Lab Safety Training Flammables Great new laboratory Safety series created in PowerPoint© These new customizable courses provide comprehensive coverage of important lab safety topics in a complete course package containing:
Laboratories are the site of many potential hazards, including the many hazards presented by chemicals themselves. One of the most prevalent hazards is the risk of fire. Fires cause much property loss, cause very painful injury and even cause death. Flammable chemicals can contribute greatly to the start of a fire. Flammables also contribute a high heating value to the continuance of the fire. This program describes three models of fire. Knowledge of the models of fire is important because if any step in the process of initiating a fire is removed, the fire does NOT start. Further, if any step is interrupted in a fire, the fire is extinguished. The models of fire are explained in terms of the chemical reaction of fire. A number of chemicals properties related to flammability are also explained. Once understood, the chemical properties can provide information on how best to store chemicals or handle them to minimize the risk of fire. The properties that are examined include:
Specific storage considerations are explained related to flammable chemicals. Uniform Fire Code requirements are covered, along with information on flammable storage cabinets, environmental considerations and compatibility with other chemicals. Handling practices to prevent a fire are covered. Many of these handling practices are related to spill control. Finally, preparation in the event of a fire is detailed. Fire extinguishers are described according to the type of fuel involved in a fire. How to use a fire extinguished is described.
