ANNOUNCEMENTS
SCHEDULE OF CLASSESATTENDANCE AT THE FIRST LAB MEETING IS MANDATORY
Check the class web site for first-day information and come to lab prepared to work. Students who miss the first thirty minutes of the first lab meeting of the quarter will be administratively dropped from the course.
LABORATORY SAFETY REQUIREMENTAll students in CHEM 6BL, 100A, 143A and 143AM are required to demonstrate an understanding of general lab safety and of the UCSD Undergraduate Chemistry Lab Rules. Passing the Lab Safety Exam (administered in the second or third lab meeting) fulfills this requirement; students who do not pass the Lab Safety Exam may be administratively dropped from the course with the grade of "W." Information on the Lab Safety Exam (including study resources and topics which may be covered) will be distributed in the first class lecture. Each student is responsible for learning the material. Information on general lab practices and our specific rules can be found on the web at: http://chem-courses.ucsd.edu/Uglabs/ and http://blink.ucsd.edu/Blink/External/Topics/How_To/0,1260,14110,00.html .

https://webctweb.ucsd.edu
ALL students in these introductory lab classes are required to demonstrate an understanding of general laboratory safety and the UCSD Undergraduate Chemistry Lab Rules. Each student is responsible for studying these topics and passing the safety exam. Students who fail to demonstrate an understanding of general laboratory safety and familiarity with the Undergraduate Chemistry Lab Rules will be dropped from the course with a grade of "W."
The LAB SAFETY EXAM will be given during regularly scheduled lab periods: for CHEM 100A & 143A: Wed. Sept. 30 & Thurs. Oct. 1.
for CHEM 6BL: Mon. & Tues., Oct. 5 & 6. A PASSING SCORE (75%) on the exam fulfills this requirement.
Students who FAIL the first exam may retest (YH2722) & remain in the class (passing score = 85%): for CHEM 100A & 143A: Tuesday morning, October 6, at 7:00AM
for CHEM 6BL: Thursday morning, October 8, at 7:00AM
REVIEW SESSIONS for students taking the second exam (NSB 3209): for CHEM 100A & 143A: Mon., Oct. 5, 5:00PM
for CHEM 6BL (2 sessions): Wed., Oct. 7, 5:00PM & 6:30PM Staff will be available to answer questions while you review with other students.
Bring (to either exam): UCSD student ID card , #2 pencils & eraser. Scantron forms will be provided. Students who report ID numbers incorrectly may not receive credit. No makeup times are planned for students who do not attend – contact Instructor immediately in case of illness or serious conflict.
EXAM RESULTS will be available to students on the Lab Instructor’s web site and (with the student's express permission) will be posted at YORK4124. It is the student's responsibility to obtain exam scores and, if necessary, appear for the second exam. The safety exam score may be used as part of a class grade and retesting may have no effect on a failing score for the purpose of assigning a course grade (see Instructor’s course syllabus).
PREPARE CAREFULLY:
Go to https://webctweb.ucsd.edu and log onto our WebCT safety portal for:
lab safety information notes on the safety exam program study resources meeting & test dates
All CHEM lab students should have access; request access assistance from Academic Computing Services (534-3227). _____________________________________
Observe & learn about the LAB SAFETY EQUIPMENT in your lab: listen to TA’s comments and request explanation of anything that’s new. Read the signs posted in your lab.
A SAFETY LECTURE will be presented twice (Dr. Palmer & Ms. Kennedy):
TUESDAY September 29, 6:00PM York 2722
WEDNESDAY September 30, 8:00AM Student Service Ctr. (Multipurpose Room)
No lecture covers all details of a topic, but we’ll highlight some items everyone needs to know. Safety staff will be available to answer questions that may arise in your reading. _____________________________________

Laboratory Hood User Checklist
Know the location of nearest eyewash/shower & fire extinguisher Know the hazards of the materials to be used Check for a current certification sticker Verify that adequate face velocity exists Always keep the hood sash between the operator’s face & the work Keep upper body & head outside the plane of the hood sash* Keep baffle slots free of obstructions (by apparatus or containers) Work and place equipment >6 inches behind the sash Allow free flow of air currents across the hood work surface:
o Minimize storage in hoods o Elevate bulky equipment on racks or feet (~1.5 in.) o Limit rapid movements (of arms & equipment) in & out of hood
Reduce cross drafts at hood face by minimizing pedestrian traffic
Never turn off hoods (at UCSD, we have no ON/OFF switches)
Report problems with hoods immediately o York Lab Staff (x40222; 858.534.0222) o NSB Lab Staff (x24316; 858.822.4316) o Facilities Mgmt. (x42930; 858.534.2930)
Post a sign on malfunctioning hood to keep others from using it until it can be repaired – state problem & date reported
*The exception to this rule arises when arranging equipment in the hood. Lower the sash before beginning operations that produce fumes/vapors/gases.
COMPRESSED GASES HAZARD AWARENESS TRAINING
TANKS MAY CONTAIN hazardous (TRICky) materials:
Toxic Rective
Ignitable Corrosive
... or contents may not be chemical hazard.
TANKS are under pressure. Whatever the contents, the pressure is a physical hazard - an unrestrained tank can become a rocket.
Periodic hydrostatic testing Remove regulator, replace valve cap before moving Move only on a cart with restraint (strap/chains) Install with restraint @ 1/3 & 2/3 height Use chain, not web straps, for fire safety Label & date tank
TOXIC & FLAMMABLE GASES are stored in hood or gas cabinets
CHECK FOR LEAKS with soap solution – look for bubbles
COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION (CGA) sets standards for gases, tanks, regulators, etc.
CGA FITTINGS: match tanks & regulators for specific gas type. Thread depth & diameter Inside/outside threads Right- & left-handed threads
REGULATORS Nitrogen – simple for non-flammable, non-corrosive gas Nitrous oxide – heated to prevent freezing Acetylene – left-handed (for flammable gases)
ACETYLENE (C2H2) has left-handed threads on CGA570 fittings is piped in stainless; C2H2 forms explosive copper acetylide highly flammable (2 – 80% = wide range) simple asphyxiant
