are unsure.
GRADUATE STUDENTS
Advisors are responsible for ensuring the safety of their graduate students
Provide them with:
• Hazcom / GHS and other required training
• PPE and proper care instructions for lab aprons, goggles and gloves
• Emergency Response Procedure Instructions
• An Activity-Specific Safety Plan (customized for the work to be anticipated.)
BLEEDING
Should you be faced with assisting someone who is bleeding in the lab:
• Call UNC Police Department – 911 or 351-2245
• Protect yourself from Blood Born Pathogens by wearing gloves
• Apply direct pressure with gauze pad or clean cloth
• Do not remove blood-soaked dressings. Add another dressing on top
FIRST AID KITS
•Should be accessible to ALL laboratory personnel within the area.
•Items in the First Aid Kit should be consistent with the injuries that are
probable in the laboratory.
POISONINGS
If exposed to a poison do the following:
• Call 911 first, then call the Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222
• Do as instructed by the Poison Control Center until Emergency Medical
Services arrive
GAS LEAK
•If you suspect that there is a gas leak or smell of an egg like odor, then it
may be a gas leak.
•Gas is odorless and can be difficult to detect
•Ensure lights are turned off
•Evacuate the room or facility
•Call UNC Police Department at 911 or 351-2245.
• If it is safe to do so, warn others in the area about the situation.
FIRE GUIDELINES
• Never block, even temporarily, building evacuation routes and exits
• Evacuate the building if the fire alarm sounds or a fire exists
• Close doors behind you as you exit your work areas or laboratory
• Evacuate quickly and calmly, by the way of the nearest exit, to a safe
distance from the building
• If you are with a group or class, stay with your group
• Do not re-enter the building until the all clear has been given
For additional information visit the UNC Emergency Preparedness and
Safety website at http://www.unco.edu/emergencymanagement/
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
• In the event of a fire, activate the fire alarm and stay calm
• ONLY use the fire extinguisher if the fire can easily be extinguished and
you are standing between the exit and the fire.
• If the fire cannot be extinguished with a fire extinguisher, then
evacuate the building. The Pl/Lab Supervisor should be able to guide all
lab personnel to the nearest fire exit and be knowledgeable of
evacuation procedures. Go to the nearest Designated Evacuation
Staging Area.
• UNC Police Department should be contacted at 911 or 351-2245
SPILL KITS
•Minor Spills – If you have been trained to respond, if necessary, use a
spill clean up kit to control the spilled material. If you have not been
trained, notify your supervisor or UNC Police Department.
•It is the responsibility of all laboratory personnel to be aware of the
hazards from chemicals being used. If lab personnel suspect that a spill
cannot be remedied with a spill clean up kit or doing so would pose a
risk to their health, they should contact UNC Police Department.
SPILL KITS
• Major Spills – If a major spill or hazardous chemicals occurs it should be
reported to a laboratory supervisor as quickly as possible. Notify
persons in the vicinity of the spill, evacuating all people from the spill
area and adjoining areas that may be impacted by potential vapors. Do
not attempt to clean the spill.
***If spilled material is classified as flammable, turn offer any potential
ignition sources, avoid breathing vapors of the spilled materials. Be
aware that some materials can be odorless or have odors that are
briefly detectable. Labs will need to be evacuated and professionally
cleaned

Laboratory Safety by UNCO

  • 1. Laboratory Safety UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN COLORADO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT WWW.UNCO.EDU/FACILITY
  • 2. OVERVIEW • House Keeping • Hazard Communications (HazCom) • Minors in the Lab • Health Effects of Chemical Hazards & Biological Hazards • Safety Hazards • Personal Protection Equipment • Fume Hoods • Emergencies and Non Emergencies in the Laboratory • Fire Extinguishers • Spill Kits • Lab Safety Inspection Forms
  • 3. HOUSE KEEPING • Practicing good housekeeping in laboratories on a routine daily basis reduces risks, protects the integrity of experiments, and provides work areas free of significant sources of contamination. • Always keep the laboratory neat and free of clutter. Surfaces should be cleaned and free of infrequently used chemicals, glassware and equipment. Do not block sinks, eyewashes, emergency showers and fire extinguishers • Provide a workplace that is free of physical hazards. Aisles and corridors should be free of tripping hazards. Attention should be paid to electrical safety, especially as it relates to the use of extension cords, proper grounding of equipment, avoidance of overloaded electrical circuits and averting the creation of electrical hazards in wet areas. • Individuals using common equipment and facilities shall clean up after use.
