•Syllabus•Grades are S/U/I and based on satisfactory completion of all quizzes and assignments.

You must also get a combined average score of 75% or greater on the midterm and

final exam.•Exam questions will be similar to your

quizzes.

•It is inevitable that this class interferes with lab sessions, proctoring, and tests. I have had videos or

powerpoints made of all sessions. If you need to "make up" a missed session, refer to the syllabus.•These videos are available on-line. See CARMEN

(content) or the Safety Page for the details.•Powerpoint shows will be used to make up the “Lab

Safety/Emergency Response” and the “Lab Standard” sessions.

22


Accident Reporting•Complete “Employee Accident Report”

•An “Incident Report Form” must be completed for all incidents (fire,

chemical, medical, and “near misses”).•See the Safety Page for forms


23


Fire Emergencies

•Pull the Fire Alarm to Evacuate the Building

•Call 911 to Report the Emergency


24


Fire Emergencies

If you can do without endangering yourself:•Isolate Fire (close fume hood sash)

•Eliminate Ignition/Fuel Sources•Use an Appropriate Fire Extinguisher

•Close doors as you evacuate


25


Chemical Emergencies•Pull the Fire Alarm to Evacuate

the Building•Call 911 to Report the Emergency


26


Chemical EmergenciesIf you can do without endangering yourself:

•Isolate the Area•Warn Others About the Danger•Close doors as you evacuate


27


Building Evacuations• Refer to your BEAP

• Building code requirements result in stairways being the safest

locations in a building in the event of a fire. Stairways are

routinely checked for people needing assistance by the

firefighters.

• Personnel should not use elevators as a means of

evacuation.

• Evacuees should not stop immediately after exiting the building,

but proceed well away from the building so as to be clear of the

fire and also not impede the movements of firefighters and fire

fighting equipment.


28


Building EvacuationsClassroom instructors are expected to interrupt class activity and advise students to evacuate the building.

Within the Department of Chemistry, Supervisors, Faculty, TA's, and Safety personnel are expected to make a quick

visual inspection of the floor (including labs, offices, bathrooms, and stairwells) to make sure that everyone is leaving the building. If performing this inspection poses unreasonable risk, then proceed to the nearest stairwell

and exit the building.


29


Building EvacuationsUnless specifically requested and considered advisable by

those providing the assistance, moving persons in wheelchairs down a stairway is not recommended. One individual should remain with the disabled person, if this can be done without unreasonable personal risk. Others should

evacuate the building and advise of the location of the persons remaining in the building so that the evacuation may be

completed by the emergency personnel. Elevators should not be used to move persons with disabilities for the reasons

outlined above.

The building should not be reentered unless indicated safe by fire officials or University Safety Personnel at the

scene.


30


Building Emergency Action Plan (BEAP)•Building specific and covers expectations for

personnel and departments•Fire•Severe weather•Bomb threats•Indoor and outdoor chemical spills•Earthquakes•Workplace violence•Terrorism•Utility outages•Medical emergencies


31


Building Emergency Action Plan (BEAP)

•We will discuss scenarios on Thursday, October 29 – Basic First Aid

•Sign up for alerts through Public Safety’s Buckeye Alert

•If you would like more first aid training, go to: http://recsports.osu.edu/safety-trainings-and-

certification

•Homework Assignment –Read the Celeste Lab BEAP (on CARMEN).
