LABORATORY SAFETY CHECKLIST

The following checklist may used to:

• Determine whether or not a safe environment exists.
• Indicate possible areas of concern and danger.
• Act as a monitoring device for periodic safety checks.
• Act as a permanent record of an on-going safety program.

1. General good housekeeping prevails and aisles are clear of materials and apparatus.

2. Adequate storage space is provided for chemicals, materials, and apparatus.

3. The classroom/laboratory has no blind spots where students cannot be supervised by the teacher from anywhere in the classroom/laboratory.

4. Open shelves are equipped with lips or restraining wires to prevent spilling of chemicals or broken glassware during explosion or earthquake.

5. Separate fireproof waste containers are provided for spent matches, filter paper.

6. The light level is adequate (about 75 to 100 foot - candles at work surfaces).

7. Separate waste containers are provided for broken glass, non-flammable used chemicals, and so on.

8. A fire extinguisher is kept in working condition at all times in a conspicuous and accessible place.

9. An approved fire blanket is kept in a conspicuous and accessible place.

10.  Flammable fluids and materials stored in the classroom are kept in fireproof containers (not glass) and in quantities sufficient for only one day's supply.

11. An approved fire-retardant storage cabinet separate from the classroom is used to store large quantities of flammable, corrosive, and other dangerous chemicals.

12. Flammable liquids are not kept in refrigerators, unless it is certified as explosion proof.

13. Food is not kept in refrigerators used for storing science supplies.

14. To avoid contact with possible flooding or other spilled chemicals, store large storage bottles of strong acids and bases plus other dangerous chemicals on the lowest cabinet shelves but not on the floor.

15. Ethers are periodically disposed of if the presence of peroxides is suspended.

16. Sodium is stored under kerosene or oil.

17. Incompatible chemicals are not stored adjacent to one another.

18. All chemicals are dated on receipt, and current inventory maintained.

19. Quantities of hazardous chemicals kept on hand are limited to the amounts needed during one school year.

20. Proper labels and signs are kept in place on all chemicals and on the storage area.

21. Neutralizing reagents are located conveniently in the laboratory for treatment of spills.

22. Chemical containers are inspected periodically for leakage or deterioration (such as sediments and discoloration), and approved disposal procedures are followed as necessary.

23. Any gas cylinder is stored according to the required  safety code, e.g., chained or strapped in a cart or to the wall.

24. Splash-proof safety goggles, face shields, aprons, and so on are available in a cart or to the wall.

25. Eye wash fountains and safety showers are easily accessible, identified, and flushed weekly to remove rust and scale.

26. Fume hoods are clean, uncluttered, and tested periodically for adequate air flow.

27. Electrical outlets and extension cords are kept in a safe working condition.

28. All electrical equipment should be three-wire grounded except for double-insulated tools or equipment which has no exposed metallic parts that could become energized.

29. Electrical equipment such as the refrigerator and aquarium aerators are connected directly to wall outlets and not serviced through an extension cord.

30. Gas outlets and burners are maintained in safe working condition.

31. The location of the matter gas shut-off valve is known and readily accessible.

32. Plumbing fixtures are in correct operating condition.  Faucets must be equipped with vacuum breakers to prevent backflow.

33. Sink drains are inspected periodically for corrosion and kept free from solid wastes.

34. Fire drill regulations are posted and familiar to all students.

35. The Department of Science and Math's emergency procedures are prominently posted.

36. An adequate first-aid kit, including the Red Cross Standard First Aid and Personal Safety Manual or appropriate alternate information, is provided.

37. The teacher is familiar with first aid and safety measures pertinent to science instruction and as presented in DSM Laboratory Safety Manuals and reference materials.  The MSDS, DSM Laboratory Safety Manual, Chemical Hygiene Plan and Science Safety Handbook are readily accessible.

38. Classroom/Laboratory free of irregularities or dangerous situations including but not limited to faulty equipment, proper ventilation, and safety supplies.

39. Written materials relating to safety precautions provided on a regular basis as follow-up and reinforcement to the regular teaching and instructional programs.

40. Students informed verbally and in written form as to the consequences of inappropriate behavior, horseplay, and unsafe use of equipment and materials.  Waiver slips signed by students which warns them of specific dangers for unsafe use of materials or equipment.

41. Documentation of the types of instruction and the dates when safety-related instructions were demonstrated, conducted, or test completed and files maintained. 

42. Potential dangers (safety hazards, defective equipment, or unsafe conditions) reported immediately to the designated safety officer.  Students are not allowed to work under dangerous situations.  Instructors do not allow students to continue working in a dangerous situation.

43. Instructors qualified and able to show proper use and care and maintenance of safety equipment.  Documentation of staff training (group or individual) maintained.  Documentation and recording of the types of safety materials, in-service training, and instruction classes that staff members have been sent to or attended.

44. Division of Science and Math and instructors have an emergency plan of action that includes the following: 

• Safety procedure plan which defines the who, what, when, and where involved, and how emergency help will be handled and managed.
• Location and procedures that will be utilized by medical specialists, appropriate for the specific injury.

45. Full disclosure (specific listing of potential dangers) on file.

46. Safety record-keeping includes:

• Scripts
• Videotapes/films
• Lessons
• Test for knowledge and training
• Accidents and procedures to remediate (includes dates and times or meetings.)
• Equipment inspection
• Emergency card documents (medical release forms)
• Training (e.g., CPR, OSHA, guides and guidelines) for both students and staff to indicate knowledge of current change and procedures.
• First-aid training and kit maintenance
• Procedure for contacting the following community resources/information established and made available to every instructor: 1) fire department, 2) ambulance, 3) hospital, 4) doctor/dentist, 5) student medical release form, and 6) student medical records (e.g., special medical problems).

Safety Rules for Refrigerators, Freezers, and the Cold Room

1. These are shared resources primarily for support of teaching labs and courses. Storage of food and drink in these units is forbidden at all times.

2. Keep units clean. When a chemical substance is spilled, clean immediately with water. When potentially infectious material is spilled, clean immediately with either 70% isopropyl alcohol or some other disinfectant agent. Afterwards, wipe down area with soap and water.

3. Label all containers that holds experimental material with:

	(for example:)
Name	Dr. Maynard
Date	10/15/00
Research	Cell Biology
Expiration	Date

4. Label all containers that holds student material with:

	(for example:)
Name	N. Jacobs
Date	3/8/00
Course #	BIO 142
Instructor	Dr. Fujimori
Expiration	Date

5. Do not clutter storage space. Place all glassware that contains cultures and chemicals inside some type of labeled container with a firmly fixed cover. Do not use measuring volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders to store materials. Do not use glass breakers as lids for bottles.

6. Do not carelessly stack material too high upon each other. Especially, do not stack loose petri-dishes plates. Always tape together stacks of plates or place in a plastic bag. Untaped stacks are a potential hazard if they topple when the door is opened or hit accidentally.

7. Place large containers and large bottles on the bottom shelves. Positioned and secured these items wisely so that they will not fall out of the unit.

8. NO FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS CAN BE STORED IN refrigerator and freezer. FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS CAN BE STORED IN THEIR PROPER CONTAINER INSIDE THE COLD ROOM ONLY.

9. Refer to either the Handbook of Chemistry or the Sigma-Aldrich catalog as a guide for the list of chemicals that either can be stored or must be stored in a refrigerated area. If no information is available or if there are any problems, please consult the Lab Manager.
