Laboratory Safety Assessments OverviewDan Kermoyan, EH&S
Drivers Benefits
Laboratory Safety Assessments
Regulatory visits increasing
Recent events
Granting Agencies
Accreditation
Our observations
Faculty needs help
Compliance and lower fines
Reduce injuries and damages
Increase Research $$
Favorable exposure
Decrease chemical and disposal costs
EH&S as a resource
How do we get there……..?
Lab Categories (LCAT)
Laboratory categories grouped by materials used/stored.
1,618 spaces.
Assigned an assessment frequency.
Lab Categories 1 and 2LCAT 1, (36 month assessment)
Teaching labs with small quantities (<5 gallons, 5 lbs., or 50 ft3) of hazardous substances Autoclave roomsDishwashing roomsFreezer roomsEquipment rooms
LCAT 2, (24 month assessment)
Teaching labs with large quantities (>5 gallons, 5 lbs., or 50 ft3) of hazardous substances Research labs with small quantities (<5 gallons, 5 lbs.) of solvents, acids/bases, chemicalsBSL-1, ABSL-1 labsTissue cultureVivariumsNonhazardous compressed gas storage <500 ft3Laser class 3R or lowerMachine shops, Fabrication labsElectronic labs, Analytical labsUV germicidal lamps, trans- illuminators, cross linkers, hand-held unitsCryogenics
Lab Categories 3 and 4LCAT 3, (18 month assessment)
Research labs with large quantities (>5 gallons, 5 lbs.) of solvents, acids/bases, chemicalsOSHA regulated carcinogensBSL-2, ABSL-2 labs, rDNA, or Blood borne pathogens, human source tissues or cell linesSmall quantity of toxic gas or flammable gas (<lecture size bottle)Nonhazardous compressed gas storage >500 ft3Anesthetic gasesLaser class 3B or 4MRI/NMR suites, Magnetic fieldsControlled substances
LCAT 4, (12 month assessment)
BSL-3, ABSL-3 labsSelect agent labsToxins of biological originChemical of Interest (COI) labsNano-materialsToxic, Flammable, or Pyrophoric gasesToxic ChemicalsRUA labX-Ray labSealed sources, LSC
Lab Safety Assessment Process1) 1-month advanced notice to Department chairs and safety
coordinators.
2) Use Lab Safety Assessment checklist
3) Common areas to focus on before EHS visit: Chemical inventory Label and secure chemicals Training Lab Chemical Hygiene Plan
Lab Safety Assessment Process
Lab Visit appointment with PI or Supervisor.
Nature of the Assessment?oResource oriented.o 2-way dialogue; feedback useful.
Lab Assessment Checklist: http://oregonstate.edu/ehs/
Will receive Assessment report via email.
Lab Assessment: Actions Needed
Follow-up Times
Routine Items – Routine lab safety items.7 or 30 daysNo revisit by EH&S
Special Conditions – Special hazard exists.Less than 7 daysRevisit by EH&S
Immediate Correction Needed – Imminent hazard exists.Immediate correctionRevisit by EH&S
Actions Needed: Special Condition
Actions Needed: Immediate Correction
Lab Safety Assessment Process Completion
PI or Supervisor responds via email on items completed.
EHS updates the LCAT category and next visit date.
Laboratory is ready for compliance sign-off.
Similar approach to Biosafety, Shop, Radiation, Other.
Alternative system for PI or supervisor to respond…..
