Chemistry General

I've claustrophobia.

Christ above, the teaching labs I work in to show idiot freshman how to do basic titrations are more advanced than that

You cannot possibly do much chemistry in there because there is no fume hood and a window does not count

Where the fuck is your organic/corrosive PPE? Do they even require you wear goggles in this cupboard?

And what the fuck, is that a kitchen sink? Do you even have a dedicated haz waste container?

Also also do you even segregate chems according to reactive properties bruh? Or do you leave conc acid solns and your peroxides sitting right next to each other, OUTSIDE OF ANY FUCKING SECONDARY CONTAINMENT??

I would rape your lab if I was inspecting that shit, the only thing you have done right is not storing chems above eye level.

Where the fuck is your eye wash station ? Or chemical shower? What is your protocol for cleaning up hazardous spills and do you have any kit for doing so assembled in a reasonably nearby area?

It's a locally owned small chemical engineering firm. They don't have the budget for anything more complex so this is what I have to work with. I use almost all of the chemicals on the shelf in the original Pic related to test the pH of all of the solutions, plenty of titrations, and exo/endothermic reaction tests to keep all of their levels correctly maintained. Yeh it's not complex but it's still pretty fun

The sink leads to buckets directly under the sink which are dumped in evap tanks to be properly disposed of

Nigger does your CEO even know what the EPA is

Yes we have eye wash stations and showers on sight within reasonable distance.

Yes I recently helped compile an application for wastewater and hazardous materials disposal for the local environmental agency for the company I work for

OK fair enough but I'm still mad about your chems in the corner without any sort of storage segregation or classifying colored tape and outside of secondary containers, buy some plastic god damn totes and stick shit in them