  • 5. WHAT IS HAZCOM? •Information provided to employees about the chemical hazards they encounter in the workplace •Gives employees the right to know what they are exposed to and protect themselves accordingly
  • 6. HAZCOM Newest changes to Hazard Communication Standard Aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals What is GHS? System for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labeling of chemicals Defining hazards of chemicals Creating classification processes Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Right to know and Right to understand
  • 7. HAZCOM PICTOGRAMS AND LABELS • GHS pictogram identifies hazardous chemicals and warns workers of their potential dangers • The label (on the next slide) provides information to the workers on the specific hazardous chemical. While labels provide important information for anyone who handles, uses, stores, and transports hazardous chemicals, they are limited by design in the amount of information they can provide. Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), which must accompany hazardous chemicals, are the more complete resource for details regarding hazardous chemicals. The revised standard also requires the use of a 16-section safety data sheet format, which provides detailed information regarding the chemical.
  • 8.
  • 9. SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS) LAYOUT Formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) • Presented on a consistent user-friendly 13-section format • Sections 1-8 contain general information about the chemical • Sections 9-11 and 16 contain other technical and scientific information • SDS shall contain Sections 12-15 to be consistent with the GHS but are not required by OSHA
  • 10. GHS AND SDS CONCEPT OF SDS WITH GHS • SDS are in use globally • Useful to have understanding of the similarities and differences in the existing MSDS/SDS content and format • Provides comprehensive information for use in workplace chemical management SAMPLE SDS
  • 11. LABELING Labels for hazardous chemical must contain: • Name, Address and Telephone Number • Product Identifier • Signal Word • Hazard Statement(s) • Precautionary Statement(s) • Pictogram(s) All hazardous chemicals shipped after June 1, 2015 must be labeled with these specific elements
  • 12. SDS AND GHS cont.. Effective Dates June 1, 2015 • Compliance with all modified provisions December 1, 2015 • Distributor shall not ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer unless it is a GHS label June 1, 2016 • Update all workplace labeling and hazard communication program as necessary http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/index.html http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/international/globalharmon.htm https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/hazardcommunications/ghsoverview.ppt To learn more about the Global harmonized System copy and paste the above websites
  • 13. What is a Hazardous Waste? A hazardous material is any solid, liquid, or contained gaseous material that is capable of producing harmful physical or health effects and pose a threat to the environment. When these materials are ready to be discarded, they become a hazardous waste that must be managed according to established guidelines.
  • 14. Proper Disposal of Hazardous Waste Never discard unwanted chemicals in the sink or floor drain (unless you are certain they are not hazardous and have been authorized to do so.) EHS will pick up un-wanted hazardous materials from your work site. ◦ Call 351-1149 or 351-4002 for information and to arrange a pick-up. ◦ Fill out and turn in Hazardous waste tag
  • 15. Materials Management Label Label Label EVERYTHING!!!!!! Properly label ◦ “hazardous waste” and material ◦ Date generated and Generator
  • 16.
