A Tragic Laboratory Accident
Narration (female voice):
On December 29, 2008, Sheharbano (Sheri) Sangji, age 23, a graduate research assistant at the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) sustained third degree burns over 40% of her body.
She was working with t-butyl lithium, a highly reactive chemical that spontaneously burns when
exposed to air.
The plunger in the syringe that she was using to transfer the chemical dislodged, spraying the
chemical onto her sweater and spontaneously igniting.

Laboratory Safety and the AIChE Code of Ethics
Narration (female voice):
Laboratory safety is included as part of the AIChE Code of Ethics, which states that all AIChE
members must:
1. “Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public and protect the
environment in performance of their professional duties.
2. Formally advise their employers or clients (and consider further disclosure, if warranted)
if they perceive that a consequence of their duties will adversely affect the present or
future health or safety of their colleagues or the public.”
More information about ethics is provided in the SAChE course Process Safety and Ethics – A
Brief Introduction.

Safety Culture – Defined
Narration (female voice):
Safety culture is the most important part of any safety program.
Safety culture is defined as “the common set of values, behaviors, and norms at all levels in a
facility or in the wider organization that affect safety.”
Klein and Vaughen define safety culture as “the normal way things are done at a facility,
company or organization, reflecting expected organizational values, beliefs and behaviors, which
set the priority, commitment and resource levels for safety programs and performance.”
Almost all accidents, either large or small, can be attributed to a failure in safety culture since
safety culture is such an essential and over-reaching part of any safety program.

Laboratory Safety, Personal Safety and Process Safety
Narration (female voice):
Laboratory safety is part of personal safety addressing higher frequency but lower consequence
events.
Process safety addresses the control and prevention of high consequence, low frequency events
(such as fires, explosions and accidental releases of hazardous materials causing significant
damage to chemical plants).
A lab safety accident is almost always localized to the lab in which it occurs due to the small
amount of chemicals and energy involved. A process safety incident in a chemical plant involves
larger amounts of chemicals and energy than those encountered in a laboratory setting. For this
reason, the consequences of process safety incidents in chemical plants are often significantly
higher than the consequences experienced in lab safety accidents. Despite this observation,
there can be high consequence lab safety events as shown in the CSB video earlier in this unit.

Definitions
Narration (male voice):
In this course, we’re going to be frequently using the terms listed here. Click the icon next to
each term to review its definition.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
18
Safety (Slide Layer)
[When “Safety” is clicked…]
Safety is a strategy for accident prevention; however, this term is not very well defined.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
19
Accident (Slide Layer)
[When “Accident” is clicked…]
An accident is an unplanned event or sequence of events that results in an undesirable
consequence, including injury to people, damage to the environment, and damage to
equipment.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
20
Incident (Slide Layer)
[When “Incident” is clicked…]
An incident is an event, or series of events, resulting in one or more undesirable consequences,
such as harm to people, damage to the environment, or asset/business losses. Such events
include fires, explosions, and releases of toxic or otherwise harmful substances. This normally
applies to accidents of much larger scope, such as an explosion in a chemical plant.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
21
Risk (Slide Layer)
[When “Risk” is clicked…]
Risk is a measure of an accident or incident in terms of both the incident likelihood (frequency
or probability) and the magnitude of the loss or injury (consequence).
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
22
Hazard (Slide Layer)
[When “Hazard” is clicked…]
A hazard is an inherent chemical or physical characteristic that has the potential for causing
damage to people, environment or property. Hazards may be constantly present or change with
time.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
23
Hazards
Narration (female voice):
Laboratories contain many hazards. These typically include:
• Chemical hazards, due to the toxic, flammable and reactive properties of chemicals;
• Biological hazards, due to infectious organisms;
• Equipment hazards, due to high temperatures or pressures; and
• Procedural hazards, due to the operation of equipment, such as stopping or starting a
pump at the incorrect time.
• Laboratories can also include physical hazards, due to high or low temperature or
pressure, noise, ionizing radiation, laser beams, and other conditions and equipment.

