Safety in Laboratory Flashcards
All personnel involved in laboratory activities must have adequate knowledge of proper chemical handling to reduce the chance of having laboratory related accidents
True
Observing threshold limit values and permissible exposure limits is one of the general principle in working with laboratory chemicals
True
Accident prevention program must not be present up to date
False
Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) is a written progran developed and implemented by the employer which sets from health hazard presented by hazardous chemical used in that particular workplace
True
He is appointed to performe safety related activities such as review of Hazardous properties of chemicals and MSDS, proper labeling and checking for compliance in safety related activities
Safety Officer
A written program developed and implemented by the employer which sets forth procedures, equipment, ppe and work practices that focuses on protecting employees from health hazards
Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP)
It has been used as a means of determining how to implement practical and feasible control measures
Hierarchy of Controls
Rounding the sharp edge of equipment to prevent workers injury by sharp edges is an example of
Elimination
You change the eay of work
Administrative controls
Isolating people from the hazard
Engineering controls
Involves replacing one chemical/process foe anothwe with lower physical and health hazards.
Substitution
Using digital thermometer instead of mercury is an example of
Substitution
Using fume hood glove box and putting chemical cabinets is an example of
Engineering controls
Are set to reduce employee exposure from hazards it includes low level of protection and less reliable controls that involve work methods or procedures designed to minimize exposure to hazards
Administrative control
This is the last line of defense from hazard and the supplementary method of control when exposure to hazards cannot be engineered completely out of normal operations
PPE
Reduces lights to soecific wavelength that enters the eyes
Laser safety glasses
Offer protection from flginf debris only
Impact goggles
Used togetherbwith splash goggles when working with chemicals that can cause immediate damage to the skin or eyes
Face shield
Used when dealing with chemicals and infectious substance or even flying debris that may reach the eyes
Chemical splash goggles
Thisbis generally used when working with solutions that are not likely to damage eyes
General safety glasses
Gloves used when working with biological hazards such as human blood fluids or pathogens specimens
Disposable latex
Gloves when working with chemical splash hazards and biological and splash hazards
Disposable nitrile
Used when working with biological hazards
Disposable vinyl
We use _____ when working with small volumes of corrosive liquids organic solvents flammable compounds
Natural rubber latex