  • 17. Filling out the Hazardous Waste Tag Generator Name Department, Building Name, Room Number What is the product name? •More important – what is the chemical(s) in the product? What percent of the chemical is in the waste? Example: 25% water 75% methanol What type and size of container is the product stored? Example: 2L, glass Leave original tag on container. •Turn in copy to Environmental Health and Safety
  • 18. MINORS IN THE LAB • Faculty and staff are directly responsible for compliance with the Minors in Laboratory Policy and for the safety of all minors who are approved to be in laboratories under this policy. • Minors under the age of 14 are prohibited from entering the laboratory unless when participating in a tour approved by the University during which the minor students are supervised during their presence in such laboratories. • A “laboratory” refers to any part of a facility used or intended to be used by the University for Scientific, Technical, Arts, and Health activities which may be hazardous. • Mandatory forms and supporting documentation for minors (ages 14-17) and their parents/guardians shall be reviewed to identify the risks found in laboratory areas. • Release and indemnification for Minors in Laboratories shall be completed before minors enter a laboratory. The college or department shall keep these documents. •In additional to laboratory safety training, additional training requirements may
  • 19. HEALTH EFFECTS • TOXINS- Toxic materials are substances that may cause harm to an individual if it enters the body. The routes for exposure are inhalation, skin contact and ingestion. The health effects may occur immediately (acute) or could be delayed (chronic). • Toxins are also any poison produced by an organism, characterized by antigenicity in certain animals and high molecular weight, and including the bacterial toxins that are the causative agents of tetanus, diphtheria, etc., and such plant and animal toxins as ricin and snake venom. • Remember that toxic materials can have other hazards for example, a toxic material may also be corrosive and flammable. Always read the SDS and labels to understand what is in the product and how to work with it safely. If you are unsure of the product and do not understand the instructions, always ask the laboratory supervisor.
  • 20. HEALTH EFFECTS • CORROSIVES- Corrosive chemicals include acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and dehydrating agents. Secondary containment such as plastic tubs or bottle carriers should be used. • Corrosives should be stored away from metals, flammables, and oxidizing materials. If a spill occurs it is important to understand that proper clean-up may involve neutralization with an appropriate complementary compound. • Add acid to water. Never add water to acid. • Corrosives can burn and destroy body tissues on contact. The stronger and/or more concentrated the corrosive material is and the longer it touches the body, the greater the injuries can be. Always refer to the SDS to check the health hazards the chemical can cause.
  • 21. HEALTH EFFECTS ACIDS • Initial Appearance is a good measurement of damage • Strong acids tend to precipitate a protein barrier that prevents further penetration into the tissues CAUSTICS • Will produce more Serious Injuries • Caustics are more serious because they are capable of burning, corroding or even destroying living tissue. Always wear the appropriate PPE that would prevent any acid or caustic burn OXIDIZERS • Acute Health Effects – Some oxidizers, such as nitric and sulfuric acid vapors, may cause inflammation in the surface layer of tissues when in direct contact, they can also cause irrigation to upper airways and respiratory track • Chronic Health Effects – May cause hematological and neurological changes, liver and kidney disease and lung cancer
  • 22. HEALTH EFFECTS • CRYOGENIC LIQUIDS (Dry ice)-are liquefied gases that are kept in their liquid state at very low temperatures. The word "cryogenic" means "producing, or related to, low temperatures," and all cryogenic liquids are extremely cold. • Cryogenic liquids have boiling points below -150°C (- 238°F) (Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, which have slightly higher boiling points are sometimes included in this category) • Cryogenic Hazards-Frostbite, asphyxiation, Permanent eye damage and death • Types of Cryogenic Liquids-Inert Gas, Flammable Gases and Oxygen • When working with dry ice eye protection, thermal protection gloves, closed toed shoes, long pants and sleeves should be worn -
  • 23. HEALTH EFFECTS • RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS – Radioactive materials pose a unique risk to researchers and laboratory personnel. Radioactive material can result in increased morbidity and mortality even if direct contact never occurs • Only attempt to correct or remedy hazardous situations with radiological material if you have been trained to do so, otherwise notify the PI/Lab Supervisor. • If a radiological spill occurs, remove all personnel from the area to a safe location. Use safety showers and eyewash station if appropriate. •Notify UNC Police Department of any radiological spill or releases.
