Employees authorized to use fire extinguishers include all laboratory employees trained in their use. This training will be provided initially and periodically and covers proper use and limitations of such extinguishers. Fires that cannot be controlled by portable fire extinguishers or become structural fires are responded to by immediate evacuation, sounding of the fire alarm and coordination with the fire department. Administrative Procedures and Practices Basic Rules and Procedures Employees and students are to observe all applicable general safe practices as outlined in the District Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) or Code of Safe Practices. Chemical Purchasing, Distribution, and Storage Amounts of materials purchased and stored are to be the minimum practical; Padded bottle carriers, or boots, are to be used when transporting hazardous chemicals from storage to the classroom or from one classroom to another; Large bottles are to be lifted with two (2) hands, one hand under the bottle and the other hand around the neck of the bottle. Bottles are not to be lifted by the lid or molded ring at the top. Chemicals should be stored according to their compatibility group in a safe single and practical storage pattern. Adopt and standardize a plan that is agreeable to all staff members and use it the school. throughout The storage compatibility categories shown in Science Safety Handbook for Schools, chapter 7, table 7.4, are suggested for use in all California Public California secondary schools. Use of more than one storage compatibility system at one site may be dangerous. Chemicals should be stored in chemically inert containers appropriate for the type and quantity of chemical. The containers are to be stored in a location or manner to prevent physical damage to or deterioration of the container. For example, chemical containers should not be stored directly on the floor. This precaution will prevent the contact of chemicals with water from flooding, mopping, or condensation and the puddling of liquid contents of defective or broken containers around adjacent stored chemicals. Large containers should be stored on the lowest shelves to minimize the danger of breakage or spillage when containers are being removed or replaced. (refer to Title 8, Division 1, Chapter 4, CCR, Subchapter 7, Group 16, Article 109, sections 5163 and 5164.) Environmental Monitoring Refer to Section 3, paragraph e., Exposure Limits.
