Rules and Guidelines

Please excuse us while this page is under construction

Chemistry Equipment Usage:

BEFORE USE:

1. New user MUST be trained and receive orientation by Mark Smith or Tim prior to working in B442 with Chemistry Equipment to assure researchers understand local lab hazards and safety practices prior to their initial work.

Establishing of local lab rules for Rm. B442 including but not limited to:

o Prior to setting up and running specific chemical reactions for the first time, researchers to consult with the Chemistry Captain, their own PI, or a PI-designate in order to review the potential hazards and appropriate safety precautions.

o For use of higher hazard chemicals such as highly reactive or particularly hazardous materials (having highly acute toxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity)-

§ Researchers are to minimally consult with the PI to assure adequate precautions are being taken.

NOTE: Per the SU Chemical Hygiene Plan (http://chemhygieneplan.stanford.edu), PIs are to assure their researchers are provided and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for safe use of hazardous chemicals. For more info on SOPs, refer to http://web.stanford.edu/dept/EHS/cgi-bin/lcst/creating-standard-operating-procedures/)

§ Local restrictions for working alone (for guidance, refer to Section 5.3 of the Chemical Hygiene Plan (http://chemhygieneplan.stanford.edu)

o Required personal protective equipment (see at http://web.stanford.edu/dept/EHS/cgi-bin/lcst/selecting-personal-protective-equipment/)

o Incident reporting and response procedures (i.e., for injuries, spills, equipment issues, etc.)

o Chemical storage and waste procedures

- For lab equipment uses posing special safety hazard(s), user training shall be documented, and such documentation of training completed within the past 12 months shall be retained (per Cal/OSHA 8 CCR 3203(b)).

For training please see Mark Smith or Tim in B455.
