SKIDMORE COLLEGE
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
The laboratory component of chemistry courses at Skidmore College
is considered an integral part of the study of chemistry. Activities and explorations will encourage
discovery, verification of accepted theories, and hands on practice with
techniques and instrumentation.
Laboratory experiments planned by the faculty of the Department of
Chemistry and are instructive, efficient, enjoyable and safe. Although everything is done to maximize
safety in the laboratory, certain unavoidable potential hazards exist. Each student can help to maintain a safe
environment for everyone working in a laboratory by preparing properly for the experiment and by planning the work to be done.
Additionally, it is necessary to arrive promptly at the beginning of the
laboratory in order that the lecture regarding theory, special safety
considerations/hazards, and chemical waste management regarding substances
used/operations performed is clearly understood. It is the policy of the Department of Chemistry that should a
student miss this lecture, participation in the laboratory is denied. Appropriate
conduct is required at all times, and concentration on work is expected.
Guidelines presented in this manual are designed for the student in order to provide a reference to the general safety regulations and proper laboratory practices endorsed by the Department of Chemistry. Used in conjunction with the guidance of the faculty, these guidelines provide a coherent plan to follow with respect to the prevention of injury and damage to property.
Since laboratory is an integral component of the course, the contents of this manual are subject to testing/grading. All students must understand the information in this document, and must sign the declaration on the last page of this manual prior to undertaking any work in the laboratory.
I. General Safety Requirements, Information, and Practices
1.
Personal Protective
Equipment
must be used in accordance with the hazards of the substances/equipment being
used.
¨
Safety goggles must be worn at all times
in all laboratories by students, visitors, and faculty. A student found without goggles twice during
a laboratory will be asked to leave for the remainder of the experiment and
will receive a failing grade for the day.
Repetition of the violation may result in a recommendation by the
Department that the student withdraw from the course.
¨
Chemically resistant gloves and aprons should be used when working with toxic and/or corrosive
materials.
Check the reagent bottle or the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for toxicity and
corrosivity potential(s). See Section IV for information on MSDS forms.
¨
Face shields must be worn whenever the
potential for explosion exists, or whenever one is in doubt regarding the
potential for explosion.
2.
Safety/Emergency Equipment must be located during the
first lab session, and its use must be
understood.
¨
Fire Extinguishers, Safety
(drench) Showers, Eye Wash Fountains and basic First Aid Equipment are
available in each teaching laboratory. The instructor will point
out the location and explain the proper use of these items during the first lab
period.
¨
Fire alarms are located
(1)at either end of the hallway on the (north) faculty office side of Dana Science Center.
(2)along the south wall of Dana Science Center facing Saisellin Art Building.
¨
A mercury spill kit is located on the wall in
Dana 208 (general chemistry preparation area). If mercury is spilled (i.e.
broken thermometer), inform a faculty member immediately.
¨ Dust pans and brushes are available in each teaching laboratory for clean up of broken glass. Broken glass containers are available in each laboratory for proper disposal of these materials. Never place broken glass in the trash can.
¨
A
portable Emergency Spill Response kit
for hazardous chemical clean up is located in Dana 236. When in doubt about how to clean up any
spill, consult a faculty member.
3.
If
the fire alarm sounds or an order is
issued for emergency evacuation, all
flames must be extinguished and electrical heating equipment turned off. Students* in Dana 200, 201, 202, 203, and
204 must immediately exit via the south side of the laboratory, continue out
the emergency stairways, move away from the building, and congregate in order
that attendance can be taken. *Note:
Physically challenged individuals may exit via the north side of the laboratory in order to make use of
building ramps. Students working
elsewhere (i.e. research laboratories) will exit according to the directive
provided by the instructor.
4.
Fume hoods must be turned on and used
whenever an activity involves production of unpleasant or hazardous vapors, use
of air or water reactive reagents, use of highly corrosive or flammable
materials, or any time when there may be uncertainty as to the result of a
reaction. Work in non- functioning fume
hoods is prohibited.
5.
Flames (i.e. Bunsen burners)
should never be left unattended, and should never be used when heating a
volatile/flammable substance or mixture.
Hot plates or heating mantles
(connected to power mites/Variacs (that allow for temperature control)
should be selected for the activity. No open flames are permitted in the lab when
volatiles are being used outside of a fume hood.
6.
All
fires/accidents must be immediately
reported to the instructor, including minor cuts/burns.
7.
Food
consumption/smoking/drinking are never
permitted in any laboratory.
8.
Oral contact with anything while working in the laboratory is forbidden. This includes (but is not limited to) food,
beverages, chemicals, pens, pencils, fingers, hoses and pipettes (Note: Never pipette anything by
mouth. Bulbs are available for
drawing liquid into pipettes).
9.
No unauthorized
experimentation is permitted under any
circumstances. Students may not
perform experiments other than those specifically approved by the
instructor. Additionally, any
procedural changes must also be approved prior to initiation.
10.
