3 Chemistry 6781 Syllabus Syllabus Grades are S/U/I and based on satisfactory completion of all quizzes and assignments. You must also get a combined average score of 75% or greater on the midterm and final exam. Exam questions will be similar to your quizzes. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

4 Chemistry 6781 Syllabus It is inevitable that this class interferes with lab sessions, proctoring, and tests. I have had videos or powerpoints made of all sessions. If you need to "make up" a missed session, refer to the syllabus. These videos are available on-line. See CARMEN (content) or the Safety Page for the details. Powerpoint shows will be used to make up the “Lab Safety/Emergency Response” and the “Lab Standard” sessions. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

5 Chemistry 6781 Syllabus Class Format: 6:30-7:25PM  Lecture  Occasional Video or Demonstration  Questions and Answers  Short Quiz (make sure your name is on it)  Homework and reading assignments Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

6 Chemistry 6781 Syllabus Quizzes will serve as the attendance sheet for most sessions. For More Information, See the Chemistry Safety Web Page: Or CARMEN (check it regularly for changes) Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

21 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Call University Police ( ) if the injury is not life-threatening but still requires medical attention. Do NOT Suggest to a Student/Victim to walk down to the Emergency Room. Not Sure? ASK! If you are injured, Employee Health or OSU Emergency Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

22 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Accident Reporting Complete “Employee Accident Report” An “Incident Report Form” must be completed for all incidents (fire, chemical, medical, and “near misses”). See the Safety Page for forms Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

23 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Fire Emergencies Pull the Fire Alarm to Evacuate the Building Call 911 to Report the Emergency Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

24 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Fire Emergencies If you can do without endangering yourself: Isolate Fire (close fume hood sash) Eliminate Ignition/Fuel Sources Use an Appropriate Fire Extinguisher Close doors as you evacuate Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

25 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Chemical Emergencies Pull the Fire Alarm to Evacuate the Building Call 911 to Report the Emergency Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

26 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Chemical Emergencies If you can do without endangering yourself: Isolate the Area Warn Others About the Danger Close doors as you evacuate Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

27 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Building Evacuations Refer to your BEAP Building code requirements result in stairways being the safest locations in a building in the event of a fire. Stairways are routinely checked for people needing assistance by the firefighters. Personnel should not use elevators as a means of evacuation. Evacuees should not stop immediately after exiting the building, but proceed well away from the building so as to be clear of the fire and also not impede the movements of firefighters and fire fighting equipment. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

28 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Building Evacuations Classroom instructors are expected to interrupt class activity and advise students to evacuate the building. Within the Department of Chemistry, Supervisors, Faculty, TA's, and Safety personnel are expected to make a quick visual inspection of the floor (including labs, offices, bathrooms, and stairwells) to make sure that everyone is leaving the building. If performing this inspection poses unreasonable risk, then proceed to the nearest stairwell and exit the building. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety

29 Laboratory Safety and Emergency Response Building Evacuations Unless specifically requested and considered advisable by those providing the assistance, moving persons in wheelchairs down a stairway is not recommended. One individual should remain with the disabled person, if this can be done without unreasonable personal risk. Others should evacuate the building and advise of the location of the persons remaining in the building so that the evacuation may be completed by the emergency personnel. Elevators should not be used to move persons with disabilities for the reasons outlined above. The building should not be reentered unless indicated safe by fire officials or University Safety Personnel at the scene. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Chemistry.osu.edu/safety
