Slide 24
Letter from the Dean of CAS
Slide 25
General Procedures Anybody who wishes to perform any course
work in a chemistry lab shall first receive the proper safety
training (CHP and SAPs overviewed). Pets are not allowed in the
CPSB. Chemicals, equipment, cultures, specimens and other
university property may not be removed from the premises without
the expressed written consent of the laboratory manager.

Slide 26
Laboratory Safety Keep labs clean and orderly. The number of
students permitted to each lab shall never exceed the number of
stations available in the laboratory. Children, friends, and
visitors are not allowed in laboratories without the expressed
written permission of the laboratory coordinator and notification
of the laboratory manager and Department Chair. Horseplay and
unauthorized experiments are strictly forbidden.

Slide 27
Laboratory Safety If an experiment has special safety
considerations not covered in these SAPs, the instructor of the
class and the lab manual shall instruct students explicitly on how
to safely perform the experiment and appropriately discard waste.
Wipe spills immediately. If the spill involves hazardous materials
notify your instructor immediately. Inform classmates of the spill
and make sure that they avoid the area.
Slide 28
Laboratory Safety Deposit waste in the appropriate receptacles.
Glass should be disposed of in glass disposal boxes only. Hazardous
chemicals should be disposed of in special, labeled waste
containers in the fume hood(s). Non-toxic, non-hazardous aqueous
solutions with a pH between 6 and 8 should be disposed of down the
drain only if permitted under all current applicable EPA, CDC, NIH,
DEC, and MOA regulations and policies. Solutions with a pH below 6
and above 8 should go in a waste container. Regular paper waste
should be disposed of in a regular garbage bin only. Where
available, recyclable paper only should be discarded in recycling
bins.
Slide 29
Laboratory Safety Injuries or incidents should be reported to
the lab instructor immediately. Incident report forms shall be
filled out by the injured party and lab instructor and filed with
the chemical hygiene officer for any and all incidents and
injuries.
Slide 30
Student Health Center Health care is free for students taking 6
or more credits. If you are involved in an incident in lab, your
instructor may suggest that you visit the student health center
before continuing with lab.

Slide 31
Laboratory Safety Know where all safety equipment is located
and how they function. These are to remain clear of obstructions at
all times. Your instructor will point each of these out to you.

Slide 32
Laboratory Safety All exits are clearly marked and should be
unobstructed at all times. Your instructor will go over the
emergency escape route for this lab. In the advent of a visible
fire or the sound of a building fire alarm, everybody should remain
calm. Follow your instructors directions for evacuating the
building. http://www.itsoftmedia.com/category/economy/page/2

Slide 33
Laboratory Safety In the event of an earthquake, everybody
should remain calm, get under a bench or stand against an inside
wall. Do not stand in a doorway or against windows. Follow the
instructors verbal directions regarding any building evacuation
once the shaking stops. http://www.in.gov/dhs/3729.htm
Slide 34
Laboratory Safety During a building evacuation if time and
safety permits: Shut off all electrical devices Stop any chemical
procedures Gather personal belongings Calmly proceed to exit the
building via the nearest and safest exit Do not use the elevators
Once outside, stay at least 50 to 100 feet from any buildings Do
not leave your class evacuation assembly point until your
instructor has personally accounted for every one in your class.

Slide 35
Personal Safety Never enter any teaching laboratory without the
presence and / or permission of your lab instructor. Consult with
your healthcare provider if you have any special medical conditions
or any other medical concerns while participating in lab exercises.
Voluntarily inform your instructor of any relevant medical
conditions that could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.

Slide 36
Personal Safety Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly
forbidden in laboratories. Any visible food / drink container shall
be discarded in a garbage bin. Gum and mints are considered food
items. Food and beverage containers may not be left outside
laboratory doors as they pose a trip and slip hazard.

Slide 37
Personal Safety Appropriate attire is required in all
laboratories at all times. Your instructor will elaborate. Long
hair must be tied back. Keep it out of your eyes and out of your
chemicals! OSHA recommends strongly against wearing contact lenses
in lab. Notify your instructor at the beginning of each lab if you
are wearing contact lenses. Research chemical incompatibility!
Remove dangling jewelry and watches / bracelets from your person
before entering the lab. Protect rings from chemical contact. The
application of any and all make-up, including lip balm and
ChapStick, is strictly prohibited in laboratories.

Slide 38
Personal Safety Specific procedures must be fully read and
understood prior to coming to lab. Know the properties of your

Hazard Classes and Keys
Slide 40
Personal Safety Persons should wash their hands with soap and
water upon entering and before leaving the laboratory. Never start
an experiment before your instructor gives you permission to do so.

Slide 41
Personal Safety The appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE) shall be worn by all persons in the laboratory. This includes
indirectly vented, splash proof goggles, lab coats / aprons and
non-permeable gloves. Your instructor will discuss proper lab coat
handling with you. The fume hood should be used anytime hazardous
chemicals are present. Wear goggles whenever glassware and / or
chemicals are out.
Slide 42
Personal Safety Plan the use of appropriate glassware. Always
use the smallest container feasible. Always use the smallest amount
of a given chemical. Never pour directly from a very large
container into a very small container. Always add acid to water,
never the reverse.

Slide 43
Personal Safety Never intentionally inhale or ingest any
chemicals If you get any chemicals on your skin, rinse the exposed
areas with copious amounts of water unless otherwise indicated by
your instructor / MSDS / SDS. A major spill on your person will
require use of a safety shower. You should get into the shower as
soon as possible, and as soon as possible begin to remove all
clothing. Do not let modesty prevent you from taking the
appropriate safety measures. If you get a chemical in your eye, you
should flush it out for a minimum of 15 minutes at the eyewash
basin. If you are wearing contacts, you should remove them as soon
as possible after an initial rinsing. Follow your instructors
directions. http://www.medicine.uottaw a.ca/ehss-

Slide 44
Personal Safety All powered equipment in the chemistry
laboratory pose a risk of electrical shock. Hotplates pose a burn
hazard. Individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others by
being under the influence of any drug, inhibiting medication or who
become violent or threatening will be removed from any laboratory
by UAA University Police. http://www.wktv.com/news/crime-

family or medical emergency, calmly tell your instructor and leave
the room to continue the call.
Slide 46
Laboratory Etiquette Sign the attendance sheet as soon as
possible after entering the lab. Bench tops and isles should be
kept free of clutter. Place personal items, coats, and non-relevant
books in a cubby. Work areas / lab benches should be cleaned before
