CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY MANUAL FOR LABORATORIES This is the Chemical Hygiene Plan specific to the following areas: Laboratory name or room number(s): Thompson Lab Building: Wetherill building rooms 415, 417, 423A Supervisor: Professor David H. Thompson Department: Chemistry Telephone numbers 911 for Emergency and urgent consultation 48221 Police business line 46919 Fire Dept business line 46371 Radiological and Environmental Management Revisied on: Feburary 2014 All laboratory chemical use areas must maintain a work-area specific Chemical Hygiene Plan which conforms to the requirements of the OSHA Laboraotry Standard 29 CFR 19190.1450. Purdue University laboratories may use this document as a starting point for creating their work area specific CHP. Minimally this cover page is to be edited for work area specificity (non-West Lafayette laboratories are to place their own emergency, fire, and police telephone numbers in the space above) AND appendix K must be completed. This instruction and information box should remain. This model CHP is version 2010A; updates are to be found at www.purdue.edu/rem This page intentionally blank. PURDUE CHEMICAL HYGIENE PLAN AWARENESS CERTIFICATION Prof David H. Thompson, Wetherill building rooms 415, 417,423A The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that laboratory employees be made aware of the Chemical Hygiene Plan at their place of employment (29 CFR 1910.1450). The Purdue University Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Materials Safety Manual serves as the written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) for laboratories using chemicals at Purdue University. The CHP is a regular, continuing effort, not a standby or short term activity. Departments, divisions, sections, or other work units engaged in laboratory work whose hazards are not sufficiently covered in this written manual must customize it by adding their own sections as appropriate (e.g. standard operating procedures, emergency procedures, identifying activities requiring prior approval). See Appendix K. After reading the "Purdue Chemical Hygiene Plan and Hazardous Material Safety Manual," complete and return a copy of this form to your supervisor or to your department’s Safety Committee Chair. By signing below you acknowledge that you are aware of the Chemical Hygiene Plan and the policies and procedures applicable to the OSHA standard (29 CFR 1910.1450). Your supervisor will provide additional information and training as appropriate. Please type or print legibly. Name: Work Phone: Student or staff ID number: Email address: Department: Job Classification (if employee): Building: Room: Supervisor, instructor, or P. I. for your work area: Signature: Date: Completed CHP Awareness Certifications are to be filed in a central administrative location within the staff member’s department. These and all safety training records should be organized in a way that allows original records to be retrieved quickly and efficiently on request by an OSHA inspector or a REM staff member, and to be retrieved for a single staff member or for an entire work group (identified by supervisor).

The final standard applies to all laboratories that use hazardous chemicals in accordance with the definitions of laboratory use and laboratory scale provided in the standard. Generally, where this standard applies it supersedes the provisions of all other standards in 29 CFR, part 1910, subpart Z, except in specific instances identified by this standard. For laboratories covered by this standard, the obligation to maintain employee exposures at or below the permissible exposure limits (PELs) specified in 29 CFR, part 1910, subpart Z is retained. However, the manner in which this obligation is achieved will be determined by each employer through the formulation and implementation of a Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP). The CHP must include the necessary work practices, procedures and policies to ensure that employees are protected from all potentially hazardous chemicals used or stored in their work area. Hazardous chemicals as defined by the final standard include not only chemicals regulated in 29 CFR part 1910, subpart Z, but also any chemical meeting the definition of hazardous chemical with respect to health hazards as defined in OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200(c). Among other requirements, the final standard provides for employee training and information, medical consultation and examination, hazard identification, respirator use and record keeping. To the extent possible, the standard allows a large measure of flexibility in compliance methods. Effective Date: May 1, 1990. Compliance Date: Employers shall have completed an appropriate Chemical Hygiene Plan and commenced carrying out its provisions by January 31, 1991. EMPLOYEE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES Employees have the right to be informed about the known physical and health hazards of the chemical substances in their work areas and to be properly trained to work safely with these substances. Employees have the right to file a complaint with IOSHA if they feel they are being exposed to unsafe or unhealthy work conditions. Employees cannot be discharged, suspended, or otherwise discriminated against by their employer because of filing a complaint, or exercising their rights under the law. Employees have the responsibility to attend training seminars on the Laboratory Standard and Chemical Hygiene Plan and to stay informed about the chemicals used in their work areas. They have the responsibility to use safe work practices and protective equipment required for safe performance of their job. Finally they have the responsibility to inform their supervisors of accidents and conditions or work practices they believe to be a hazard to their health or to the health of others. HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS The Laboratory Standard defines a hazardous chemical as any element, chemical compound, or mixture of elements and/or compounds which is a physical or health hazard. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 2 A chemical is a physical hazard if there is scientifically valid evidence that it is a flammable, a combustible liquid, a compressed gas, an explosive, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer, pyrophoric, unstable material (reactive), or water-reactive. A chemical is a health hazard if there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees. Included are:       carcinogens reproductive toxins sensitizers neurotoxins (nerve) hepatotoxins (liver) agents that act on the hematopoietic system (blood)       irritants corrosives radioactive material biohazards nephrotoxins (kidney) agents that damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes See Appendix I, Glossary, for definitions of these terms. In most cases, the label will indicate if the chemical is hazardous. Look for key words like caution, hazardous, toxic, dangerous, corrosive, irritant, carcinogen, etc. Old containers of hazardous chemicals (before 1985) may not contain hazard warnings. If you are not sure a chemical you are using is hazardous, review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or contact your supervisor, instructor, or the Department of Radiological and Environmental Management (REM). Designated areas must be established and posted for work with certain chemicals and mixtures (Appendix G), which include select carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and/or substances which have a high degree of acute toxicity. A designated area may be the entire laboratory, an area of a laboratory or a device such as a laboratory hood. Designated area stickers are available from REM. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDSs) A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document containing chemical hazard and safe handling information prepared in accordance with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. A sample MSDS is included at the end of Part I. Chemical manufacturers and distributors must provide a MSDS the first time a hazardous chemical/product is shipped to a facility. (Many manufacturers and distributors consider Purdue University the facility.) Only MSDSs received must be retained and made available to laboratory workers. However, you can request an MSDS for any laboratory chemical from the manufacturer or distributor. The Department of Radiological and Environmental Management (REM), Civil Engineering Building, Room B173, extension 49-46371, is a central repository for MSDSs. If you want to review an MSDS, contact your supervisor, instructor, or REM. If you need an MSDS for your work area file, contact the chemical supplier or REM. CHEMICAL INVENTORIES The OSHA Laboratory Standard does not require chemical inventories; however, it is prudent to adopt this practice. An annual inventory can reduce the number of unknowns and the tendency to stockpile chemicals. The Department of Radiological and Environmental Management may require that a chemical inventory be prepared for a room, work unit, or department.

