General information
Purchases for labs
Chemicals and equipment for the labs must be ordered by e-requisition (ENG/NO).
Order form for chemicals and SDS must be attached. E-requisitions without required attachments will be returned.
Instrument responsibility
List of instrument responsibilities (NO) and role description (ENG/NO).
Failure of technical installations - notification
See chapter "Acute failure of technical installations", wiki HSE at IBT.
Access to IBT laboratories
Access to the laboratories will be given by the lab coordinator after completion of training and handing in receipt for training and documentation for risk assessments.
- Download risk assessments for your lab (below) and go through them with your supervisor. Make your own file with relevant activities. Add any new activities.
- Download and read the general lab rules for IBT and the specific lab rules for your lab (below).
- Contact the lab coordinator of the relevant lab (see below) to make an appointment for lab/HSE training.
- You may receive links for relevant E-learning courses by E-mail. Complete these courses and download documentation (diploma).
- Hand in the documents after instructions from the lab coordinator. The lab coordinator can now give access to lab.
- After startup in lab, each lab user is responsible for update and storage of their personal risk assessment collection (e.g. on m:).
- General lab rules for IBT laboratories (ENG/NO). Se below for specific lab rules for each lab.
Gas distribution
- Labs in Kjemi 3 and K4 (K4.120 only) are supplied with CO2 and N2 from the distribution facility in Kjemi 5. Distribution of H2 and O2 are also prepared, but not connected.
- The distribution facility is operated by IKP (Department of Chemical Engineering). If you plan to use more gas than usual, contact the gas coordinator at IKP . If the central runs out of gas, you can ruin affected experiments and instruments (not only your own).
