| Carrying solvents |
Winchester bottles of solvents may be carried in the
corridors or lifts only in carriers (maximum load per person, two
carriers) or on appropriate trolleys |
| Rotary equipment |
Equipment with rotating parts, e.g. stirrers, rotary evaporators,
rotary pumps must not be allowed to catch hair or clothing or any
trailing wires or tubing. |
| Gas cylinders |
Large cylinders of compressed gases must be moved only in proper
trolleys (which are designed to be pushed, not pulled) and transferred
carefully to positions where they can be securely strapped. Only
the minimum number of cylinders should be kept at any station. If
a cylinder trolley is showing signs of wear or is giving any trouble,
inform Lab Supplies.
There are a number of types of regulators in use with different
pressure scales: mark on your regulators the maximum safe pressure
for routine work in your laboratory.
Never attempt to fit compressed gas cylinders if in doubt. |