The CHP is a regular, continuing effort, not a standby or short term activity. Departments, divisions, sections, or other work units engaged in laboratory work whose hazards are not sufficiently covered in this written manual must customize it by adding their own sections as appropriate (e.g. standard operating procedures, emergency procedures, identifying activities requiring prior approval). See Appendix K. SCOPE AND APPLICATION The CHP applies to all personnel at Purdue University's West Lafayette Campus and Regional Campuses, University research farms and agricultural center, and related facilities and operations engaged in the laboratory use of hazardous chemicals. The CHP does not apply to: 1. Uses of hazardous chemicals which do not meet the definition of laboratory use. 2. Laboratory uses of hazardous chemicals which provide no potential for employee exposure. Examples of such conditions might include: a. Procedures using chemically-impregnated test media such as Dip-and-Read tests where a reagent strip is dipped into the specimen to be tested and the results are interpreted by comparing the color reaction to a color chart supplied by the manufacturer of the test strip, and b. Commercially prepared kits such as those used in performing pregnancy tests in which all of the reagents needed to conduct the test are contained in the kit. Laboratory uses of chemicals not covered by the CHP are subject to the full provisions of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard and the Purdue University Right-to-Know Program. Contact the Department of Radiological and Environmental Management (REM) for additional information. RESPONSIBILITY The Purdue University Chemical Management Committee and the Chemical Hygiene Officer will develop the provisions of the CHP. The Head of the Department of Radiological and Environmental Management (REM) and his or her designee(s) will serve as Chemical Hygiene Officers. The Chemical Management Committee and REM can establish health and safety work rules for work areas or departments. The Chemical Management Committee and Chemical Hygiene Officer may assign areas of responsibility to departments, department safety and health committees, supervisors, and other individuals, as necessary, to implement and carry out the provisions of the CHP. Department heads are responsible for  implementing and maintaining the CHP in their respective work areas,  and for providing means and motivations to allow all supervisors and employees to comply with occupational safety regulations. For more efficient implementation of the CHP, department heads should select one or more individuals to serve as coordinators. Department safety and health committees can also assume these responsibilities. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 4 Laboratory supervisors and principal investigators are responsible for chemical hygiene in the laboratory. They must ensure that  workers know and follow the chemical hygiene rules.  any necessary Hazard Assessments have been conducted and a written Hazard Assessment certification has been posted in each work area (see Appendix L).  that PPE and other protective equipment is available and in working order.  that appropriate information and training have been provided, including all PPE training.  facilities and training are at all times appropriate and adequate.  requests for information or action, from their safety committee or REM, are satisfied promptly. The responsibilities of laboratory supervisors and principal investigators also include  providing regular, formal chemical hygiene inspections of their facilities and equipment;  knowing the current legal and University requirements concerning regulated substances;  customizing their work area Chemical Hygiene Plan in any way necessary to provide for Standard Operating Procedures, Emergency Procedures, and circumstances and/or procedures and/or operations requiring prior approval of the supervisor, if the hazards of their employees' laboratory work are not sufficiently addressed by the non-customized CHP (see Appendix K). In customizing the work area Chemical Hygiene Plan, it is only permissible for the supervisor to add and clarify the requirements, standard operating procedures, restrictions and necessary protocols, not to omit or relax any which are given in the manual. Laboratory workers are responsible for planning and conducting each operation in accordance with University chemical hygiene procedures and for developing good personal chemical hygiene habits. While students are not covered under the provisions of the OSHA Laboratory Standard, students should be made aware of chemical health and safety hazards in classroom situations, and should be provided with information and equipment to protect themselves from those hazards. Departments should provide student training at the beginning of each course in which hazardous chemicals are used. Specific safety instructions should be provided at the beginning of each class period. EXPOSURE LIMITS For laboratory uses of hazardous substances, departments must ensure that laboratory employees' exposures to such substances do not exceed either the permissible exposure limits (PELs) specified in 29 CFR 1910, subpart Z, which are set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), whichever is lower. EMPLOYEE INFORMATION AND TRAINING Departments must provide employees with information and training to ensure that they are apprised of the hazards of chemicals present in their work area and the steps they should take to protect themselves from these hazards. Training may take the form of individual instruction, group seminars, audio-visual presentations, handout material, or any combination of the above. However, the training must include the specific hazards associated with the chemicals in the work area when generic training is insufficient (e.g., extremely toxic materials, carcinogens, reproductive hazards) to address specific hazards. A variety of training aids are available from REM. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 5 Such information must be provided at the time of an employee's initial assignment to a work area where hazardous chemicals are present and prior to assignment involving new exposure situations. Employees should receive periodic refresher information and training. Note: Although the length of training is not specified in the OSHA regulations, effective information and training generally will take at least 2 hours for most laboratory scale operations. The frequency of periodic refresher information and training will vary with the hazard; however, the length of time between training sessions should not exceed five years. Information. Information provided by departments to employees must include: 1. The contents of the OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.1450 and its appendices which shall be available to employees (available from REM); 2. The location and availability of the Purdue University Chemical Hygiene Plan (available from REM); 3. The permissible exposure limits for OSHA regulated substances or published exposure limits for other hazardous chemicals where there is no applicable OSHA standard (available from REM); 4. Signs and symptoms associated with exposures to hazardous chemicals used in the laboratory (available on container labels and Material Safety Data Sheets); 5. The location and availability of known reference material on the hazards, safe handling, storage and disposal of hazardous chemicals found in the laboratory (see other applicable sections of this document; also available from REM) including, but not limited to, Material Safety Data Sheets received from the supplier. Training. Training provided by departments to employees must include: 1. Methods and observations that may be used to detect the presence or release of a hazardous chemical (such as monitoring conducted by the University, continuous monitoring devices, visual appearance or odor of hazardous chemicals when being released, etc.); 2. The physical and health hazards of chemicals in the work area; 3. The measures employees can take to protect themselves from these hazards, including specific procedures the University or department has implemented to protect employees from exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as appropriate work practices, emergency procedures, and personal protective equipment to be used; 4. The applicable details of the Purdue University Chemical Hygiene Plan. Documentation. Awareness of the University CHP should be documented using the form on page (i) of this document. Appendix M contains a generic form which may be used to document many different types of safety training. All CHP training records belonging to a department or other administrative unit should be held in a central administrative location (e.g., by Safety Committee Chair or in Department Head or Business Office), organized in any convenient manner provided the training record(s) for an individual, a research group, or department can be made immediately available during an IOSHA inspection. Basic Lab Safety Awareness Training from REM. REM offers an introductory Basic Lab Safety Awareness Training which is appropriate for laboratory chemical users of all experience levels. Regularly scheduled sessions are offered, and group meetings can be arranged at other The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 6 times. The overall training consists of (1) self-paced web based training exercises which address the basics of lab safety, chemical labeling, chemical handling, personal protective equipment, safety information resources, laboratory housekeeping, safety equipment, waste management and disposal, and regulatory compliance, and (2) a 110-minute meeting which goes into detail on the certain topics as are relevant, such as hazards assessments, PPE, compressed gas cylinder safety, and use, care, testing, and maintenance of safety equipment. Departments are encouraged satisfy part of their training and information obligations by requiring their staff to sign up for this training. Contact the REM Industrial Hygiene section or use the web page sign-up form. The REM website can be accessed from http://www.purdue.edu/rem/. MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS Note: Acute medical care will normally be provided by the Purdue University Student Health Center in accordance with existing University policies and procedures. Requests for special examinations and consultations should be arranged through REM. Departments must provide all employees who work with hazardous chemicals an opportunity to receive medical attention, including any follow-up examinations which the examining physician determines to be necessary, under the following circumstances: 1. Whenever an employee develops signs or symptoms associated with a hazardous chemical to which the employee may have been exposed in the laboratory, the employee must be provided an opportunity to receive an appropriate examination. 2. Where exposure monitoring reveals an exposure level routinely above the action level (or in the absence of an action level, the PEL) for an OSHA regulated substance for which there are exposure monitoring and medical surveillance requirements, medical surveillance shall be established for the affected employee as prescribed by the particular standard. 3. Whenever an event takes place in the work area such as a spill, leak, explosion or other occurrence resulting in the likelihood of a hazardous exposure, the affected employee shall be provided an opportunity for a medical consultation. Such consultations shall be for the purpose of determining the need for a medical examination. All medical examinations and consultations must be performed by or under the direct supervision of a licensed physician and must be provided without cost to the employee, without loss of pay and at a reasonable time and place. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION With respect to labels and Material Safety Data Sheets: 1. Departments must ensure that labels on incoming containers of hazardous chemicals are not removed or defaced. 2. Departments must ensure that laboratory containers of chemicals are labeled where required. Laboratory containers, including bottles, flasks, sample vials, etc., must be marked, labeled, or coded in all cases. (If codes or markings other than chemical names are used, a code key or legend must be available in the workplace where it may be found quickly and easily by emergency responders or other interested parties.) Labels should bear a date of receipt and should identify the owner of the material. 3. Departments must maintain any Material Safety Data Sheets that are received with incoming shipments of hazardous chemicals, and ensure that they are readily accessible to laboratory employees. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 7 Note: REM has an extensive inventory of Material Safety Data Sheets. Material Safety Data Sheets are also available from the supplier. Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals in use should be maintained in the laboratory. CHEMICALS DEVELOPED IN THE LABORATORY The following requirements apply to chemical substances developed in the laboratory: 1. If the composition of the chemical substance which is produced exclusively for the laboratory's use is known, the principal investigator must determine if it is a hazardous chemical (e.g., by literature search). If the chemical is determined to be hazardous, the principal investigator must provide appropriate training to protect employees. 2. If the chemical produced is a by-product whose composition is not known, the principal investigator must assume that the substance is hazardous and must comply with the requirements of the CHP. 3. If the chemical substance is produced for another user outside of the laboratory, the principal investigator must comply with the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) including the requirements for preparation of Material Safety Data Sheets and labeling. Note: Item 1 does not require the principal investigator to conduct toxicological testing. However, if a Material Safety Data Sheet or hazard information is available for the chemical, the information must be made available to employees. USE OF RESPIRATORS Where the use of respirators is necessary to maintain exposure below permissible exposure limits (PELs) or the Threshold Value Limits (TLVs), whichever is lower, the department must provide, at no cost to the employee, the proper respiratory protective equipment. Respirators must be selected and used in accordance with the requirements of the Purdue University Respiratory Protection Program (contact REM for additional information). STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES The Chemical Management Committee and the Chemical Hygiene Officer will develop generic standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals. Departments, department safety and health committees, and supervisors will develop written standard operating procedures for work area specific operations. Standard operating procedures must be provided to affected employees. For work involving extremely toxic chemicals, select carcinogens, and reproductive toxins, standard operating procedures must include the following provisions where appropriate: 1. 2. 3. 4. Establishment of a designated area; Use of containment devices such as fume hoods or glove boxes; Procedures for safe removal of contaminated waste; and Decontamination procedures. CONTROL MEASURES Whenever employee exposures exceed the action level (or in the absence of an action level, the lower of the PEL or TLV), the department must implement control measures to reduce The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 8 employee exposure to hazardous chemicals including engineering controls, the use of personal protective equipment and hygiene practices. Exposures to extremely toxic materials, select carcinogens, and reproductive toxins must be maintained as low as reasonably achievable. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Users of hazardous chemicals are responsible for determining that fume hoods and other protective equipment are adjusted and functioning properly prior to initiating an activity requiring their use. All fume hood installations include a continuous monitoring device to allow users to monitor hood performance. Physical Facilities will install a continuous monitoring device on existing fume hoods if needed. REM will survey chemical fume hoods annually and arrange for repairs when necessary. Call REM at the number posted on your hood if you have questions or wish to report a problem. SPECIAL HAZARDS The Laboratory Supervisor will define which if any activities, operations, or procedures constitute circumstances under which prior approval must be obtained by employees before implementation. Note: OSHA requires each employer to identify those activities which the employer believes to be of a sufficiently hazardous nature to warrant prior "employer approval" before implementation. The Chemical Hygiene Plan identifies activities which involve extremely toxic chemicals, select carcinogens and reproductive hazards, and those activities with a high potential for personal injury and property damage. Supervisors will need to determine if any other existing activities are subject to the requirements of this section. Except for activities identified by the Chemical Management Committee as requiring Committee approval, "employer approval" will occur at the local level (e.g., Supervisor, Department Head, Department Safety and Health Committee). The Chemical Hygiene Officer is available for assistance. AVAILABILITY The Chemical Hygiene Plan must be readily available to employees and employee representatives. Note: The Chemical Hygiene Plan is available as pdf or Microsoft Word document:  http://www.purdue.edu/rem/home/booklets/CHP2010.pdf  http://www.purdue.edu/rem/home/booklets/CHP2010.docx ANNUAL REVIEW REM is responsible for preparing a written annual review of the Chemical Hygiene Plan. The review process will utilize such resources as results of internal and external audits, accident reports, notices of violation, customer satisfaction surveys, and other information and tracking reports which may become available. The focus of the annual review is to evaluate program effectiveness and to identify strengths and weaknesses which may be updated to improve the program. The written annual review will be made available to the Chemical Management Committee for inclusion in the annual report of that Committee.