25
Accidents Due to Loss of Control of Material or Energy
Narration (female voice):
Most accidents are due to the loss of control of material or energy.
• Examples include the following:
• A chemical spilling from an overturned beaker (loss of material control);
• Unexpected reaction of a chemical resulting in gas evolution and rupture of the
container (loss of energy control);
• Sudden disconnection of a hose containing high pressure nitrogen (loss of material
control); and
• Fire in a beaker (loss of energy control).
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
26
Inherently Safer Design
Narration (female voice):
In any laboratory we should always consider inherently safer design. Inherently safer design uses
the elimination or reduction of hazards rather than provide complex safeguards around the
hazards.
There are four strategies to inherently safer design:
1. Minimize – reduce the hazard;
2. Substitute – replace hazardous materials with less hazardous materials;
3. Moderate – use under less hazardous conditions; and
4. Simplify – reduce the complexity of equipment or procedures.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
27
Inherently Safer Design (continued)
Narration (female voice):
Examples of inherently safer design include:
• Substituting a toxic solvent with a less toxic solvent;
• Reducing the temperature or pressure of the apparatus;
• Reducing the quantities of chemicals in the apparatus; and
• Reducing the quantity of chemicals by using a smaller container.

Safeguarding Against Accidents
Narration (female voice):
Hazards do not always result in an accident. However, accidents do require something to
happen – an initiating event – as shown in the diagram.
Preventive safeguards prevent the accident from occurring and mitigative safeguards reduce
the magnitude of the consequences.
An accident requires the failure of all of the preventive safeguards. Failure of any of the
mitigative safeguards increases the magnitude of the consequences.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
32
Safeguards Are Not Perfect
Narration (female voice):
In reality, the safeguards are not perfect, as represented by the holes in the “Swiss cheese”
diagram shown here. An accident requires all the holes in the preventive safeguards to line up.
Holes in any of the mitigative safeguards increase the consequences.

34
Preventive safeguards list (Slide Layer)
[When “Preventive Safeguards” is clicked…]
Examples of preventive safeguards include:
• Computer control versus manual control to identify and correct experimental
excursions;
• Emergency shutoff systems;
• Pressure relief systems;
• Emergency cooling systems;
• Robust design to withstand higher temperatures and pressures; and
• Emergency procedures exist and are understood by all lab workers.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
35
Mitigative safeguards list (Slide Layer)
[When “Mitigative Safeguards” is clicked…]
Examples of mitigative safeguards include:
• Placing the apparatus in a hood for containment;
• Using PPE; and
• Availability of safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and safety showers.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
36
General Concept for Laboratory Safety
Narration (female voice):
The general concept for laboratory safety is to identify the hazards prior to designing and
operating any experiment and then to apply:
• Inherently safer design to eliminate or reduce hazards; and
• Preventive and mitigative safeguards to control the hazards.

SECTION 2: The Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
Narration:
[No narration]
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
38
Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
Narration (female voice):
The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is an international system that the United Nations
created for the unified development of “safety data sheets” (SDS) and a unified label
development for substances and mixtures (the “GHS Label”).
The main purpose behind the GHS is to provide a world-wide system that all countries can use
to identify the hazardous properties of chemicals and to provide unified labeling to facilitate
shipping chemicals between countries.
In 2013, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) adopted the GHS for
classification and labeling of chemicals.
Additional information on GHS can be found at www.un.org and elsewhere on the internet.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
39
GHS Requirements
Narration (female voice):
GHS has three main requirements:
1. Hazard classification;
2. GHS SDSs; and
3. GHS Labels.
[Male voice]
Click each requirement for a brief description.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
40
Hazard classification (Slide Layer)
[When “Hazard classification” is clicked…]
Hazard classification: The standard requires chemical manufacturers and importers to
determine the hazards associated with the chemicals they produce or import. The specific
health and physical hazards of these chemicals must be provided to the consumer.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
41
GHS SDSs (Slide Layer)
[When “GHS SDSs” is clicked…]
GHS Safety Data Sheets: The standard requires SDSs to have 16 specific sections, ensuring
consistency in the presentation of important safety information about a chemical.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
42
GHS Labels (Slide Layer)
[When “GHS Labels” is clicked…]
GHS Labels: Chemical labels must include the name of the chemical as well as a signal word,
pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements that describe the hazards
associated with the chemical.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
43
GHS SDS Sections 1-8
Narration (female voice):
The GHS SDS is divided into sections.
Sections 1 through 8 (listed here) provide general information about the chemical. This includes
its name, hazards, composition, safe handling practices and emergency response measures.
These first eight sections are helpful when information is quickly required for an emergency
situation.
[Male voice]

