Give suggestions how to go about transporting chemicals.

 

Answer:

Use robust secondary containment (e.g., bottle carriers) for transporting chemicals and ensure caps are securely tightened.

Ensure that the secondary containment has a lid and that it is large enough to hold the contents of the chemical container in the event of breakage.

NOTE: Never transport incompatible chemicals in the same secondary containment.

Hand carts may be used to transport hazardous materials in secondary containment. While being transported, place chemicals in a basin or tray with at least a two-inch lip to prevent items from falling and to contain any potential spill.

If available, use a freight elevator to transport chemicals between floors.

While in transit, containers must be labeled with chemical name and corresponding hazards and shall be attended at all times.

Individuals transporting chemicals must be familiar with the material’s hazards and should know what to do in the event of a release or spill.

If relocated, update the chemical inventory to reflect the new storage location of chemicals.

PPE shall NOT be worn for transportation of chemicals which pass through office areas, between floors, or outside a building.

Items which are not safe to handle without PPE are NOT permitted to exit a laboratory and may NOT be transported outside of a laboratory.

PPE may be left on when transporting materials between labs in the same corridor.

To prevent possibility of contamination spreading, either no gloves are to be worn, or only one glove, leaving one clean hand exposed.
