Our biggest concern is your safety!!!
Evacuation Procedures:1. When the alarm sounds leave the building immediately through the nearest exit.2. Alert others to the emergency and ask if they will need help in evacuation.3. Do not use elevators unless instructed to do so by emergency personnel.
• Proceed to the Southeast entrance of Burton Morgan Center• If the Burton Morgan Center is closed (after-hours) then
proceed to the police station lobby.
Safety and Emergency Response Procedures
Laboratory Orientation
BNC Fire Alarm• IMMEDIATELY evacuate the building using
the nearest exit– Do not use the elevators– Ask others in your area if they need assistance
BNC Toxic Gas Alarm• IMMEDIATELY evacuate the building• Use the North, South, and East exits
– Do NOT exit by the gas rooms
• Do not use the elevators

Tornado/Take Cover Alarm
• Move to a designated storm safe area
• Stay away from windows• Do not call 911 unless you
require emergency assistance
Laboratory OrientationSafety and Emergency Response Procedures
Tornado Shelter Areas
Laboratory SpillsAll spills in the laboratory must be reported to a
Laboratory Staff member immediately to remediate the spill as quickly as possible.
This includes biological materials.
Safety and Emergency Response Procedures

Bodily Fluid SpillsDo not try to clean this up. Follow the Purdue University
Blood-borne Pathogen procedures.Medical Emergency
1. Call 911 or use the Emergency Call Box to report the incident.2. Don’t move the victim unless safety dictates.
Safety and Emergency Response Procedures
Laboratory Orientation
Policies• Building Emergency Plan can be found at:
– https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/birck/operations/safety.php and click on the Building Emergency Plan link under “Helpful Safety Links” at the bottom of the page.
• Lab access– Training is required for escorted access to the labs.– Visitors are allowed
• Lab visitors must be accompanied at all times by a certified lab user.
– Visitors may not handle Hazardous Materials or Equipment
All personnel entering the Birck Nanofabrication Laboratories are required to wear:
• Fully enclosed shoes• Full leg covering – long pants & skirts• Safety glasses (in labs marked as required)
– Personnel entering the Nanofabrication Laboratories must not wear contact lenses.
• Working with chemicals and in fume hoods require additional PPE
Policies
• Pouring chemicals– Splash proof goggles, face shield, chemical resistant apron and
gloves• Chemicals (fume hoods)
– There are two types of fume hoods, acid and solvent.
Policies
NEVER PUT SOLVENTS DOWN DRAINS
Policies
Electronic Ordering & Lab Supplies Ariba
– All chemical orders MUST have an up to date SDS attached to the order for approval by Steve Jurss (BNC Safety Officer)
– All orders must be made using the University’s new electronic ordering system
Lab Supplies delivered daily – give at least 24 hours– Request supplies through Lorraine Fox
foxl@purdue.edu– CR stocked in AM, Labs stocked in PM
Ordering Chemicals• If you need to arrange training to place orders in
Ariba, please contact the BNC Business Office or Secretarial Staff. If there is enough interest in this training, they can arrange to have a class given on site.
• If you have questions in regard to the pre-approved chemical list, please contact Stephen Jurss. If you have questions related to the ordering process, please contact the BNC Business Office or Secretarial Staff.

Gas Cylinders
• Gas cylinders must be changed by designated, trained staff personnel.
• DO NOT attempt to change a gas cylinder.– Contact staff before weekend run to verify gas level.
• NO hazardous process gas will be placed in a laboratory
Laboratory OrientationGas and Chemical Delivery Procedures
Gloves are for your protection and the protection of the equipment or process
• Gloves may not be used to:– Open doors– Answer Phones
Laboratory OrientationGloves
• Laser Laboratories– The foremost concern is the danger to one’s eyes and
exposed skin. The user must be trained and certified on working the laser and wear the appropriate eyewear protection.
– Contact REM for laser safety training.• Biology Laboratories
– For biological hazards, special training is necessary.– Contact REM for biological safety training.
• X-Ray sources– Contact REM for X-ray safety training
Special Hazards
Policies
• No food or drinks in labs, galley or subfab.• No Smoking anywhere in the building.• PPE requirements are for all times
Citizenship Violations - Equipment• The Birck disciplinary committee is comprised of two faculty
members, a staff scientist, a student representative, and the engineering manager. Policy and safety violations are first discussed between the engineering manager and the violator(s), after which the level of discipline is recommended to the committee, who determines the final disposition of the issue. The committee can decide penalties from restricted access to suspension, depending on severity.
• All users are responsible for cleaning up after themselves and for leaving their work areas ready for use by others.
• If any user is observed leaving a mess in a hood or near equipment, or leaving an unattended tote not in its proper storage location, they will be subjected to mandatory participation in 4 hours of weekly staff support duties, or a one-week suspension of all cleanroom privileges. This means denied access to the cleanroom for one week.

Some old familiar labelsand numbering systemswill become less used
Some new classifications, new numbering systems, and new “label elements” and labels will become what we teach and learn
MSDSs will be called SDSs Section 2 will provide Classifications Label elements▪ Pictograms▪ Signal word▪ Precautionary statement▪ Hazard statements
Danger, or Warning, or no word
Teaching and learning the meanings of the GHS: Classifications Label elements▪ Pictograms▪ Signal word▪ Precautionary statement▪ Hazard statements
P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
RTK TRAINING• Control Methods
– ways to reduce exposure to chemical products
• personal protective equipment– gloves– goggles– respirators– other
• engineering– local exhaust ventilation– remote handling of materials
• administrative– limit work time – rotate work groups– break areas separate from work areas– no smoking, eating, drinking, or applying
cosmetics in work area
Effectiveness of PPE
RTK TRAINING• LOCAL
– Involves one site in the body, usually the point of contact
• Skin irritation or burns• Eye irritation or burns• Upper respiratory tract irritation
• SYSTEMIC– Involves more than one part of the body,
not just the point of contact• Central nervous system:
– headaches, dizziness, nausea, etc.• Organ damage: liver, lungs, etc.• Cancer
