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
