When a laboratory has more than 10 gallons of flammable liquids on hand in the laboratory, the flammables should be stored in an approved flammable cabinet. Flammables and flammable cabinet are not stored near a flame or any source of heat. Automatic tissue processors that flammable liquids used in are in an area free of combustible material. Approved safety carriers for handling hazardous chemicals are available and used if the chemicals are in unprotected breakable bottles. Containers of chemicals at the workbench are 1 gallon or smaller.
Chemical waste is disposed of properly.
Incompatible chemicals are not combined. Waste containers are labeled as waste is being collected. Laboratory personnel have a general understanding of the health and physical hazards of the chemicals. Appropriate laboratory clothing should be worn while in the laboratory. Appropriate safety glasses and gloves are available and worn.
