LAB SAFETY - EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
|
- Laboratories using hazardous materials must have an eyewash and safety shower within 100 feet or 10 seconds travel time from the chemical use areas
- Eyewashes and safety showers should be standardized at least within a building
- Flooring under safety showers should be slip resistant
- Safety showers may have privacy curtains, particularly in large laboratories or teaching laboratories
- Fire extinguishers, safety showers and eyewash stations should be clearly labeled, particularly if recessed
- Fire extinguishers appropriate for the chemicals and equipment in use should be placed near the entrance of each laboratory, mechanical room and electrical room
- Some chemical operations (e.g distillation hoods) may benefit from hood fire suppression systems
- Windowless laboratories and environmental chambers should have emergency lighting
