What is the common biological threat? What should we do? How to prevent the biological threat? Scient ist have the obligations not to expose the community and environment with material (biological agents and chemicals) from the laboratory. Obligations in National framework have established the effective control of biological agents and the establishment of a sustainable laboratory biosafety and biosecurity culture. In addition, International requirements of Cartagena P r o t o co l, B i o lo g ica l Weapon Toxin Convention, International Health Regulation (IHR) and IATA too shall advocates biosafety and biosecurity cultures in Malaysia. Therefore, the concept and term of Biorisk Management (BRM) is int roduced f or the effective ways in the implementation of biosafety cultures in an organization. The intensive biosafety course in Malaysia was successfully conducted by an experienced and professional Biosafety Officer from USA. Dr Robert Heckert from Robert Heckert Consulting, Jeffery Owens, Halley Smith, Eric Cook, LouAnn Burnett and Hillary Hager from Sandia National Laboratories. “Biorisk Management(BRM)??” Integration of Biosafety and Biosecurity………... Biorisk Management provides the tools in managing biological treats. It can identify, monitor and control the laboratory biosafety and biosecurity aspects of its activities. Effective management system should be built on the concept of continual improvement. The Plan-Do-CheckAct (PDCA) cycle is of the best principle in order to meet the goals. In order to improve the BRM, an organization needs to focus on the causes of non-conformities and undesirable events. Systematic identification and correction of the system deficiencies leads to improve performance and Key to a Succesful BRM………... DEFINITION BIOSAFETY The Malaysian Biosafety and Biosecurity Association (MBBA) is a non-profit organization based in Malaysia. The organization promotes awareness in biosafety and biosecurity BIOSECURITY in Malaysia through activities of the society. In conjunction of promoting biosafety and biosecurity, MBBA had organized a short four semester course, “Advanced Biosafety Officer Training” that was sponsored by Biosafety Engagement Programme (BEP), USA. The training programme was held in Wisma R&D, University of Malaya. Measures taken to protect personnel, community and environment from unintentional release of pathogen / toxin Measures taken to protect the pathogen / toxin from threats that may result in intentional release to cause harm BIORISK Integrated management strategies on safe and secured measures to eliminate/ reduce un-intentional and intentional release of pathogen / toxin Key Component of BRM Step 1: ASSESSMENT ( RISK ASSESSMENT) A systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in an activity or undertaking. Simple tools such as Job Safety Analysis (JSA) are useful in identifying and characterizing the risk. Step 2: MITIGATION The control measures taken to minimize or eliminate the risk. This will include the administrative controls, engineering controls, SOPs and PPE. Step 3: PERFORMANCE AMP MODEL BRM shall be based on a continual improvement system. Controls, assurance and improvement shall be the key component in the on-going process. STEP 1: Risk Assessment WHAT A systematic process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in an activity or undertaking Forms an integral part of a good OSH and biorisk management plan, determines if existing control measures are adequate or if more should be done Before you initiate work which presents a risk By those who are most familiar with the activity, project or equipment being assessed or who create the risk Where the process/protocol/operation/activity is carried out WHO OWNS THE RISK?? A good risk assessment procedure needs to involve all the laboratory personnel that handle the biological material. STEP 2: Mitigation GOOD SOPs?? A good SOP are clear, concise and user friendly but it will be meaningless without proper TRAINING. STEP 3: Performance Why Do We Need Continuous Improvement ……. 