Consider the physical state (gas, liquid, or solid) of the material(s). Consider the process in which you are using the chemical(s), the facilities you have for storage of the materials, and the facilities and equipment you may need to handle an emergency. Know the procedures necessary for safe disposal of the chemicals. Questions you should consider: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Is the material flammable, explosive, corrosive, or reactive? Is the material toxic, and if so, how can I be exposed to the material (inhalation, skin or eye contact, accidental ingestion, accidental puncture)? What kind of ventilation do I need to protect myself? What kind of personal protective equipment (i.e. gloves, respirator, goggles) do I need to protect myself? Will the process generate other toxic compounds, or could it result in a fire, explosion, etc.? Are my storage facilities appropriate for the type of materials I will be using? Can I properly segregate incompatible materials? What possible accidents can occur and what steps can I take to minimize the likelihood and impact of an accident? What are the proper procedures for disposal of the chemical(s)? Once you evaluate the potential hazards associated with the chemical(s) and the process, you can design your process and work procedures to minimize or eliminate the hazards. The following sections provide work procedures and engineering controls which can be used to minimize or eliminate hazards in the laboratory. Additional information on chemical hazards and health hazard control measures can be found in the reference list in Appendix O. If you have any questions about any information in these sections, please contact REM at 49-46371. GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES Know the hazards associated with the materials you are using. Carefully read the label before using a chemical. Review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any special handling information. In some cases it may be necessary to do additional research. Information provided in this booklet and references listed in Appendix O can help. Contact REM (49-46371) for assistance with the evaluation of hazards associated with a specific material. Be prepared for hazardous material emergencies and know what action to take in the event of an emergency. Be certain that necessary supplies and equipment are available for handling small spills of hazardous materials. Know the location of safety equipment: emergency shower, eye wash, fire extinguisher, fire alarm pull station. Do not work alone in the laboratory if you are working with hazardous materials. Limit access to areas where chemicals are used or stored by posting signs and/or locking doors when areas are unattended. Do not permit children in the laboratory. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 15 Purchase the minimum amount of hazardous materials necessary to accomplish your work and dispense only the minimum amount necessary for immediate use. Use hazardous chemicals only as directed and for their intended purpose. Never smell or taste a hazardous chemical. Vent apparatus which may discharge toxic chemicals (vacuum pumps, distillation columns, etc.) into local exhaust devices. Inspect gloves and all other personal protective equipment before use. On equipment such as hoods and biosafety cabinets, be familiar with the certification date or "to be tested again" date given on the test sticker. Perchloric acid must be used only in specially-designed perchloric acid fume hoods that have built-in wash down systems to remove shock-sensitive deposits. Before purchasing this acid, laboratory supervisors must arrange for use of an approved perchloric acid hood. Do not allow release of toxic substances in cold rooms and warm rooms, since these have contained recirculated atmospheres. Do not store cryogens or dry ice in non-ventilated rooms such as cold rooms. Inspect equipment or apparatus for damage before adding a hazardous chemical or beginning a hazardous procedure. Do not use damaged equipment. Glass vacuum lines, pressure lines and Dewar flasks should be taped or caged. Ensure that ventilation is adequate for the materials used. Refer to the MSDS for information on ventilation requirements, or contact REM. See the "Engineering Controls" section of this booklet. Avoid direct contact with any chemical. Keep chemicals off hands, face and clothing, including shoes. Avoid practical jokes or other behavior which might confuse, startle or distract another worker. Confine long hair and loose clothing. Wear shoes at all times in the laboratory, but do not wear sandals or perforated shoes. Keep the work area clean and uncluttered with chemicals and equipment. Clean up the work area on completion of an operation or at the end of each work day. Use required personal protective equipment. See the "Personal Protective Equipment" section of this booklet. Remove laboratory coats immediately on significant contamination. Label all secondary containers with appropriate hazard information. Make sure that labels on primary and secondary containers do not become damaged. Replace them when necessary. Use good hygiene. Keep your hands and face clean. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling any chemical. Smoking, drinking, eating, and the application of cosmetics is forbidden in areas where hazardous chemicals are in use. Do not store food or drink for human consumption, or utensils or equipment for preparing food or drink, in the same cabinet, drawer, refrigerator or freezer with chemicals or equipment used with chemicals. Never use mouth suction to fill a pipette. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 16 Electrically ground and bond containers using approved methods before transferring or dispensing a flammable liquid from a large container. Promptly clean up spills, using appropriate protective apparel, equipment and procedures. See the "Emergency Response" section of the booklet. Ensure that adequate storage facilities and containers are provided for hazardous materials. See the "Chemical Storage" section of this booklet. Ensure that hazardous materials are properly segregated into compatible categories. See the "Chemical Storage" section of this booklet. For unattended operations, leave lights on, place an appropriate sign on the door, and provide for containment of toxic substances in the event of a utility service failure (e.g., loss of cooling water). Plans to conduct unattended operations should be reviewed with the supervisor, or principal investigator. For specific information regarding chemical handling, contact your supervisor, instructor, or REM. ENGINEERING CONTROLS Exposure to hazardous materials should be controlled to the greatest extent feasible by use of engineering controls. For assistance in determining engineering controls necessary for your work situation, contact REM. Engineering controls to reduce or eliminate exposures to hazardous chemicals include:  substitution of less hazardous equipment, chemical or process (e.g., safety cans for glass bottles)  isolation of the operator or the process (e.g., use of barriers when handling explosives, or completely enclosing process in glove box or other enclosure)  local and general exhaust ventilation (e.g., use of fume hoods) Ventilation Controls. To determine ventilation requirements, check the MSDS. Expressions on an MSDS such as those listed below indicate a need for ventilation:  use with adequate ventilation  use in a fume hood   avoid vapor inhalation provide local exhaust ventilation Ventilation recommendations must be adapted to the worksite and the specific process. For assistance in determining specific ventilation requirements for your work situation, contact REM. Proper Use of Ventilation Systems. As a rule of thumb, use a hood or other local ventilation device when working with any volatile substance. Once a ventilation system is installed in a work area, it must be used properly to be effective. The objective of a local exhaust ventilation system is to draw hazardous materials in the air away from the breathing zone of the employee. The system must be checked prior to each use to determine that it is operating. If the system is not working, it should be posted out of order and the Building Deputy should be contacted to have the system repaired. Do not work with hazardous materials if the required ventilation system is not working. Ventilation systems must be properly configured. Be sure you know how to properly use the system in your area for the work you are doing. For use of laboratory fume hoods, the following guidelines should be followed: The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 17 1. 2. 3. Fume hoods should be marked to indicate proper sash position for optimum hood performance. The hood sash should be set at this point for procedures which could generate toxic aerosols, gases or vapors. If it is not possible to do work with the sash height set at the point marked, or if there is no marking on the hood, contact REM. In general, the sash height should be set at a level where the operator is shielded to some degree from any explosions or violent reactions which could occur and where optimum air flow dynamics are achieved. Most fume hoods are not intended to be used with the sash fully open. Fume hoods should be equipped with a manometer or other continuous reading monitoring device to indicate adequacy of flow. Learn how to read and interpret this gauge, and check it daily. If the gauge indicates a reduced flow in the hood, post the X out of order and contact the Building Deputy to have the hood repaired. Only apparatus and chemicals essential to the specific procedure or process should be placed in the hood. Extraneous materials from previous experiments or procedures should be removed and stored in a safe location outside the hood. Hoods used for experimental work should not be used for chemical or material storage. Hoods used for chemical storage should be dedicated to chemical storage. No experimental work should be conducted in these hoods. If there are any questions concerning the adequacy of a fume hood or the procedures for safe use of a fume hood, contact REM. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Administrative controls are procedural measures which can be taken to reduce or eliminate hazards associated with the use of hazardous materials. Administrative controls include the following:  Careful planning of experiments and procedures with safety in mind. Planning includes the development of written work procedures for safe performance of the work.  Restricting access to areas in which hazardous materials are used.  Using signs or placards to identify hazardous areas (designated areas).  Use of labels on hazardous materials.  Substitution of less toxic materials for toxic materials.  Good housekeeping.  Good hygiene (e.g., washing hands and other areas of possible chemical contact).  Prohibiting the storage and preparation of food in areas where chemicals are used or stored.  Prohibiting eating, drinking, and smoking where chemicals are used or stored, and providing break areas for this purpose.  No mouth pipetting.  Adding acid (or caustic) to water, never water to acid (or caustic).  Ensuring that employees are provided adequate training for safe work with hazardous materials. Restricted access areas. Facilities placarded with any of the following or similar warning signs are to be regarded as restricted access areas:  CAUTION - BIOHAZARD  CAUTION - CARCINOGENS, REPRODUCTIVE TOXINS, OR OTHER EXTREMELY TOXIC CHEMICALS  CAUTION - RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL  CAUTION - RADIATION AREA  CAUTION - X-RAY The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 18  CAUTION - LASER Such areas and are not to be entered except by authorized users of the facility and those having permission from authorized users. Children are never permitted in restricted access areas. (See below for considerations relating to Building Services and other support staff.) All areas which fit the definition of "laboratory use of hazardous chemicals" (see Glossary, Appendix I), regardless of whether they are or contain restricted access areas, must be posted, on the outside of the primary egress door(s), with: (1) the name of the faculty or administrative staff member having responsibility for the area and (2) emergency contact name(s) and telephone number(s) of responsible persons. A template (non-mandatory) which may be used for displaying this and other important safety information is available as Appendix N. Custodians are permitted to enter restricted areas to perform routine tasks; however, custodians should not touch containers of chemicals (including waste) or other research equipment or materials. Other support personnel, such as University Police and Safety and Security personnel, are permitted to enter restricted areas provided the work to be performed does not involve disturbing a use area within the facility, equipment, or materials. Examples include:  fume hoods  sinks  chemical or materials in lab  biological safety cabinets  placarded equipment  benches Support personnel should contact an authorized user of the facility or REM before performing work which may involve any of the above items. Immediately notify the University Police (See cover page) of any emergency or unusual conditions such as:  spills  contamination  leaks  injury  fires For additional information concerning restricted access areas, contact your supervisor, instructor or REM. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT General Considerations. Personal protective devices may be needed to supplement available engineering controls, but are never used as a substitute for engineering controls except as a temporary measure while such controls are being instituted or for short term jobs where the implementation of engineering controls is not feasible. The MSDS will provide some information on the personal protective equipment recommended for use with the chemical. The MSDS addresses "worst case" conditions; therefore, all the equipment described may not be necessary for a specific job. In addition, the MSDS may not provide sufficient information concerning a specific respirator or type of glove appropriate for the chemical. Hazards Assessments. The supervisor is responsible for determining which personal protective devices are required for each task performed by employees. This is accomplished by performing a hazards assessment, documenting it on a form such as is shown in Appendix L, and posting the completed hazards assessment certification in the The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 19 work area. There is no harm in being over protected, but the minimal requirements are to be spelled out by the hazards assessments. Departments must provide required personal protective equipment to employees, and supervisors must ensure that employees are trained in all necessary aspects of its proper use and care. This training must be documented. Failure to prescribe, provide, and properly use required personal protective equipment can result in personal injury and disciplinary action. Protection Against Inhalation Hazards. When ventilation is not adequate to provide protection against an inhalation hazard, respiratory protective equipment may be necessary. There is a variety of respiratory protective equipment available for use, but no one device will provide protection against all possible hazards. Respirator selection is based on the chemical and process hazard, and the protection factors required. Respirators are not to be used except in conjunction with a comprehensive respiratory protection program. Such a program includes a review of the process to ensure that proper equipment is selected for the job; training of all respiratory protective equipment users concerning the methods for proper use and care of such equipment; fitting of respirator users when required; and medical surveillance of respirator users when required. Types of respiratory protective equipment include:  particle-removing air-purifying respirators  gas and vapor-removing air-purifying respirators  atmosphere-supplying respirators If your work requires the use of a respirator or you suspect your work requires the use of a respirator, you should contact your supervisor. He/she will contact REM for an evaluation of the exposure and will schedule a medical physical examination to determine that you are physically fit to wear respiratory protection, and respirator fit-testing and training. Do not use respiratory protective equipment until you have received proper training. If you are currently using a respirator and you have not received training in its use and care, contact REM immediately. In some cases, respiratory protective equipment may be kept on-hand for an emergency. In this situation, all potential users must receive training in its use. In addition, the equipment must be inspected on a monthly basis and this inspection must be documented. If you have respiratory protective equipment on-hand for use in an emergency and you have not received training in its use and care, contact REM immediately. For more information on the Purdue University Respiratory Protection Program, contact REM. Protection of Skin and Body. Skin and body protection involves the use of protective clothing to protect various parts of the body. Eye and face injuries are prevented by the use of the following:  safety glasses with side shields for dust and flying object hazards  splash-proof goggles for chemical splash, spray and mist hazards  full-face and neck shields for head and neck protection from various hazards (must be used with safety glasses or goggles) Splash-proof goggles provide superior protection against dust, flying objects, and splash, spray and mist hazards. They should be the first choice for primary eye protection. Cover all unprotected skin surfaces. Do not wear open-toe shoes, sandals, shorts, etc. in a chemical laboratory. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 20 Even when there is minimal danger of skin contact with a hazardous substance, lab coats, coveralls, aprons, or protective suits should be used. General categories of contaminants include:  toxic dusts (e.g. asbestos)  lab chemicals  bacteriological agents  radioactive materials Garments contaminated with hazardous materials should not be taken home by staff for laundering. They should be laundered on-site or by a commercial laundry which has been apprised of potential hazards. For heavily contaminated work, special attention must be given to sealing all openings in the clothing. Tape can be utilized for this purpose. Caps should be worn to protect hair from contamination. Exposures to strong acids and acid gases, organic chemicals and strong oxidizing agents, carcinogens, and mutagens require the use of protective equipment that prevents skin contamination. Impervious protective equipment must be utilized. Examples include:  rubber gloves  rubberized suits  rubber boots  special protective equipment Protective garments are not equally effective for every hazardous chemical. Some chemicals will "break through" the garment in a very short time; therefore, garment selection is based on the specific chemical utilized. Examples are provided in Appendix H. CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Where splash or spill of hazardous chemicals on clothing or protective equipment occurs, the clothing/equipment should be removed and placed in a closed container which prevents dispersion of the hazardous chemical. The clothing/equipment should be disposed of, cleaned, or laundered as appropriate. Employees should not take contaminated clothing/equipment home for cleaning or laundering. Persons or companies cleaning or laundering contaminated clothing or equipment must be informed of the potentially harmful effects of exposure to the chemical contaminant and must be advised of the measures necessary to protect themselves. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 21 CHEMICAL STORAGE  Carefully read the label before storing a hazardous chemical. The MSDS will provide any special storage information and incompatibilities.  Ensure all containers are in good condition and properly labeled.  Do not store unsegregated chemicals in alphabetical order.  Do not store incompatible chemicals in close proximity to each other.  Whenever possible, separate chemicals into the following general hazard classes:  Flammable/combustible liquids  Flammable solids  Mineral acids  Organic acids (liquid)  Caustics  Oxidizers  Perchloric acid  Water-reactive  Air-reactive  Heat-reactive (require refrigeration)  Unstable (shock-sensitive, explosive)  Others  Gases:  toxic  flammable  oxidizers and inert                Once separated into hazard classes, chemicals may be stored alphabetically. Determine what equipment and space is needed for safe storage of chemicals. Except when material is being transferred, keep chemical containers tightly closed. Use approved storage cabinets, containers, and safety cans for flammable liquids. Refrigerators and freezers used for the storage of chemicals or other laboratory supplies must be posted “No flammables or combustibles” if they have internal sources of ignition. Do not store chemicals on refrigerator door shelves. Containers could fall when the door is opened or closed. Refrigerators for storage of food (for staff lunches, etc.) must be marked "FOOD ONLY, NO CHEMICALS OR LAB SUPPLIES." Do not store food, beverages, or food/beverage preparation supplies or equipment in an area (cabinet, shelf, refrigerator, drawer) that is used for storage of chemicals or equipment used in chemical work. Flammable liquids stored in glass containers shall not exceed 1 quart (liter). Exception: For conditions where chemical purity must be protected, flammable liquids stored in glass containers shall not exceed 1 gallon (4 liters). Corrosion resistant cabinets are recommended for storage of corrosives. Use spill trays under containers of reagents which can cause spill problems. Dispose of old chemicals promptly. Recycle excess chemicals no longer being used in your area. Contact REM for recycling information. Do not store liquids above eye level. For more information on chemical storage, contact your supervisor, instructor, or REM. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 22 MODEL WRITTEN STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING WITH HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS The Laboratory Standard defines a hazardous chemical as any element, chemical compound, or mixture of elements and/or compounds which is a physical hazard or a health hazard. The standard also requires the employer to develop the circumstances under which a particular laboratory operation, procedures or activity shall require prior approval from the employer before implementation. The Laboratory Supervisor will define which if any activities, operations, or procedures constitute circumstances under which prior approval must be obtained by employees before implementation. Except for activities identified by the Chemical Management Committee as requiring Committee approval, employer approval will occur at the local level (e.g., Supervisor, Department Head, Department Safety and Health Committee). The Chemical Hygiene Officer is available for assistance. The special precautions described in the following sections are to be used in conjunction with the information detailed in the "General Safety Guidelines." The special precautions sections and any other relevant instructions in this Chemical Hygiene Plan Manual may be used as part of the written standard operating procedures required by the OSHA Laboratory Standard. Project-specific and/or area-specific standard operating procedures must be written and attached at Appendix K by departments, work units, principal investigators, or project directors for hazardous chemical and hazardous operations work not covered by the following special precautions sections. PHYSICAL HAZARDS "Physical hazard" refers to a chemical for which there is evidence that it is a combustible liquid, a compressed gas, explosive, flammable, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer, pyrophoric, unstable (reactive) or water-reactive. Materials which present a physical hazard can be safely used if the specific hazard(s) are understood, and measures are taken to address the hazards. If appropriate precautions are not taken, a fire, an explosion, unwanted corrosion, personal injury, or property damage could occur. Certain chemicals cannot be safely mixed or stored with other chemicals because a severe reaction can take place or an extremely toxic reaction product can result. See Appendix B for a table of incompatible chemicals. An eyewash and safety shower must be readily accessible to areas where injurious materials are used and stored. In the event of skin or eye contact with an injurious material, immediately flush the area of contact with cool water for 15 minutes. Remove all affected clothing. Get medical help. Additional information concerning eyewash and safety shower requirements is available from REM. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 23 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Flammables and Combustibles: Flammable/combustible materials are materials which under standard conditions can generate sufficient vapor to cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Flammable materials can generate sufficient vapors at temperatures below 100oF (38oC); combustibles, at temperatures at or above 100oF (38oC) and below 140oF (60oC). The vapors of these materials are invisible, and a vapor trail to an ignition source away from the immediate area can result in a flashback. Flammables are more hazardous at elevated temperatures due to more rapid vaporization. In addition, flammable and combustible materials react with oxidizers which can result in a fire. Observe the following special precautions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Eliminate ignition sources such as open flames, smoking materials, hot surfaces, sparks from welding or cutting, operation of electrical equipment, and static electricity. Post conspicuous "No Smoking" signs in areas where flammable materials are used or stored. Minimize the quantity kept in the work area. Store in approved flammable liquid containers (safety cans) and storage cabinets, or in a special storage room designed for that purpose. Store away from oxidizers. Flammable liquids stored in glass containers shall not exceed 1 quart. Exception: For conditions where chemical purity must be protected, flammable liquids stored in glass containers shall not exceed 1 gallon. Refrigerators and freezers used for the storage of flammable or combustible liquids must have no internal sources of ignition (lab-safe). Ensure that there is proper bonding and grounding when it is required, such as when transferring or dispensing a flammable liquid from a large container or drum. Bonding and grounding must be checked regularly. Ensure that appropriate fire control systems or extinguishers are available.

Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 24 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Corrosives: Corrosives are materials which can react with the skin causing burns similar to thermal burns, and/or which can react with metal causing deterioration of the metal surface. Acids and bases are corrosives. Observe the following special precautions. 1. 2. 3. 4. Containers and equipment used for storage and processing of corrosive materials should be corrosion resistant. Eye protection and rubber gloves should always be used when handling corrosive materials. A face shield, rubber apron, and rubber boots may also be appropriate, depending on the work performed. When mixing concentrated acids (caustics) with water, add the acid (caustic) slowly to water. Never add water to acid (caustic). Acids and bases should be stored separately from each other. Organic acids should be stored with flammable materials, separate from oxidizers and oxidizing acids. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 25 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Oxidizers: Oxidizers are materials which readily yield oxygen or another oxidizing gas, or that readily react to promote or initiate combustion of flammable/combustible materials. Oxidation reactions are a frequent cause of chemical accidents. Observe these precautions to reduce risk when storing or handling oxidizers. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Know the reactivity of the materials involved in experiment or process. Make sure that there are no extraneous materials in the area which could become involved in a reaction. If the reaction can be violent or explosive, use shields or other methods for isolating the materials or the process. Use the minimum amounts necessary for the procedure. Do not keep excessive amounts of the material in the vicinity of the process. Store properly, away from organic materials, flammable materials and other reducing agents. Perchloric acid should be used only in specially-designed perchloric acid fume hoods equipped with wash-down systems to prevent deposition of shock-sensitive perchlorates in the ductwork and machinery. Before purchasing perchloric acid, the laboratory supervisor should arrange for use of an approved perchloric acid hood. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 26 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Water-Reactive Materials: Materials which react with water to produce a flammable or toxic gas, or other hazardous condition are said to be water-reactive. Fire and explosion are serious concerns when working with these materials. Special precautions for safe handling of water-reactive materials will depend on the specific material, and the conditions of use and storage. Contact REM for information on the safe use of a specific material. Examples of water-reactives include alkali and alkaline earth metals (e.g. Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg), metal hydrides, some metal and nonmetal chlorides (e.g. SiCl4, PCl3, AlCl3), calcium carbide, acid halides and acid anhydrides. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 27 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals". If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Pyrophoric Materials: Pyrophoric materials ignite spontaneously upon contact with air. They can also be water-reactive, where hit and hydrogen are produced.The flame may or may not be visible. Examples include Alkyllithium, Organosilanes, Grignard reagents(RMgX), and yellow phosphorous. Store and use all pyrophorics in an inert atmosphere. Observe the following special and crucial precaution when using them. 1. A “dry-run” of the experiment should be performed using low-hazard materials, such as water or solvent, as appropriate. 2. All glassware used for pyrophorics should be oven-dried and free of moisture. 3. Keep an appropriate fire extinguisher or extinguishing material close at hand. 4. Remove all other flammable material from the hood, as well as any clutter. 5. Secure the pyrophoric reagent bottle to a stand. 6. Sigma Aldrich recommends the use of a long needle, 1-2 foot, and a syringe that is twice the volume of liquid to be transferred. 7. Secure the syringe so if the plunger blows out of the body it, and the contents will not splash anyone. 8. Avoid the transfer of large volumes (>20 mL) using a syringe. Use small quantities (< 5mL or 10 mmol). The cannula technique is recommended. In case of emergency, follow these instructions: Use powdered lime, dry sand, celite, or clay based kitty litter to completely smother and cover any spill that occurs. 2. If a person is exposed, or on fire, the use of the stop, drop, and roll method, safety shower, a fire blanket, or fire extinguisher are the most effective means of controlling clothing on fire. If a safety shower is available, keep the person under the shower for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure all chemicals are washed away. 3. The recommended fire extinguisher is a standard dry powder (ABC) type. Class D extinguishers are recommended for combustible solid metal fires (such as sodium), but not for organolithium reagents. 4. Call 911 for emergency assistance 1. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 28 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Peroxidizables: Peroxidizables are substances or mixtures which react with oxygen to form peroxides. Some peroxides can explode with impact, heat, or friction such as that caused by removing a lid. Peroxides form inside the containers of some materials even if they have not been opened. Examples include ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, liquid paraffins (alkanes), and olefins (alkenes). See Appendix C for additional materials which may form peroxides. Precautions are given below. 1. 2. 3. Date all peroxidizables upon receipt and upon opening. Unless an inhibitor has been added by the manufacturer, materials should be properly disposed of after 18 months from date of receipt or 3 months from date of opening. Do not open any container having obvious crystal formation around the lid. Other special precautions are similar to those used for flammables. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 29 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Compressed Gases: Special systems are needed for handling materials under pressure. Toxic and corrosive gases present special problems in designing engineering controls. The physical and health hazards of any material are typically compounded by the pressure hazard. Carefully observe special precautions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Always use the smallest size cylinder required to perform the work. Cylinders of compressed gases must be handled as high energy sources. Cylinders on wheeled carts must be capped and secured by an approved cylinder support strap or chain. The cart must be an approved cylinder cart. Do not attempt to take a loaded cylinder cart up or down a stairway. All uncapped cylinders must be secured independently (not ganged behind a single chain) to a solid element of the lab structure. Carts are not acceptable for supporting uncapped or in-use cylinders. Never bleed a cylinder completely empty. Leave a slight pressure to keep contaminants out. Oil or grease on the high pressure side of an oxygen cylinder can cause an explosion. Do not lubricate an oxygen regulator or use a fuel gas regulator on an oxygen cylinder. Always wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields when handling compressed gases. Always use appropriate gauges, fittings, and materials compatible with the particular gas being handled. Regulators must be compatible with gas cylinders (do not use adapters). When work with toxic, corrosive, or reactive gases is planned, REM should be contacted for information concerning specific handling requirements for the gas involved. Generally, these gases will need to be used and stored with local exhaust ventilation such as a lab hood or a gas cabinet designed for that purpose. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 30 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Cryogens: Some of the hazards associated with cryogens (fluids used to maintain extremely low temperatures) are fire, pressure, embrittlement of materials, and skin or eye burns upon contact with the liquid. Cryogens can condense nearly pure liquid oxygen from the air, creating a severe fire risk. A pressure hazard exists because of the large expansion ratio from liquid to gas, causing pressure build up in containers. Many materials become brittle at extreme low temperatures. Brief contact with materials at extreme low temperatures can cause burns similar to thermal burns. Carefully observe all special precautions. 1. Equipment should be kept clean, especially when working with liquid or gaseous oxygen. 2. Mixtures of gases or fluids should be strictly controlled to prevent formation of flammable or explosive mixtures. 3. For flammable cryogens the precautions provided in the "Flammable/Combustible Materials" section of this booklet should be used. 4. Always wear goggles when handling cryogens. If there is a splash or spray hazard, a face shield over the goggles, an impervious apron or coat, cuffless trousers, and fullycovering, non-lacing shoes should be worn. Watches, rings, and other jewelry should not be worn. Gloves should be impervious and sufficiently large to be readily thrown off should a cryogen be spilled. Cryo-gloves or pot holders should also be used. Respirators may be required if the cryogen is toxic and sufficient local exhaust ventilation is not available. Contact REM for exposure monitoring. 5. Containers and systems containing cryogens should have pressure relief mechanisms. 6. Containers and systems should be capable of withstanding extreme cold without becoming brittle. Glass containers should be taped solidly around the outside or encased in plastic mesh. 7. Funnels should not be used for pouring liquid nitrogen or any other cryogen. 8. Large mobile Dewars or LN2 refrigerators (or the trolleys carrying these) used for transporting cryogens within a building or between buildings should be equipped with a braking mechanism. 9. Large mobile Dewars at risk for tipping should be transported on appropriate carts. Wheeled trolleys may not be used if the vessel must pass over elevator thresholds or other slots/crevasses wider than 25% of the wheel width. 10. Dispensing stations designed to allow research staff to fill smaller vessels from a larger self-pressurizing Dewar must be located in non-public areas, and should be posted with standard operating procedures. 11. Smaller vessels of liquid nitrogen or other cryogens transported by hand within or between buildings must have a handle or bail, and must be covered.

Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 31 HEALTH HAZARDS "Health hazard" refers to chemicals for which there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one study conducted in accordance with established scientific principles that acute or chronic health effects may occur in exposed employees. This term includes chemicals which are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic agents, reproductive toxins, irritants, corrosives, sensitizers, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. For a detailed discussion of industrial toxicology and information on health hazards associated with specific chemicals, refer to Appendix E. For many toxic materials, hygienic standards have been established and action must be taken to prevent personnel from receiving exposures in excess of these standards. These standards may be referred to as threshold limit values (TLVs) or permissible exposure limits (PELs). For specific information on the terms TLV or PEL, refer to the glossary in Appendix I. The MSDS will list the hygienic standard for the hazardous chemical or each component of a mixture. In addition, REM has a complete listing of published TLVs and PELs and other works concerning the subject of industrial toxicology. If you would like to conduct a more thorough review of a particular compound, or if you would like an evaluation of the exposure to a specific material used in your work area, contact REM. Protection from health hazards is provided by ensuring that exposure to such hazards is minimized or eliminated. To minimize the exposure, it is necessary to determine the route by which the exposure may occur, i.e. inhalation, skin contact, puncture, ingestion, or a combination of exposure routes. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 32 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Allergens: The term allergens describes a wide variety of substances that can produce skin and lung hypersensitivity. Examples include diazomethane, chromium, nickel bichromates, formaldehyde, isocyanates, and certain phenols. Wear suitable gloves to prevent hand contact with allergens or substances of unknown allergenic activity. Conduct aerosol producing procedures in a fume hood.

Special Precautions for Working with Chemicals of Moderate Chronic or High Acute Toxicity: See Appendix E of this manual for definition and discussion of the meanings of chronic and acute toxicity. Examples of chemicals of moderate chronic toxicity or high acute toxicity include diisopropylfluorophosphate, hydrofluoric acid, and hydrogen cyanide. 1. Consult one of the standard compilations that list toxic properties of known substances and learn what is known about the substance that will be used. Follow the specific precautions and procedures for the chemical. 2. Use and store these substances only in designated (restricted access) areas placarded with appropriate warning signs. 3. Use a hood or other containment device for procedures which may result in the generation of aerosols or vapors; trap released vapors to prevent their discharge with fume hood exhaust. 4. Avoid skin contact by use of gloves and long sleeves and other protective apparel as appropriate. 5. Maintain records of the amounts of materials on hand, amounts used, and the names of the workers involved. 6. Be prepared for accidents and spills. At least two people should be present at all times if compounds in use are highly toxic or of unknown toxicity. 7. Store breakable containers in chemically resistant trays; also work and mount apparatus above such trays or cover work and storage surfaces with removable, absorbent, plastic backed paper. 8. If a major spill occurs outside the hood, evacuate the area and call for assistance (See cover page). 9. Thoroughly decontaminate or dispose of contaminated clothing or shoes. If possible, chemically decontaminate by chemical conversion to a less toxic product. 10. Store contaminated waste in closed, suitably labeled, impervious containers. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 34 MODEL WRITTEN SOP -- The OSHA Laboratory Standard explicitly requires "standard operating procedures relevant to safety and health considerations to be followed when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals." If the model SOPs in this "Special Precautions" section do not fulfill this requirement, you must amend and append in some manner so as to comply. Special Precautions for Working with Chemicals of High Chronic Toxicity: See Appendix E of this manual for definition and discussion of the meanings of chronic and acute toxicity. Examples of chemicals exhibiting high chronic toxicity include dimethylmercury, nickel carbonyl, benzo-a-pyrene, N-nitrosodiethylamine, and other human carcinogens or substances with high carcinogenic potency in animals. 1. Conduct all transfers and work in designated (restricted access) areas: a restricted access hood, glove box, or portion of a lab, designated for use of highly toxic substances, for which all persons with access are aware of the substances being used and necessary precautions. 2. Protect vacuum pumps against contamination with scrubbers or HEPA filters and vent effluent into the hood.. 3. Decontaminate vacuum pumps or other contaminated equipment, including glassware, before removing them from the designated area. Decontaminate the designated area before normal work is resumed there. 4. On leaving the area, remove protective apparel (placing it in an appropriate, labeled container) and thoroughly wash hands, forearms, face, and neck. 5. Use a wet mop or a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to decontaminate surfaces. DO NOT DRY SWEEP SPILLED POWDERS. 6. If using toxicologically significant quantities of a substance on a regular basis (in quantities above a few milligrams to a few grams, depending on the substance, 3 or more times per week), contact REM. REM will arrange for a medical consultation, if appropriate. 7. Keep accurate records of the amounts of these substances stored and used, the dates of use, and names of users. 8. The designated area must be conspicuously marked with warning and restricted access signs and all containers should be appropriately labeled with identity and warning labels (e.g., CANCER-SUSPECT AGENT). 9. Ensure that contingency plans, equipment, and materials to minimize exposures of people and property in case of accident are available. 10. For a negative pressure glove box, ventilation rate must be at least 2 volume changes/ hour and at a pressure of at least 0.5 inches of water gauge. For a positive pressure glove box, thoroughly test for leaks before each use. In either case, trap the exit gases or filter them through a HEPA filter and then release them into a fume hood. 11. Use chemical decontamination whenever possible; ensure that containers of contaminated wasted are transferred from the designated area under the supervision of authorized personnel.

DOT regulations require, in part, that no person may offer or accept a hazardous material for transportation unless the material is properly classified, described, packaged, marked, labeled, manifested, and in condition for shipment. This includes hazardous materials transported between the various University buildings and campuses. DOT regulations require the driver of a vehicle transporting hazardous materials in quantities requiring a placard to possess a Commercial Driver's License. For materials classified as "dangerous by inhalation", there is no exempt quantity. DOT regulations also specify training requirements for any individual who engages in the following activities: a. Load, unloads, or handles hazardous materials in transportation; b. Reconditions or tests containers, drums, or packages represented for use in the transportation of hazardous materials; c. Prepares hazardous materials for transportation; d. Is responsible for safety of transported hazardous materials; or e. Operates a vehicle (including personal vehicle) used to transport hazardous materials. Prior to shipping or transporting a hazardous material, contact the Materials Management Shipping Office (ext. 47103) or REM. Refer to glossary for a complete definition of hazardous materials (see Hazardous Material DOT). TRANSPORTATION INSIDE BUILDINGS AND BY FOOT The Chemical Management Committee has adopted the following policy for the transportation of hazardous materials inside of buildings or while on foot: a.Stock Room personnel shall not dispense or sell chemicals in breakable containers of any size unless the customer has an approved transport container in which to place the chemical for transporting before leaving the Stock Room. Chemical requisitioners may purchase a transport container from Chemistry Stores or General Stores. b.Approved Transport Container means a commercially available bottle carrier made of rubber, metal, or plastic with carrying handle(s) which is large enough to hold the contents of the container if broken in transit. Carrier lids or covers are recommended, but not required. Rubber or plastic should be used for acids/alkalies; and metal, rubber, or plastic for organic solvents. c.Laboratory Carts used to transport chemicals from one area to another shall be stable an in good condition. Transport only a quantity which can be handled easily. Plan the route ahead of time so as to avoid all steps or stairs. d.Freight Elevators, Not Passenger Elevators, should be used to transport hazardous chemicals whenever possible. The individual transporting the hazardous chemicals should operate the elevator alone if possible. Avoid getting on an elevator when a person is transporting hazardous chemicals.

