see if anyone in your department could use the chemicals or if the chemicals could be included in the campus chemical recycling program. All other chemicals that cannot or will not be used in the new facility should be disposed of properly. • Do not move containers of chemical wastes to your new facility. Contact the EHS Office for proper disposal of any hazardous wastes laboratory cleanouts. The EHSO can provide assistance with making waste determinations including hazardous waste, universal waste, biomedical waste, radioactive waste, and oil waste.. • Only trained laboratory workers may move chemicals. Any highly toxic or highly hazardous or reactive chemicals should only be moved by personnel who have received special training. When moving highly toxic or highly hazardous chemicals, it is recommended to use a "buddy system" in the event of a spill or other emergency. When moving chemicals, be sure all containers are properly labeled and all are securely closed. When transporting chemicals, it is best to use DOT approved shipping containers. Please note: There are special regulations associated with transporting hazardous chemicals off campus. When packaging chemicals, use a packing material (such as vermiculite, ground corn cobs, shipping peanuts, cardboard, absorbent clay, etc) that is compatible with the chemicals to prevent bottle breakage during transport. • Only place chemicals that are compatible with each other in the same container and do not overload containers of chemical bottles. • When transporting chemicals, it is best to use carts with lips or trays to prevent containers from being knocked off. Other items that are useful for transport include rubber bottle carriers, five gallon pails, or other forms of secondary containment. • When moving chemicals, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses (splash goggles for corrosives), lab coat, and gloves. Remember to remove gloves when touching door knobs and latches, and elevator buttons. If possible, avoid using passenger elevators. If you must use a passenger elevator, request that no passengers ride along with you. • After removing all chemicals and waste from your old lab facility, ensure that all spills have been cleaned up and all potentially contaminated surfaces have been cleaned with water and detergent thoroughly. This includes bench tops, fume hoods, storage cabinets and drawers (both inside and outside), shelving, and the outside of large equipment that is scheduled to be moved by a moving company. Remember to clean out refrigerators and freezers thoroughly and defrost freezers. Please keep in mind the next immediate occupants of your old lab will be custodians and maintenance workers. Please be considerate of their health and safety by thoroughly cleaning up any potentially hazardous (chemical, biological, and radiological) contamination. • When storing chemicals in your new lab, remember to segregate and store chemicals according to hazard class. EHS recommends using secondary containment such as trays, buckets, or bottle carriers when storing chemicals to help prevent spills. 149
23.3 Cylinders • Before moving to your new facility, be sure to make arrangements for the removal of any compressed gas cylinders that will no longer be used or for any empty cylinders. If you need assistance having the cylinders removed, contact your EHSO. • Before moving any compressed gas cylinders, remove the regulator and replace the safety cap over the cylinder valve. Only use an appropriate cylinder handcart to move compressed gas cylinders. Do not attempt to "roll" cylinders from one area to another. • Any compressed cylinders containing highly toxic or highly reactive gases should only be moved by staff with special training in the use and hazards of these materials. • After moving compressed gas cylinders, secure them with a strap or chain at once (chains are preferred). Do not leave compressed gas cylinders unsecured for any period of time, even temporarily. Any new gas distribution systems, using metal or plastic tubing, must be pressure tested (leak tested) before use. All cylinders must either have a regulator or a cap depending on if it is in use or stored. 23.4 Biohazardous Material • All biohazardous materials must be properly packaged and only moved by properly trained laboratory staff. Non-laboratory personnel (including moving company staff) or untrained laboratory personnel are not permitted to move biohazardous materials. • All potentially contaminated equipment and surfaces such as bench tops, fume hoods, storage cabinets and drawers (both inside and outside), shelving, refrigerators, freezers, incubators, and the outside of large equipment that is scheduled to be moved by a moving company, must be thoroughly decontaminated. Please be considerate of the health and safety of future occupants by thoroughly cleaning up any potentially hazardous (chemical, biological, and radiological) contamination. • Before moving to the new facility, dispose of all biohazardous waste properly. • Keep in mind that certain types of research, such as that with recombinant DNA and some pathogens, may need to have prior approval or registration for use at your new location - before you move. Check with the appropriate College or University committee well in advance of your move to see if campus prior approval is required. • If you are having your Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) moved to your new location, thoroughly decontaminate both the inside and outside of the cabinet. You will also need to have the BSC recertified by a third party. Check with the manufacturers guidelines before moving your BSC. 150
