Labor protection requirements during work 3.1. Analytical laboratories should be kept clean and tidy. It is not allowed to clutter up corridors and entrances (exits) with any objects, materials, equipment. 3.2. All work related to the release of toxic or flammable vapors and gases should be carried out in fume hoods with local ventilation switched on. 3.3. It is not allowed to use fume hoods with broken glass or with faulty ventilation, as well as clutter fume hoods with utensils, cutlery and laboratory equipment not related to the work being performed. 3.4. Samples of petroleum products, flammable solvents, reagents should be stored in a special room located outside the analytical laboratory, equipped with exhaust ventilation and complying with fire safety regulations. 3.5. In the analytical laboratory, it is allowed to store oil products and reagents necessary for work in quantities not exceeding the daily requirement. 3.6. With the permission of the head of the analytical laboratory, it is allowed to store fuming acids, volatile reagents and solvents in fume hoods, while conducting analyzes in these cabinets is not allowed. If the laboratory has one fume hood, then the above reagents are stored in a specially designated room. 3.7. Samples and reagents should only be stored in sealed containers. It is not allowed to store flammable liquids in thin-walled glassware. Each container containing a chemical must be labeled with the name of the product. 3.8. Petroleum products, as well as flammable liquids, must be dehydrated prior to analysis requiring heating to avoid foaming and splashing. Heating and boiling of flammable liquids in the analytical laboratory is allowed only in a water bath or on a closed-type electric stove. It is not allowed to heat flammable liquids on an open fire, as well as on open electric stoves. 3.9. During work related to heating and subsequent condensation and cooling of vapors of petroleum products (distillation, determination of water content, etc.), it is necessary to first regulate the flow of water passing through the refrigerator, and only then turn on the electric heaters. 3.10. When distilling oil products, it is necessary to ensure that the receiving vessel is continuously cooled with water. In the event of a sudden interruption of the water supply, the heating of the product must be stopped. 3.11. The heating of the oil product should be carried out only in the presence of a laboratory assistant. Even before the laboratory assistant leaves for a short time, the heating source should be turned off. 3.12. Tanks, bottles and other containers for storing aggressive liquids should not be left even temporarily on work tables, in aisles and common areas. 3.13. Containers with aggressive liquids should be carried together using mechanized devices, on special stretchers, in baskets with a double bottom. 3.14. When transfusing and portioning aggressive liquids, use special safe funnels with curved edges and air outlet tubes. In the event of spillage, the liquid must be neutralized and the spill area thoroughly rinsed with water. 3.15. The place for pouring and dilution of acids and alkalis, as well as the places for their use, should be equipped with local exhaust ventilation, provided with clean rags and towels, a water hydrant with a rubber hose for washing hands and a fountain for washing eyes. 3.16. When working with acids and alkalis, rubber gloves and goggles should be worn. 3.17. Spilled acid should be covered with fine sand. Remove acid-soaked sand with a wooden spatula and cover this place with soda or lime, then rinse with water and wipe dry. 3.18. Grinding of caustic and toxic substances is carried out in closed mortars under draft in goggles and rubber gloves. A strict record of all toxic substances must be kept. Their issuance without the permission of the head of the analytical laboratory is not allowed. 3.19. The remains of oil products after analysis, spent reagents and toxic substances must be drained into a special metal container and transferred for regeneration or destruction. These liquids must not be discharged into the domestic sewer. 3.20. It is not allowed to drain the remains of alkali, acid and water into one vessel. 3.21. Laboratory glassware should be washed in a special washing room, separated from other working rooms of the laboratory by a blind fireproof partition and having an independent exit. The washing room must be equipped with independent supply and exhaust ventilation and exhaust ventilation from the place of washing dishes. 3.22. When transferring glass flasks with liquid, they must be held with two hands - one at the bottom, and the other at the neck. 3.23.
