2011 Safety Inspection: Improvements
Less accumulation of waste chemicals before processing for disposal
Storage of toxics/carcinogens not used
Storage of large quantities when less is sufficient
![Page 18: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Common issues
Particular things that we’ll be looking for…
![Page 19: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Disposing old equipment
Take responsibility to find out if there are any ‘items of concern’ in equipment that you’re going to dispose. Can’t simply throw everything away any more.
•Toxic materials, such as PCBs, dyes, batteries, etc. must be disposed properly.
New State Law: No electronics may be thrown in the trash.
If you are unsure, contact us. The safety committee can help.
![Page 20: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Syringes
Considered PIMW* – must not be disposed in trash.Waste transfer station workers can’t tell the difference.
Syringes must always be disposed in a Sharps container...
•Syringes of any material
•Any part of a syringe (needles, bodies, plungers)
•Regardless of use
•includes unused syringes
* Potentially Infected Medical Waste
Sharps containers & their disposal are free.

Water lines
Water lines must be reinforced tubing.
Connections must be clamped.
Secured
Nylon reinforced PVC
![Page 23: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Water lines
Water lines that aren’t pressurized are exempt but must still be secure.
Example: water lines that free-flow into the drain.
Secured
Bad Good

UCLA fatal tert-butyl lithium fire - Dec, 2008
Very brief summary
•While dispensing t-BuLi, syringe plunger popped out of syringe body, material splashed onto her clothes.•The material ignited. (It’s pyrophoric)•Knocked over an open flask of Hexane – which also ignited.•Fire ignited her polyester sweater, severely burning her arms and upper torso.

UCLA fatal tert-butyl lithium fire - Dec, 2008
Complex case, nonetheless a few basic lessons can be related:
•PPE! No lab coat worn•Amount of material vs. capacity of container 50mL/60mL•Unrelated chemicals in work area•Know the location of, and use emergency equipment•Think about what else you’re wearing: Synthetic materials like polyester described as being “analogous to solid gasoline.”*•Don’t take things for granted (more later)•Undoubtedly more.
* Neal Langerman, founder of Advanced Chemical Safety in an ACS report http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/87/i04/8704news1.html

UCLA fatal tert-butyl lithium fire - Dec, 2008
Consequences:
•Injuries were fatal•Questions of training, hazard identification, lab safety practices, supervision.•Felony charges have been filed against UC and against professor

Texas Tech Nickel hydrazine perchlorate explosion – Jan, 2010
Very brief summary
•Students synthesized 10 grams of material instead of 100 milligrams max. •5th year grad student removing ‘lumps’ in 5g portion of the material with a mortar & pestle.•Set the materials down and removed goggles.•Returned to give it one more stir, neglecting to don goggles.•Material exploded, causing the loss of 3 digits on left hand, lacerating right hand, perforating left eye, scratching right eye, etc.

Texas Tech Nickel hydrazine perchlorate explosion – Jan, 2010
Complex case, nonetheless a few basic lessons can be related:
•PPE! Removed eye protection before last ‘stir’ then failed to put it back on.•Researcher’s space was disorganized, items not labeled. Conflicts over space, cleanliness, use of chemicals.•Students were apparently told there was a 100mg limit – no documentation to support this.•No notes taken during the experiment, uncertainty over the material synthesized.•Undoubtedly more.
![Page 30: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Consequences:
•Injuries•Questions of training, supervision•Documentation of training and restrictions imposed on students essentially nonexistent.•TTU overhauls its safety structure.•Acknowledgement that lab standards focus on health and exposure hazards, but physical hazard information is way behind, or missing
Texas Tech Nickel hydrazine perchlorate explosion – Jan, 2010
These two incidents focusing attention to lab safety in academia.
![Page 31: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Seemingly endless, minute safety details make sense and protect researchers, but are not necessarily complete.
• Familiarity can be the enemy – you do some things every day.
• Almost inevitably, perception of risk may change, but the risks do not.
One of the big challenges in keeping safety measures prominent in the minds of researchers
Lessons - in a broad sense.
![Page 32: 2012 MRL Safety Inspection Pre-Inspection Meeting - Feb 08, 2012.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649d985503460f94a832ee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Try not to take things for granted.• Reporting of incidents and near misses are a way
for everyone to learn.• SOP template includes a signature line for
documentation of training – this isn’t by chance.
• Without documentation, essentially no training has occurred in the eyes of investigating bodies.
Lessons - in a broad sense.
