It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand completely the meaning and portent of what is described herein. Further, you must ensure that you understand spoken commands issued in English as these pertain to safety issues, particularly with regard to any emergency procedure. HKUST policy requires that all personnel, including visitors, wear eye protection at all times while in Chemistry Department experimental laboratories. Not to do so may incur disciplinary action. Eye protection is discussed in detail in Chapter 4.1 of this Safety Manual. Whenever chemical waste is added to a chemical waste container, immediately enter the information of the new waste to the chemical waste log sheet attached to the container. Whenever equipment or apparatus is to be used, irrespective of its complexity, it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand fully its operation, and all emergency procedures in the event of equipment failure. An equipment malfunction due to improper use arising as a result of lack of knowledge of the equipment, or carelessness, amounts to academic misconduct, and will be treated as such. This also applies if there is a fire, flood or other incident arising as a result of improper use of equipment. iv List of Tables Table Description Chapter I Glove Selection Table 4.2 II Listing of Carcinogenic Compounds by Reactivity or Functional 5.1.1 Group III Partial Listing of Reproductive Toxins 5.1.2 IV OSHA Toxicity Definition 5.1.5 V HMIS Rating Criteria for Acute Toxicity 5.1.5 VI Chemical Groups that Characterize Explosive Compounds 5.1.8 VII Flash Points of Common Solvents 5.3 VIII Peroxidizable Functional Groups 5.3.2 IX Examples of Incompatible Chemicals 5.3.4 X Partial List of Select Carcinogens in Alphabetical Order 6.1.1 XI Partial List of Compounds with a Highly Degree of Acute Toxicity 6.1.3 v 1.0 Introduction Preamble The Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance (OHSO) passed by the Hong Kong Government in 1997 stresses the importance of a safety management programme which integrates all aspects of work place safety with line management and responsibility of individuals engaged in any operation involving chemicals, machinery, or energy source. According to the University Health, Safety and Environment Office (HSEO), effective department safety management incorporates the following elements: 1. Accountability: Department heads are accountable for the safety performance of their staff and employees and for the safe conduct of tasks in the department. HSEO provides assistance to help departments in achieving this goal. 2. Clear statement of safety policy and procedures: Each department must have a safety policy in line with the University's general safety policy, and which contains procedures which address operations specific to the department. 3. Departmental Safety Officer: The department must have a faculty member as the Safety Officer for the department. The appointee carries the department head's authority in implementing safety. Other faculty members, technical staff and student members assist the Safety Officer in implementing safety measures. 4. Departmental Safety Committee The department must have a safety committee to address safety issues within the department, to monitor safety performance including performing safety inspections and to assist HSEO with the formulation of safety policies within the department. In conjunction with HSEO, this Committee must review accident statistics and take the appropriate corrective actions. 5. Safety Performance Evaluation Safety is emphasized as an integral part of any job. It is as important to do a job correctly as to do it safely. Employees are held accountable to follow safety procedures in doing the job. As part of an employee's performance appraisal, safety compliance needs to be one of the elements to be considered. 6. Responsibility of Faculty Members in Ensuring Safety Safety is a line responsibility. Faculty members are responsible for ensuring that their employees and students are aware of the potential hazards associated with their operations. They and the personnel under their supervision must be familiar with the required safety controls and emergency procedures. 7. Responsibility of Faculty Members in Ensuring Job Specific Safety Training While HSEO provides a number of general safety courses, supervisors are responsible for adopting guidelines stated in HSEO's general safety courses, to address specific operations in their own laboratories. This on-the-job training should include specific methods for handling specific hazardous agents used in the particular laboratory as well as the specific emergency response procedures appropriate for that laboratory. Supervisors are responsible for conducting job-specific safety training. 1-1 8. Regular Laboratory Inspections Safety inspections should be conducted as a joint effort involving all personnel for promotion and safety assurance. Supervisors are required to perform periodic safety inspections of their own laboratories to monitor for compliance with established safety procedures. In addition, the departmental Safety Committee and HSEO conduct announced and unannounced safety inspections of laboratories to provide feedback to management on safety performance. 9. The Provision for Work Stoppage in Case of Doubt Employees and students are required to consult their supervisors if they feel unsure of the operation. Supervisors should monitor the performance of students and employees and take positive action including stopping work, where necessary, when hazardous situations are spotted. HSEO has the authority to stop operation when any imminently dangerous situation is observed or when repeated safety violations occur. 10. Departmental Liaison and Cooperation with HSEO HSEO holds regular meetings with department heads to evaluate safety performance, compliance issues, accident data and inspection findings. HSEO provides consultation and services to help faculty members in implementing safety measures. These services include facility and operational planning, laboratory inspections and audits, general safety training, exposure assessment, medical surveillance, etc. Departmental management must co-operate with HSEO in addressing safety concerns.

  • Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List
    School Emergency Response Plan and Management Guide Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED CHEMICAL LIST Introduction After incidents of laboratory chemical contamination at several schools, DCPS, The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and DC Fire and Emergency Management Services developed an aggressive program for chemical control to eliminate student and staff exposure to potential hazardous chemicals. Based upon this program, all principals are required to conduct a complete yearly inventory of all chemicals located at each school building to identify for the removal and disposal of any prohibited/banned chemicals. Prohibited chemicals are those that pose an inherent, immediate, and potentially life- threatening risk, injury, or impairment due to toxicity or other chemical properties to students, staff, or other occupants of the school. These chemicals are prohibited from use and/or storage at the school, and the school is prohibited from purchasing or accepting donations of such chemicals. Restricted chemicals are chemicals that are restricted by use and/or quantities. If restricted chemicals are present at the school, each storage location must be addressed in the school's written emergency plan. Also, plan maps must clearly denote the storage locations of these chemicals. Restricted chemicals—demonstration use only are a subclass in the Restricted chemicals list that are limited to instructor demonstration. Students may not participate in handling or preparation of restricted chemicals as part of a demonstration. If Restricted chemicals—demonstration use only are present at the school, each storage location must be addressed in the school's written emergency plan. Section 7: Appendices – October 2009 37 School Emergency Response Plan and Management Guide Prohibited and Restricted Chemical List Following is a table of chemicals that are Prohibited—banned, Restricted—academic curriculum use, and Restricted—demonstration use only.

  • Chemical Innovation Technologies to Make Processes and Products More Sustainable
    United States Government Accountability Office Center for Science, Technology, and Engineering Natural Resources and Environment Report to Congressional Requesters February 2018 TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT Chemical Innovation Technologies to Make Processes and Products More Sustainable GAO-18-307 The cover image displays a word cloud generated from the transcript of the meeting we convened with 24 experts in the field of sustainable chemistry. The size of the words in the cloud corresponds to the frequency with which each word appeared in the transcript. In most cases, similar words—such as singular and plural versions of the same word— were combined into a single term. Words that were unrelated to the topic of sustainable chemistry were removed. The images around the periphery are stylized representations of chemical molecules that seek to illustrate a new conceptual framework, whereby molecules can be transformed to provide better performance; however, they are not intended to represent specific chemical compounds.
