3 This information is a guide to help you understand the risk and hazards associated with working in the laboratories and to outline your responsibilities. You can review this information at any time by following the link on the GSBME WHS page Inductions In Summary Employees and Students are responsible for following the WHS procedures and ensuring that their conduct does not endanger themselves, others or the environment. Supervisors are responsible for implementing WHS within their area of responsibility and taking steps to ensure that identified hazards are eliminated as far as reasonably practicable, or controlled using the hierarchy of risk controls. Further information can be found in the UNSW OHS Workplace Health and Safety Policy 3
4 1) All personnel working in the Level 4 and Lower ground GSBME Laboratories (including visiting or guest workers) must read and understand these regulations. 2) Personnel working in the GSBME Laboratories must be registered. Please see the Laboratory Manager for details. 3) All work of a non-clerical nature requires an safe working procedure and risk assessment before the work commences. Visitors are not exempt from this requirement. 4) Personnel must be appropriately trained to conduct certain activities or operate equipment and current licences must be held where applicable. 5) Safety and monitoring equipment must be used in accordance with safe working procedures and Risk management form. 6) Work outside normal hours (8am to 6pm Mon Fri) must be approved. 7) Long hair must be tied back and dangling clothing, ornaments and ear phone cords are not permitted 8) Promptly report all accidents and/or hazards 9) No smoking is allowed anywhere on UNSW Campus 10) No food or drink is to be consumed within the laboratory complex. 11) Personnel must not be affected by drugs or alcohol or certain medication in the labs 4

12 Mandatory green lab training to comply with pollution laws Car pooling Recycling Resource reduction Campus Sustainability All your green needs 12
13 School specific information and resources Look in the research section of the home page and GSBME Local WHS 13
14 This is your link to the local school resources GSBME WHS database Stores all the safe working procedure and risk management forms. Equipment database and WHS committee information Chemical database- list of the chemicals in the school Chemical Labelling guideline and template Links to local forms purchase form, Workstation ID cards Equipment ID tags Cold Room Box labels Local Training Sharps, autoclave, PC2 14
15 Workstation ID forms are used to identify your experimental setup and equipment in use. Cool room box label are used to readily identify your cold room items and their hazards. Research groups may share boxes 15
16 Purchase form must be authorised by a supervisor who has WHS oversight and financial delegation. Send all associated quotes or information with the completed form to biomedpurchasing@unsw.edu.au The hazards and risks associated with goods and services must be controlled BEFORE entering the workplace. The purchase of any chemicals or equipment requires careful thought. Return all paperwork to admin and clearly indicate any back orders or discrepancies. 16
17 These are some of the issues to consider when buying goods and services. Please consult with school staff about your purchasing Chemicals Equipment Services Hazardous substance Meets Australian standards for Approved contractor OHS design Dangerous goods Electrical compatibility inductions Carcinogenic Hazard control eg dust noise Safe working methods heat Quarantine Location, footprint Licences Addictive Drug/explosive precursor MSDS Where does it need to be stored/used by dates Quantity Quality Imported/delivery time PPE Required Will affect the work around it eg electrical noise, vibration, Environmental efficiency Disposal, recycling, decontamination, radiation source Operational costs training manuals Tech support Installation requirements Fume hood capacity Asset (over $5000) Equipment compatibility eg solvents and plastics, sparks Registered Transport and installation heavy, too big for the lift, fit through the door Freight costs, customs Facilities (FM) approval Warrantees UNSW purchasing guidelines with quotes, conflicts of interest, purchasing terms 17
18 Key things to remember Check there is not an existing document before creating a new one Take care with names and key words Check with your supervisor BEFORE you send an approval request If you find an error in the information report it 18
19 Always check with the custodian for training 19
20 Everything that you do should be covered by an authorized Safe Working Procedure and /or a Risk Assessment (now call Risk Management Form) This is to ensure you know the risk and hazards associated with your work /area and how to control them Hazard-something that can hurt you Risk the likely hood and consequences of the hazard hurting you Control how to stop it hurting you and others You must ensure you are covered before you start work. Talk to your supervisor 20
21 How do we control the hazards and minimise the risk of injury? Hierarchy of risk controls outlines the process of controlling hazards and minimising risks in the workplace Training this induction, general UNSW training hazard specific training, equipment competencies all decrease the risk of injury Procedures- Safe working procedures are the detail step by step description of a process ( experiment protocol, operation instructions, maintenance guides) that includes the action you need to take to control hazards and minimise risk. 21