Inspect equipment prior to
use. All clamps must be tight, rubber hoses
secure and in good condition, glassware free of chips/cracks, electrical cords
in good condition, etc. Discard
questionable materials and replace them with new pieces. Report
any questionable equipment to the instructor.
11.
Never work alone. Unsupervised work is not permitted. For students enrolled in regular classes, no availability exists for
laboratory work outside of scheduled laboratory
classes. Note: exceptions to this rule
may be made only in the case of students in upper level courses or in the case
of student assistants. These
exceptions must be explicitly approved by the instructor/supervisor.
12.
Beware of glass/porcelain. The vast majority of lab accidents involve cuts from glass or
burns from hot glass/porcelain. In the
rush to clean up after a lab, students often neglect to allow sufficient time
for equipment to cool down.
13.
Appropriate clothing must be
worn at all times. Feet should be totally
protected (no sandals), and clothing should adequately cover the body and not
be overly loose. Lab coats/aprons are
encouraged.
14.
Long hair must be tied back/secured.
15.
Neatness in the laboratory
is imperative. It is not only essential to successful work,
but also effective in the reduction of accidents. The work area should be kept clear of all materials except those
needed for the immediate task.
16.
Read all labels carefully. Be certain that the
proper chemical is being dispensed.
Check the warning labels for toxicity/hazards, and refer to the MSDS
(see Section IV of this document) if necessary.
17.
Never pour unused chemicals
back into the reagent bottle. Never put
a pipette directly into a reagent bottle.
Strive to estimate the amount of reagent required.
18.
No chemicals, apparatus, or
equipment may be removed from any laboratory for any reason whatsoever without the
instructor’s knowledge and consent.
19.
Report any equipment failure to the instructor. Never attempt to adjust it without guidance.
20.
Questions regarding
safety/good lab practice should be immediately posed to the instructor. When in doubt, ask before acting!
II. Emergency Procedures
The severity of an injury may be difficult to determine initially, therefore all injuries, fires, and explosions must be reported to the instructor at once. Any injury that cannot be handled with a simple bandage mustbe handled by a physician, either at Health Services or at the Emergency Room of Saratoga Hospital.
1.
If
you cannot help during an emergency, get out of the way of people who can.
2.
Fire: Report all fires immediately to the instructor, and leave the
laboratory at once. Do not attempt to
extinguish a fire unless an instructor is not nearby or unless someone is in
immediate danger of serious injury. See
Section I, #2 for the location of
fire alarms.
3.
Clothing fires: If clothing catches fire, call
for help, get under the safety shower and pull the chain. If not near a shower, grab the nearest fire
blanket, drop to the floor and roll in it.
Note: Never
wrap vertically in a fire blanket as the chimney effect might draw flame upward
toward the face. If neither safety
shower or fire blanket is close by, drop to the floor and roll. Important:
Never use a carbon dioxide
fire extinguisher on a person as the intense cold may result in severe injury.
4.
Chemicals in the eye(s): If any chemical has splashed into the eyes, immediately call for help and rush
to the eyewash fountain. Push the
paddle (which will allow water to flow spontaneously without further effort),
and hold the lid(s) of the affected eye(s) open. Flush eyes for a minimum
of 15 minutes! An instructor will notify Health Services,
and arrange for transportation.
5.
Chemical spills on the body: If chemicals are spilled over a large area of the body, go under
the safety shower and pull the
chain. Remove any affected clothing.
If chemicals are spilled over a small area of the body, flush with cold
water and wash with soap. In either
case, notify the instructor in order
that the MSDS sheet can be checked for toxicity, corrosivity, etc. If needed, the instructor will arrange for
transportation to Health Services.
6.
Ingestion of a chemical: If any chemical is swallowed or gets into the mouth, rinse it out
and spit. Immediately notify the instructor who will follow the procedure in
#5 above.
III. Admission to Laboratories and Supervision of Work
1.
No
person is permitted access to any non-public area within the Department of
Chemistry unless specific, approved business is being conducted.
2.
Access
to the storeroom and cold room is limited to student assistants and research
students unless
a faculty member is present.
3.
Visitors
are permitted only with approval of the
instructor in charge of a given laboratory. All visitors are subject to the
safety regulations (including goggles) of the Department.
4.
No
student may work in an instructional laboratory unless a supervisor authorized
by the Department is in attendance.
While the supervisor may be absent for short periods of time, a student
who continues to work after the supervisor has left for the day, or who works
after the laboratory has been formally closed is guilty of a serious breach of
departmental regulations.
IV. Material Safety Data Sheets
Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide information designed to protect individuals from
hazards that may be associated with use of a chemical. MSDS forms are available in the Office of
the Department of Chemistry (Dana 272) during normal teaching/office hours.
They may also be accessed online at www.msdssearch.com/DBLinksN.htm. Particularly recommended on this website are the databases
provided by Cornell University and
Vermont SIRI.
