A. Procedure for ‘Register-In’ Chemicals (Primary Chemical Storage)

2. Register in Chemicals Log Book (in Ceramic Laboratory)

3. Label with orange sticker Information needed on the sticker:

Name of owner & phone no.Date register:Hazard type:Expiry date:

4. Attach with the MSDS of the

chemicals

B(I): Procedure for ‘Register-Out’ of Chemicals (Common Chemicals)

3. Record in Register-Out Chemicals Log Book (in

Ceramic Lab)

4. Measure/weigh the allowable amounts and stored into a new Secondary Bottles/Container.

*Need to bring own bottle (glass typed – for liquid) and close container (for powder) as a

secondary container.

*Should be monitored by Penolong Jurutera

*Follow the safety conduct of handling chemicals (wear proper PPEs)

5. Label with yellow sticker

Information needed on the sticker:

Name of chemical:Name of student &

phone no.:Name of owner & phone

no.

1. Ask Permission from the Owner’s of the Chemicals (Lecturer)

2. 1. Make appointment with PenolongJurutera (Mr. Helmi – h/p: 0123738652 or

Mr. Hairulhisham- 012-9625883)

6. Store into Secondary Chemical Storage (Common) and ready for

experimental works

B(II): Procedure for ‘Register-Out’ of Chemicals (Special Chemicals)

3. Record in Register-Out Chemicals Log Book (in

Ceramic Lab)

4. Measure/weigh the allowable amounts and stored into a new Secondary Bottles/Container.

*Need to bring own bottle (glass typed – for liquid) and close container (for powder) as a

secondary container.

*Should be monitored by Penolong Jurutera

*Follow the safety conduct of handling chemicals (wear proper PPEs)

5. Label with yellow sticker

Information needed on the sticker:

Name of chemical:Name of student &

phone no.:Name of owner & phone

no.

1. Only Owner’s of the Chemicals are allowed

2. 1. Make appointment with PenolongJurutera (Mr. Helmi – h/p: 0123738652 or

Mr. Hairulhisham- 012-9625883)

6. Store into Secondary Chemical Storage (Special) and ready for experimental

works

Secondary Chemical Storage (Common) in Materials Lab 1

• Entitled for All Chemicals and Other Potentially Hazardous Raw Materials Registered-Out for Experimental Work

• Can only be Registered-Out using Secondary Bottle/Container into Common SECONDARY STORAGE (Open Cabinet)

• Use Yellow Sticker for Register-OUT

• ITEMS UNDER RESPONSIBILITY OF THOSE who had registered-out the chemicals

• ALLOWABLE PERIOD: ONLY 3 MONTHS (After 3 months, it is entitled for disposal)• Can ONLY re-dated with the permission of HOD

COMMON8

Secondary Chemical Storage (Special) in Materials Lab 1

• To store Chemicals with followings Consideration only:• Consideration 1: Rare earth elements- easy to oxidize under

ambient temperature• Consideration 2: Highly contamination sensitive experiment• Consideration 3: High volume/amount of chemicals utilized in

experimental run (less than 3 months time)

• Can only be registered-out by the Owner’s of the chemicals

• Register-out one whole bottles (main container) to secondary storage (blue cabinet)

• Use pink sticker for register-out

• Open container (items under responsibility of the students and owner)

• Allowable period: 6 months or more (can only be stored more than 6 months with the permission by HOD)

Good Practice for Chemicals Handling (Registering Out of Chemicals)

1. Get Permission

from Owner (if applicable)

2. Carefully take out the main

bottles from Primary Storage3. Register-out the chemicals into

Register Log Book

*Can only be registered-out /the procedures can only be performed under the supervision of Penolong Jurutera

10

4. For powder Weighing according to the amount allowed by owner

5. Proper way of

transporting chemicals from location to location

6. For liquid Measure liquid as allowed by owner in fume hood

7. Transfer into

secondary container in fume hood

11

8. Use yellow sticker to

register out the chemicals

9. Stick the sticker to

secondary bottle with details to ease the disposal

12

C. Experiment in Progress (To notify the hazard of chemicals/mixed chemicals involved during the experiments)

1. Notify the Penolong Jurutera

2. Secure the form temporarily near to the Experimental Set-Up

13

C. Disposal of Chemicals/Mixed Chemicals

1. Make appointment or refer Penolong Jurutera (Mr. Helmi –h/p: 0123738652 or Mr. Hairulhisham- 012-9625883)
