Safety — Chemical

Risk Identification

  • SDS: irritating detergent; avoid inhalation and skin contact.
  • Selection antibiotics (e.g., Zeocin): handle with care; avoid exposure.
  • Volatile/corrosive solvents (e.g., phenol:chloroform when applicable): toxic and corrosive.

Mitigation Measures

  • Use specialized PPE: chemical-resistant gloves, masks/respirators as needed, and face shields for splash risk.
  • Perform procedures with volatile/toxic reagents in ventilated cabinets or fume hoods.
  • Have chemical spill kits available; follow spill response protocols.

Storage and Disposal

  • Store according to compatibility and hazard class; label clearly.
  • Dispose of chemical waste in segregated, labeled containers for external management.
