Safety Forms

Starting or Changing your chemical reaction?

Fill out the ISM for Chemical reactions form below. The reaction details should include the following:

• The Chemical Synthesis Scheme

• Reagents, quantities, and their hazards.

• Trigger points for re-evaluating the reaction.

• Existing and Additional required PPE

After filling out the form, discuss the work with your Activity Lead and other staff members. They will suggest changes to the reaction, recommend safety controls, and once approved, authorize you to perform the synthesis.

You can look up Safety Data Sheets for new chemicals. Use the links provided in Chapter 45 of LBL's PUB3000 to research chemical hazards.

If you are unsure about hazards, controls, or WPC Activities come talk to the staff and we will help. A good resource is LBL's Chemical Hygiene and Safety Plan.
