Using Organic Chemicals
|
1.
When using organic chemicals, be careful not to get exposed to them
because many are toxic. 2.
Wear gloves when handling the chemicals to avoid getting them onto your
hands. Always inspect the gloves to ensure that the chemical has not gotten
onto the gloves. If the gloves have been exposed, then take them off, dispose
them and get a new pair while you are still working with the chemicals. When
you are done working with the chemicals, you no longer need the gloves. 3.
When handling a liquid organic chemical, transfer it inside the hood
and then quickly move it to your own hood to avoid inhaling its vapors. 4.
When working with solids, be sure to carefully weigh out the
appropriate amounts into the weigh boats and never put any chemical back into
the original. If you spill any, clean up the mess properly. Transfer the
solid to the hood carefully. 5.
Be sure to have the msds on hand for all
the chemicals you will be using so that if you need any information, you can
get it quickly. |