22 Always use the latest version of the forms from the UNSW Health & Safety web site HS329 Risk Management Procedure HS017-1 Guide to Completing Risk Management Form HS017 Risk Management Form HS304 Hazard and Risk Register Procedure HS027 Guide to writing Safe Work Procedure HS026 Safe Work Procedure Form 22
23 You must be trained in SWP and RA s, equipment use, research procedures. The high the risk the more training is required. School specific training programs are available for: Autoclave use Sharps (needles, scalpel blades, box cutters) Human blood work Lasers Other high hazard areas Never do these activities without training. 23
24 Sharp injuries that have occurred in GSBME Stabs, jabs, punctures, cuts, severed nerves, infections, needlestick injuries, many many near missed. All preventable. DO NOT use sharps unless you have been trained Always follow the correct procedure. Ergonomic injuries, occupational over use, repetitive strain and manual handling are very very debilitating and can lead to a life long injury. Always set up your work station correctly Never ignore symptoms of discomfort or persistent pain in muscles, tendons and other soft tissues Read the UNSW information Chemicals spills When in doubt,get out. More details about chemicals to follow 24
25 F25 Samuels Building Level 4 and Lower Ground floor LG10 This training only give you general lab access You Must have a approved SWP/RA to undertake any activity in the lab unless you are in the company of an authorized person There are restricted areas that may have legislative training requirements e.g. quarantine restrictions DO NOT enter these areas. Restricted Access Areas- specific training required Rm413-22a ARF AQIS restrictions Rm408 -Biohazards Rm 408a two Photon microscope (via BMIF) Rm 404 PC2 cell culture Lower Ground10 a, b, c, d Lower Ground11, a, b Grey and Clean room 25
26 Biomedical Engineering is a very diverse field and has a wide range of chemical, biological and physical hazards. We also have people who may have done very little experience in areas such as chemistry or biology. There is a risk of assumed knowledge. You must ensure your supervisor understands your background and experience. If you are not confident in any area please tell your supervisor or lab staff. These hazards are found in most GSBME labs Hazardous and dangerous chemicals Electrical hazards Biological genetic, biohazard and quarantine restricted Manual handling and Ergonomics (compulsory training) Mechanical Crush Pinch point Moving parts Thermal Compressed gases asphyxiant. There are alarms installed. Never enter the affected room. More information in the hazard and risk register, door signs, SWP s, area supervisors 26
27 Each lab has an area supervisor and a hazard door sign. The sign tells you what hazards are present and the minimum precautions required. Signs also contain emergency numbers and first aid, area supervisor contacts 27
28 High Hazard areas Dangerous and hazardous chemicals Biological Hazards Zoonosis, allergens, quarantine risks, genetic manipulated organisms, pathogen risks, biosecurity issues, infection, biohazards... Mechanical risks crush injuries, compressed gases Manual handling, ergonomic risks... Radiation Lasers, UV light And more 28
29 This training does not give you access to the labs. You must complete an addition induction for LG access Please contact the Area Supervisor (Wenqi Huang ) who will assess your training requirements. The lower ground labs have a furnace room, three laser rooms and two clean room areas. All these areas require a separate induction before entry. The main lab LG10 has electrically sensitive equipment. You must be made aware of the working requirements in these areas before you can enter these labs. 29
30 All chemicals held in GSBME must be logged into and out of the chemical register database by lab staff. Chemicals must be stored and labeled correctly and have a Safety Data Sheet (SDS or MSDS) As staff, if you are working in an area with chemicals you must attend hazardous substances training even if you are not using in them. You need to know about the hazards around you. Hazardous substances for students are covered in On-Line Laboratory Safety Awareness You must know the risks and hazards associated with your chemicals before you buy or use them. 30
31 Setting up and using proper labels can take time but correct labelling is vital and a legal requirements 31
32 Dangerous and hazardous substance must be put in specific storage locations Designated storage areas Acids Alkali s Toxic/poisons Flammable Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are outside room 436 and available through chemalert. An SDS is vital for writing SWP S and RA s More information is available on the UNSW WHS Web site Compressed gases are classed as hazardous chemicals and specific training is required for use and handling. 32
33 All research or teaching involving microbiological organisms, diagnostic samples, human and animal tissues, blood or bodily fluids, insects and general biological hazards must follow the requirements of the UNSW HS323 Biosafety Procedure Any biological material brought into the school must be assessed and authorised prior to arrival and added to the biohazard register. Regulator process to consider are Australian standards Gene Technology (OGTR) Quarantine (AQIS) Biosecurity (SSBA) Ethics and clinical practice (DoHA) 33
