Safe Handling Guidelines for Corrosives (Acids and Bases)... 

Sara tide III, section 313, Clean Air Act 1990, threshold limit values, and LD qS ate given in Table 3 for the substances for which data are available. Additional information is continuously being developed to provide guidelines for the safe handling of dye carriers and carrier-active chemicals. 

Established Practices Codes, standards, regulatory requirements, industry guidelines, recommended practices, and supplier specifications have all developed over the years to embody the collective experience of industry and its stakeholders in the safe handling of specific materials. These should be the engineer s first resource in seeking to design a new facility. 

As the result of this fire, the production of 3 million integrated circuits per month, reportedly corresponding to sales of more than ten billion yen, stopped for several months, and the damage to the facilities exceeded 2 million yen per square meter of area. Spurred by this accident, classes on the safety of semiconductor gases are now held frequently, and guidelines for the safe handling of semiconductor gases have been established.

The label contains the key information abont any pesticide yon aie planning to nse. The label on the package of a pesticide tells yon the most important facts you must know abont that particnlar pesticide for safe and effective use. The information on the label gives not only the directions on how to mix and apply the pesticide, but also offers guidelines for safe handling, first aid, storage, and protection of the environment.

Good laboratory safety practice requires that incompatible chemicals be stored, transported, and disposed of in ways that will prevent their coming together in the event of an accident. Tables 1 and 2 give some basic guidelines for the safe handling of acids, bases, reactive metals, and other chemicals. Neither of these tables is exhaustive, and additional information on incompatible chemicals can be found in the following references. 

This chapter reviews common difficulties in column operation, outlines practices for overcoming them, highlights the consequences of poor practices, and supplies general guidelines for avoiding the hazards and pitfalls. As in the previous chapter, hazeu ds and pitfalls specifically related to the nature of the chemicals processed (e.g., toxicity, flammability) are outside the scope of this distillation text. The safe handling procedures of the relevant chemicals must be followed to cater for the latter hazards and pitfalls.

Refer to NFPA 99-2012, Chapters 1-5 medical gas information, previously contained in NFPA 99C. Medical gas personnel can also access the NFPA 99-2012 handbook for all of the former NFPA 99C medical gas and vacuum systems content. Refer to the CGA pamphlet Characteristics and Safe Handling of Medical Gases (No. P2). Refer to the OSHA publication, Anesthetic Gases Guidelines for Workplace Exposures, for occupational safety information. Bulk medical...
