This document outlines safety procedures for chemistry laboratory work. It includes identifying chemicals and hazards, required controls like engineering and personal protective equipment, equipment checks, special handling and storage, emergency procedures, authorizations needed, and waste management. Potentially hazardous situations are addressed, such as chemical spills. Procedures for particularly hazardous substances involve additional containment and approval. Work is specified as either allowed alone and after hours, or requiring attendance.

CWU Chemistry Laboratory Specific Standard Operating Procedure

SOP for: (check one) Process Hazardous Chemical Hazard Class of Chemicals
Name of Procedure:
Applies to Lab (name): SCI Room #:
Prepared By: Date: Revision:

Process Identification and Hazard Description:


Identify the chemicals, process or equipment involved. If there is any question as to the chemicals produced in the
process, you should consider identifying the stock chemicals, intermediates, final compounds and wastes involved, and
such factors as use of catalysts, inert compounds, heat, cold, and varied operating pressures which are involved in the
process

Controls:
List required methods to control potential exposures, including:

1) Use of engineering controls. Engineering controls provide a permanent means of protection and are preferred
over other types of controls. Some examples of engineering controls are working in an area with good
ventilation (e.g., ducted exhaust from equipment, fume hoods or glove boxes), storing particularly hazardous
chemicals in locked cabinets, and using built-in barriers to restrict access to the area or to protect from
potentially explosive situations.
2) Use of administrative controls, i.e., specific safe practices such as keeping the fume hood sash as low as
possible, storing chemicals with secondary containment, substituting pre-formulated liquids instead of powders
to be weighed and prepared, hygiene practices such as hand washing, and procedures for removal and disposal
of contaminated PPE.
3) Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coats, what extremities need coverage, etc.,
which is the least preferred method of protection if alternatives are available. However, when PPE is required,
the PPE must be specified completely, such as the type of glove to be used and whether it is necessary for the
entire process or at certain steps.

Equipment checks:
Describe ways to verify that the fume hood and other control system(s) are operating correctly, before using hazardous
chemicals

Special Handling and Storage Requirements:

Potentially Hazardous Situations:


Provide guidance for handling spills and identifying if a spill is causing a hazardous situation. For example, laboratory
personnel may be able to safely handle a spill of a liter of dilute acid anywhere in the laboratory, but may need to
evacuate if 100 milliliters of a toxic chemical is spilled outside a fume hood. This also provides guidance when
purchasing a chemical, as to the maximum size of container.

Particularly Hazardous Substances


Provide additional details if “particularly hazardous substances” (highly toxic or dangerous chemicals, carcinogens,
reproductive toxicants or select toxins) are used. These additional details should address using specific containment
device(s) such as fume hoods or glove boxes, providing authorizations for using the particularly hazardous
substance(s), describing additional procedures for decontamination and safely handling contaminated waste materials,
and establishing a designated area for the procedure.

Waste Management:
Identify safe disposal methods for routinely generated wastes. This includes describing procedures to neutralize or treat
wastes to make handling safer or to reduce the amount of hazardous waste.

CWU Chemistry Laboratory Specific Standard Operating Procedure

Work may be performed safely while alone in the laboratory? Yes No

Procedure may be performed after normal working hours (M-F, 8-5)? Yes No

Procedure may be left unattended? Yes No

Authorizations: (Describe any requirements for obtaining authorization before being allowed to perform the procedure,
operation or activity. IE: Students/ worker must have training documented before performing a certain procedure for the
first time. These are required authorizations before a person can independently perform a processes using particularly
hazardous substances.)
