Designate a dedicated storage area. Make a current copy of the SDS available to all personnel working in the laboratory at all times. Do not over purchase; only purchase what can be safely stored in the laboratory. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and inhalation. Keep away from sources of ignition, heat and flames. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions include carbon oxides and hydrogen fluoride. Keep containers tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Use in the smallest practical quantities for the experiment being performed. Conduct work in a chemical fume hood, especially when oils are heated. Keep containers closed when not in use. Label containers appropriately. Label should indicate the name of the chemical(s) in the container. Avoid using chemical abbreviations and formulae. Containers must be in good condition and compatible with the material Section 5 Spill and Accident Procedures – If skin is exposed, remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water. If eye is exposed, call 911 as soon as possible and flush eyes for 15 minutes in the eye wash. Immediately evacuate area if fumes present a serious health risk and ensure others are aware of the spill. During normal business hours (Monday Friday, 8 AM 5 PM), call EH&S at 206.543.0467 for further assistance. If it is – – after hours, call 911 for further assistance. If there is an imminent threat of a fire, pull the nearest fire alarm station to evacuate the building and dial 911. If it is safe to clean up the spill, wear PPE listed above. Double bag and securely fasten spill materials. Label as hazardous waste. Label bags as hazardous waste. Report the spill via the EH&S Online Accident Reporting System (OARS). Section 6 Waste Disposal Procedures – Store hazardous waste in closed containers that are properly labeled, and in a designated area. Request chemical waste collection via the EH&S website. Section 7 Protocol – NOTE: Any deviation from this SOP requires approval from Principal Investigator. Section 8 Documentation of Training (signature of all users is required) – Prior to conducting any work with perfluoropolyether, the Principal Investigator must ensure that all laboratory personnel receive training on the content of this SOP.