What are the possible emergencies which could occur during your work, e.g., fire, spill, high level chemical exposure? Are systems available to alert you to an emergency situation, e.g., chemical exposure monitoring systems? What supplies and equipment should you maintain in your area to assist you or emergency response personnel in the event of an emergency, e.g., eyewash and safety shower, spill control materials, personal protective clothing? What training do you need to handle an emergency in your area, e.g., emergency first aid or respirator use training? Is it safe for you to work alone? BASIC STEPS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE Determine the nature of the emergency.  High hazard emergency. If the emergency is immediately dangerous to life and health, involves a large area, major injury to personnel, is a threat to personnel and the public, involves radioactive material, involves an infectious agent, or involves a highly toxic, corrosive, or reactive hazardous material, then proceed with Plan A below.  Low hazard emergency. If the emergency is small, there is no fire hazard, involves low to moderately toxic materials in small amounts, or involves a readily treatable injury, proceed with Plan B below.  Fire and fire-related emergencies. If the emergency involves a fire or fire-related situation such as abnormal heating of material, hazardous gas leaks, flammable liquid spill, smoke, or odor of burning, proceed with steps in the "FIRE AND FIRE-RELATED EMERGENCIES" section below.  If the emergency involves a mercury spill, see section headed "MERCURY SPILLS.”  Unknown. If you do not know the nature of the emergency or are in any way uncertain as to how to handle the emergency, proceed with Plan A below. PLAN A, HIGH HAZARD EMERGENCIES    Isolate the area, if possible, and evacuate. Keep others out of the area and take action to protect life and limb. Call emergency response numbers (see cover page) and activate the building fire system. When you call:     Identify yourself and the reason you are calling. Identify the exact location of the emergency. Identify the nature of the emergency, any injuries or symptoms involved, and any hazardous materials involved if you know them. Provide rescue only if you are properly protected from the hazard. Never attempt to rescue someone who is unconscious unless you know what the problem is and you know you are properly protected from the hazard.   Do not move a seriously injured person unless he/she is in further danger. Anyone overcome with smoke or chemical gases or vapors should be removed to uncontaminated air and treated for shock. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 38  Provide first aid if you have the capability.  For chemical splash in the eyes or on the skin, remove contact lenses and rinse affected area for at least 15 minutes in emergency eyewash or shower, or use other water source. Remove any contaminated clothing, including undergarments and jewelry. Call an ambulance (see cover page).  Identify yourself and be available to provide emergency response personnel information when they arrive. If possible, collect Material Safety Data Sheets for chemicals involved and provide these to the emergency response personnel. PLAN B, LOW HAZARD EMERGENCIES  For a minor injury, report to the Purdue University Student Health Center or local emergency room for treatment. All injuries which occur on the job should be treated at the Health Center or hospital.  For a small spill, use an absorbent material that will neutralize the spill, if available. Spill kits are available from safety equipment supply companies (see Appendix F), or the following materials can be maintained:     trisodium phosphate sand (not for use with HF) sodium bicarbonate powdered citric acid    "Oil-Dri," "Zorb-All," "Speedi-Dri," etc. absorbent paper towels bentonite, kitty litter, sand and soda ash mixture A dustpan and brush should be used, and protective clothing (e.g., rubber gloves and goggles) should be worn. The area should be decontaminated with soap and water after clean-up. Residue should be placed in an appropriate container for waste collection. Contact the REM Hazardous Materials Management section (40121) for disposal information. FIRE AND FIRE-RELATED EMERGENCIES If you discover a fire or fire-related emergency such as abnormal heating of material, hazardous gas leaks, hazardous material or flammable liquid spill, smoke, or odor of burning, immediately follow these procedures:  Activate the building fire alarm system (fire pull station). If not available or operational, verbally notify persons in the building.  Notify the Fire Department (see cover page).  Isolate the area and evacuate the building:  Shut down equipment in the immediate area, if possible  Close doors to isolate the area  Use a portable fire extinguisher* to:  Assist oneself to evacuate  Assist another to evacuate  Control a small fire, if possible *Fire extinguisher training is required in some departments, and is available from Safety and Security. Staff who have not been trained to use extinguishers are not be required to do so. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 39  Provide the fire/police teams with the details of the problem upon their arrival. Special hazard information you may know is essential. If fire alarms are ringing in your building:  evacuate the building  move at least 200 feet away from the building  stay clear of driveways, sidewalks and other access ways to the building  if you are a supervisor, try to account for your employees and report any missing persons to the emergency personnel at the scene.  Assist emergency personnel, as requested.  Do not reenter the building until directed to do so. Follow any special procedures established for your unit. MERCURY SPILLS For small spills, such as a thermometer break, use a trapped vacuum line attached to a tapered glass tube, similar to a medicine dropper, to pick up mercury droplets.  Do not use a domestic or commercial vacuum cleaner.  Cover small droplets in accessible areas with one of the following:  sodium polysulfide solution  powdered sulfur  silver metal compounds  dry ice to freeze the mercury droplets  Place residue in container for hazardous waste collection. For larger spills, or any spill for which you believe unrecovered mercury might remain, contact the REM Hazardous Materials Management section for spill clean-up, instructions, or assistance (40121).

Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 40 INJURY AND ILLNESS GENERAL Employees and students must notify their immediate supervisor or instructor of all illnesses and injuries related to exposure to hazardous chemicals. Employees and students should report to the Purdue University Student Health Center if medical attention is required. Students should be accompanied by a friend, teaching assistant or instructor. If transportation is necessary, the University Police (see cover page) should be called to get transportation for the victim. Do not move a seriously injured person unless he/she is in further danger. Do not transport injured person(s) in personal or department vehicles. Call 911 for ambulance transportation. In cases of serious injury or illness, it is imperative that appropriate actions be followed immediately. When in doubt as to what should be done, telephone the University Police at (see cover page) for assistance. Give emergency and medical personnel the following information:  your name, location and nature of the emergency  the name of the chemical involved  the amount involved  area of the body affected  symptoms The supervisor or instructor must ensure the appropriate injury report forms are completed. Contact your Business Office for additional information. If you have any questions regarding injury and illness procedures, contact your supervisor, instructor, or the University Police. MINOR FIRST-AID First Aid Kits. First aid kits are not recommended except for remote operations where emergency care is not readily available. If a department desires a first aid kit, it must be maintained with essential supplies at all times. See the General Stores Catalog for a list of essential supplies. First aid kit supplies can be purchased from General Stores.  First aid kits must be readily accessible. If the kit is not visible, the area where it is stored must be clearly marked.  Do not dispense or administer any medications, including aspirin.  Do not put any ointments or creams on wounds or burns. Use cool water.  The MSDS contains special first aid information.  After giving first aid, call the ambulance (see cover page) to transport the victim to a medical facility for evaluation.  Student and employee first aid cases are treated at the Purdue University Student Health Center (West Lafayette campus).

Toxicity is the ability of a chemical molecule or compound to produce injury once it reaches a susceptible site in or on the body. Toxicity hazard is the probability that injury will occur considering the manner in which the substance is used. Dose-Response Relationships The potential toxicity (harmful action) inherent in a substance is manifest only when that substance comes in contact with a living biological system. A chemical normally thought of as "harmless" will evoke a toxic response if added to a biological system in sufficient amount. The toxic potency of a chemical is thus ultimately defined by the relationship that is produced in a biological system. Routes of Entry into the Body There are four main routes by which hazardous chemicals enter the body:     Inhalation: Absorption through the respiratory tract. Most important in terms of severity. Skin absorption. Ingestion: Absorption through the digestive tract. Can occur through eating or smoking with contaminated hands or in contaminated work areas. Injection. Can occur by accidental needle stick or puncture of skin with a sharp object. Most exposure standards, Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) and Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs), are based on the inhalation route of exposure. They are normally expressed in terms of either parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) concentration in air. If a significant route of exposure for a substance is through skin contact, the TLV or PEL will have a "skin" notation. Examples are pesticides, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, dioxane, mercury, thallium compounds, xylene, hydrogen cyanide. Types of Effects Acute poisoning is characterized by rapid absorption of the substance and the exposure is sudden and severe. Normally, a single large exposure is involved. Examples are carbon monoxide or cyanide poisoning. Chronic poisoning is characterized by prolonged or repeated exposures of a duration measured in days, months or years. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Examples are lead or mercury poisoning, pesticide exposure. Local refers to the site of action of an agent and means the action takes place at the point or area of contact. The site may be skin, mucous membranes, the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal system, eyes, etc. Absorption does not necessarily occur. Examples are strong acids or alkalis and war gases. Systemic refers to a site of action other than the point of contact and presupposes absorption has taken place. For example, an inhaled material may act on the liver. Examples are arsenic affects the blood, nervous system, liver, kidneys and skin; benzene affects bone marrow. APPENDIX E - Industrial Toxicological Overview Cumulative poisons are characterized by materials that tend to build up in the body as a result of numerous chronic exposures. The effects are not seen until a critical body burden is reached. Examples are heavy metals. Substances in combination, meaning two or more hazardous materials present at the same time whose resulting effect is greater than the effect predicted based on the individual substances. This combined effect is called a synergistic or potentiating effect. An example is exposure to alcohol and chlorinated solvents. Other Factors Affecting Toxicity  Rate of entry and route of exposure; that is, how fast the toxic dose is delivered and by what means.  Age can effect the capacity to repair tissue damaged.  Previous exposure can lead to tolerance, increased sensitivity, or make no difference.  State of health, medications, physical condition, and life style can affect the toxic response. Pre-existing disease can result in increased sensitivity.  Environmental factors, such as temperature and pressure.  