    20. Keep the wok area clean.
    21. Use adequate ventilation.
    FLAMMABLE & COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS
    1. Exhaust system should be available in store
    2. Draw out the chemical as much as needed.
    4. Use a funnel when pouring into a small container.
    5. Clean up spills & drips immediately.
    10. Working area should be ventilated.
    12. Use rubber gloves during the work.

    Glassware is used in the laboratories because it is


    (1)Inert(2)Fairly Easy to Clean(3)Relatively Inexpensive(4)Convenient to use being transparent.

    HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM


    It is designed by NFPA (National Fire Protection Association). It
    has a Diamond Shaped Diagram which gives idea of hazards & severity of these hazards.
    It shows FOUR information. (a) Flammability of chemical (b) Health hazard by the chemical .
    (c) Reactivity of chemical (d) Some specific hazards.
    Hazards have five numeric grades. 0(Non), 1(Slightly), 2(Moderately), 3(Highly), 4(Extremely).
    MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet) gives detailed information of a chemical & its hazards.

    1. Identifiers
    2. Hazardous ingredients
    3. PELs(Permissible Exposure Limits)
    4. Physical/Chemical Data
    5. Fire & Explosion Data
    6. Reactivity Data
    7. Health Hazard Data
    8. Spill & leak Procedure
    9. Special protection
    10.Special precaution
    RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE
    Gamma rays are radiation hazards in industry used for:

    (1) Non Destructive Testing (NDT) (2) X-Ray.

    Excessive radiation breaks the cells of human body which results radiation sickness.

    There are two radiation hazards for human body:

    (1) Internally (due to airborne dust)


    (2) Externally (radiation from source)
    Two devices are commonly used to measure the amount of exposure:
    (1) Dosimeter (2) Film badge

    PRECAUTIONS
    1. Workers must wear respirators.
    2. Workers must wear protective clothing.
    3. Maximize the DISTANCE between worker & source.
    4. Limit the TIME of exposure.
    5. SHIELDING by thick & dense metal.
    Distance, Time & Shielding are safety influencing factors.
