Chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, are almost all potentially hazardous. Fortunately, with sensible and correct precautions, the risks can be minimized if basic safety practices are followed. The responsibility for laboratory safety lies with everyone working in the laboratory. Sensible laboratory conduct does not mean memorizing a list of rules! The true test is the actual conduct in the laboratory and safety rules apply to all laboratory activities. Individual safety is affected by the action of fellow workers in the laboratory. Therefore, it is in everyone’s best interest to follow safety work practices. General Safety Rules for the Undergraduate Laboratories The guidelines below are recommended for working safely in the laboratory. • No work is to be carried out unless a member of staff is present. • Plan your work. Follow instructions. If you do not know how to do the experiment safely, ask the lecturer or demonstrator. • Know the location of all exits for the laboratory and the building. There are two exits in the first year organic lab. • Know the location of the alarm and fire extinguishers and how to operate them. There are two fire extinguishers located at the two sides in the lab. • Know the location and use of safety showers, eye-washers and safety aid boxes. The safety shower and eye washer are located right next to the exit of the Second Year Organic Lab. The fire extinguisher, eye wash and safety shower in the Second Year Organic Laboratory • Know the location of the nearest telephone that can be used during an emergency. • All persons in laboratories (whether or not they are actually doing practical work) must wear safety spectacles or goggles and laboratory coats. You might find them a nuisance to wear, but your eyes are very precious. You are not allowed to wear contact lenses in the laboratory. Hair should be secured so that it does not hang below the neck. Other articles of clothing that may become entangled should also be secured. It is important to wear suitable clothing, and your footwear must incorporate flat heels, slip-resistant soles and uppers fully enclosing the foot. • No food, drink (including drinking water!), cigarettes and cosmetics are allowed to be taken into the laboratory or storage place for chemicals. • Do not smell or taste chemicals. • Know the potential hazards of the materials and equipment with which you will work. The preparation for an experiment involves the study of the respective material safety data sheets for all chemicals used in that experiment. Refer to the chemicals’ Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before usage. • Do not make skin contact with any substances. Use gloves where necessary, always remembering that they are semi-permeable. Gloves typically only provide a short time protection; when you notice the glove to get wet, remove it asap and replace with a new one. This particularly applies for the common single-use protective gloves. • Experiments must be conducted on clean working surfaces; any spillage should be cleaned immediately. A high standard of tidiness should be maintained at all times. Contaminated surfaces and equipment must be cleaned as soon as it is practicable after use. The equipment should then be put away. Do not clutter bench space with unused equipment and bottles of chemicals. • Waste should be disposed off in the appropriate containers. Organic chemicals should be disposed in designated waste bottles. Chemical wastes are segregated into three (3) groups and stored separately; halogenated wastes (examples are chloroform, dichloromethane), non-halogenated wastes (examples are acetone, alcohol, toluene, xylene) and other waste, such as mercury (broken thermometer). • Bags and other personal items should be placed in the lockers provided outside the laboratory and not left along corridors or on benches. • All accidents and dangerous occurrence must be reported immediately to the lecturer in charge or the demonstrator or the laboratory assistant. The first aid box is located inside the preparation room of the laboratory. The accident book is also kept in the preparation room; the laboratory assistant must file out a report for all incidents. • It is important to ensure that hands are washed, and all protective clothing removed before leaving the laboratory. • Do not wear laboratory coats, gloves or other personal protective clothing out of the laboratory and in non-laboratory areas. These clothing may have become contaminated. Additional Guidelines Remember that in a laboratory you have fellow students around you. They do not know what you are doing, but they hope and expect that what you are doing is sensible and safe. Always think carefully about what you are about to do. • Know the lecturer in charge, the demonstrator and the laboratory assistants of the laboratory. • Undergraduates are not allowed to work or even be in any of the teaching laboratories at any time outside of the specified laboratory hours, unless they have explicit permission from the lecturer in charge. This includes times before and after class, and the lunch break. • Students should come to the laboratory on time and be prepared by studying the experiment. Therefore, plan your activities before you come to the laboratory. • Write everything you do, and observations in your notebook so that you can trace your action and make corrections if necessary. Please designate one notebook for this purpose and use it for the whole session / cycle. • Do not use cracked or broken glassware. Check glassware before using it. • Never use open flames, unless instructed by the lecturer in charge. If flames are permitted, plan your experiments so that you never leave your flame unattended. There are other sources of heat such as steam baths and hot plates. • Handle all chemicals with care and read labels before attempting to get them. • Use a spatula to get solid chemicals. Never using your fingers. • Be careful not to contaminate reagents with your spatulas or droppers. Do not take more than needed. If you take too much of a chemical or reagent, give it to a fellow student – but do not return it to the bottle. • Do not wander off with the only bottle of reagent that everyone needs; keep it in its assigned location. • Do not pipette by mouth. Use only mechanical pipetting devices. • Never look directly into the mouth of a flask containing a reaction mixture. • Never point a test tube or reaction flask towards yourself or your neighbour. • When using a separating funnel, vent frequently and remove the stopper immediately upon setting it upright for separation. • Never use a thermometer as a stirrer! If a mercury thermometer breaks, immediately contact the lecturer in charge, the demonstrator or laboratory assistant. • Turn off water, burners or electrical equipment when not in use. • Wash your glassware at the end of the laboratory session. You will have clean and dry glassware ready to be used for the next laboratory class. • Make sure glassware or equipment is put away in the correct locker – your personal locker or the common locker. • Clean your work area and equipment used before leaving the laboratory.