Although instructors will
provide safety information regarding the specific chemicals used in each
experiment, students are encouraged to
routinely examine MSDS data for required reagents. Typical information found on an MSDS
includes the following:
|
CATEGORY |
TYPE OF INFORMATION |
|
NAME OF SUPPLIER |

V. Laboratory Conduct and Student Responsibilities
1.
All
students are expected to demonstrate mature judgment and common sense in their
work and conduct while working in the laboratory. Horseplay, practical joking, working while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, or any other form of conduct deemed unsafe by the instructor
is unacceptable and is grounds for immediate dismissal from the laboratory.
2.
All
spills must be promptly cleaned up.
Ask the instructor for advice on how to clean up and dispose of any
spilled chemical.
3.
Make
certain that all apparatus is clean and put away at the end of the
laboratory. Double check to be sure
that reagent bottles are tightly closed and stored in the proper place. Leave the lab bench clean and dry.
4.
Any
reaction mixtures or products that must be stored until the next laboratory must
be labeled with the contents, the date, the name of the experimenter,
and a notation indicating any hazards associated with the material.
5.
All
hazardous waste accumulated during lab must be brought to the Satellite Hazardous Waste Collection Area
and placed in the appropriate container.
Seal the waste container before leaving.
VI. Chemical and Equipment Safety
Assume that all chemicals
are hazardous, and treat them accordingly.
Although the following guidelines are by no means
comprehensive/complete, the specific hazards and policies associated with
various chemicals/equipment provides a basis for safe laboratory practice.
1.
Many
common organic solvents are under suspicion as potential carcinogenic agents.
Among these are Dichloromethane, Carbon Tetrachloride, and Chloroform. Treat all organic solvents with respect and minimize
contact with both the liquid and the vapors.
2.
Methanol
is very toxic and can cause blindness if ingested. It can be absorbed through the skin and contact should be
avoided. If accidental contact occurs,
wash thoroughly with soap and water.
3.
Addition
of strong oxidizing agents to organic matter may lead to fire/explosion. Common oxidizing agents used in the
laboratory include nitric acid, nitrates, nitrites, chlorates, and compounds
with “per” in their name (example:
potassium permanganate).
4.
Due
to their extremely hazardous nature,
the following chemicals and equipment may
not be handled by students* except under the direct supervision of an
instructor:
CHEMICALS
|
EQUIPMENT
|
|
Elemental Bromine |
Gas Cylinders |
|
All Cyanides |
UV Lamps |
|
Hydrofluoric Acid |
Vacuum Equipment |
|
Perchloric Acid (>6M) |
Lasers |
|
Nicotine |
|
*Upper level students
engaged in research must be specifically trained prior to using any of the
above.
5. Compounds of heavy metals, especially lead, arsenic, antimony, bismuth and mercury are very toxic. Chromates and dichromates are capable of producing ulcerous sores, and are carcinogenic. Minimize contact with these substances.
6. All compounds labeled “stench”, malodorous compounds (examples: mercaptans, low molecular weight organic acids, amines), and compounds that evolve toxic vapors must be used in the hood.
7.
Drying
ovens are not approved for flammable substances. Under no circumstances may any flammable material be stored in
one. Drying ovens are used only for
drying non-flammable solids that are wet with/have absorbed water. All chemicals stored in drying ovens must be
properly labeled (see Section V, #4 of this document).
8.
Sodium
and Potassium metal react violently with water. Magnesium metal is very flammable. Obtain advice from an instructor prior to their use.
9.
Ethers
have a tendency to form dangerously explosive peroxides over time. Never attempt to open an old ether can unless
there is certainty regarding lack of peroxide formation. Open all cans of ether under a hood with the
sash pulled as low as possible. Never
store ether in a glass container.
10.
Considerable heat is often evolved when
concentrated liquids are diluted with water.
The concentrate in always added to
water; never the reverse.
(Example: pour concentrated acid
into water).
11.
Gas
cylinders may only be used by research/upper level students who have been
specifically trained in safety considerations.
When using cylinder gas, make certain that the cylinder is firmly
anchored (strapped). Avoid bumping the
cylinder regulator. If the cylinder
does not open easily, consult the instructor.
Never use a pipe wrench on a cylinder.
12.
Work
involving either pressure or vacuum should be done only with equipment
expressly designed for this purpose.
Proper shielding is required.
13.
Cryogenic
substances such as dry ice, liquid nitrogen, and liquid ammonia may be used
only after special training by an instructor occurs.
14.
Consider
electrical hazards carefully. Certain
instruments have high voltage components.
Report malfunctioning equipment to the instructor.
15.
Any
apparatus with moving pulleys or shafts (pumps, power tools) presents special
safety concerns. Loose clothing poses a
particular hazard when working with this type of equipment.
VII.
Radiation Safety
Skidmore
College is licensed by the New York State Department of Health to possess
limited quantities of certain radioactive substances. The Department owns certain sources of X-Radiation. Use of any
radiation producing substance is strictly regulated and is limited to specially
trained individuals. No person may
possess or use any source of ionizing radiation within the Department without the explicit approval of Dr.
William Standish, Radiation Safety Officer.
