appropriate thermally insulated gloves when handling liquid nitrogen. Face shields may be needed in cases where splashing can occur. On-Campus Distribution of Hazardous Chemicals Precautions must be taken when transporting hazardous substances between laboratories. Chemicals must be transported between stockrooms and laboratories in break-resistant, secondary containers such as commercially available bottle carriers made of rubber, metal, or plastic, that include carrying handle(s) and which are large enough to hold the contents of the chemical container in the event of breakage. When transporting cylinders of compressed gases, always secure the cylinder with straps or chains onto a suitable hand truck and protect the valve with a cover cap. Avoid dragging, sliding, or rolling cylinders and use a freight elevator when possible. The figure below illustrates correct cylinder transport. Correct Cylinder Transport Off Campus Distribution of Hazardous Chemicals The transportation of hazardous chemicals and compressed gases over public roads, or by air, is strictly governed by international, federal, and state regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Any person who prepares and/or ships these types of materials must ensure compliance with pertinent regulations regarding training, quantity, packaging, and labeling. Without proper training and packaging, it is illegal to ship hazardous materials. Those who violate the hazardous materials shipment regulations are subject to criminal investigation and penalties. UCR Material Management has trained personnel to ship hazardous and biological materials. EH&S has trained personnel to ship radioactive materials. Individuals who wish to ship or transport hazardous chemicals, compressed gases or biological materials off-campus, must contact UCR Materiel Management at 3134. Individuals who wish to ship radioactive materials off-campus must contact EH&S at 951-827-5528. Training Introduction Effective training is critical to facilitate a safe and healthy work environment and prevent laboratory accidents. All Faculty/Other Laboratory Supervisors must participate in formal safety training and ensure that all their employees have appropriate safety training before working in a laboratory. The UCR EH&S Training Program provides both classroom and online training to help meet this requirement and can be accessed at Types of Training All laboratory personnel must complete general laboratory safety training before: Beginning work in the laboratory; Prior to new exposure situations; and As work conditions change. Annual refresher training is also required for all laboratory personnel. EH&S offers online training, plus resource materials to assist laboratories in implementing laboratory-specific training.
