lab safety rules, Heat and fire, SOP, Antiseptic - Coggle Diagram

- - - - why ?
        
        chemicals can leak thought overtime
- - - - Minimize the likelihood of accidents
- - - - or use a respirator
        
        But by law you must first complete the proper training
        
        How ?
        
        ask your lab manager or instrucor
- - - - Keep water/ liquids away from instrument
      - Never attempts to repair or open any cover while instrument plugged in.
      - Routinely check for frayed electrical cords
      - Only use approved extension cables or power switches
  - - - use heat-resistant gloves whenever handling hot materials
        
        Extremely low temperature can also damage unprotected skin
        
        wear insulated gloves when handling dry ice / items in the -80C° freezer
  - - - secure gas cylinders with a heavy-duty clamp and strap
      - the cylinder’s head should be sealed with a threaded protective cap whenever it’s not in use
  - - - keep floors and routes of movement through the lab
      - never place any materials or instruments on the floor
      - clean up spills immediately + use « wet floor »signs to warn colleagues
      - be aware of surroundings : look out for shelves + tables tops + any other structures that can cause a head injury if you bump into them
- - - - why?
        
        extinct small flames on workbenches / floors
        
        Why?
        
        help someone whose clothing is on fire
        
        how ?
        
        force the flames upward toward the head and neck area
        
        1 more item...
- - - - Why ? Protects you from toxic vapors
        
        what to do ? Tureen on the exhaust fan and make sure the hood is venting properly
        
        careful ! Never store chemicals and the hood and always clean and remove materials when you’re finished working

      - Other informations
      - Not mandatory
- - - - PPE
        
        Wearing a lab coat
        
        Safety glasses and gloves
        
        No jewelry, hair tied
        
        You may need special PPE depending on the work you're doing
        
        Like these heat resistant gloves for opening the autoclave. -> That's PPE
      - Labs equipment
        
        Should be tested and certified
        
        To be sure it's in good working order
        
        Fume hood and biological safety cabinets
        
        Look similar but their functions are actually quite different
        
        A fume hood : used to protect you when working with toxic chemicals (the air flow moves the vapors away from you)
        
        A biological safety cabinet : used for working with infectious bacterial agent (air flows through a HEPA filter to create a clean working environment, so it's protect you and you work from contamination).
      - Emergency gear
        
        Know the location of your safety shower and eyewash station, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit
        
        These areas must be kept clear of obstacles (can go get to them fast)
        
        Safety equipment also has to be regularly inspected and tagged
        
        Be familiar with the emergency evacuation plan, and exits should be clear and marked
      - Chemical safety
        
        All chemicals in the lab must be labeled and organized
        
        Labels provide important safety information
        
        chemicals properties

      - Housekeeping requirements
        
        Always clean up after yourself
        
        The lab must be organized and free of clutter
        
        Walkways should be clear of obstacles
        
        Dispose biological wastes in the container labeled with the appropriate biohazard symbol
        
        Clean your equipment and workbench after each experiment
        
        Always place sharp objects like broken glasswear in a sealable puncture proof container

      - Phone
- - - - Wood
      - Cloth
      - Paper
- - - - You can electrocute yourself

        Why?
        
        It can force the flames upward toward the head and neck
      - 1.help the person to the floor
        
        2.wrap them into the blanket
        
        3.help them roll until the fire is out
        
        4.Use the first aid kit that every lab should have
        
        What does it contains?
        
        Bandages
- - - - Turner on the exaust fan to make sure the hood venting properly
- - - - Each lab has its own SOP
        
        Quality manager -> responsible for signing SOP
- - - - The SOP will list who has received a copy of the SOP
        
        chemistry laboratory,
        
        water laboratory,
    - - The SOP can add forms, tables, data sheets, etc... SOPs
    - - It gives references to other SOPs relevant to the procedure in question
      - If there are no cross references “N/A” should be stated under this heading.
      - This section is found on the first page of each SOP.
