SOPs specific to Chemistry Laboratories:

The purpose of this SOP is to provide standard operating procedures for handling of chemicals and apparatus in the Department of Chemistry laboratory. This is in addition to the routine precautions that are followed while WORKING in a chemistry lab. A separate SOP is available for handling of instruments.

1. RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENT

All students entering a Chemistry lab or instrument lab are required to:

a. Adhere to the policies of the college.
b. Follow the instructions of the teachers during the Lab.
c. Always wash up after using chemicals.
d. Use safety goggles, lab coat while performing any experiment.
e. In case of any accident/incident (however big or small), inform the teacher immediately.
f. Be aware of all emergency procedures.
g. Do not perform any experiment/reaction without the permission of the teacher.
h. Do not taste any chemical from the laboratory bottles even though they may seem to be common/harmless such as salt/glucose etc.

2. RESPONSIBILITIES OF TEACHERS

All teachers are required to make sure that:

a. The students have read the SOP and understood them.
b. The teachers themselves (does they here refer to teachers or students) are aware of the safe handling of each chemical being used in the laboratory.
c. The students do not violate the safety norms.
d. Report any safety violation by the any staff/student to the TIC (Technical Integrity Check )of the department.
e. Report any major laboratory accident to the TIC immediately and provide medical aid to the injured as soon as possible.

3. RESPONSIBILITIES OF LABORATORY STAFF

All members of the laboratory staff are required to:
a. Make sure that the work allotted to them is complete and the lab is in proper order.
b. Be responsible for the general safety of the students and all your colleagues.
c. Be alert while in the chemistry lab.
d. Handle chemicals safely.

e. Understand the meaning of the symbol on the bottle of chemical.
f. Understand the nature of each chemical used in laboratory and store them accordingly.
g. Store chemicals properly so as to not result in dangerous reactions/explosions/fire etc.
h. Store all hazardous chemicals separately.
i. Act swiftly and help the victim in case of any accident.
j. Monitor the way students/colleagues handle the chemicals and take necessary/suitable action on violation of safety norms.
k. Clean up chemical spill immediately taking due care.
l. Evacuate the students to safety in case of emergency.
m. Remove any mercury spills immediately.
n. Do not touch any chemical with bare hands; always use a spatula or a dropper.
o. Do not to waste chemicals.
p. Wherever possible, use the left-over solutions for another class.

4. HOUSEKEEPING

A laboratory in the college is a place used by students across many courses. It is therefore, pertinent to follow good housekeeping practices. Here are some tips for maintaining a chemistry laboratory a pleasant place to work.

a) The laboratory must be kept neat and clean at all times.
b) All apparatus and chemicals must be kept in their designated places.
c) Working bench must be kept free from unnecessary apparatus, filter paper, chemicals, waste.
d) Always a cleaning duster must be kept handy to clean any spills.
e) All spills must be immediately cleaned up taking necessary precautions.
f) Laboratory staff may be approached to clean up dangerous spills.
g) No stools must be left in the path between the working tables.
h) All paths to exits must be kept unobstructed.
i) All chemical containers must be labeled for easy identification.
j) Broken glassware must be handled with care.
k) Clean all your apparatus before putting in the locker or returning at the counter
l) Clean your work area completely before leaving the lab.
m) Clamp, wire gauze, tripod stand etc must be returned back to their designated place
n) Return bottles of chemicals to their designated place.
o) All unused (clean) solutions must be returned to the stock from where it was taken.

5. Do’s and Don’ts

a) Inhalation
b) Ingestion
c) Absorption

C. SYMPTOMS OF POSSIBLE OVEREXPOSURE

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Skin irritation

D. FIRST – AID ON OVER EXPOSURE

If the victim is feeling weak and suffocating, move her to fresh air.
Seek medical attention. Following are some first – aid measures for specific purposes.

First Aid for Chemicals in the Eyes

• Don’t rub the eyes.
• Hold eyelids open and flush with water for 15 minutes.
• Be careful not to contaminate the other eye.

• Seek additional medical attention.

First Aid for Chemicals on the Skin

• Flush area with lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
• Remove clothing and jewellery from the burn area.
• Seek additional medical attention

First Aid for Chemical Inhalation

• Move victim to fresh air.
• Get immediate medical attention.

First Aid for Chemical Ingestion
• Do not induce vomiting unless told by Poison Control.
• Get immediate medical attention.
