  1. Chemical Safety & Security Standard Operating Procedures Document SAND Number: 2012-5196C

  2. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) • Definition: describes how your lab will handle a hazardous chemical • Should Include • Amount and concentration used, • How you obtain or create the working solution • Special handling procedures, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment • Required for any work with hazardous chemicals in laboratories • No specific Format • Can be written into a protocol for describing the steps in an experiment • Example Templates: http://www.safety.duke.edu/OHS/chemsopsTemplates.htm

  3. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), cont’d. • SOPs are: • Dated • When issued • When reviewed • When revised • Have: subject, title and identification code • Officially reviewed by management • Signed by all responsible parties • May include forms • Written in a consistent and official format with numbered pages 3

  4. Standard Operating Procedures(SOPs) Consider written SOPs on: • Security clearance and visitor access • Employee training • Medical surveillance • Respiratory protection and fit • Eye protection • Ventilation system maintenance • Storage, receipt, transport and shipping of hazardous materials • Accident and emergency response including natural disasters • Spill cleanup • Waste management • Hazardous material handling • Special operations, radiation, biosafety, lasers, infectious agents 4

  5. SOP Activity Document SAND Number: 2012-6076 P Sandia is a multi-program laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000

  6. Activity: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) • SOP: A set of steps for carrying out a laboratory task • Scenario: You are a chemist in a Quality Control (QC) lab • Goal: Develop an SOP for preparing a standard acid solution for titration • Get in groups of 4-5 people per group Buret photograph courtesy of Indigo® Instruments

  7. Activity: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) • Refer to the SDS for H2SO4, and the partially completed SOP • In your groups, discuss • Hazards • Chemicals, reactions, and products • Equipment • Storage • Disposal • Security • Controls • Operational • Engineering • PPE • Fill in the blanks to complete the SOP • Be prepared to discuss with the whole class

  8. Activity: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

  9. Activity: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Controls? • Operational • SOP • Substitution • Scale down • Engineering • PPE • Quantity dependent

  10. Activity: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Conclusions • SOP is a set of steps for carrying out a laboratory task safely and securely • PPE-SOP volume specific • Should be part of a formal training procedure • Update regularly • Protects students/workers, faculty, administrators, chemicals/info http://offthewallchemistry.blogspot.com/2011/01/chemistry-cartoons.html