  • 24. HEALTH EFFECTS • BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS – Biological Hazardous materials is any biological material capable of causing harm to humans, animals or plants. This includes human waste products, animals, bacteria, fungi, parasites, prions, viruses, etc. The only acceptable treatment for biological waste at UNC is autoclaving. Autoclaving should be performed to the extent that no portion of the container remaining is untreated. • Departments that are autoclaving waste shall maintain a written log on all waste that is autoclaved. • This log shall contain the name of the operator, date, time, approximate weight or volume of waste autoclaved and the temperature of the material. • Materials that cannot be autoclaved shall be disposed of through Environmental Health and Safety
  • 25. CHEMICAL LABELING All chemicals must be labeled….even water!
  • 26. CHEMICAL EXPOSURES Threshold Limit Value (TLV) – are guidelines (not standards) prepared by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, Inc. (ACGIH) to assist Industrial Hygienists in making decisions regarding safe levels of exposure to various hazards found in the workplace. TLV reflects the level of exposure that the typical worker can experience without an unreasonable risk of disease or injury. TLVs are not quantitative estimates of risk at different exposure levels or by different routes of exposure. Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) – is the maximum amount or concentration of a chemical that a worker may be exposed to under OSHA regulations. Time-Weighted Average (TWA) – is the average exposure of a person during eight hours to an airborne chemical hazard. Short-term Exposure Limit (STEL) – a concentration to which a person can be exposed continuously for a short period of time.
  • 27. ACIDS/ALKALIS & HAZARDS • Strong bases will soak into the tissue as long as they remain in contact with skin or eyes (causing serious injury to the cornea of the eye) • Depending on strength of acid/alkali this could be an irritant/harmful (blistering of skin) or even corrosive (destroys skin) if there is contact • Goggles, proper gloves and lab jackets should be worn at all times. Wash hands or affected area immediately if acid/alkali touches skin
  • 28. CRYOGENIC LIQUIDS & LIQUID GASES Dangers of Cryogenic Liquids & Liquid Gases: • affixation • explosion • skin freeze “burns/frostbite” • Poison (hydrogen cyanide can permeate the skin - serious injury or death.) Precautions – To a minimum, always use this PPE handling Cryogenic Liquids/Gases: • Face shield • Heavy gloves (not for submersion) • Lab coat
  • 29. CHEMICAL SPLASH •Should a serious Chemical Splash contact your eyes or skin: •Call for help by yelling while proceeding to nearest eyewash or shower (helpers should call 911). •Flush for at LEAST 15-20 minutes removing clothing from body, and holding eyes open in eyewashes. •Check victim for shock (helpers wear gloves to protect from contamination). •Seek medical assistance. Hospital may not take a contaminated victim unless HazMat has decontaminated the victim first. For serious (dependent) chemical exposure, always proceed to an EMERGENCY ROOM for medical evaluation -- TAKE SDS along!! • Concentrated solutions • Alkalis & highly toxic (skin absorption) • Large coverage of body part.
  • 30. LIQUID NITROGEN When handling Liquid Nitrogen be aware Large Spill: What to do? • Evacuate area until ventilation can restore oxygen levels • Emergency personnel enter area only with SCBA • Allow to evaporate • Skin Contact: Asphyxiation – Inhaling liquid nitrogen can cause: • Nausea, drowsiness, blue coloration of the skin and lips, unconsciousness, and death Without the proper gloves or goggles when handling Liquid Nitrogen frostbite can occur through the skin/eyes
  • 31. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Goggles, face shields, or safety glasses (which one is needed) Lab coat and proper clothing The right gloves (appropriate material) • cut resistant, burn resistant, impermeable to product used, good barrier to hazard. • Glove selection should be apply to the chemical you are using. As a reference, review the SDS Respirators (NIOSH approved) – Receive medical approval and fit testing before use Never wear any loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair tied back Lab PPE shall NOT be worn outside of a laboratory. This reduces the spread of contamination
  • 32. CLOTHING & SHOES Lab coats and aprons protect major portions of the body from chemical contact. They allow for easy removal unlike street clothes If you use a lab coat, use a coat especially made of materials resistant to chemicals in use Hang lab coats in lab area, never wear outside a lab, to avoid risks of contamination. Remember your feet! Keep your feet protected with close toe shoes and if needed use shoe covers
  • 33. GLOVES & GLOVE SELECTION Choose glove types. Refer to the SDS.

