The chemistry department SAPs are in place to minimize health and

safety risks.

Any person in violation of these protocols shall face administrative

action.

Letter from the Dean of CAS

General Procedures

• Anybody who wishes to perform any course work in a chemistry lab shall first receive the proper safety training (CHP and SAPs overviewed).

Laboratory Safety

• Wipe spills immediately.

• If the spill involves hazardous materials notify your instructor immediately.

• Inform classmates of the spill and make sure that they avoid the area.

• If an experiment has special safety considerations not covered in these SAPs, the instructor of the class and the lab manual shall instruct students explicitly on how to safely perform the experiment and appropriately discard waste.

Laboratory SafetyDeposit waste in the appropriate receptacles.

• Glass should be disposed of in glass disposal boxes only. • Hazardous chemicals should be disposed of in special, labeled waste

containers in the fume hood(s). • Non-toxic, non-hazardous aqueous solutions with a pH between 6 and 8

should be disposed of down the drain only if permitted under all current applicable EPA, CDC, NIH, DEC, and MOA regulations and policies. Solutions with a pH below 6 and above 8 should go in a waste container.

• Regular paper waste should be disposed of in a regular garbage bin only. • Where available, recyclable paper only should be discarded in recycling

bins.

Laboratory Safety

Injuries or incidents should be reported to the lab instructor immediately. Incident report forms shall be filled out by the injured party and lab instructor and filed with the chemical hygiene officer for any and all incidents and injuries.

Student Health Center• Health care is free for students taking 6 or more

credits.• If you are involved in an incident in lab, your

Laboratory Safety

Know where all safety equipment is located and how they function. These are to remain clear of obstructions at all times. Your instructor will point each of these out to you.◦ Gloves◦ Safety shower◦ Eyewash basin◦ Fire extinguisher◦ Fire blanket◦ Fume hoods◦ First aid kit◦ Glass disposal boxes◦ MSDS binder◦ Phone

Laboratory Safety• All exits are clearly marked and should be

unobstructed at all times. • Your instructor will go over the emergency escape

route for this lab.• In the advent of a visible fire or the sound of a

building fire alarm, everybody should remain calm.• Follow your instructor’s directions for evacuating

the building.

Laboratory Safety• In the event of an earthquake, everybody

should remain calm, get under a bench or stand against an inside wall.

• Do not stand in a doorway or against windows.
