Two Main Chemical Safety ProgramsTwo Main Chemical Safety Programs

1.1. Hazard Communication Program (“Haz-Hazard Communication Program (“Haz-Com”)Com”)

For all employees who use hazardous For all employees who use hazardous substances substances

common situation: the same chemical is used common situation: the same chemical is used every day (example: factory assembly line)every day (example: factory assembly line)

2.2. Chemical Safety Plan for Laboratories Chemical Safety Plan for Laboratories (CSPL)(CSPL)

Examples of Flammable and Combustible Liquids

• Flammable liquids• Isopropyl alcohol• Propane• Solvents such as

acetone, MEK, paint thinner

• Fuels such as gasoline, kerosene

• Aerosol cans

Combustible liquids• Oil• Greases and lubricants• Oil-based paints

FlashpointFlashpoint

• Lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapors to be ignited

• Low Flashpoint = High flammability

• Flammable liquids have a flashpoint < 100˚ F

• Combustible liquids have a flashpoint > 100˚F

Fire Suppression Equipment in the Laboratory

Extinguishers Manual foam or

water systems Sprinkler systems Inspected regularly

Fire Prevention

Store flammable and combustible liquids in proper containers

Keep reactive chemicals separated

Prevent the accumulation of combustibles

Keep combustibles away from electrical equipment and hot machinery

General Cylinder Safety

o Only accept and use DOT approved cylinders

o Do not drop cylinderso Protect cylinders from

cuts and abrasionso Don’t use cylinders for

unintended function such as a roller or support

o Don’t tamper with safety valves

o Caps on whenever not in use

Evaluating Laboratory Hazards

What PPE is available? Are cylinders used in the

Laboratory? Are you positioned properly

while working? Is lockout/tagout used? Are any hazardous chemicals

being stored under a hood or being used as part of a laboratory processes?

Do you notice any hazardous labels?

Is Bio Hazardous waste labeled, stored and disposed in the Laboratory?

What are the sources of chemicals and what new chemicals are being used?

Are slips, trips, and falls a possibility?

Spill Prevention and Spill Prevention and Safety in the LaboratorySafety in the Laboratory

• Understand chemical hazards in your lab

• Follow safe storage and handling procedures

• Read and follow the instructions on labels and material safety data sheets

• Don’t use chemicals in unlabeled containers
