Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory.
1. PPE
Eye Protection
Lab Coat
Long Pants
Closed Toed Shoes – no exposed skin around feet
Lab gloves – when required

• Clothing must cover all exposed skin including legs/ankles
• Stockings or leggings do not provide good coverage
• Sandals, flip-flops, Crocs, open-toe and open-top (i.e. ballet flat) shoes and canvas shoes (i.e. Toms) are not appropriate. These are not going to protect your feet if you drop a piece of glass with a liquid chemical reagent in it.
Clothing and Foot Protection
![Page 5: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Be smart about the shoes you elect to wear to lab
This person has on pants and closed toed-shoes but this would not be allowed in lab due to the exposed skin
This person added socks, so this option covers your skin but only offers minimal protection
This option looks better, but imagine chemicals being spilled into the top of these boots
Your best options are sturdy leather footwear that covers the entire top of the foot or a sturdy running shoe.

Use of Gloves
Remove gloves before handling objects such as doorknobs, telephones, pens, computer keyboards, pH meter or other electronic buttons, or phones while in lab. It might be convenient to have one gloved hand and one ungloved hand to do procedures where these kinds of things are used.• Throw away gloves anytime you take them off.• You should expect to use several pairs of gloves in
any given lab period.

Eyewash / Safety ShowerThe eyewash is on the left. Pull the handle and a fountain of water will appear that you can use to bathe your eyes.
The safety shower is on the right. Pull the handle and water will start spraying from the shower head on the ceiling. There’s no drain in the floor – we only do this in emergencies, because a flood of water will have to be cleaned up.

Using the Fume Hoods properly
If this is not saying NORMAL, then the hood is not protecting you. Keeping the sashand sliding panels in proper position keeps thisNORMAL, otherwise the alarm goes off. If the alarm goes off, you need to reposition things to the correct positions, then press the “mute” button to reset the controller.
The sash should never be raised abovethe green “operation” level when youare working in the hood.
This window/bar is called the sash.

• When using a laboratory hood, Check that the airflow is in the normal range on the digital display
• Turn on the hood light• Set the equipment and chemicals back at least 6 inches.• Never lean in and/or put your head in the hood when
you are working. This is worse than doing the experiment with no hood at all.
• It’s a good idea to put liquid reagent containers in trays to catch all spills and drips

Types of Fire Extinguishers
Most of our fire extinguishers are ABC.It contains a dry powder to put out the kinds of fires we might encounter in the chemistry labs where we have class.
This is a special fire extinguisher for combustible metal fires. It is a type D fire extinguisher. You won’t need to use this unless you work in a research lab with combustible metals.
![Page 17: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Student Reaction in a Fire
Although we want you to be informed on the operation of a fire extinguisher, we do not expect you to use it. If a fire is ignited in your area, the proper STUDENT response is to:
1) Notify everyone in the room2) If possible shutdown any reaction in progress by removing
heat/energy source3) Proceed to the nearest exit and pull the nearest fire alarm4) Evacuate the building5) Assemble in front of the library or in the YWCA parking lot
for a positive headcount

Keep your lab area clean.
××××Throw away used
paper towels and used gloves, immediately.
Don’t block the floor in front of the eyewash/shower station.
Don’t leave things in the floor because someone will trip over it.
Don’t leave cords dangling because someone will trip over them.

Centrifuge Safety
![Page 21: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rotor Safety• Do not run rotors above their rated speed• Inspect rotor for imperfections and signs of wear that can
eventually lead to catastrophic failure• Do not drop rotor• Rinse the rotor after every use• Avoid using abrasive brushes for cleaning• If you suspect rotor has been damaged, do not use it• Do not use a rotor that is not compatible with your model
centrifuge• Use tubes and adapters that are rated for use in the rotor being
used
Swinging Bucketrotor
Disposable tubes
Need adaptors
Fixed angle rotor
![Page 22: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Accident involving improper rotor usage
Centrifuges that malfunction can create projectiles out of the rotor shards. If the centrifuge starts to make horrible noises, cut the power and leave the room
![Page 23: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Loading the Centrifuge• Be certain that tubes are balanced with a partner• Don’t forget to include caps when weighing the tubes
for balance• Secure the rotor on the spindle by tightening all knobs
on the lid• Tug gently on the rotor to make sure it is secured to
the spindle• Do not overfill bottles (3/4 full max)
Both knobs are tightened in somemodels to secure rotor to the spindle
Counterbalance yourlabeled sample
![Page 24: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Unloading Centrifuge• Take precautions if biohazards or other hazardous
material is used as aerosols can form during vacuum cycles
• Clean the chamber from condensation and any spills• Never try to open the centrifuge door before the
rotor is done spinning• Never reach a hand or anything else into the
chamber when rotor is spinning• Note: it is sometimes difficult to look at a spinning
rotor and determine if it is spinning
![Page 25: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Centrifuge Safety Overview
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_0phA034n0
Note: A modern centrifuge will have low tolerance for mismatched tubes and will shut itself off if tubes are not balanced
Also, most modern centrifuges will not allow the door to unlock while the rotor is still in motion.

