Basics VThe purchasing of chemicals should happen over the procuration office of the institute (Mrs. Jurofsky)
The waste disposal of chemicals should be carried out following the waste disposal directive of the University of Bonn.
Every one working with chemicals has to inform himself about the waste disposal directive
Waste disposal is no more a generell business of the institute but the business of everybody working with chemicals (support by the Abt. 4.2 or the security representative is available)

Keep calm and act cautiously
When you help somebody else don´t forget your own safety
Protecting people is the first aim
Inform the first aider in case of a accident (Names of the actual first aiders should be announced in every work group)
In case of danger inform affected people and force them to leave the danger area immediately
Hide injured persons (if possible) try to help
Don´t leave injured persons alone till the doctor arrives
Fight the formation of fire with a fire extinguisher or sand

Conclusions
Instructions about specific work methods, working equipment and other risks beyond have to be done within the different work groups at the individual workplace
The workgroup leader has to create the risk assessment of the workplaces
The risk assessment must be on an actual level
The overall responsibility for the occupational safety and health bears the managing director
