glasspshrfirst time in my life I had to make a label for a chemical that includes the statement "fatal if inhaled”maybe I should include “do not taunt 70% glutaraldehyde”<a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChunderRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChunderRoad</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/chemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chemistry</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/labsafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labsafety</a>

It's very irresponsible. No one is monitoring the chemicals. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LabSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LabSafety</a>

Katrien M MichielsCan we please stop pretending brushing off the dust after using an analytical balance is good laboratory practice? It leaves the weighing space contaminated with all kinds of chemicals, stuff gets inside the weighing mechanism and it makes for generally disgusting balances.

LamialeScrolling thru a post in r/labrats about lab accidents. Was thinking about why it's mostly bio/biochem/chem fuckups. Remembering the lab tour I had on Monday in a material sci lab. Recalled the very hot glass tubes they use for making TMDs and graphene. A rather horrifying explanation pops up: either nobody have fucked up while working with these, or the people experiencing fuckups with these didn't survive to tell the tale. Well, I heard from my friend in another school about their labmates not following some rules and had a crucible lid shooting through the top of a muffle furnace, got stuck on the ceiling, proceed to fell off after a month and rekt the newly replaced furnace...<a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/LabSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LabSafety</a>

DoomsdaysCWThe Danger of ‘Invisible’ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biolabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biolabs</a> Across the U.S.Opinion by Dan Greene, August 31, 2023"Recently, many <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#California</a> residents were disturbed to learn that a small, privately-operated bio lab in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CentralValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CentralValley</a> town of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reedley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reedley</a> was shut down by Fresno County Department of Public Health officials after they found that it had been improperly managing almost 1,000 laboratory mice and samples of infectious diseases including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID19</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rubella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rubella</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/malaria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malaria</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dengue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dengue</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chlamydia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chlamydia</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hepatitis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hepatitis</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HIV</a>. The lab was registered to a company called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrestigeBiotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PrestigeBiotech</a> that sold a variety of medical testing kits, including for pregnancy and COVID-19, and it was likely storing disease samples for the purpose of developing and validating its testing kits. Government authorities are still investigating the company’s history, but it appears to have previously operated a lab in Fresno under the name Universal MediTech, where city officials flagged it for investigation regarding improperly stored chemicals."From what is publicly known, the Reedley lab should likely have followed proper biosafety practices to minimize the risks of an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/outbreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outbreak</a>, and it apparently failed to do so. It could have caused illness, disruption, or even death among local communities and beyond depending on the circumstances of an outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDC</a>) maintains a system of four 'Biosafety Level' standards that are used worldwide for work with dangerous pathogens. Based on the pathogens that were being used at the Reedley lab, it probably should have followed Biosafety Level 3, which involves controlling the airflow inside the lab as well as a host of other practices, equipment, and facility design requirements."Yet, astonishingly, the U.S. government seems to not have even known that the Reedley lab existed until it was discovered by chance by Jesalyn Harper, an observant local city code enforcement officer—the only such officer working full-time in the entire city. Once discovered, the Fresno County and California Departments of Public Health found it to be in violation of local and state codes, including those for registering clinical labs and managing medical waste. Based on our reading of available information, it was likely also in violation of federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations for protecting workers from bloodborne pathogens. But these codes require proactive reporting, and the lab simply never reported any issues to regulators. In slightly different circumstances, it would likely have continued to operate unnoticed for a long time."<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/the-danger-of-invisible-biolabs-across-the-u-s/ar-AA1g2xoJ?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=63e1f402a65c4defaf12a4efa4962d12&ei=7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/the-danger-of-invisible-biolabs-across-the-u-s/ar-AA1g2xoJ?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=63e1f402a65c4defaf12a4efa4962d12&ei=7</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BioHazard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BioHazard</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LabSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LabSafety</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pathogens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathogens</a> Potential <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pandemic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LabLeak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LabLeak</a>
