Study Notes
Types of Hazards and Fire Extinguishers
- Class A fires involve ordinary combustibles such as cloth, paper, plastics, and wood.
- Fire extinguishing methods for Class A include water, dry chemical, and loaded ______ types.
- Safety in clinical laboratories is crucial for quality management.
Laboratory Safety Protocols
- Personnel should experience a secure environment emphasizing ergonomics and safety protocols.
- Proper facilities are essential for avoiding occupational hazards in laboratories.
Hazardous Waste
- Hazardous waste poses significant threats to human health or the environment, requiring special handling and processing.
- Hazardous materials must be managed properly to minimize risks associated with their disposal.
Fume Hoods and Ventilation
- Fume hoods are critical for protecting laboratory personnel from inhaling hazardous and toxic substances.
- Common poisonous vapors include chloroform, methanol, carbon tetrachloride, bromide, ammonia, and formaldehyde.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
- Safety data sheets contain essential information, including manufacturer details, chemical properties, health hazards, and handling precautions.
- SDS should be readily accessible to all laboratory personnel for quick reference.
Chemical Compatibility
- Isopropanol and heptane are considered incompatible chemicals.
- Acids like acetic and sulfuric acids have specific incompatibilities, which must be respected to ensure safety.
- Oxidizing agents such as halogens and nitric acid should be stored separately from incompatible compounds like carbon dioxide and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- For PPE to be effective, it must prevent penetration by blood and body fluids.
- Maintaining the integrity of PPE is vital in managing exposure risks in laboratory settings.