Autoclave Safety
![Page 27: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What is an Autoclave?
An autoclave is a specialized piece of equipment designed to deliver heat under pressure to a chamber, with the goal of decontaminating or sterilizing the contents of the chamber.
![Page 28: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Personal Protective Equipment
• Autoclaves utilize steam, heat and pressure and therefore the risk of personal injury through scalding, burns and exploding glassware is great.
• Personal protective equipment is absolutely required.1) Safety Glasses 2) Lab Coat3) Long pants4) Closed Shoes5) Long thermal gloves6) Face shield recommended
![Page 29: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What can be autoclaved?
• Cultures and stocks of infectious material• Culture dishes• Tips, pipettes, gloves, paper towels, aluminum foil• Centrifuge bottles• Glassware -- all caps must be loosened• Media and other aqueous solutions• Contaminated solid items
![Page 30: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What CANNOT be autoclaved?
• Solvents or volatiles• Chlorinated compounds (HCl, bleach)• Corrosives• Radioactive material • Some plastics
![Page 31: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cycle Differences
• Fluids must be autoclaved under a “liquid” setting• Items such as pipette tips, test tubes, and
centrifuge bottles are run under “dry” or “gravity” setting
• The difference in settings is how the cycle is vented
• Liquids must depressurize slowly and dry cycles conclude with a vacuum step to draw off condensation
![Page 32: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Loading and Unloading the Autoclave• All screw caps must be loosened to
prevent pressure changes in the glassware that can cause the container to burst
• All items should be placed in an autoclave tray to prevent scald burns in the event of a spill
• Return autoclave trays promptly so that other users do not skip using a tray because they can’t find one
• Don’t skip using a tray• Do not remove liquid that is still
boiling• If possible, allow glassware to cool
before removing
Loosen cap by several threads
![Page 33: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Door Safety
• Never try to open a door that is under pressure
• Never try to speed up the venting process by tampering with the door, by turning on and off the machine, etc. Venting takes time.
• Know where the pressure gauges are for the instrument you are using
• If possible, vent door slowly
![Page 34: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Autoclaving Waste
• Contaminated pipette tips and solid waste should be sterilized prior to disposal
• Collect waste in a special autoclave-safe biohazards bag
• Place bag in secondary container• Vent the bag by opening• Do not overfill bag• After removal place entire bag in a new trash
bag so that “biohazard” signs are no longer showing
• Sterilized waste can go into the normal trash• Autoclave tape can be used to verify heat
delivery but it does not guarantee proper sterilization
This bag is too full
![Page 35: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Container Choice• Pyrex glass, metal, polypropylene (PP) plastic
and polycarbonate (PC) plastic are best choices
• Polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and high density polyethylene (HDPE) will often melt and make a mess
![Page 36: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Autoclaving Tips
• Add a 2 cm depth of water to trays with glassware; the water helps eliminate air pockets between the tray and the glass and helps prevent glass from breaking
• Do not fill liquid past 75% volume• Separate items to increase steam penetration• Increase cycle time for large volumes of liquid• Temperature must be maintained at 121°C for
at least 30 minutes for liquid loads
![Page 37: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Maintenance
• Report any irregularities to your supervisor• Do not operate if there is a steam outage• Failed runs should be reported and logged
![Page 38: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Other Biochemistry Safety Concerns
![Page 39: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Toxic and Health Hazardous Chemicals• Categories:– Irritants– Sensitizers– Corrosives– Carcinogens– Target Organ Effects– Reproductive Health Toxins– Acute Toxins– Physical Health Hazards
• Common routes of exposure in the lab are inhalation and skin absorption, while ingestion is less common.
Carcinogens, reproductive toxins, target organ damage
Acute toxicity, fatality

GHS Symbols
![Page 41: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Biological Hazards
• Biological hazards are potential sources of infectious agents that could be harmful to human health.– Bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral, and prion agents.– Sources may include animals, tissues, cells, blood, and
nucleic acid samples, including recombinant DNA.
![Page 42: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
High Voltage Techniques• DNA and protein gel electrophoresis combine high
voltage with the use of aqueous solutions– Take precautions to avoid electrocution.– Modern gel boxes have electrodes positioned on the lids to
drastically reduce the risk of electrocution.– Always secure the gel box lid before turning on the voltage.
Turn off the voltage before removing the lid to a gel box.– Match the red and black electrodes to the corresponding red
and black outlets on the power supply.
![Page 43: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Keep the -80°
freezer closed!
Ultracold (-80°C) Freezer Use
• Many biological samples and chemicals need to be preserved at temperatures below room temperature– Always consult the label: 4°C (refrigerator), -20°C (conventional
freezer), -80°C (ultracold freezer), -196°C (liquid nitrogen)– Cold storage can slow cell death rate, preserve enzyme activity,
inhibit contaminating bacterial growth, and prevent degradation.
– Use insulated gloves to handle ultracold materials.– Handle glass dewars with caution – danger of
exploding glass if they are knocked over and broken.
![Page 44: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Liquid Nitrogen Safety• Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is commonly used to
rapidly freeze proteins and bacteria• LN2 rapidly evaporates and can displace air
in enclosed spaces causing suffocation• LN2 can cause death of human tissue from
extreme cold• Minor contact can cause “burns”• Evacuated glass dewars can sometimes burst
unexpectedly• LN2 can condense liquid oxygen
![Page 45: First Year Experience Research Lab Safety. Personal Protective Equipment: What must be worn when you work in the laboratory. 2 1. PPE Eye Protection Lab](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649c885503460f94941094/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Liquid Nitrogen DON’T’s
• DON’T use in confined space• DON’T freeze items in centrifuge tubes with snap caps• DON’T transport LN2 in a closed automobile • DON’T transport LN2 in a passenger elevator• DON’T allow a storage dewar to tip over• DON’T leave cold fingers on a vacuum line in LN2
overnight• DON’T use without PPE!
NO!
