26 Presentation contents General rules Procedures Chemicals Waste management Find the errors? 26 26
27 Procedures How to prevent cuts? Do not attempt to catch a falling object Collect broken glass with a brush and a dust pan, then throw all this away into a «Glass Fisherbrand» bin. Also discard glassware that is either cracked or has a broken tip into that bin
28 Procedures The use of burners Gas pipe must be adequate, in good condition and must be inserted deeply Light up quickly at the base of the burner flame tip Flame must be adjusted in 2 ways, i.e. the gas flow rate and the air inlet opening Remove any flammable object around and over the burner Hot plate may be very hot, be careful Caution! The hottest part of the flame is the tip of the blue cone 28 28
29 Procedures Needle handling Never let a tip exposed to open air Do not bend Discard into BIORISQUES bins NEVER IN A PLASTIC THRASH BAG 29 29
30 Procedures What to do in the event that you prick yourself? Make the prick bleed a little (only a few drops) Wash with water and soft soap (do not brush or use) Rinse with water Report all pricking events to the person in charge for your sector Never put back the inner needle cap back on the needle tip - NEVER AND UNDER NO CONSIDERATION(S) 30 30
31 Procedures Pipette handling Never PIPET with one s mouth Never point a pipette towards yourself or somebody else To insert a pipette teat, apply pressure near the teat-pipette junction 31 31
32 Procedures Rules for fume hood utilization Mainly used for working with aerosols and chemical vapors Keep only the essential materials inside the hood Set up all materials well inside the hood Keep the sash door closed as much as possible (shoulder level) in front of you (as a protective screen) Work at 15 cm from the edge; do not insert your head inside Close the sash door completely after use Specially labeled hoods: For radioisotopes For other specific uses 32 32
33 Procedures Explosion inside a fume hood 33 33
34 Procedures Ventilation or odor problem with the hood? Is the hood ventilation functional? (Normal flow rate: 100 cfm or 60 cfm at rest) Is the sash door fully closed? Are drains dry? (Circulate water regularly) 34 34
35 35 35
36 Presentation contents General rules Procedures Chemicals Waste management Find the errors? 36 36
37 Chemicals Chemicals Do you know how to work with chemicals? 37 37
38 Chemicals Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS/SIMDUT in French) Note the WHMIS/SIMDUT pictograms on the labels Material Safety Data Sheets See: CSST website Scientific literature («The Merck Index», an essential classic) Other information available on the chemicals companies websites WHMIS/SIMDUT Training (by Mario Boucher) A single online training is required, but knowledge should be refreshed ideally every 3 to 5 yrs or when the person feels a need for it 38 38
39 Chemicals Compound Label and Datasheet (MSDS) Label : 1. Product identification 2. Name of the distributing company 3. Reference to the MSDS 4. Hazard pictograms 5. Fire or explosion risks 6. Preventives measures 7. First AID Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) : Physicochemical properties E.g. melting and boiling points, vapor pressure, etc. Reactivity Toxicological properties Cancerogenicity, mutagenicity, etc
40 Chemicals Ethidium Bromide Known carcinogen UV inspection after cleaning Circumscribe the potentially contaminated area To eliminate its use in CRCHU de Québec and to replace it with a non-toxic substitute 40 40
41 Chemicals Ethidium Bromide (circumscribed area) Use in circumscribed area, red tape and white Clearly identified waste 41 41
42 Chemicals Secure cylinders at the top 2/3 with a chain Compressed gas Move cylinders using handcarts always with the valve caps on Never roll or pull gas cylinders Never let the cylinders fall on the floor or rattle against each other Store, handle and use only if fastened vertically Put valve caps back onto the cylinder valves when not in use (whether tanks are full or empty) Carefully inspect all connections for leaks (use the bubble test) Handle empty cylinders in a similar fashion Sort out and then label empty and full (or not empty) cylinders Use the appropriate regulator for each gas. No teflon or adapter
43 Chemicals Liquid N 2 transport Using a large-wheeled trolley, through the basement corridors and transporting only one container at a time At all times and for all container sizes, never circulate using stairs Use elevators identified to be suitable for that purpose 43 43
44 Chemicals Chemicals storage As a function of each product, the appropriate storage protocol must be used : Sort out acids and bases Organic solvents or volatiles into ventilated yellow cabinets Products that go under fume hoods Solid chemicals into closed cabinets Very toxic chemicals must be stored in a locked cabinet, Highly reactive compounds: far from water and heat sources 44 44
45 Chemicals Chemicals storage (ct d) No «high-rise» storage of products to places : maximal height at eye level Check WHMIS/SIMDUT datasheets for incompatibilities between reagents Improper classication, dirtiness, spills, presence of incongruous objects, etc. Use adequate and well-fitting caps (do not hold bottles by the lid) Flammable liquid storage vaults 45 45
46 Chemicals Transport of chemicals using an elevator Use a dedicated elevator or lift, if available A dedicated container or trolley must be used Lab coat must be worn It is forbidden to share an elevator with a person transporting hazardous materials Ex.: CHUL Block R Elevator #13; Block T Goods lift (#16) 46 46

50 Waste management How to dispose of an empty bottle? Unscrew it and let the solvent residue evaporate in the fume hood Rinse with tap water Put in a box to be identified as «Glass bottle(s)» For broken glass, use the Fisher «Glass» bin instead 50 50
51 Waste management Biological wastes Solid biological wastes, syringes and needles in containers and appropriate bags (to be incinerated) Liquid biological wastes Liquid biological wastes and hazardous solids, into special containers to be heated or incinerated Management by a person from CHU de Québec Housekeeping Services Always consider human or animal tissues as potentially infectious 51 51