  • 34. EYE PROTECTION Eye protection is required when working in laboratories. Using the appropriate eye protection is critical. Goggles, eye glasses and face masks will assist in preventing fumes or particles as well as liquids from entering your eyes.
  • 35. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE) As a reminder ALWAYS use PPE even if the project you’re working on does not pose a threat. Consider yourself an example to others and always wear your personal protection equipment.
  • 36. EYE WASH & SHOWER Before beginning work in a laboratory, know the location of the closest safety shower and/or eye wash station. Know how to operate it!
  • 37. EYE WASHES • Flush any splash for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes. • If you are allowed to wear contact lenses, make sure your goggles have a red dot on the left side of the goggles. In the event of an accident the instructor or student will know that you wear contacts. • Contacts may not be able to be removed, continue to flush the eye if the contact is not able to be removed.
  • 38. RESPIRATORS • Any person requiring a respirator will need to complete annually, a medical questionnaire and fit test prior to using a respirator. • Type of Mask (paper, full and half mask) • All respirators should be NIOSH approved • Type of Filter Cartridge (particulates) • Storage of respirator and shelf life of cartridges • Thresholds (pel & odor) or SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus)
  • 39. RESPIRATORS • Medical monitoring and fit testing is required for any facial changes such as: dental work, weight loss or weight gain. • Regular Fit Tests – Any person using a respirator is required to complete a medical evaluation and fit test annually • Respirators come in full face and half mask, there are different types of cartridges. Always check the shelf life of the cartridge and if it is out of date, then discard it. Refer to the SDS of the chemical to find out the type of respirator and cartridge that is needed. This will determine if a certain mask has the ability to withstand the threshold such as the permissible exposure limit and odor. • NISOH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards - http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/ • Cleaning, Maintenance – Use an alcohol wipe to clean after use, periodically disassemble your respirator, and wash in warm soapy water. Air dry by laying out the respirator parts. Do not towel dry.
  • 41. NFPA PLAQUARD The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 Diamond system was designed to identify the risks posed by hazardous materials, and helps determine the equipment needed to follow the procedures and precautions taken during an emergency response. This placard is the standard maintained by the U.S National Fire Protection Associations. The color determines the hazard: • Blue diamond determines the Health Hazard • Red diamond determines the Flammability/Fire Hazard • Yellow determines the instability/reactivity of the chemical • White diamond determines the specific hazard You will find these placards on the chemical SDS and are also on laboratory containers and doors.
  • 42. Q. What does the white segment mean here?
  • 43. The white segment signifies: “ No Water” A scenario in which you may see this may be alkali sodium metals. Some metals that are reactive with water are lithium, sodium, and rubidium
  • 44. FUME HOODS •Fume Hoods are not a storage area! Never store items in front of the fume hood or on the fume hood counter!!! •Ensure proper face velocity •Lower shield to proper elevation – When finished with the fume hood always lower the shield. •Use a fume hood for procedures that might result in the release of hazardous chemical vapors or dust. Always check that the hood is working before using by holding a kimwipe or other lightweight paper up to the opening of the hood. If the hood is working properly the paper will be pulled towards the hood. Do not place objects directly in front of the fume hood as this can disrupt the airflow and draw contaminants out of the hood.
