  3. INFORMATION ABOUT CHEMICALS

  4. REGULATIONS FOR INFORMATION ON CHEMICALS • Hazard Communication Standard - 1983 • Laboratory Standard – 1990 Chemical Hygiene Plan

  5. WHERE TO GET INFO ?? • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) Manufacturer / vendor http://ilpi.com/msds http://webbook.nist.gov

  6. International Chemical Safety Cards NIOSH/WHO/International Program on Chemical Safety/International Chemical Safety Cards/US National Version http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ipcs/nicstart.html

  8. STORAGE OF CHEMICALS

  9. INVENTORY * Inventory All Chemicals Should include: Chemical name and formula Date received (or put on inventory) Approximate amount of reagent present Storage location Any significant hazards

  13. STORAGE ARRANGEMENT Not Everything in Alphabetical Order !!! Organize Chemicals By Compatible Groups !! * In separate rooms or different shelf locations within the same room. * In designated storage cabinets.

  14. General Classes By Compatibility • Flammables • Acids • Bases • Oxidizers • Water Reactive Chemicals • Extremely Toxic / Poisonous Chemicals • Peroxide-Forming Chemicals

  15. PRIMARY REFERENCES • Flinn Safety Catalog • Chemical Safety For Teachers and Their Supervisors: Grades 7-12, American Chemical Society • Md. State Science Manual K-12
