The risk of chemicals in laboratories discussed in this document include elements, compounds, mixtures, commercial products, cleaning products, solvents, and lubricants. Many chemicals are poisonous, irritating, corrosive, carcinogenic, pyrophoric, or explosive. It is not uncommon for chemicals to have two or more of these properties. Chemicals that may be relatively safe when used alone can become very dangerous when mixed with other substances, either in a planned experiment or by accident. Furthermore, a material may not present any risk of exposure in one form, but may in another (e.g. solid vs. aerosol). Therefore, personnel who handle chemicals must consider the hazards and use appropriate controls and procedures. This document is intended to provide the user of chemicals with general guidelines on safe storage, and use of such chemicals in compliance with regulatory requirements.