1- Avoid recurring incidents or accidents from happening 2– Improves accountability 3- Ensure safe environment and high quality of services 4- Meet external standards and regulations 5- Improved staff morale 6- Allows creative and innovative solutions Performance measurement and analysis of data The organization shall ensure that appropriate data are determined, collected and analysed to assess the suitability and effectiveness of the biorisk management system and to evaluate where CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT of the system can be made. BRM is the solution…. Biorisk Management for a Safer World HAMIDAH NAIM BINTI MUHAMAD RIZAM BIOSAFETY OFFICER PELARUT OLEH : S. JAYASILAN, KIMIA MELAKA Bahan kimia adalah bahan yang sering kali digunakan untuk menjalankan analisis. Menurut artikel Dr. Raymond Agius dari Jabatan Sains Kesihatan Masyarakat Universiti Perubatan Edinburg, mereka yang bekerja di persekitaran industri akan kerap bersentuhan dan terdedah kepada bahan kimia yang mengandungi pelbagai pelarut. Ini sama seperti mereka yang menjalankan analisis di dalam makmal. Pendedahan ini akan menyebabkan pelbagai risiko yang mana boleh membahayakan anggota badan manusia. Bagi menjamin keselamatan dan kesihatan, pengetahuan dan pemahaman mengenai cara pengendalian dan sifat bahan kimia seperti pelarut adalah perlu bagi mengatasi bahaya kimia. Cara pengendalian yang selamat dan betul terhadap bahan kimia dan pelarut yang digunakan, dapat mengatasi bahaya pendedahan terhadap bahan kimia tersebut. Pengendalian di sini bermaksud, penyimpanan, penggunaan di dalam makmal dan pembuangan sisa bahan kimia. APAKAH ITU PELARUT??? Pelarut (english=Solvent) ialah bahan kimia yang kebanyakannya digunakan untuk melarutkan, mencairkan dan mengekstrak bahan lain tanpa mengubah bahan tersebut secara kimia (Dr. F Dick, 2006). Selalunya, pelarut terdapat dalam bentuk cecair tetapi ia juga ada terdapat dalam bentuk pepejal ataupun gas. Merujuk kepada Stanley E. Manahan dalam bukunya yang bertajuk Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry, pelarut berperanan sebagai medium dalam tindak balas kimia. Dalam industri kimia pula, pelarut digunakan untuk proses penulenan, pembersihan, pengasingan dan lain-lain. APAKAH JENIS-JENIS PELARUT??? Secara umumnya, pelarut terbahagi kepada dua kategori iaitu; Aqueous (water-based) Contoh: Air Organik (hydrocarbon-based) Contoh: Acetone, Benzene, Toluene, Methanol, Hexane, Ethanol dan lain-lain. Walau bagaimanapun, pelarut organik adalah pelarut yang paling banyak terdapat dan kerap digunakan dalam sesuatu proses kimia. Kesemua ciri-ciri pelarut boleh memberikan kesan bahaya kepada kesihatan manusia. Pendedahan yang terlalu kerap kepada pelarut akan membahayakan anggota badan manusia. Merujuk kepada artikel dari Unit Kesihatan Alam Sekitar, Brisbane (2002), ciri-ciri pelarut antaranya ialah; Meruap: Pelarut organik terutamanya ialah pelarut yang mempunyai ciri-ciri meruap. Kemeruapan pelarut yang tinggi akan menyebabkan kepekatan wap yang tinggi di udara yang mana akan mendatangkan bahaya kepada kesihatan anggota badan. Melarut Air dan Lemak: Pelarut yang melarutkan air dan lemak boleh membahayakan kepada anggota badan manusia melalui penyerapan pada kulit. Mudah Terbakar dan Meletup: Pelarut akan mudah terbakar dan meletup jika didedahkan kepada api. Ini akan menyebabkan berlakunya kebakaran. *Rujukan: 1.

