The report should be in narrative form, even though this is not an English course, correct language, spelling and grammar are important. 2. Distinguish between what is safe and what is bad laboratory practice. 3. If you see something good, mention it. 4. If you see the unsafe things, describe the risk. 5. There are five parts to describe. signage, waste, chemical storage, chemical labeling, personal protective equipment, proper procedures. 6. Overall experimental inspection are good. The “LabSafety_new_inspection_2010-20111″ and some pictures of chemicals are uploaded please check.Chemistry and Biochemistry Lab Safety inspectionDate:__________________Lab bldg/room#________________ Lab owner___________________Signage1. Door safety signs updated2. Fire extinguishers unencumbered3. Safety showers & eye washes clear4. Lab chemical inventory on hand or available on computer5. Emergency instructions postedWaste6. chemical waste properly labeled7. Plastic buckets, not glass bottles used for solvent waste8. chemical wastes properly segregated by compatibility9. Waste containers properly closed (solid waste included)10. No chemical waste in glass waste11. No chemicals or samples in trash12. No sharps (needles, razors) in trashChemical storage13. Chemicals segregated according to compatibility14. Nitric acid stored in separate secondary containment15. Oxidizers and peroxides stored in separate secondary containment.16. Reducing agents (eg. metal hydrides) stored properly 17. Flammable solvents in flammable storage 18. Flammable or explosion proof refrigerator/freezer used for flammables.19. Base baths labeled and in secondary containment 20. No chemicals stored in sink.21. Chemicals (particularly flammable ones) not stored in hoods or on benchesChemical Labeling22. All reagents labeled in original bottles or properly labeled in temporarycontainers-recommend to lab workers to date bottles when purchased and opened.23. Samples labeled with chemical or sample name, researchers initials, lab notebooknumber and date.24. Peroxide forming solvents dated when purchased and opened.Personal Protective Equipment25. Goggles in use with chemicals in lab with hazards26. Gloves & lab coats being wore with chemicals27. Extra goggles available Proper Procedures28. Chemical operations with hazardous solvents or powders in hoods or glovebox29. Hoods kept closed to recommended sash level30. Reactions labeled and attended.31. Work space uncluttered and clean32. No food (including gum) or drink in labs (except at designated desk areas) 33. No chemicals on desks or eating areas34. Gloves and lab coats removed before leaving labs35. Gas cylinders securely attached to lab benches or walls.36. Appropriate safety measures used with highly hazardous chemicals and gases.37. Cryogloves and goggles (or splash shield) used with cryogens38. Syringes and needles put away (preferably in lockable drawer)39. Balances clean (no brush)40. Electrical wiring to instruments un-frayed41. No nichrome wire heated oil baths42. No tripping hazards with equipment or solvents stored in walkways (28 ” clearpath)Use floor plan to map identified problems by number to facilitate inspection andcorrection of deficiencies.Overall Comments on lab:
