Chemical safety
WARNING! GENERAL CHEMICAL HANDLING. To minimize hazards,
ensure laboratory personnel read and practice the general safety guidelines for
chemical usage, storage, and waste provided below, and consult the relevant
SDS for specific precautions and instructions:
·
Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) provided by the
chemical manufacturer before you store, handle, or work with any chemicals
or hazardous materials. To obtain SDSs, see the “Documentation and
Support” section in this document.
·
Minimize contact with chemicals. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment when handling chemicals (for example, safety glasses, gloves, or
protective clothing).
·
Minimize the inhalation of chemicals. Do not leave chemical containers open.
Use only with adequate ventilation (for example, fume hood).
·
Check regularly for chemical leaks or spills. If a leak or spill occurs, follow
the manufacturer's cleanup procedures as recommended in the SDS.
·
Handle chemical wastes in a fume hood.
·
Ensure use of primary and secondary waste containers. (A primary waste
container holds the immediate waste. A secondary container contains spills
or leaks from the primary container. Both containers must be compatible
with the waste material and meet federal, state, and local requirements for
container storage.)
·
After emptying a waste container, seal it with the cap provided.
·
Characterize (by analysis if necessary) the waste generated by the particular
applications, reagents, and substrates used in your laboratory.
·
Ensure that the waste is stored, transferred, transported, and disposed of
according to all local, state/provincial, and/or national regulations.
·
IMPORTANT! Radioactive or biohazardous materials may require special
handling, and disposal limitations may apply.
WARNING! HAZARDOUS WASTE (from instruments). Waste produced by
the instrument is potentially hazardous. Follow the guidelines noted in the
preceding General Chemical Handling warning.
