Laboratory chemical safety management solutions
1. Current status of global chemical quantities
Most of the chemicals in the laboratory have a certain degree of toxicity and danger. With the development of the economy, the content of laboratory projects gradually increases. Chemicals are often used in scientific research and laboratories, and even easy to make Poisonous and explosive chemicals, the safety management of flammable, explosive, corrosive, and toxic chemicals involved in the laboratory is an important part.
2. Why should we attach importance to the safety management of hazardous chemicals?
The "Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals" has a clear definition of hazardous chemicals. Hazardous chemicals refer to highly toxic chemicals that have toxic, corrosive, explosive, burning, and combustion-supporting properties and are harmful to humans, facilities, and the environment. Other chemicals. According to the latest "Dangerous Chemicals Catalogue", there are a total of 2,828 hazardous chemicals. In fact, let’s not talk about “dangerous” discoloration. Our production and life are inseparable from hazardous chemicals, such as: liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, gasoline, glue, paint, paint, liquid ammonia, pesticides, caustic soda, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc. And so on, all belong to hazardous chemicals.
3. What are the main types of dangerous goods in the laboratory
The Department of Transportation categorizes dangerous goods into nine hazard classes that describe different types of risks. For example, Class 3 includes flammable liquids and Class 8 includes corrosive materials. Learn more about commonly shipped dangerous goods (PDF) for each hazard class. The Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Table provides additional details about specific dangerous goods.
Class 1, Explosives
Class 2, Gases
Class 3, Flammable Liquids
Class 4, Flammable Solid, Spontaneously Combustible, and Dangerous When Wet
Class 5, Oxidizer, Organic Peroxide
Class 6, Poison (Toxic), Poison Inhalation Hazard, Infectious Substance
Class 7, Radioactive Material
Class 8, Corrosives
Class 9, Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials and Lithium Batteries
4. What are the common risk sources in the laboratory？
According to the Shanghai Institute of Occupational Safety and Health issued by the 100 national typical laboratory accidents from 2001 to 2013
Classified by place of occurrence:
• Colleges and universities accounted for 71%; scientific research institutes accounted for 11%, and enterprises accounted for 18%;
Classified according to the cause of the accident: combustion and explosion accidents accounted for 80%;
• 21% of fires caused by electrical equipment; • 30% of flammable solvents caused by improper use; • 13% of fires caused by various explosions; • 10% and 6% of flammable gases or spontaneous combustion.
• 71% of accidents are caused by careless work and operating errors of laboratory staff; • 56% of fires occur between 6 pm and 6 am; • 89% of accidents are caused by the lack of necessary fire extinguishing equipment and failure to timely Extinguish the fire source and cause a major disaster.