Narration (female voice):
Sections 12 through 15 contain information related to the chemical’s effect on the environment,
its proper disposal and transport, and additional regulations governing its use.
Sections 12 through 15 are considered “non-mandatory” by OSHA in the U.S. because the
content of these sections is enforced by other federal and state government agencies.
[Male voice]
Read Sections 12 through 15 of the sample SDS before continuing.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
46
GHS Hazard Group Classifications

53
4 – Hazard Statements (Slide Layer)
[When “4 – Hazard Statements” is clicked…]
Hazards statements are phrases that describe the nature of hazardous material and the degree
of the hazard. Hazard statements include “highly flammable liquid and vapor,” “may be fatal if
swallowed and enters airways,” “causes skin irritation,” “causes serious eye irritation,” and
“may cause cancer,” to name a few.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
54
5 – Precautionary Statements/First Aid (Slide Layer)
[When “5 – Precautionary Statements/First Aid” is clicked…]
Precautionary statements and first aid are instructions (and/or pictograms) to prevent or
minimize the effects of exposure to the hazardous product. Examples include special
instructions (from the manufacturer) before use, such as “do not handle until all safety
precautions have been read and understood,” “keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot
surfaces,” “no smoking in the area,” “wear protective gloves/eye protection/face protection,”
and “if swallowed, immediately call a poison center or doctor.”

55
6 – Manufacturer Information (Slide Layer)
[When “6 – Manufacturer Information” is clicked…]
Manufacturer information identifies the manufacture’s company name, address, and telephone
number.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
56
Labeling of Primary Containers
Narration (female voice):
There are two main categories of containers we’re going to introduce: primary containers and
secondary containers.
Primary containers are the bags, barrels, bottles, and cans that are received from the
manufacturer. These containers must have GHS labels. The supplier labels cannot be removed,
altered or defaced. If the label needs to be replaced, then the new label must contain the same
information as the original.
On the next slide, we’ll describe secondary containers.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
57
Labeling of Secondary Containers
Narration (female voice):
Secondary containers are usually smaller than primary containers; they typically include spray
bottles, jugs, and jars. These are containers that hold the material taken from the primary
container. Secondary containers must comply with the GHS label requirements except when the
following criteria are met:
• The material is used within the work shift of the person making the transfer;
• The worker making the transfer is in the work area the entire time during use; and
• The container stays within the work area and in the possession of the worker who filled
the container.
These requirements are so rigorous that labeling of all chemicals at all times is the best
approach.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
58
GHS Label and GHS SDS
Narration (female voice):
The six required elements of a GHS label are also included in a GHS SDS. For example, in this SDS
for fluorine, the six elements are identified as follows:
1. The product name or identifier is “Fluorine Specialty Gas Mixture.”
2. The signal word is “Danger.”
3. The pictograms representing “compressed gas,” “acute toxicity,” “corrosive” and
“oxidizer” are shown.
4. Multiple hazard statements are given on the first two pages of the SDS.
5. Several precautionary statements are given on page 2; these are grouped by
“Prevention,” “Response” and “Storage” categories.
6. The manufacturer information is listed in the first section on page 1 of the SDS.

NFPA Diamond
Narration (female voice):
Another hazard identification method that is commonly used in the U.S. is the NFPA diamond,
shown here. NFPA stands for “National Fire Protection Association,” a non-profit organization
that deals with fire protection.
Each hazard category is assigned a number from 0 to 4, with 4 being the most severe – note that
this numbering system is opposite of the GHS numbering system!
These signs are placed on storage vessels and shipping containers and provide an easy and quick
recognition of the hazards of the chemical.
Copyright ©American Institute of Chemical Engineers 2019. All rights reserved.
67
Job Safety Assessment (JSA) and Laboratory Inspection Form
Narration (female voice):
The GHS and NFPA methods provide information to assist with identifying chemical, equipment
and other hazards and to take appropriate steps to eliminate or control these hazards properly
prior to using chemicals or equipment in the laboratory. There are two common methods to
assist with this (please check with your health and safety department – your organization might
require a different approach):
The Job Safety Assessment (JSA) is a multi-page form that prompts the user to identify typical
hazards and lists personal protective and other safety equipment. It is recommended that this
form be completed and reviewed by committee.
The Laboratory Inspection Form assists in identifying common laboratory hazards and safety
equipment present in the laboratory.
[Male voice]
Click the image of each document if you would like to open a sample for viewing or printing.
Remember, it is essential that the hazards be identified and addressed prior to using any
chemicals in the laboratory.
