实验室安全指引

This 实验室安全指引 was developed to assist those working in University of New England laboratories by providing information on maintaining a safe laboratory and complying with environmental and safety regulations.

Plan Your Work

  • 在进行任何实验之前, you should access the hazards related to the work, including what are the worst possible things that could go wrong; how to deal with them; and what are the prudent practices, 防护设施, and equipment necessary to minimize the risk of exposure to the hazards.
  • 始终了解所使用材料的危害(e).g., corrosivity, flammability, reactivity, and toxicity).
  • Read the 安全数据表 (SDS) for information on all chemicals you plan to use. Make sure all 个人防护装备 (PPE) is on hand. 使用SDS来选择所需的设备.
  • Post emergency contact numbers by the laboratory door or phone using an EHS Emergency Contact Card. 要获得卡，请联系EHS.
  • Inspect equipment and apparatus for weaknesses, cracks or damage before beginning work.
  • Inspect electrical equipment and cords for frayed wiring or damage before use. 使用前应丢弃或修理损坏的设备.

Follow all Safety Procedures

  • Always wear chemical splash goggles for eye protection when working with chemicals.
  • When pouring large quantities of hazardous chemicals, 除了护目镜, wear a face shield large enough to protect your ears and neck as well as your face.
  • 处理化学品时一定要戴上手套. Select the glove material based on compatibility with the chemicals you may contact.
  • Always wear appropriate clothing: chemically resistant lab coats or aprons are recommended.
  • Do not wear shorts or miniskirts (anything that would leave your legs bare and unprotected). Do not wear high-heeled shoes, open-toed/heeled shoes, sandals, or shoes made of woven materials. 限制长发和宽松的衣服.
  • Do not work with hazardous chemicals or processes when alone in the laboratory. An instructor must supervise undergraduate students at all times.
  • Always use chemicals with adequate ventilation or in a chemical fume hood. Do not allow the release of toxic substances in cold rooms or warm rooms, 由于这些地区已被遏制, 循环的空气,.
  • Use chemicals only as directed and for their intended purpose.
  • Never use mouth suction to fill a pipette or siphon. 使用移液管或其他合适的设备.
  • Handle needles, syringes, and other sharps carefully. Use self-sheathing needles or needless systems whenever possible. Dispose of all sharps in an appropriate sharps container.
  • 不要把化学物质扔进下水道. Most chemicals must be disposed of as 危险废物.
  • Compressed gas cylinders must be secured to prevent them from being knocked over. Cylinders must be capped when the regulator is removed or not in use.
  • 每周检查实验室的危险情况.
  • Shield or wrap pressurized or evacuated equipment (dewars and vacuum flasks).

Know Emergency Procedures

  • Know where the nearest emergency eyewash and showers are and how to use them.
  • Know at least two exits from the laboratory area in case of an emergency.
  • In the event of an emergency, pull the nearest "Pull BOX," evacuate the area, and close all doors.

Practice Good Housekeeping and Personal Hygiene

  • 避免直接接触任何化学品.
  • Never smell, inhale or taste laboratory chemicals.
  • Always wash hands and arms with soap and water after removing gloves and before leaving the work area.
  • Never eat, drink, chew gum or tobacco, smoke or apply cosmetics in the laboratory.
  • 不要用手捡碎玻璃. Use a dust pan and brush or another appropriate tool.
  • Remove 个人防护装备 (PPE) such as gloves and lab coats before leaving the lab.
  • Remove gloves before handling common items like phones, instruments, door knobs, etc.
  • 保持所有工作区域干净整洁. Wipe down benches with cleaners or disinfectants regularly.
  • Do not block emergency showers, eye washes, exits or hallways.

Transport Chemicals Safely

  • Use secondary containers such as acid buckets or plastic totes.
  • 将集装箱固定在车上.
  • 穿戴适当的个人防护装备.
  • 限制乘客进入电梯.
  • Use a hand truck with a safety chain when moving compressed gas cylinders.

无人操作

  • Provide for containment of materials in the event of spills or failures.
  • 给所有容器和工艺设备贴上标签.
  • 在实验室门上贴上紧急电话.

Report Dangerous Activities and Situations

  • 报告所有事故，不管多小.
  • Never perform unauthorized work, preparations or experiments.
  • Never engage in horseplay, pranks or other acts of mischief in laboratories.
  • Never remove chemicals from the facility without proper authorization.
  • 向EHS报告危险情况.
  • Report suspicious people or activities in lab areas to 安全及保安.

Laboratory Safety检查

Each lab should conduct regular self-inspections of their areas to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and to familiarize new staff with the location of safety equipment.

EHS正在继续检查校园里所有的实验室. 检查将包括一般安全, 化学品安全, 危险废物, 生物安全和辐射安全.

EHS将使用 UNE实验室检查清单(PDF) 来检查你的实验室.

A Lab Rules Posting provided by EHS is standard in every laboratory on both campuses. 这些帖子可在下面的PDF格式中找到:
