Member Directory/NSH Teleconference: Safe Storage of Laboratory Chemicals
Presented by Peggy A. Wenk, HTL(ASCP)SLS, Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, MI
What chemicals can be stored next to each other? Which need to be stored separately? How much can be stored in a given area? Which chemicals need to be refrigerated? Is a special refrigerator needed? Which chemicals need to be stored in the dark? In the hood? In a cupboard under the counter? How should chemicals be labeled? How long can a chemical be kept before it goes bad? How do I keep track of all these chemicals? These are just a few of the questions that most lab techs face when trying to correctly store the myriad of chemicals found in a hospital, private or research laboratory. These and other questions related to the safe storage of chemicals will be addressed in this teleconference. (Note: 1 week early due to holiday)