Brisbane (2002), Organic Solvents, Retrieved February 16, 2014 from http://www.health.qld.gov.av/documents/ehu/2688.pdf MENGAPAKAH PELARUT BAHAYA KEPADA KITA??? Pelarut mungkin berfaedah kepada sesuatu analisis yang dijalankan di dalam makmal tetapi kita tidak tahu yang pelarut boleh mendatangkan bahaya kepada anggota badan kita. Menurut sumber daripada portal Canadian Centre for Occupational Safety and Health (CCOSH), pelarut boleh memasuki anggota badan dengan beberapa cara iaitu melalui pernafasan, pemakanan, penyerapan kulit dan juga suntikan. Merujuk artikel David Wright (2010), pelarut adalah berbahaya kerana pelarut boleh menguraikan lemak. Semakin mudah mereka menguraikan, semakin mudah mereka diserap oleh badan dan lebih berkeupayaan untuk mempengaruhi sistem saraf. Keupayaan untuk menguraikan lemak membuat pelarut berguna dalam industri, tetapi adalah salah satu daripada sebab-sebab utama pelarut begitu berbahaya jika diserap atau ditelan ke dalam badan. Pelarut yang meruap dengan cepat akan membentuk wap di udara, yang mana mudah dihidu dan kemudian akan melalui aliran darah melalui paru-paru. Pelarut juga boleh memasuki badan melalui pemakanan apabila pekerja itu menyentuh makanan atau rokok dengan jari yang tercemar. Pelarut yang diserap kulit akan bergerak melalui saluran darah yang mana boleh memberi kesan kepada seluruh badan. Apabila di dalam badan, pelarut boleh menyebabkan kesan jangka pendek atau masalah jangka panjang selepas pendedahan berulang. Kesan jangka pendek yang dimaksudkan ialah sakit kepala, mengantuk, loya dan dermatitis. Pendedahan kepada tahap pelarut yang tinggi akan menyebabkan seseorang tidak sedarkan diri dan mendorong kepada kematian. Walaubagaimanapun, pendedahan kepada pelarut yang berulang-ulang walaupun pada tahap yang rendah akan menjejaskan otak dan sistem saraf pusat, jantung, hati, paru-paru, buah pinggang dan kesuburan manusia (W. David, 2010). BAGAIMANAKAH CARA-CARA UNTUK MENGATASI BAHAYA PELARUT??? Cara-cara untuk mengatasi dan mengawal bahaya pelarut adalah seperti; Sisa Buangan: 1) Bekas sisa buangan pelarut mestilah diletakkan di tempat yang sejuk dan jauh daripada kawasan yang terdedah kepada haba termasuk cahaya matahari. Ini kerana pelarut adalah bahan kimia mudah terbakar dan meletup jika didedahkan kepada api. 2) Tidak memenuhkan bekas sisa buangan pada tahap yang maksimum kerana ia akan menyebabkan sisa buangan tersebut melimpah terutamanya ketika mengangkatnya. 3) Buka penutup bekas sisa buangan dengan berhati-hati dan perlahan-lahan untuk melepaskan gas dari dalam bekas. *Rujukan: 4.

David Wright (2010), Health & Safety; Solvent Health Hazards. Retrieved February 17, 2014 from http:// www.satra.co.uk Perlindungan di Tempat Kerja: 1) Membaca kandungan yang dilabelkan pada bekas bahan kimia dengan berhati-hati. Pastikan memahami amaran yang dinyatakan di label tersebut. 2) Mengendalikan analisis yang menggunakan pelarut di bawah kebuk wasap. 3) Menutupi semua bahagian kulit dengan memakai sarung tangan (gloves) semasa mengendalikan setiap analisis. Juga, memakai baju lengan panjang, seluar panjang, stokin, kasut bertutup dan topi keselamatan (ketika bekerja di luar makmal). 4) Memakai goggles keselamatan dan alat perlindungan diri (PPE) yang lain ketika mengendalikan analisis yang menggunakan bahan kimia yang berbahaya. Basuh dengan sabun dan air jika terkena percikan bahan kimia. 5) Memakai topeng muka semasa mengendalikan analisis terutamanya menggunakan pelarut yang meruap. 6) Elakkan merokok. Jangan merokok ketika bekerja di kawasan yang berkemungkinan terdedah kepada kebakaran. Kesimpulannya, pendedahan kepada pelarut dan bahan kimia yang lain boleh menyebabkan pelbagai masalah kesihatan dan keselamatan pekerja. Oleh yang demikian, setiap pekerja mestilah mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga dan mematuhi segala arahan yang telah ditetapkan terutamanya apabila berada di kawasan yang berisiko tinggi kepada bahaya. Cara pemakaian dan pengendalian semasa analisis di dalam makmal perlulah dititikberatkan demi kepentingan bersama. Berikut adalah jenis-jenis pelarut beserta ciri-ciri, cara pengendalian dan cara pelupusannya; *Sumber: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/71.91133/Common-Solvent-Risk-Assessments---COSHH-for-common-solvents Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) - What Laboratories Need To Know By: Wan Shahida binti Wan Ali, OSH Unit What is GHS?

