1 Proper Chemical Handling Procedures

2 Explosives, Peroxidizable Compounds, and Flammable Compounds:
No flames or sparking materials/equipment present. Should never be heated or handled near hot surfaces. Should not be used on vibrating surfaces. If harmful vapors are emitted, the chemical must be used in a fume hood. Safety glasses and laboratory coats should be worn at all times.

3 Peroxides and Oxidizers:
Must be kept away from organic materials. Keep away from ignition sources including friction and grinding. Store in a well-ventilated area. Air Reactive Compounds: Must be handled in inert gases containing no oxygen. Can be safely dispensed using a syringe or double-tipped needle. Do not store near any flammable chemicals.

4 Water Reactive Compounds:
Must be kept away from water. Can be safely dispensed using a syringe or double- tipped needle. Do not store near any flammable chemicals. Polymerizing Compounds: Must be kept in low temperatures.

5 Corrosive Materials: Always pour more concentrated solution into less concentrated solution while stirring to prevent violent reactions. If it emits harmful vapors, it must be used in a fume hood. Never heat or handle chemical in fragile containers. Always wear a laboratory coat, gloves, and safety glasses.

6 Corrosive Materials (storage):
Store below eye level in corrosive resistant trays. Keep away from incompatible substances (e.g. store acids and bases separately)

7 NEVER use unknown chemicals or chemicals that are not clearly identified!
