Glove Safety Do:
Ensure you use the correct glove for the chemical-consult MSDS
Replace gloves IMMEDIATELY after contamination
Do Not: Re-use gloves Touch common surfaces (door handles) with
gloves Wear gloves or lab coats outside of the lab Watch out for defective gloves (check
expiration date)

Personal Protective Equipment
The last line of defence.PPE use is mandatory.PPE Maintenance & Inspection: Check PPE on a regular basis—send
lab coats for cleaning Throw out PPE when it is
worn/damaged Replace with new ones conforming to
Australian Standards
![Page 6: School of Chemistry, Jan 2014 Safety Regulations In The Chemical Laboratory Bryan McGowan Safety Officer School of Chemistry Room: 252 Ext: 4-4027 Mobile:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cb55503460f949792e5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Building Evacuations If the alarm sounds, safely shutdown all
experiments (gases, heat, reactions that require monitoring).
A floor warden wearing a yellow hard hat will ensure areas are clear and assist with an orderly evacuation (do not wait to be told).
KNOW THE LOCATION OF: Various exit pathways First Aid kits Safety Showers / Eye Wash Stations Spill kits—every lab must have one Fire extinguishers / fire blankets Emergency Assembly Area
![Page 7: School of Chemistry, Jan 2014 Safety Regulations In The Chemical Laboratory Bryan McGowan Safety Officer School of Chemistry Room: 252 Ext: 4-4027 Mobile:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cb55503460f949792e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Emergency Assembly Area
MacFarland Court
![Page 8: School of Chemistry, Jan 2014 Safety Regulations In The Chemical Laboratory Bryan McGowan Safety Officer School of Chemistry Room: 252 Ext: 4-4027 Mobile:](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cb55503460f949792e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Emergency Information Once outside, take direction from the Wardens and proceed
to the assembly point – MacFarland Court (grassy area next to Chemistry West).
Stay out of the building until you are told by the Building Emergency Controller (BEC) that you are allowed to re-enter the building.
If you have an incident in your lab, please inform the Safety Officer ASAP. No incident scene should be cleaned up without permission from the Safety Officer.
If there is a fire and the fire alarm has not sounded, activate the closest red break-glass alarm – this will contact the fire brigade and evacuate the building. Only fight small fires.
Emergency contacts are listed in the Safety Manual and throughout the building.

Material Safety Data SheetsBefore using a chemical for the first time, you must read the
MSDS.
An MSDS contains information you need to safely use, store, and dispose of the chemical and what to do in the event of a spill, leak or exposure.
Australian MSDSs have 16 sections.
Identification: UN number, DG class, Poisons schedule, Hazard Ratings and statements, etc.
Physical data: Flashpoint, auto-ignition temperatures Emergency data: Spills, health effects, first aid Storage and use: Incompatibilities, disposal considerations. MSDSs can be accessed in ChemWatch GoldFFX at:
