Types of EMERGENCY in IMD

• Fire• Chemical spills• High voltage – static electric shock• General lab accidents

FIRE

The reaction will keep going aslong as there is enough heat, fueland oxygen. This is known asthe fire triangle.

Fire is the visible effect of theprocess of combustion – a specialtype of chemical reaction. Itoccurs between oxygen in the airand some sort of fuel.

FIRE EMERGENCY-1

Upon discovery of smoke or flames:• Remove or notify people in life threatening danger• Activate the fire alarm• Contact the security desk, or call _____, and provide the

following information:– Your name– Exact location of the emergency– Size and type of fire (i.e. small garbage can fire)

• If you have been trained, feel capable of doing so, and with another individual use a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire

• Evacuate the building

FIRE EMERGENCY-2

Upon activation of the alarm, everyone is expected to:• Stop work• Secure research materials• Secure or take all personal belongings• Close (DO NOT LOCK) all doors• Proceed in a calm, orderly manner to the nearest stairwell exit• Exit the building and report to your supervisor• Return to workplace or comply with other instructions given by

the proper authority• Re-enter the building only when directed.

Chemical Spill EMERGENCY

• Use safety showers and eyewashes as appropriate. In the case of eye contact, promptly flush eyes with water for a minimum 15-minute period and seek medical attention immediately.

• For ingestion cases, call ______ for medical attention. • In case of skin contact, promptly flush the affected area with

water and remove any contaminated clothing or jewelry. If symptoms persist after washing, seek medical attention.

Hazardous Substance EMERGENCY

• Evacuate the area immediately • Close the door behind you • Contact security at _____ and give:

– Your name & telephone number – Location of incident – Time & type of incident (i.e. spill, fire, leak) – Name & quantity of material(s) involved, if known – Extent of injuries, if any – Possible hazards to human health (e.g., toxic vapors) – Damage to property or environment

HF Safety

Colorless liquid with strong irritating odor, weak mineral acid but: • attacks glass!• extremely corrosive acid, • nonflammable, • very soluble in water

When contaminated washthe area with water and 

apply calcium gluconate gel.

Critical contact areas:

• Skin (most frequent), • Respiratory tract, • Eyes, • Ingestion (rare)

Most HF exposures occur by: • Liquid exposure (splash) (dermal

contact skin & eyes), • Gas exposure (inhalation, skin & eyes)• The onset of pain depends on the

concentration of HF.

Chemical Handling & Safety (I)

• Check out the material safety data sheet (MSDS) before handling chemicals for the first time.

• Chemicals can only be applied inside the assigned acid/solvent benches and hoods

• Wear your personal protective clothing. Use full face shield, acid gloves, and apron.

• Handle the chemical carefully and in a proper way. If you need to carry it somewhere, use a bucket. If it is in large quantity, open it in the fume hood.

• Prefer to use in smaller quantities when possible. Be careful when pouring it in beakers.

• Don’t leave any chemicals on bench tops or other public areas.• In the case of unavoidable short-period absence during a process,

label the material, owner’s name, contact information and returning time clearly near the material in use.

Chemical Handling & Safety (II)

• Chemical Wastes:– No chemicals down the drain!!!– Limited types of chemical mixtures allowed, only those who

have waste bottles available– Follow the instructions of waste material handling procedure

to discard waste chemicals (see labels on the benches)– For unclear items, contact a staff member first– Clearly label waste containers (use provided tags)– Don’t reuse empty containers without permission– Don’t put chemicals back into their original containers

• In Case of Large Chemical Spills: – Immediately report large chemical spills to safety

representatives or cleanroom staff members before cleaning by yourself

Chemical Storage

• New Chemicals:– Do not bring any new chemicals into a cleanroom without

permission of IMDCF Lab Safety Manager– New chemicals should always come with Material Safety Data

Sheets (MSDS)• Chemical Storage and Labeling:

– Large quantities of chemical supplies should be stored outside the cleanrooms in the assigned cabinets

– Chemicals used inside a cleanroom should be stored inside the assigned cabinets

– All chemicals, either purchased or self-mixed, should be clearly labeled

– In addition, owner’s name, group, contact information, and date of storage should be clearly labeled on the container

Housekeeping

• General Perspective:– Keeping cleanrooms clean and organized is every users

responsibility– Enforcement procedures may be necessary to ensure safe and

effective operations• Public Areas:

– Always clean up the working space you have used before moving to the next station

– Don’t leave/store anything on public areas, such as machine tops, bench surfaces, on/under tables, etc., without permission from a IMDCF staff member

• Items Belonging to Individuals:– Keep non-shared items, such as tool boxes, wafers, glassware,

etc., in the storage area assigned to you when not in use

Safety and/or health sign – a sign providing information or instruction

about safety or health at work by means of a signboard, a colour, an

illuminated sign or acoustic signal, a verbal communication or hand

signal.

Accidents may happen… (if precautions are not observed)

Even worse…UCLA's Molecular Sciences Building was mostly closed for the holidays on Dec. 29 as research assistant Sheri Sangji worked on an organic chemistry experiment.Only three months into her job in the lab, the 23-year-old Pomona College graduate was using a plastic syringe to extract from asealed container a small quantity of t-butyl lithium -- a chemical compound that ignites instantly when exposed to air.As she withdrew the liquid, the syringe came apart in her hands, spewing flaming chemicals, according to a UCLA accident report. A flash fire set her clothing ablaze and spread second- and third-degree burns over 43% of her body.Eighteen excruciating days later, Sangji died in a hospital burn unit."It is horrifying," said her sister Naveen, 26, a Harvard medical student. "Sheri wasn't out doing something stupid. She was working in a lab at one of the largest universities in the world. She gets these horrific injuries and loses her life to these injuries and we still don't know how it happened or why it wasn't prevented."Sangji's death was more than a tragic workplace accident. It also raised serious questions about the university's attention to laboratory safety."It was totally preventable," said Neal Langerman, a San Diego consultant and former head of the American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Health and Safety, whose members were given a detailed account of the incident by a University of California safety official."Poor training, poor technique, lack of supervision and improper method. This was just not the right way to transfer these things," Langerman said. "She died, didn't she? It speaks for itself."Two months earlier, UCLA safety inspectors found more than a dozen deficiencies in the same lab, Molecular Sciences Room 4221, according to internal investigative and inspection reports reviewed by The Times. Among the findings: Employees were not wearing requisite protective lab coats, and flammable liquids and volatile chemicals were stored improperly.Chemical Safety Officer Michael Wheatley sent the inspection report to the researcher who oversees the lab, professor PatrickHarran, as well as to the head of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department and a top UCLA safety official. The report directed that problems be fixed by Dec. 5.But the required corrective action was not taken, records show, and on Dec. 29 all that stood between Sangji's torso and the fire that engulfed her was a highly flammable, synthetic sweater that fueled the flames.
