Eye fountains

At the outset, learn the location of the nearest eye fountain, fire blanket, shower, and fire extinguisher. Learn the proper use of each, and do not hesitate to use this equipment should the need arise. 

Acrylic Acid Chemical respirator at ambient temperatures to avoid inhalation of noxious fumes, rubber gloves if exposed to wet materials, acid goggles or face shield for splash exposure, safety shower and/or eye fountain may be required. Get medical attention promptly for all exposures. Rush with water for at least 15 minutes. Hush with water for at least 15 minutes. 

Chlorine Quick-opening safety shower and eye fountain respiratory equipment approved for chlorine service. Wear safety goggles at all times when in vicinity of liquid chlorine. Remove victim from source of exposure call a doctor support respiration administer oxygen. Hush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. 

Most states by law require a person working in a chemical laboratory to wear protective eyeglasses. It is good practice in any event, to use them. You should locate fire extinguishers, exits, safety showers, eye fountains, and fire blankets in your laboratory. Any dangerous or potentially dangerous laboratory situation should be brought immediately to the attention of the laboratory supervisor. 

PERSONAL PROTECTION wear rubber over-clothing, including gloves wear splash-proof safety goggles and self-contained breathing apparatus showers and eye fountains must be available where sulfuric acid is used. 

Eye contact The eyes must be flooded immediately with copious quantities of clean water. Speed is essential. In isolated areas, water in a squeeze bottle, which can be carried in the pocket, is helpful for emergency irrigation purposes. Eye fountains should be used, but if they are not available, water may be poured over the eyes. In any case, the eyelids must be held open and irrigation must continue for at least 30 minutes. The patient must receive prompt attention from a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist. Persons subject to ammonia exposure should not wear contact lenses. 

Leaking cylinders should be moved outdoors or to an isolated, well-ventilated area where the contents may be released. Each employee should know the location of safety showers, eye fountains, and fire extinguishing equipment [4]. 

When dispersed as a dust, adipic acid is subject to normal dust explosion hazards. See Table 3 for ignition properties of such dust—air mixtures. The material is an irritant, especially upon contact with the mucous membranes. Thus protective goggles or face shields should be worn when handling the material. Prolonged contact with the skin should also be avoided. Eye wash fountains, showers, and washing faciUties should be provided in work areas. However, MSDS Sheet400 (5) reports that no acute or chronic effects have been observed. 

Safe handling practices are essential at all stages of production, from the laboratory to the manufacturing operations. The safety committee should inspect and advise on processing equipment and be responsible for providing personal protection, eye wash fountains, safety showers, etc. 

Safety Showers. Safety showers and eyewash fountains or hoses should be installed where corrosive or toxic materials are handled. A large-volume, low velocity discharge from directly overhead should effect continuous drenching, ie, a minimum flow of 20 L/min (50 gal /min). Water to outside showers may be heated to a maximum temperature of 27°C by an electric heating cable. The valves for all safety showers should be at the same height and relative position to the shower head, and they should operate in the same way and direction. The shower station should be identified by paint of a bright, contrasting color. In areas where chemicals harmful to the eyes may be encountered, an eyewash fountain or spray should be available in case of splash accidents. 

Ensure fast-aeting showers are available elose to site of use/storage plus eye-wash fountains or similar faeilities for eye iiTigation. 

Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area... 

Wear respirators based on contamination levels found, must not exceed the working limits of the respirator and must be jointly approved by NIOSH employer should provide an eye wash fountain and quick drench shower for emergency use. 

It was found, when an attempt was made to conduct ship trials that the paint applier would be required to wear long sleeves, gloves, safety glasses, and a protective face shield. It is also a requirement that an eyewash fountain be nearby. These requirements were imposed because acrylates are skin, eye and respiratory tract irritants, but the problem lies mostly with the acrylated reactive diluent rather than with the acrylated resin (2,3). To avoid these problems, tests have been performed with use of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as a replacement for TMPTA. TMPTMA has been shown to be much less of an irritant than TMPTA, and is used in dental restorations.

Vanessa and I sat together at the outdoor restaurant near the fountain in Central Park, she with her Dubonnet and I with my Lowenbrau. In the eyes of the poor scholar and revolutionary that I then imagined myself to be, the scene seemed staged in its casual elegance, the production values definitely higher than I could usually afford. The conversation had arrived at the subject of my brother, then only eighteen, whom Vanessa had never met ... 

Always a popular firework, Catherine wheels with diameters of up to 50 cm are readily available. Other wheels are more complicated in construction and combine the effects of gerbs, saxons, fountains, lances and rockets in ways that are always attractive to the eye, as well as being dramatic (Figure 9.2). 

Each laboratory should be equipped with hoods and safety-related items such as fire extinguisher, fire blankets, safety shower, and eye wash fountain. The equipment and materials listed here for 25 students should be made available in each laboratory.
