Chemical Hygiene Plan
For School Laboratories
Powerpoint
The Science Laboratory
Laboratory experiments are crucial to an understanding of science processes and the learning of science content.
The laboratory is a safe learning environment when rules for safety are reviewed and followed.
Why Have a CHP for the WS/FC Schools?
It was developed to document all regulations and work practices including:
training on hazardous substances
proper use of equipment chemical procurement protective safety equipment control measures for storage and
disposal of hazardous chemicals disseminating safety information
Why Have a CHP for WS/FC Schools? (continued)
Provide a safe and healthy workplace
Present safety as a part of instruction
Teachers role modeling appropriate safety protocols
Teachers properly storing and dispensing chemicals
Laboratory Safety-Whose Responsibility?
It is the shared responsibility of:
The School Board, The District Superintendent School Principals Science Department Chairs Science Teachers CH Officers
During an Inventory
• Conduct a thorough lab chemical inventory to get an idea of the types and condition of chemicals in storage.
• Isolate dated and hazardous chemicals for removal.
• Determine whether adequate storage, handling, and purchasing procedures are in place.
• Create a plan to deal with potential explosives.
• Collect MSDS Sheets on each chemical and keep in a notebook and provide a copy of your chemical inventory to your local Fire Department.
• Follow the chemical purging procedures in the
WS/FCS Chemical Hygiene Plan.
After the Inventory
Determine what hazardous waste chemicals must be safely managed and disposed of.
Chemical Disposal Procedures Purge identified chemicals from inventory Waste chemicals should be boxed and stored
by compatible families, and labeled, “To be discarded by Hazardous Waste Team,” and stored in a secure and safe place until picked up.
Complete an on-line work order and send to the Maintenance Department. An e-mail should also be sent to Bill Vaught, and copied to Kim Sutton at the WS/FCS Maintenance Department with the work order number, and a complete inventory of chemicals and their approximate amounts that need to be removed. The e-mail should include the location of the chemicals and the name of a contact person to ensure timely removal.
Avoid This Scenario…
Avoid Shelf Clutter
Avoid Floor Storage
Could This be Your Chemical Storage Scenario?
Aging and unused hazardous chemicals
Poor storage and handling methods.
Acquisition Recommendations
Reasons for an Abundance of Chemicals
Over-estimating necessary quantities
Offered better prices for ordering in bulk
Manufacturers or other businesses donating their excess or “exotic” chemicals
No regular stockroom inventory Poor labeling or no labeling
Safe Storage & Handling
Store Chemicals in compatible groups
Edging along sturdy shelving prevents containers from falling off.
Student Safety Rules
1. Listen to and read all instructions prior to engaging in a lab.
2. Wear appropriate lab wear. (Safety goggles, aprons, and gloves if suggested by the lab)
3. Notify the teacher if spills or any accidents occur.
Monitor All Safety Equipment as indicated by the CHP
Flush eye wash weekly
Flush full body shower monthly
Check for faulty wiring

Laboratory Safety Acrostic
Labeling everything clearly is essential A -- Appropriate containers in good
condition B -- Be careful to follow directions
S -- Store only amounts of reagents you will use
A -- Always wear protective clothing F -- Food is not to be eaten in the lab E -- Everything in its place on a shelf T -- Test safety equipment Y -- You must remember SAFETY
