[Audio] ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY. Laboratory Safety Training. CCR-UTP Laboratory..

[Audio] Session Objectives. Safety training is compulsory for new staffs and new students PG and FYP. By the end of the training, you will be able to. Understand the Chemical Hygiene. Take preventive Actions to protect yourself. Act effectively in an Emergency. You are required to attend the training, study the handbook and take a safety quiz a week after..

[Audio] Required Forms. JSA. MSDS. Laboratory materials request form. Procedure. Notification of test. Safety quiz..

[Audio] EMERGENCY RESPONSE.. EMERGENCY RESP O NSE.

[Audio] When an incident is judged to pose an immediate danger, contact your immediate supervisor or project leader. If the incident is a major fire or building incident, PULL fire alarm, LEAVE and call 999 from a safe location. You can the number below in case of emergency..

[Audio] Emergency Escape Route. Always know your emergency escape route and assembly point. Always know the nearest fire extinguisher and first aid kit area..

[Audio] Fire Extinguisher. Always know your nearest fire extinguisher in the premise. To put out a small fire, remember the phrase PASS. Pull, aim, squeez and sweep..

[Audio] In CCR, ABC powder type fire extinguishers are available. It can be used for THREE classes of fire. A for wood, paper and textiles. B for flammable liquids. C for gaseous fires. Also for live electrical equipment..

[Audio] Fire Alarm. Fire alarm is located near the front exit of the building staircase. Activate by pressing hard on the box to break the glass. Exit Locations & Assembly Point. There are TWO exits. Front and Back of the building. Assembly point is at the parking lot at right and left side of the building..

[Audio] SAFE WORK PRACTICE.. SAFE WORK PRACTICE. 10.

[Audio] KNOW YOUR SIGNS!. Red for prohibition, blue is mandatory sign, green is safe condition, yellow is hazard sign, fire sign for fire equipment and information sign for general information..

[Audio] Personal Protection Equipment ( PPE). A person who handles chemicals in a place of work must use protective clothing or equipment as instructed to ensure health and safety at the workplace. Whenever you step in the lab area, you MUST wear closed toe shoes and lab coat. Whenever you handle chemicals in the lab, you MUST wear lab coat, safety glass, chemical gloves and closed toe shoes..

[Audio] Gloves. Always use gloves to avoid contact to chemical and contamination. 2 types of disposal gloves available in the lab. Latex or Nitrile..

[Audio] Fume Hood operation. Located at the ground floor general lab. Use fume hood to Isolate chemicals that produce hazardous fume such as acetone and toluene. Contain spills by using a spill container. Control inhalation exposure. NEVER leave solvents in the fume hood until they evaporate. Always wear your PPE such as glove, shoe, lab, goggles and lab coat. Make sure the sash or window is opened at indicated level and clear of obstacles for effective ventilation..

[Audio] Labeling. Take labeling very seriously. There should NEVER be any unlabeled liquid in the lab. All bottles/ beakers/ flasks must have a label stating what is inside and be dated. Use stickers and permanent pen to label. Bottles that have been emptied must be rinsed, label removed, and placed in a shelf for reuse or thrown away. Always READ the labels of the chemicals. If using a chemical for the first time, read the SDS..

[Audio] Housekeeping. ALWAYS tidy up the lab workbench area. Keep it clean to keep it safe. ALWAYS cleanup all apparatus and glassware upon completion of your experiment by the end of the day. ALWAYS return/restore lab items such as chemicals, equipment and glassware to its original storage spot after use. Items belonged to specific project should be clearly labeled. All equipment should be inspected and calibrated before use. Learn how to do this. Refill the squeeze bottle for DI water, alcohol or acetone and restocks the chemicals..

[Audio] Waste Disposal. Waste should be disposed properly in waste storage area. DO NOT dispose of chemical waste down the drain / sink. Always check SDS if unsure of the waste disposal method. Always LABEL the waste container with its NAME and DATE..

[Audio] If unsure, check the SDS or ask the lab personnel..

