5. Ensure that all appropriate controls including fume hoods and safety equipment are available and in good working order in their laboratories. Report non functional or malfunctioning equipment to EHS. 6. Ensure that all incidents occurring in their laboratories are reported to the Chemical Hygiene Officer and that a written Incident Report is filed with the CHO and Public Safety 7. Complete regular inventories of chemicals in their laboratories and provide them to the designated departmental representatives 8. Supervise the maintenance of Material Safety Data Sheets and ensure laboratory employee access to MSDS 9. Include provisions for Chemical Hygiene Plan compliance in grant proposals 2.7. Laboratory Employees, Technicians, Users, and Volunteers Laboratory employees are those who, in the course of their work, are present in the laboratory or are at risk of possible exposure on a regular or periodic basis. These include laboratory technicians, instructors, researchers, secretaries, graduate assistants, student aides, part time and temporary employees. All employees, users, and volunteers must: 1. Know the location of the Chemical Hygiene Plan and be familiar with the CHP requirements. 2. Maintain all Material Safety Data Sheets that accompany chemicals received 3. Follow procedures and guidelines outlined in the Chemical Hygiene Plan 4. Report any unsafe working conditions, faulty fume hoods, or emergency safety equipment to the laboratory supervisor and Chemical Hygiene Officer 5. File incident reports with the administration or departmental Chemical Hygiene Committee person 6. Attend all required health and safety training as mandated by supervisors 7. Be familiar with what to do in the event of an emergency 8. Follow the standard operating procedures for your laboratory and incorporate the guidelines and requirements outlined in this Laboratory Safety Manual into everyday practice. 2.8. Buildings and Grounds: Facilities Management serves as an important conduit for information with regard to buildingwide issues. This information includes reporting and coordinating routine maintenance issues, scheduling building shutdowns, and communicating building-wide maintenance and repairs and building system shutdowns to all occupants. Laboratory safety responsibilities of the Facilities Management include: 1. Comply with all university health and safety practices and programs by maintaining common building areas safe and free from hazards. 2. Attend required health and safety training as designated by your supervisor. 13
3. Keep the Department Chairperson, the Chemical Hygiene Officer, and/or EHS Officer informed of plans for renovations or new laboratory construction projects and the laboratory needs of new faculty and staff. 4. Ensure that work orders for safety equipment (such as fume hoods and emergency eyewash/showers) and other laboratory equipment are processed in a timely manner. 5. Ensure that requests from the EHS Office related to building-wide laboratory safety issues are addressed. 6. Be aware of building issues that could impact the health and safety of laboratory personnel and contact your EHS Office whenever building-wide health and safety issues occur in laboratories. 7. Be familiar with what to do in the event of an emergency situation. 8. Assist emergency responders during emergencies by serving as a resource for control of building control systems (ventilation, turning off water main, etc.). III. CHEMICAL INVENTORYING, PROCUREMENT, AND RECEIVING This section of the Chemical Hygiene Plan describes standard operating procedures for the procurement, receipt, and inventory of chemicals. An important program goal is to establish a centralized chemical stockroom in each department from which chemicals are procured, received, inventoried, and distributed to individual laboratories. Centralizing these activities: · Allows better monitoring of chemicals stored and used and their location within the facility · Reduces the waste involved in duplicate purchases · Reduces waste disposal costs · Facilitates compliance with regulations 3.1. Chemical Inventorying 1. Department wide computerized inventory. Each department should develop a department wide computerized inventory for all chemicals purchased, transferred, and disposed. The Chemical Hygiene Officer will coordinate collection of inventories from individual laboratories until the goal of centralizing chemical procurement in each department is achieved. Variables or field names on a computerized chemical inventory database for newly purchased chemicals must include at least the following: · Name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number of the chemical · Chemical supplier's name and address · Department and course name requesting the chemical(s · Whether for instructional or research use · Name of principal investigator (if applicable) · Amount of chemical purchased · Date purchased · Date received · Expiration date · Quantity received · Unit (each, liter, g, drum) 14
