  1. Proper Chemical Handling Procedures

  2. Explosives, Peroxidizable Compounds, and Flammable Compounds: • No flames or sparking materials/equipment present. • Should never be heated or handled near hot surfaces. • Should not be used on vibrating surfaces. • If harmful vapors are emitted, the chemical must be used in a fume hood. • Safety glasses and laboratory coats should be worn at all times.

  3. Peroxides and Oxidizers: • Must be kept away from organic materials. • Keep away from ignition sources including friction and grinding. • Store in a well-ventilated area. • Air Reactive Compounds: • Must be handled in inert gases containing no oxygen. • Can be safely dispensed using a syringe or double-tipped needle. • Do not store near any flammable chemicals.

  4. Water Reactive Compounds: • Must be kept away from water. • Can be safely dispensed • using a syringe or double- • tipped needle. • Do not store near any • flammable chemicals. • Polymerizing Compounds: • Must be kept in low temperatures.

  5. Corrosive Materials: • Always pour more concentrated solution into less concentrated solution while stirring to prevent violent reactions. • If it emits harmful vapors, it must be used in a fume hood. • Never heat or handle chemical in fragile containers. • Always wear a laboratory coat, gloves, and safety glasses.

  6. Corrosive Materials (storage): • Store below eye level in corrosive resistant trays. • Keep away from incompatible substances (e.g. store acids and bases separately)

  7. NEVER use unknown chemicals or chemicals that are not clearly identified!
