Safety Revision Material Science 1250 Understanding Safety Documents 1.Standard Operating Procedure (SOP): 1. Read before using any machine. 2. Provides detailed instructions on safely operating equipment. 2.Safety Data Sheet (SDS): 1. Read before using any chemical. 2. Contains information on the properties of a chemical, including hazards and safe handling. 3.Hazard Analysis: 1. Prepare before starting any experiment or project. 2. Identifies potential hazards and outlines preventive measures. 4.Incident Report: 1. Fill out if any incident, injury, or near miss occurs. 2. Important for documenting accidents and preventing future incidents. Identifying and Responding to Hazards: 1.Potential Hazards: 1. Includes spilled oil, exposed wires, broken equipment. 2. Any situation that can lead to injury or accident must be recognized. 2.Safety Guards: 1. If missing from equipment, do not use the machine and alert the technician. 2. Filling an incident report for a missing safety guard is considered a near miss. 3.Unattended Operations Notice: 1. Required if leaving an experiment running after lab hours. 2. Ensures safety measures are in place when equipment is operating unsupervised. Safe Laboratory Practices: 1.Electrical Safety: 1. Avoid becoming part of an electric circuit. 2. Ensure wires are not energized before working with them. 2.Rotating Tools: 1. Do not wear safety gloves due to entanglement risks. 2. Be aware of the location of the emergency stop button. 3.If You Find Broken Equipment or Unsafe Conditions: 1. Report immediately and fill out the necessary documentation. 2. Take action to prevent harm to yourself and others. Personal and Peer Safety: 1.If You Get Hurt: 1. Complete an incident report without delay. 2.If You Observe Unsafe Work: 1.

Consult with instructors or technicians for guidance. 3. Keep a tidy work area to prevent accidents. Reviewing Safety Measures: Revisit all safety training videos and materials regularly. Discuss any questions or concerns with a safety officer or instructor. Participate in all safety drills and training sessions.  Remember Safety is everyone's responsibility. Always prioritize it in every aspect of your work in the laboratory.
