实验室安全指引
This 实验室安全指引 was developed to assist those working in University of New England laboratories by providing information on maintaining a safe laboratory and complying with environmental and safety regulations.
Plan Your Work
- 在进行任何实验之前, you should access the hazards related to the work, including what are the worst possible things that could go wrong; how to deal with them; and what are the prudent practices, 防护设施, and equipment necessary to minimize the risk of exposure to the hazards.
- 始终了解所使用材料的危害(e).g., corrosivity, flammability, reactivity, and toxicity).
- Read the 安全数据表 (SDS) for information on all chemicals you plan to use. Make sure all 个人防护装备 (PPE) is on hand. 使用SDS来选择所需的设备.
- Post emergency contact numbers by the laboratory door or phone using an EHS Emergency Contact Card. 要获得卡,请联系EHS.
- Inspect equipment and apparatus for weaknesses, cracks or damage before beginning work.
- Inspect electrical equipment and cords for frayed wiring or damage before use. 使用前应丢弃或修理损坏的设备.
Follow all Safety Procedures
- Always wear chemical splash goggles for eye protection when working with chemicals.
- When pouring large quantities of hazardous chemicals, 除了护目镜, wear a face shield large enough to protect your ears and neck as well as your face.
- 处理化学品时一定要戴上手套. Select the glove material based on compatibility with the chemicals you may contact.
- Always wear appropriate clothing: chemically resistant lab coats or aprons are recommended.
- Do not wear shorts or miniskirts (anything that would leave your legs bare and unprotected). Do not wear high-heeled shoes, open-toed/heeled shoes, sandals, or shoes made of woven materials. 限制长发和宽松的衣服.
- Do not work with hazardous chemicals or processes when alone in the laboratory. An instructor must supervise undergraduate students at all times.
- Always use chemicals with adequate ventilation or in a chemical fume hood. Do not allow the release of toxic substances in cold rooms or warm rooms, 由于这些地区已被遏制, 循环的空气,.
- Use chemicals only as directed and for their intended purpose.
- Never use mouth suction to fill a pipette or siphon. 使用移液管或其他合适的设备.
- Handle needles, syringes, and other sharps carefully. Use self-sheathing needles or needless systems whenever possible. Dispose of all sharps in an appropriate sharps container.
- 不要把化学物质扔进下水道. Most chemicals must be disposed of as 危险废物.
- Compressed gas cylinders must be secured to prevent them from being knocked over. Cylinders must be capped when the regulator is removed or not in use.
- 每周检查实验室的危险情况.
- Shield or wrap pressurized or evacuated equipment (dewars and vacuum flasks).
Know Emergency Procedures
- Know where the nearest emergency eyewash and showers are and how to use them.
- Know at least two exits from the laboratory area in case of an emergency.
- In the event of an emergency, pull the nearest "Pull BOX," evacuate the area, and close all doors.
Practice Good Housekeeping and Personal Hygiene
- 避免直接接触任何化学品.
- Never smell, inhale or taste laboratory chemicals.
- Always wash hands and arms with soap and water after removing gloves and before leaving the work area.
- Never eat, drink, chew gum or tobacco, smoke or apply cosmetics in the laboratory.
- 不要用手捡碎玻璃. Use a dust pan and brush or another appropriate tool.
- Remove 个人防护装备 (PPE) such as gloves and lab coats before leaving the lab.
- Remove gloves before handling common items like phones, instruments, door knobs, etc.
- 保持所有工作区域干净整洁. Wipe down benches with cleaners or disinfectants regularly.
- Do not block emergency showers, eye washes, exits or hallways.
Transport Chemicals Safely
- Use secondary containers such as acid buckets or plastic totes.
- 将集装箱固定在车上.
- 穿戴适当的个人防护装备.
- 限制乘客进入电梯.
- Use a hand truck with a safety chain when moving compressed gas cylinders.
无人操作
- Provide for containment of materials in the event of spills or failures.
- 给所有容器和工艺设备贴上标签.
- 在实验室门上贴上紧急电话.
Report Dangerous Activities and Situations
- 报告所有事故,不管多小.
- Never perform unauthorized work, preparations or experiments.
- Never engage in horseplay, pranks or other acts of mischief in laboratories.
- Never remove chemicals from the facility without proper authorization.
- 向EHS报告危险情况.
- Report suspicious people or activities in lab areas to 安全及保安.
Laboratory Safety检查
Each lab should conduct regular self-inspections of their areas to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and to familiarize new staff with the location of safety equipment.
EHS正在继续检查校园里所有的实验室. 检查将包括一般安全, 化学品安全, 危险废物, 生物安全和辐射安全.
EHS将使用 UNE实验室检查清单(PDF) 来检查你的实验室.
A Lab Rules Posting provided by EHS is standard in every laboratory on both campuses. 这些帖子可在下面的PDF格式中找到:
