3. Chemical Inventory and Labeling Lance Jones, Dan Harlan, EH&S

5. Chemical Inventory Specifics • Used as the basis of several reports • Homeland security, CRTK (SFM), local FD • On-line with ONID access • Enter all chemicals • Size and # of containers • Drop-down search boxes • Can share list within department

6. Labels

7. NO!

8. Chemical Container Labels • All containers need labels • Contents • Plain English chemical name • Hazard information • HMIS or NFPA

9. Hazard Information • HMIS format • NFPA format

10. Pre-Printed Labels • Reports available online • Standard formats (Avery) • Label Printer (Zebra) • Barcode = Inventory #

11. Waste Labels

12. Waste Storage • Lids secured • Secondary containment

13. Laboratory Safety Assessments Overview Dan Kermoyan, EH&S

14. Laboratory Safety Assessments Drivers Benefits Regulatory visits increasing Recent events Granting Agencies Accreditation Our observations Faculty needs help Compliance and lower fines Reduce injuries and damages Increase Research $$ Favorable exposure Decrease chemical and disposal costs EH&S as a resource

15. How do we get there……..?Lab Categories (LCAT) • Laboratory categories grouped by materials used/stored. • 1,618 spaces. • Assigned an assessment frequency.

16. Lab Categories 1 and 2 LCAT 1, (36 month assessment) • Teaching labs with small quantities (<5 gallons, 5 lbs., or 50 ft3) of hazardous substances • Autoclave rooms • Dishwashing rooms • Freezer rooms • Equipment rooms LCAT 2, (24 month assessment) • Teaching labs with large quantities (>5 gallons, 5 lbs., or 50 ft3) of hazardous substances • Research labs with small quantities (<5 gallons, 5 lbs.) of solvents, acids/bases, chemicals • BSL-1, ABSL-1 labs • Tissue culture • Vivariums • Nonhazardous compressed gas storage <500 ft3 • Laser class 3R or lower • Machine shops, Fabrication labs • Electronic labs, Analytical labs • UV germicidal lamps, trans- illuminators, cross linkers, hand-held units • Cryogenics

17. Lab Categories 3 and 4 LCAT 3, (18 month assessment) • Research labs with large quantities (>5 gallons, 5 lbs.) of solvents, acids/bases, chemicals • OSHA regulated carcinogens • BSL-2, ABSL-2 labs, rDNA, or Blood borne pathogens, human source tissues or cell lines • Small quantity of toxic gas or flammable gas (<lecture size bottle) • Nonhazardous compressed gas storage >500 ft3 • Anesthetic gases • Laser class 3B or 4 • MRI/NMR suites, Magnetic fields • Controlled substances LCAT 4, (12 month assessment) • BSL-3, ABSL-3 labs • Select agent labs • Toxins of biological origin • Chemical of Interest (COI) labs • Nano-materials • Toxic, Flammable, or Pyrophoric gases • Toxic Chemicals • RUA lab • X-Ray lab • Sealed sources, LSC

18. Lab Safety Assessment Process • 1-month advanced notice to Department chairs and safety coordinators. • Use Lab Safety Assessment checklist • Common areas to focus on before EHS visit: • Chemical inventory • Label and secure chemicals • Training • Lab Chemical Hygiene Plan

19. Lab Safety Assessment Process • Lab Visit appointment with PI or Supervisor. • Nature of the Assessment? • Resource oriented. • 2-way dialogue; feedback useful. • Lab Assessment Checklist: http://oregonstate.edu/ehs/ • Will receive Assessment report via email.

21. Lab Assessment: Actions Needed Follow-up Times • Routine Items – Routine lab safety items. • 7 or 30 days • No revisit by EH&S • Special Conditions – Special hazard exists. • Less than 7 days • Revisit by EH&S • Immediate Correction Needed – Imminent hazard exists. • Immediate correction • Revisit by EH&S

22. Actions Needed: Special Condition

23. Actions Needed: Immediate Correction

24. Lab Safety Assessment Process Completion • PI or Supervisor responds via email on items completed. • EHS updates the LCAT category and next visit date. • Laboratory is ready for compliance sign-off. • Similar approach to Biosafety, Shop, Radiation, Other. • Alternative system for PI or supervisor to respond…..