Host factors, including genetic predisposition and the sex of the exposed individual. Physical Classifications of Toxic Materials Gas applies to a substance which is in the gaseous state at room temperature and pressure. A vapor is the gaseous phase of a material which is ordinarily a solid or a liquid at room temperature and pressure. When considering the toxicity of gases and vapors, the solubility of the substance is a key factor. Highly soluble materials like ammonia irritate the upper respiratory tract. On the other hand, relatively insoluble materials like nitrogen dioxide penetrate deep into the lung. Fat soluble materials, like pesticides, tend to have longer residence times in the body. An aerosol is composed of solid or liquid particles of microscopic size dispersed in a gaseous medium. The toxic potential of an aerosol is only partially described by its concentration in milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3). For a proper assessment of the toxic hazard, the size of the aerosol's particles is important. Particles above 1 micrometer tend to deposit in the upper respiratory tract. Below 1 micrometer particles enter the lung. Very small particles (< 0.2 um) are generally not deposited. Physiological Classifications of Toxic Materials Irritants are materials that cause inflammation of mucous membranes with which they come in contact. Inflammation of tissue results from concentrations far below those needed to cause corrosion. Examples include:     ammonia hydrogen chloride halogens phosgene     nitrogen dioxide arsenic trichloride phosphorus chlorides alkaline dusts and mists  diethyl/dimethyl sulfate  hydrogen fluoride  ozone Irritants can also cause changes in the mechanics of respiration and lung function. Examples include:  sulfur dioxide  formaldehyde  sulfuric acid  iodine  acetic acid  formic acid  acrolein Long term exposure to irritants can result in increased mucous secretions and chronic bronchitis. APPENDIX E - Industrial Toxicological Overview A primary irritant exerts no systemic toxic action either because the products formed on the tissue of the respiratory tract are non-toxic or because the irritant action is far in excess of any systemic toxic action. Example: hydrogen chloride. A secondary irritant's effect on mucous membranes is over-shadowed by a systemic effect resulting from absorption. Examples include hydrogen sulfide and aromatic hydrocarbons. Exposure to a secondary irritant can result in pulmonary edema, hemorrhage, and tissue necrosis. Corrosives are chemicals which may cause visible destruction of or irreversible alterations in living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact. Examples include sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide, chromic acid, and sodium hydroxide Asphyxiants have the ability to deprive tissue of oxygen. Simple asphyxiants are inert gases that displace oxygen. Examples include, nitrogen. nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and helium. Chemical asphyxiants have as their specific toxic action rendering the body incapable of utilizing an adequate oxygen supply. They are toxic at very low concentrations (few ppm). Examples include carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. Primary anesthetics have a depressant effect upon the central nervous system, particularly the brain. Examples include halogenated hydrocarbons, ether, and alcohols. Hepatotoxic agents cause damage to the liver. Examples include carbon tetrachloride, nitrosamines, and tetrachloroethane. Nephrotoxic agents damage the kidneys. Examples include halogenated hydrocarbons and uranium compounds. Neurotoxic agents damage the nervous system. The nervous system is especially sensitive to organometallic compounds and certain sulfide compounds. Examples include:  trialkyl tin compounds  methyl mercury  organic phosphorus  insecticides  tetraethyl lead  carbon disulfide  thallium  manganese Some toxic agents act on the blood or hematopoietic system. The blood cells can be directly affected or bone marrow can be damaged. Examples include:  nitrites  toluidine  benzene  aniline  nitrobenzene There are toxic agents that produce damage of the pulmonary tissue (lungs) but not by immediate irritant action. Fibrotic changes can be caused by free crystalline silica and asbestos. Other dusts can cause a restrictive disease called pneumoconiosis. Examples include coal dust, cotton dust and wood dusts. A carcinogen commonly describes any agent or mixture which contains an agent that can initiate or speed the development of malignant or potentially malignant tumors or malignant neoplastic proliferation of cells. Known human carcinogens include:  asbestos  ethylene oxide  coal tar pitch volatiles  alpha-napthylamine  N-nitrosodimethylamine  4-nitrobiphenyl  3,3'-dichlorobenzidine  inorganic arsenic  methyl chloromethyl ether  vinyl chloride  1,2-dibromo-3 bis-chloromethyl ether chloropropane (DBCP) A mutagen affects the chromosome chains of exposed cells. The effect is hereditary and becomes part of the genetic pool passed on to future generations. APPENDIX E - Industrial Toxicological Overview A teratogen (embryotoxic or fetotoxic agent) is an agent which interferes with normal embryonic development without damage to the mother or lethal effect on the fetus. Effects are not hereditary. Examples include lead and dibromodichloropropane. A sensitizer causes a substantial proportion of exposed people to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical. The reaction may be as mild as a rash (contact dermatitis) or as serious as anaphylactic shock. Examples include:  epoxides  amines  poison ivy  toluene diisocyanate  chromium compounds  chlorinated hydrocarbons  formaldehyde  nickel compounds Target Organ Effects The following is a target organ categorization of effects which may occur, including examples of signs and symptoms and chemicals which have been found to cause such effects.  Hepatotoxics cause liver damage Signs and symptoms: jaundice, liver enlargement Example chemicals: carbon tetrachloride, nitrosamines, chloroform, toluene, perchloroethylene, cresol, dimethylsulfate  Nephrotoxics produce kidney damage Signs and symptoms: edema, proteinuria Example chemicals: halogenated hydrocarbons, uranium, chloroform, mercury, dimethyl sulfate  Neurotoxins affect the nervous system Signs and symptoms: narcosis, behavioral changes, decreased muscle coordination Example chemicals: mercury, carbon disulfide, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, lead, mercury, nitrobenzene  Hematopoietic agents decrease blood functions Signs and symptoms: cyanosis, loss of consciousness. Example chemicals: carbon monoxide, cyanides, nitrobenzene, aniline, arsenic, benzene, toluene  Pulmonary agents irritate or damage the lungs Signs and symptoms: cough, tightness in chest, shortness of breath. Example chemicals: silica, asbestos, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, hydrogen sulfide, chromium, nickel, alcohol.  Reproductive toxins affect the reproductive system. (mutations and teratogenesis) Signs and symptoms: birth defects, sterility. Example chemicals: lead, dibromodichloropropane.  Skin hazards affect the dermal layer of the body Signs and symptoms: defatting of skin, rashes, irritation. Example chemicals: ketones, chlorinated compounds, alcohols, nickel, phenol, trichloroethylene.  Eye hazards affect the eye or vision Signs and symptoms: conjunctivitis, corneal damage. Example chemicals: organic solvents, acids, cresol, quinone, hydroquinone, benzyl chloride, butyl alcohol, bases.

APPENDIX I - Glossary APPENDIX I Glossary ACGIH - The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists is a voluntary membership organization of professional industrial hygiene personnel in governmental or educational institutions. The ACGIH develops and publishes recommended occupational exposure limits each year called Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for hundreds of chemicals, physical agents, and biological exposure indices. ACUTE - Severe, often dangerous, conditions in which relatively rapid changes occur. ACUTE EXPOSURE - An intense exposure over a relatively short period of time. AEROSOL - Liquid droplets or solid particles dispersed in air that are of fine enough size (less than 100 micrometers) to remain dispersed for a period of time. ALIPHATIC - Open-chain carbon compounds and those cyclic carbon compounds that behave, chemically, like an open-chain compound. Examples include methane and ethane. ANSI - The American National Standards Institute is a voluntary membership organization (run with private funding) that develops consensus standards nationally for a wide variety of devices and procedures. AROMATIC - Relates to the structural characteristics of the chemical and not to the odor of the chemical. Many aromatic compounds contain one or more six-carbon rings. Examples include benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and xylene. ASPHYXIANT - A chemical (gas or vapor) that can cause death or unconsciousness by suffocation.

If there are any circumstances, procedures, or operations which require the approval of the supervisor prior to their implementation those should be given in this section. Recommended for consideration as activities requiring prior approval of the supervisor are: new procedures; working alone; leaving operations unattended; operations in which PELs or TLVs may be exceeded or other harm is likely; work with chemicals that have a potential for violent reaction; class IV lasers, known human carcinogens; large scale reactions; and high pressure reactions (>5 atm). Supervisor: David H. Thompson Department: Chemistry Affected buildings/rooms: Wetherill building rooms 415, 417, 423A If no attachments are necessary, supervisor must print this document and sign below: Supervisor’s Signature: SIGNATURE IS TO BE ON PRINTED COPY IN SAFETY NOTEBOOK IN LAB Otherwise, list attached programs/plans by title: Attachement: - Special precautions for Working with Pyrophoric Materials The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website. Always check there -- being at www.purdue.edu/REM -- to make sure that you have the official version of any form or other document. 77 APPENDIX L - Hazard Assessment APPENDIX L Hazard Assessment and Hazard Assessment Certification Examples "Hazard assessment" is the process (required by law) of identifying the hazards associated with defined task, prescribing personal protective equipment and other relevant protection measures which must be employed to reduce the risk from the hazards. "Certification of Hazard Assessment" is a written document -- such as the examples #1 and #2 following in this appendix -- which gives the complete requirements for PPE (and sometimes other protective equipment or procedures) for every hazardous task or job description in the work area. The supervisor is responsible for ensuring that hazard assessments are performed and the certification(s) written and posted in each work area. The supervisor may delegate or contract the labor involved in this process, but cannot reassign or disclaim the responsibility. Strict adherence to any of the examples is not required, so long as the hazard assessment certification  identifies the workplace -- building and room(s),  identifies the document as a certification of hazard assessment,  is signed by the supervisor to certify/validate that supervisor has approved the assessment  bears the date of the hazard assessment  meets the legal requirements of specifying exactly which PPE is to be used and the task(s) or job description(s) which require it, and which . INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________  You may save the REM website example hazard assessment certifications (rtf     files are provided) to your computer or network and use them to help with creating your own. If you do this you must modify any example you use so that it meets all the specific hazards of your work area. This includes removing or adding hazards as applicable to your work area. For example do not post required PPE for "Arc and TIG welding" if neither of these operations is undertaken in your work areas. Certification(s) of hazard assessments must be posted -- tacked or hung in a visible place -- in every work room listed in the "location(s)" field. The fields at the beginning -- date(s), location(s), supervisor, and signature -must be completed. Be very aware that once these are posted they become rules which must be enforced. Post signed certification in work rooms. The official versions of all REM forms and documents are the versions at the REM website.