[Audio] Emergency Eyewash / Shower Station. Located at ground floor general lab and first floor MIC lab. Provide on-the-spot decontamination in case of chemical splash to the eyes and skin. avoidable if PPE is worn out. At least 20 min wash is required to flush away the irritants prior to any medical treatment..

[Audio] First Aid Kit. As an emergency care for injury before medical treatment is available. What the kit contains. Cotton wool, bandage, Plasters, Acriflavine lotion, Antiseptic cream, Tweezer, scissor and Alcohol swabs. Check first aid kit's expiry date..

[Audio] Spills. A spill is considered any liquid poured on the floor. Possible of health, slip, and electrical hazards. Attend to spills immediately. Post the CAUTION sign. Always report spills to the lab personnel..

[Audio] Oil Spills. Follow the 4 steps. Protect, confine, clean up and dispose..

[Audio] CHEMICAL HYGIENE.. 0 00 0 00 00. CH E MICAL HYGIE N E.

[Audio] SDS or MSDS. Safety Data Sheet (SDS), previously known as Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is prepared for each chemical by its manufacturer. It describes the physical and chemical properties of the product, the hazards, and appropriate emergency response procedures..

[Audio] SDS of common chemicals are kept in at every lab for reference. If using chemicals for the first time, ALWAYS read the SDS. If purchasing new chemicals, ALWAYS request for SDS and submit a copy to the library. Typical information required on a SDS/ MSDS is on table below. Always READ your SDS/MSDS and make a summary on the hazard, mitigation and disposal practice..

[Audio] Physical Hazards. ALWAYS recognize the labels. Flammable substances, Corrosive substances, Reactive substances and Compressed gases..

[Audio] Compressed gas cylinder. Gas cylinder used at CCR are Oxygen, CO2 and nitrogen..

[Audio] Chemical Hazards. Short term health effect such as dizziness, nausea, headache, Irritation to eyes, nose, throat, respiratory tract, Short of breath, chest pain, persistent cough, wheezing. Long-term health effects such as Internal organ damage, reproductive problems and cancer..

[Audio] Personal Hygiene. ALWAYS wash your hands before leaving the laboratory, or visiting the toilet. DO NOT wear gloves and enter the office area. Gloves are only permissible in the lab area. DO NOT wear glove while operating polisher. DO NOT touch surfaces that may be touched by others with your contaminated gloves. NO eating or drinking in the lab. Avoid having loose hair, loose sleeve and bracelets in close proximity to chemicals.

[Audio] Glassware Cleaning. How to tell if glassware is CLEAN? The glass should wet uniformly without any meniscus pulls away. Cleaning. Always wash glassware immediately after use. Soak with detergent & clean with a brush. Use Chromic acid for tough stain. De-grease by wiping with paper towel and soaked with acetone. Rinse with running tap water. Then, thoroughly fill & shake at least 5 times. Finally rinse with distilled water at least 3 times. Final rinse with distilled water and invert it to let gravity-drain. Store in a closed cupboard to avoid dust. DO NOT leave unwashed glassware overnight!..

[Audio] Job Safety Analysis ( JSA).. JOB SAFETY ANALYSISWSA).

[Audio] JSA is a document that integrates safety & health principles into a particular job operation. JSA consists of THREE main components: Breakdown of task into steps starting, conducting, ending of jobs. Potential hazards. Preventive action to control the hazard and list of PPE required. All experiments in the lab require JSA. You can refer to past JSA sheet kept in front desk library for similar experiment. For new experiment, discuss the JSA with your project leader. Submit the new JSA to front desk for approval. Complete your JSA and obtain the approval prior starting any experimental work..

[Audio] Document your JSA in standard format to identify the task's hazards and recognize the SAFE way to complete it..

[Audio] Submit your JSA to front desk and attach a copy in your lab book..

[Audio] Fill up and Display the test notification form near your test location..

[Audio] SAFETY IS EVERYONE RESPONSIBILITY! HELP us and help yourself to make safety your number one priority..
