A chemical inventory template in Excel is located on the FSHN Safety Forms & Policies website (above).

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available and up-to-date for all chemicals in individual lab groups.

Quarterly and Yearly lab safety survey inspections and Radiation Safety Lab Audit have been performed and completed forms are placed in the LSM or lab safety binder. The FSHN Quarterly Laboratory Inspection Sheet is located on the FSHN Safety Forms & Policies website (above). Here are links to EH&S’s yearly Lab Safety Survey sheet (http://www.ehs.iastate.edu/forms/LabSafetySurvey.pdf) and Radiation Safety Lab Audit form (http://www.ehs.iastate.edu/forms/radaudit.pdf).

Alarms for Ultralow -80°C freezers are tested (and results recorded) every 6 months and batteries (for models with battery back-up) have been replaced as needed.

Laboratory Emergency Action Plan has been completed & is posted in the lab by the exit door. A template for this form is found at http://www.ehs.iastate.edu/forms/LEPWTemplateFI.pdf The above work must be completed by Jan 31 and the completed checklist (and updated chemical inventory) sent to Joe Przybyszewski ([email protected]), 2312 FSB “MacDonald Lab” mail slot.

Alternate Principal-Investigator Policy

updated 8/11/09 The Food Science and Human Nutrition Safety Committee recommends that each principal investigator (PI) in the FSHN department designate an alternate PI to be responsible for the safety of the PI’s laboratory in the PI’s absence. The alternate PI should be a faculty member who would provide guidance to the Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Health & Safety, Iowa Departments of Health and Natural Resources, OSHA and/or the State Fire Marshall in the event of an inspection or accident. Any fines, penalties, or liabilities resulting from noncompliance to the safety guidelines are the responsibility of the PI. Every year and/or before their absence, the PI will review special safety precautions for the lab with the alternate PI using the PI’s Lab-Specific Safety Training form and the FSHN Quarterly Safety Inspection Checklist as guidelines. This training and the designation of the alternate PI will be documented and updated annually in the below form, signed by the PI and alternate PI and copies kept with the safety records in the lab and in the FSHN 2312 FSB office. Before the absence, the PI will notify all lab personnel of the alternate PI’s contact information and ensure that the temporary emergency contact information is posted on the outside of all lab doors designating the alternate PI and the time period of the PI’s absence. For absences due to personal or business travel, the PI will put the alternate PI’s name on the travel authorization form. PIs with animal protocols or labs authorized to use biohazards, bloodborne pathogens and/or radioactivity must designate an alternate PI whose lab has the same authorization.
