We have a variety of laboratories that work with chemicals that present acute hazards that require rapid response in case of exposure. Examples include HF and diisopropyl fluorophosphate among others. Some of our labs that use these chemicals have procured antidotes (such as calcium gluconate or atropine) for exposures to these chemicals and, for example, taped them to the fume hood where the material is used. We've noticed that these materials tend to be out of date when we discover them. Has anyone developed a program to manage this part of hazardous chemical use, such as identifying which chemicals require such a measure, assuring that the materials are kept up to date, and providing lab workers with training in their use? We're trying to assess what it would take to implement such a program here. Thanks for any information. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-5407