34 All equipment has a custodian. You must ensure you have the appropriate training and SWP before using all equipment Electrical equipment should be inspected prior to use to ensure there is no damaged, loose or otherwise compromised leads or connections. Check the electrical testing tag to ensure it is within the test date Notify the custodian or lab management if equipment is faulty or requires attention. Tag out of use immediately. GSBME has a database of equipment which contains user and operational information. Do not attempt to repair or alter equipment without the appropriate controls eg manual, qualifications, expertise, danger lockout tags. 34
35 Correct disposal of waste essential. The GSBME OHS Website has a guide to waste management. Types of waste Domestic waste Paper /cardboard Non hazardous lab waste Chemicals Biohazard waste Quarantine OGTR-genetically modified E-waste for equipment, recyclables Don t know? ASK. It must be a part of every SWP. What do to do with a full bin? Domestic bins emptied by the cleaners General lab waste -tie up loosely with string, fill in the waste label details, place in the yellow bins in the cool room 405 Cell culture bins May require heat treatment (autoclaving), Double bag, fill in the hazardous waste label and place in the yellow bins in the cool room. Liquid chemical containers alert lab staff, disposal via the facilities contractor DO NOT overfill the bins DO NOT ignore overfull bins 35
36 Level 4 labs require lab coats, covered shoes and eye protection at all times. Lab coats are provided. There is a laundry. Do not take your personal lab coat home unless washed. Certain areas have specific gowns There are different types of eye protection. You must know which is required for your work and ensure it is documented. Safety glasses will be provided. People with corrective glasses are encouraged to investing in prescription safety glasses. Safety goggles/face shields maybe required with splash or vapour risks. Covered Shoes are required at all times in the labs. No skin should be visible. Additional PPE may be required by your SWP and RA. 36
37 There are many different types of gloves You must selected the appropriate glove for the task. Glove type must be specified in the SWP/RA Guides such as the Ansell glove selection guide can assist in determining the correct glove. Consider factors such as Chemical resistance Thermal Cut resistant Sterile Latex/ nitrile Allergies Concentration and length of exposure 37
38 Normal work hours are 8am until 6pm Monday to Friday. Undergrads are not permitted in the labs after hours Very specific requirements must be met before you can work after hours. You must sign into the afterhours book (records must be retained for 5 years) Low risk office Permitted after hours Medium risk High risk Very High risk Authorisation required. SWP need specific after hours provisions. Buddy Monitoring system Authorisation required. Specific SWP.Must not be done alone Risks assessed using the UNSW Risk rating procedure Not permitted 38
39 Buddy system should be used for any work after hours What should a monitor do if you do not respond to your check in and they can t contact you? Call security on or and report your location (e.g. LG Samuels building room LG10a ). If security don t call back report this back to the main security phone line. If you can t get a response after an hour from security call the police and report the problem with as much detail as possible For more details there is a school after hours SWP and the UNSW working after hours procedure 39
40 If you have no training or are uncertain what to do follow The ARRRRH- run away system ARRRH Alert people in the area and experienced staff members RUN AWAY- Keep yourself safe. Evacuate the immediate area, seek first aid if required NO ONE AROUND!! Call Security First AID Bystanders find nearest first aid officer and/or call security for serious medical help Move away from the hazard Chemical spills- wash off the chemical, copious water immediately, remove contaminated clothing Burns copious water immediately. Do not remove clothing. Any risk to life at all- break emergency glass next to red wall phone REPORT ALL EMERGENCIES to your supervisor or lab staff and complete an incident report 40
41 Only if you are completely confident that you know how to respond then: Chemical spills- Evacuate the area. Grab the spill kit and close the door and read the emergency spill kit instructions and assess the situation away from the spill. Seek more information eg SDS, SWP, RA,s Fire Do not attempt to put the fire out unless the fire is tiny (smaller than a handful) and you are completely confident there are no additional hazards. Select the right fire extinguisher and use until empty. Call security and inform them of the incident Monitor the situation until security arrive and inform them immediately if situation changes If fire is not immediately contained or people are affected by fumes immediately evacuate the area, close doors behind you and break emergency glass next to red phone For any emergency with an ongoing risk to life at all- break emergency glass next to red wall phone REPORT ALL EMERGENCIES to your supervisor or lab staff and complete an incident report 41
42 List to announcements and follow instructions Alert tone (Beep Beep) prepare to leave Shut down equipment, collect belongings, shut doors and windows. DO Not leave unless in immediate danger Evacuation tone (whoop whoop) -leave immediately Do not collect belongings Security ext Each room should have an emergency procedures chart near the door that outlines the response to different types of emergencies. Fire Medical Bomb threat Internal emergency e.g. explosion, riot, power failure Personal threat External emergency e.g. natural disasters Evacuations 42
