2. Outline • Important Reminders • New Safety Information • Safety Jeopardy game

3. Why think about safety? LABORATORY ACCIDENT University of Washington, near Seattle Aug 28, 2010 • shelf holding chemicals in a safety cabinet collapsed, causing the substances to mix together in an unsafe manner. • one person did have contact with the spilled chemicals, but the individual was able to take an emergency shower, • there was no resulting injury. • the building was re-opened within 2 hrs. from: http://dailyuw.com/news/2010/dec/07/genome-sciences-building-evacuated-after-chemical/

4. MacKay Fire, 8-18-10 • Reminders: • Perform annual online fire safety training and fire extinguisher training, • Inspect all power cords for fraying or damage, • Plug heavy duty equipment right into power outlet. • Keep lab area uncluttered. • Helpful advice: • Keep lab notebooks in water tight containers, • Have your gas shut off if you are not using it.

5. Emergency Information Reminder • Update your emergency information Emergency Contact: information for those person(s) the university should contact in case you are injured, become ill, or are missing. ISU Alert: information so that you can be notified in the event of a campus emergency.

8. Important Safety Reminder Treatment for a lab- or work-related injury Even if you think the injury is too minor to do so, you must report the injury to your supervisor who will assist you in seeking medical treatment. When seeking treatment remember to bring MSDS &/or other safety info with you. Please notify medical staff that the treatment is due to a workplace injury or illness, so that they can initiate the proper paper work.

9. Reminder • For malfunction of lab equipment, immediately call the contact person for that room as posted on the yellow emergency contact card on the outside of the lab door. Building _______________ Room ________ Date _________ IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, CALL: phone Major Professor/Principal Investigator Name:________________________________ _________ (office) ____________________ (home) ____________________ (cell) 1st alternate Name:_______________________________ _________ (office) ____________________ (home) ____________________ (cell) 2nd alternate Name:_______________________________ _________ (office) ____________________ (home) ____________________ (cell) SPECIAL HAZARDS: ______________________________________ ______________________________________________________

11. New Safety Information Nitric Acid Security • New chemical security requirements from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. • Purchasers/users of nitric acid must: • Complete short online training (users), • Purchasers only: submit a form (with account number, $50 one-time fee) to EH&S that will authorize you to purchase nitric acid from ChemStores, • Ensure nitric acid is secure and labeled appropriately. Contact Ryan Wyllie, (4-4092, rwyllie@iastate.edu) for more information.

12. New Safety Information EPA Inspection - May 2011 • Potential violations: • Open containers • Unlabeled containers • Same violations in 2000 and 2006. • Potential fines are unknown. • Please ensure you keep the waste containers in your lab closed and labeled. http://www.gma-safe.org/fpa/about_auditor.htm

13. New Safety Information Laboratory Safety Survey Program Audit • Primary findings: • The current chemical inventory management system needs to be evaluated, other products considered, and an analysis completed and presented to university administration for consideration of potential funding. • The current incident reporting system must be evaluated. • Laboratory deficiencies identified during EH&S-performed laboratory surveys require more rigorous follow-up and documentation. • Changes to the laboratory safety program need to be better communicated to the research community. http://ehs.ucr.edu/laboratory/laboratory_safety_audits.html

14. New Safety Information Laboratory Safety Survey Program Audit • Upcoming renewed emphasis: • submission and maintenance of chemical inventories from all laboratories, • reporting of accidents and injuries occurring in laboratories will be tied together with the appropriate level of investigation and prevention strategies, • follow-up and correction of identified laboratory deficiencies are documented, • laboratories will be require to participate more actively in the compliance process.

15. New Safety Information Procedural Changes of animal studies for AAALAC accreditation of the Colleges of Human Sciences and Veterinary Medicine: All diets and ingredients in the HNSB basement storage room are properly labeled with received date, PI name and expiration date.

16. New Safety Information Procedural Changes for AAALAC accreditation of the Colleges of Human Sciences and Veterinary Medicine: • LAR requests that lab coats be worn over street clothes in HNSB animal rooms. • Soiled attire should be disposed of, laundered, or decontaminated by the institution as appropriate. • To facilitate this request, LAR is providing disposable Lab Coats to be used in animal and procedural rooms.

17. New Safety Information Procedural Changes for AAALAC accreditation of the Colleges of Human Sciences and Veterinary Medicine: • Eating and Drinking are prohibited in HNSB animal and procedure rooms. • If you must bring in food or drink, please leave these items in the locker rooms or office. • Food, food containers, backpacks, and non essential items are not to be left in the hallway.
