Near Miss: Microwave Oven
by Davis, Linda S 06 May '11

06 May '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, There was a serious Near Miss Incident in late 2010 that I need to inform you about. A bottle of water was sealed and placed in a microwave oven in one of the Armstrong Hall kitchenettes. The timer was set for 5 minutes and the user went elsewhere during this time. When the user returned, he/she found the door of the microwave had been blown off by the exploding water bottle with enough force that it damaged the wall across from the oven. Pictures of the damage from boiling water are attached for your information. It could have been much worse. No one happened to be walking by or using the kitchenette at the time, so injury from the flying door and bottle and the steam and boiling water did not occur. Most people reading of this incident will be dismissive, but please think about the last time you or someone you know might have had a steam burn or failed to notice some metal trim on a container when using a microwave. A two page write-up on microwave operation and safety is attached for your information. The purpose of Near Miss reporting is to raise awareness and to prevent the next incident from happening. More to come on Near Miss reporting this summer. Linda Linda S.

Safety Update: Wearing Gloves Outside of Laboratories
by Davis, Linda S 06 May '11

06 May '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, This is a reminder that chemical resistant gloves should be removed BEFORE you touch the door knob and leave your lab. If you are doing work in multiple labs, you should not be moving between labs while wearing gloves that could be contaminated with hazardous chemicals. In April, one of our colleagues (who does not work in a lab) sustained a chemical burn to the eyes that required medical treatment because he touched a contaminated door knob or door panel in Forney. This is terrible and unacceptable. It is everyone's responsibility to follow and enforce this policy to ensure the safety of our personnel. Thank you. Linda Linda S. Davis Industrial Education Director Chair, ChE Safety Committee (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/AboutUs/Safety.html) School of Chemical Engineering Purdue University 480 Stadium Mall Dr. West Lafayette, IN 47907-2100 Phone: (765)496-1710 lsdavis(a)purdue.edu

Safety Update: Lead Graduate Student Safety Responsibilities
by Davis, Linda S 06 May '11

06 May '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, Piotr Gawecki has led the development of the attached guideline that describes the responsibilities of a Lead ChE Graduate Student in the area of safety. The ChE Safety Committee endorses this guideline for all research groups - both experimental and computational. We hope that by defining the safety responsibilities, we continue to improve the safety culture and practices in chemical engineering. Please contact any of the ChE Safety Committee members (Ahmad Al-Kukhun, Linda Davis, Vinod Kumar, Professor Fabio Ribeiro, Jeff Valley, Yury Zvinevich) with comments or questions. Thank you.

Safety Update: Lab Coat Cleaning
by Davis, Linda S 06 May '11

06 May '11

ChE Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students, Lab coat cleaning was identified during our 2010 safety audits and inspections. Purdue's policy is that lab coats should not be washed at home or at a commercial laundromat. This topic was discussed extensively with REM and the COE Safety Committee. The conclusion was that the lab coat cleaning need in Engineering is not sufficient to justify installation of a washing machine and dryer or to establish a contract with a third-party laundry service. The recommendation is that dirty lab coats that could be contaminated with hazardous chemicals be disposed as hazardous waste with REM and that new lab coats be purchased. A lower cost option is to evaluate the use of disposable lab coats. In this case, please ensure that disposable lab coats provide sufficient protection from the identified hazards in your area. One source for disposable coats is through the School of Pharmacy stores. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns. Thank you. Linda Linda S.
