2. • Introduction
• Chemical safety measures
• Personal protective Equipment
• Safety Equipment
• Knowledge about chemicals
• Good Lab Practices
• Safely dispose off hazardous waste

3. • Chemical Safety is achieved by undertaking all activities
involving chemicals in such a way as to ensure the safety of
human health and the environment.

4. • A chemically safe environment needs Protocols, rules,
procedures and standards (ISO 17025).
• Chemical safety measures include
a) Personal protective Equipment (PPEs)
b) Safety Equipment
c) Knowledge about chemicals
d) Good Lab practices (GLP’s)

5. • Place your gadgets outside
lab
• Wear lab coat
• Wear gloves while handling
the chemicals
• Wear face mask
• Shoe covers
• Hair net
• Do not wear sandal or open
toe shoes

6. • Eye Washers
• Safety Showers
• Fire Extinguishers
• First Aid Kits
Must know the location
of safety equipment's
Must delivered proper
trainings
Record maintenance

7. • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
• Chemical Label

8. • Chemical Identification
• Hazardous Identification
• Composition
• First Aid
• Firefighting
• Accidental Release
• Handling and Storage
• Exposure Control and Personal
Protection
• Physical and Chemical Properties
• Stability and Reactivity
• Toxicology

9. • Product information
• Precautionary word
• Safety Instructions
• Precautionary Pictogram
• First Aid Instruction
• Supplier Information (Should be certified from ISO 17034)
• Manufacturing and Expiry Date
• Batch no
• Date of opening

13. • Do not eat, drink or smoke in lab premises.
• Do not put electrical wires open
• Never sniff unintentionally and taste any
chemical
• Use break resistant containers for
transportation
• Keep flammable chemicals away from all
burning sources
• Keep liquid away from electric sources
• Use heat resistant gloves to handle hot
chemicals

14. • Clean spills immediately
• Don’t place glassware at the edge of shelves.
• Don’t touch broken glass with naked hands.
• Use fume hood to handle the volatile and hazardous
chemicals.
• Never leave chemical container open
• Close chemicals lid tightly
• Don’t use mouth suction for pipetting
• Store chemicals at appropriate temperature
• Technical staff must have access of MSDS , safety manuals
and relevant SOP’s.

15. • Dilute the concentrated acid and base with water in ration 1:10
• Neutralize acid with base and base with acid and dilute again.
• Store chemical waste in appropriate container i.e. plastic bottles
are proffered over glass bottles for the storage of hazardous
chemicals waste when combustibility is not an issue.
• Chemical waste container must be labeled, the word hazardous
waste should be mentioned.
• Now drain the chemicals in sewer systems or in remote area by
burial in a trench
• Combustible chemicals should slowly be added in an open pit,
cover with scrap wood and burn (ignite with “det cord”)
