State Labor and Industry.

What do you do if you, or a student has an accident?


1)Seek medical aid if needed – call 911



2)Report the incident to your supervisor




3)Fill out an accident report form and get witness statements (this should be done for any incident.) This report can be found online. HTTP://www.hrs.wsu.edu/forms/incident_report.aspx




3)Fill out an accident report form and get witness statements (this should be done for any incident.)

4)Print a copy of the report

What is safety?

How do you develop a safe life? (Both in the laboratory and outside.)

In the laboratory – Know the laboratory.


What do you need to know to be safe?



1)Standard Operating Procedures(SOP)




2)Where/How to store chemicals properly





3)Only do authorized experiments





3)Only do authorized experiments

4)The location of safety devices

1)Emergency eyewash, showerWhat type of each and procedure for using the device.

One important resource is yourselfYou need to know yourself.


• Rest ( you need an adequate amount of rest every day)



• Stress (remember there is more to life than work use outside activities to relieve some stress)




• Classes (know what is an acceptable class load for you)




• Classes (know what is an acceptable class load for you)

• Research ( know the expectations of your research group and plan for this)

To operate safely you also need to know about the other residents in the lab.


• Their level of experience


• Their level of experience• Their knowledge of chemistry


• Their level of experience• Their knowledge of chemistry• Their ‘history’ in the lab

phone number.

University SOP’s1)Biowaste.

a)What is a ‘biowaste’?i) In Fulmer and Troy hall most

‘Biowaste’ consists of sharps – needles, syringes, razorblades, etc. Now called ‘Sharps’ and must be segregated from real ‘Biowaste’.

ii) Label with date, room number and phone number.

University SOP’sGlass

In the lab use designated ‘GLASS’ disposal container.



This container must be a lined container (liners are available in the store room or you can order special ‘glass’ disposal containers through the store room)

When full seal the container and take to the dumpster outside Fulmer (Troy) Hall

University/Department SOP’sDangerous chemical waste


What is a dangerous chemical waste


What is a dangerous chemical waste Any waste generated in the lab. (If you have

a question about if the waste is dangerous or not dispose of the waste as dangerous waste.)


What do you do with it?


What do you do with it?1) Date the container at the beginning of the
