Bulk Chemical Handling
15.2.1
When powered industrial lift trucks are necessary, only trained and
authorized operators are allowed to drive a powered industrial
truck to
transport chemicals.
15.2.2
When bulk chemicals are transported, only compatible chemicals may be
transported on the same pallet (See Appendix A - Figure 1 for
compatibility / separation matrix).
15.2.3
All boxes on a pallet must be secured before being transported via
motorized or manual pallet movers (e.g. shrink wrap, tie downs, utilization
of tension belts, strapping, or similar means).
15.2.4
When new chemicals are
received, every effort must be made to place
them within their proper storage area immediately. In no instance shall
chemicals remain outside of the storage area beyond one shift.
15.2.5
When chemicals are pulled for clean room or laboratory use, they shall be
brought directly to the research area. Those which are not immediately
transferred to the clean room or laboratory area must be stored within the
appropriate chemical cabinets or returned back
to the appropriate storage
room.
15.2.6
Dumbwaiters or freight elevators shall never be used as a storage
location, not even on a temporary basis.
15.2.7
Once emptied, chemical boxes shall be broken down and removed to the
designated trash dumpster. In no instance shall empty chemical
boxes
remain beyond one shift nor shall chemicals be stored inside in a box and
inside the storage cabinet.
15.2.8
Special shipping containers, such as those used for
shipping highly toxic
or flammable precursor materials, should be labeled “Hold for
return
shipment”. A request should be made to Shipping and Receiving or the
Clean room or Laboratory manager for temporary storage of the container
in the CUB Chemical storage area.
