Chemical SOP's
This manual contains the standard
operating procedures (SOPs) for safe handling, use and disposal of numerous
strong chemicals that are used at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source
(CHESS). These SOPs are meant to provide a quick reference for the dangers
of each chemical and personal protective equipment to be used while handling
each chemical. First-aid and spill clean-up information is also reviewed.
Before working with any chemicals
at CHESS, all staff, post doctoral employees, and students must meet the
following training requirements. All personnel are required to have taken
Chemical Safety for Laboratory Workers and Chemical Waste (Hazardous
Waste/RCRA) Training. Both of these courses are offered by Cornell
EH&S. They should also have taken any special departmental safety training
for the particular chemical operation being used. Training should also
include a review of the Cornell Chemical Hygiene Plan and the Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) of each chemical used. All
CHESS users from other institutions should be able to demonstrate previous
safety training at their home institution. The understanding of the
following SOPs does not replace the above listed training.
