2. Chemistry Lecture L.S. 2 Lab Safety

3. Expectations for Behavior NO Horseplay in the lab Wear P.P.E. at all times in the lab Follow written procedures without deviation Do not eat, drink, or inhale chemicals Keep lab space clean and tidy In case of emergency or accident, notify instructor immediately

4. Expectations for Dress Wear long sleeve shirt (at least to elbow) Wear long pants If you have long hair, it should be tied back Wear close toed shoes Wear goggles at all times – Even those who wear glasses must too wear goggles as glasses provide no splash protection. – Contact lenses are okay to wear, but notify instructor that you wear them.

5. Personal Protective Equipment Goggles (Always required) – You may get your own from any home improvement store, but make sure they provide splash protection around whole eye. Nitrile gloves (provided when needed) Lab aprons (available) – Lab coats can be purchased from collegiate bookstores for little money.

7. Lab Safety Split large groups in half – You can run 2 trials side by side, saving time – Everyone gets a better opportunity to participate Know the procedures ahead of time – If you know what to expect, there is less chance something will go wrong Be familiar with chemicals to be used and their hazards – No matter how safe we are, accidents can still happen. It is imperative that everyone knows how to deal with potential emergency situations.

8. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Can be found by searching the internet Will be researched ahead of time Speak to reactivity Speak to potential hazards Speak to disposal

9. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Contain basic information about the chemical and properties – Name – Formula Mass – Empirical Formula – Physical Properties melting point conductivity solubility etc.

10. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Take the MSDS you were given and determine the following for your chemical as a group: Chemical Name Formula Mass Empirical Formula Melting and boiling points Density

11. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Contains Hazard Information – Possible Routes of Entry Inhalation Ingestion Skin Contact Eye Contact – First Aid Has specific first aid for each route of entry that applies

12. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Take the MSDS you were given and determine the possible hazards of the chemical and determine the appropriate first aid procedures to deal with each type of exposure.

13. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Also contains reactivity and disposal information. – Describes classes of chemicals that would be very reactive to the substance – Explains thoroughly how chemical must be disposed Environmental repercussions of poor disposal Cost of disposal

14. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Take the MSDS you were given and determine if there are any types of chemicals that are reactive to the chemical and how it should be disposed.

15. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) Questions?

16. Emergency Equipment The lab is equipped to deal with several types of emergencies. There are several pieces of emergency equipment whose locations should be known. – Fire Extinguisher – Safety Shower – Eye Wash – Fire Blanket – Telephone

17. Safety Shower For use in the case when a hazardous chemical spills onto a person. Remove clothing (adult present will be same gendered and others will be removed from area) Stand in drenching shower for 15 minutes Seek medical attention

18. Eye Wash For use in the case when a foreign body or chemical gets into an eye. Take covers off eye wash and press lever Hold eyelids open and allow eye wash to rinse eyes for 15 minutes Seek medical attention if irritation continues or MSDS recommends it

19. Fire Blanket For use in the case when part of or a whole person has caught on fire. Remove blanket from red pouch and cover person(s) affected to smother the flames. Seek medical attention.

21. Assignments: Lab Safety Contract – Take contracts home and read through them with your parents. – You and your parents sign it and return contract to me. Safety Scavenger Hunt – In pairs, go into the lab and locate all of the safety equipment on the handout.