  • 45. FUME HOODS • Ensure the fume hood is operating – Be aware of safety switches & remote operation of the fume hood • When in use, keep the hood sash pulled down as low as practical. The sash should be at or below 18 inches at all times. When the hood is not in use, pull the sash all down (closed) • If the fume hood is in alarm, contact Facilities Management (351-2446) and submit a work request.
  • 47. CHEMISTRY LAB FIRE A bottle of flammable liquid broke inside the fume hood next to a hot plate. Portable fire extinguishers were ineffective. Other improperly stored chemicals ignited, adding more fuel to the fire.
  • 48. EMERGENCIES IN THE LAB Becoming familiar with the answer to these questions is imperative. • Do you know what to do in case of an emergency in the lab? • Do you have an emergency lab plan and how well do you know it? • How well do you communicate the emergency lab plan information? • Does everyone know the emergency procedures? • Have you rehearsed the emergency lab plan response? • Do you know the emergency exit routes? • Do you know who to call should a lab emergency occur? Refer to the laboratory supervisor if you are unsure.

  • 52. POISONINGS If exposed to a poison do the following: • Call 911 first, then call the Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222 • Do as instructed by the Poison Control Center until Emergency Medical Services arrive
  • 53. GAS LEAK •If you suspect that there is a gas leak or smell of an egg like odor, then it may be a gas leak. •Gas is odorless and can be difficult to detect •Ensure lights are turned off •Evacuate the room or facility •Call UNC Police Department at 911 or 351-2245. • If it is safe to do so, warn others in the area about the situation.
  • 54. FIRE GUIDELINES • Never block, even temporarily, building evacuation routes and exits • Evacuate the building if the fire alarm sounds or a fire exists • Close doors behind you as you exit your work areas or laboratory • Evacuate quickly and calmly, by the way of the nearest exit, to a safe distance from the building • If you are with a group or class, stay with your group • Do not re-enter the building until the all clear has been given For additional information visit the UNC Emergency Preparedness and Safety website at http://www.unco.edu/emergencymanagement/
  • 55. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS • In the event of a fire, activate the fire alarm and stay calm • ONLY use the fire extinguisher if the fire can easily be extinguished and you are standing between the exit and the fire. • If the fire cannot be extinguished with a fire extinguisher, then evacuate the building. The Pl/Lab Supervisor should be able to guide all lab personnel to the nearest fire exit and be knowledgeable of evacuation procedures. Go to the nearest Designated Evacuation Staging Area. • UNC Police Department should be contacted at 911 or 351-2245
  • 56. SPILL KITS •Minor Spills – If you have been trained to respond, if necessary, use a spill clean up kit to control the spilled material. If you have not been trained, notify your supervisor or UNC Police Department. •It is the responsibility of all laboratory personnel to be aware of the hazards from chemicals being used. If lab personnel suspect that a spill cannot be remedied with a spill clean up kit or doing so would pose a risk to their health, they should contact UNC Police Department.
  • 57. SPILL KITS • Major Spills – If a major spill or hazardous chemicals occurs it should be reported to a laboratory supervisor as quickly as possible. Notify persons in the vicinity of the spill, evacuating all people from the spill area and adjoining areas that may be impacted by potential vapors. Do not attempt to clean the spill. ***If spilled material is classified as flammable, turn offer any potential ignition sources, avoid breathing vapors of the spilled materials. Be aware that some materials can be odorless or have odors that are briefly detectable. Labs will need to be evacuated and professionally cleaned

Notas do Editor

  1. Educate yourself on learning the various hazards and health effects of chemicals in the lab and the effects that they can have it improperly used. It is always worth the extra five or ten minutes it takes to go over the chemical Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each chemical(s) that is being handled.
  2. Take note of these steps to take should a chemical splash occur. Keep in mind that a hospital may require that a contaminated victim go through a decontaminated process first. However take the victim to an emergency room and if possible bring the SDS of the chemical that the victim was working with.
