Gerenciamento de produtos químicos no laboratório de ensino em engenharia química- LEEQ

Abstract

Faced with the need to avoid accidents, teaching laboratories are work environments that require safety measures and routines to guarantee the physical integrity of people who carry out activities on site. Thus, chemical safety must be present in all activities involving chemical products in order to guarantee the safety of human health and the environment. Chemical products are present in practical activities used in teaching laboratories in order to develop students' ability to observe, analyze and understand. Thus, laboratories are places where all care must be taken due to the presence of reagents. These, when handled, stored and disposed of incorrectly, can cause damage to the handler's safety and the environment. The present work aimed to propose measures to assist in the management of chemical products in the Teaching Laboratory in Chemical Engineering, located at the Federal University of Alagoas. Safety in the laboratory environment was evaluated and, as a basis for this evaluation, concepts associated with three points were used, namely: chemical products, storage of reagents and proper labeling of these products and technical safety standards.
