  12. Lab Safety • PPE • Working with Flammable Substances • Chemical Spills • Cuts and Burns • Container Labeling • Blood borne Pathogens

  13. Lab Safety Cont. • MSDS • Incident Report • Hepatitis B Vaccine • Post Exposure Evaluation and Follow Up

  14. Hazardous Chemicals • Acetone • Acetic Acid • Sulfuric Acid • Calcium Carbonate • Toluene • Thymol • Tannic Acid • Anhydrous Ammonia

  15. Exposure Time Limitations • Recommended exposure limits are developed and periodically revised by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). These recommendations are then published and transmitted to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA for use in promulgating legal standards. • In Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry publishes permissible exposure limits for contaminants. • http://www.dli.mn.gov/OSHA/PDF/pels.pdf

  16. Training • Training will be completed on the first and third Monday of the month • Annually • Once all common workplace hazards have been discussed we will go down to only one meeting a month • Everyone will be given a book containing the common hazards, this will need to be brought every meeting and signed by your supervisor upon completion of the meeting

  17. Calendar of Training * * 9:00 AM Monday January 4th - Chemical Hazards 9:00 AM Monday January 18th- Electrical Hazards

  18. Missing A Meeting • Meetings are Mandatory! • Absences are excused only upon receiving documentation • First Unexcused Absence- Verbal Warning • Second Unexcused Absence- Written Warning • Third Unexcused Absence- Termination • Excused Absences are allowed to be made up with your supervisor

  20. Indoor Emergencies *Tornado *Severe Thunderstorm *Shooting

  21. Outdoor Emergencies *Fire *Gas Leak *Bomb Threat

  22. Measuring Safety • Reduction in lost time and injury frequency • Reduction in medical treatment injury frequency (beyond first aid care) • Reduction in sick days used • Lower workers compensation cost • Lower medical benefits payments (doctors visits, prescription drugs)

  23. Conclusion • By enacting 2 monthly meetings we hope to have our employees better understand workplace safety to reduce illness and injuries. • Common knowledge of the importance of safety plans, most common hazards, and lab safety is something we feel is critical in preventing injury. • In January of 2012, we will review the elements measured and we hope to see a decrease in illness and injury within the workplace.
