Safety and Gantt Charts ChE 477 (UO Lab) Larry Baxter & Stan Harding Brigham Young University
Outline • Lab safety. • General location of fire pulls (building exits). • Fire extinguisher types and locations (four in lab). • Safety standards organizations (ANSI, NFPA, etc.). • Gantt charts. • Project management triangle. • Gantt charts. • Microsoft project.
MSDS Sheets • Written differently by different companies but should have similar information. • Generally conservative. • Often need interpretation by qualified professionals (you).
Origins of Safety Rules • Desire to protect yourself and colleagues from undue hazards. • Legal requirements. • Threats of lawsuits.

Standards Organization (Cont’d) • Standards organizations are generally not government agencies and do not write laws or regulations. • Standards acquire regulatory importance when cited in contracts or regulations/laws.
Project Organization • Objective. • Complete project safely, on time, within budget, and within specifications. • Foresee project’s future.
Project Management Triangle • Time • Resources • Budget • People • Facilities • Specifications • Scope • Requirements Time Resources Specifications
Steps to Manage Project • Analyze project • Divide task into units • Establish relationships between units • Schedule units beginning as early as possible • Adjust schedule to meet deadlines and constraints