Toxic Irritant Explosive Corrosive Oxidizing Health Hazards Flammable Environmental Gas Under Hazard Pressure Handling of Compressed Gas Cylinder OLEH : S. JAYASILAN, KIMIA MELAKA Compressed Gas Cylinder is used in many workplaces, including chemical testing laboratories. Its use involves work processes such as handling, transferring, and storage of the compressed gas cylinder. There are several hazards that the handler may be exposed to. According to an article published by the Health and Safety Executive, accidents involving gas cylinders can cause serious injury or even death. The hazards that are associated with compressed gases include oxygen displacement, explosion hazards, toxic effect of some gases, as well as the physical hazards of a ruptured cylinder. Due to the nature of gas cylinders, special precautions in handling of compressed gas cylinder are necessary. :: Definition: According to an article that authored by Darrell Hart (2012), Compressed Gas Cylinder is defined as: Any contained mixture or material with either an absolute pressure exceeding 275.8 kPa at 21oC or an absolute pressure exceeding 717 kPa at 54oC, or both, or any liquid having an absolute vapor pressure exceeding 275.8 kPa at 37.8oC. :: uses of compressed gas cylinder: According to the article of Health and Safety Executive, United Kingdom (2002), gas cylinders are a convenient way to transport and store gases under pressure. These gases are used for many different purposes including: Chemical processes; Soldering, welding and flame cutting; Breathing (e.g. diving, emergency rescue); :: CONTENTS AND TYPES of compressed gas: Medical and laboratory uses; Dispensing beverages; Fuel for vehicles (e.g. fork-lift trucks); Based on the article published by the Office of Extinguishing fires; Environmental Health and Safety, Virginia Commonwealth University, there are almost 200 different types of materials in gas cylinders including; Water treatment. - Atmospheric gases - Fuel gases - Refrigerant gases - Poison gases - Miscellaneous gases Heating and cooking; Compressed gases are usually divided into six basic categories. They are: - Flammable Gases - Oxygen and Oxidizing Gases - Acid and Alkaline Gases - Highly Toxic Gases :: components of compressed gas cylinder : safety-back construction. When subject to excessively Compressed Gas Cylinder is equipped with a gas high pressure, the light-metal safety back will blow off regulator. According to an article from the University to relieve the pressure (Darrell Hart, 2012). of Saskatchewan, gas regulators are used to reduce the high pressure of a compressed gas cylinder to safe and Always use the proper regulator for the gas in useable pressure. The main components of a typical gas cylinder and regulator assembly are as shown in the cylinder as they are designed to provide the correct flow rate for that particular gas. Using the Figure 1. wrong regulator may cause some gases to react with Cylinder regulators have a relief device to the materials inside the regulator. For example, prevent excessive pressure from developing. High materials used in some regulators are not designed for pressure cylinder regulator gauges have a solid-front, oxygen and could ignite causing a fire or explosion.

Image Darrell Hart (2012). :: hazardous of compressed gas cylinder : The handling of compressed gases must be considered more hazardous than the handling of liquid and solid materials because of the following properties unique to compressed gases: pressure, low flash points for flammable gases, low boiling points, and no visual and/or odour detection of many hazardous gases (Matheson, 2011). a) Pressure Hazards: All compressed gases are hazardous due to the high pressure inside the cylinder. Its hazards may arise as a result of equipment failure and leakage from systems that are not pressure tight. Damage to the cylinder valve can result in a rapid release of the high pressure gas, propelling the cylinder and causing personal injury and damage to property. Also, diffusion of leaking gases may cause rapid contamination of the atmosphere, giving rise to toxicity and rapid formation of explosive concentrations of flammable gases. b) Fire and Explosion Hazards: Flammable gases such as acetylene, butane and hydrogen can burn or explode under certain conditions. When the leaking gas, especially flammable gases, are allowed to accumulate until their concentration is between their defined Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) and Upper Explosion Limit (UEL), an explosion may occur if there is an ignition source present (Darrell Hart, 2012). c) Health Hazards: According to article of Darrell Hart (2012), many gases are toxic and can cause serious health problems, depending upon the specific gas, its concentration, length of exposure, and route of entry. Health symptoms of exposure to gases can be immediate, or delayed. Material with low boiling point can also cause frostbite on contact with living tissue. This is common among the cryogenic liquids such as nitrogen and oxygen, but it also can result from contact of the liquid phase of liquefied gases such as carbon dioxide, fluorocarbons, and propylene (Matheson, 2012). d) Chemical Burn Hazards: Some compressed gases are similar to other chemicals in that they are corrosive, irritating, and highly reactive. They can burn or damage skin on contact, burn the eyes or lungs if inhaled, as well as attack and corrode metals. e) Asphyxiation Hazards: Asphyxiation is the main hazard associated with inert gases such as helium, argon, and nitrogen (Darrell Hart, 2012). If these gases escape undetected into the atmosphere, they can quickly reduce the oxygen level to concentrations below that is required for breathing. f) Physical Hazards: Compressed gas cylinders can be large, heavy and awkward to handle. Improper handling, or not properly securing cylinders while in use, can cause cylinders to fall, and causing injury to workers. For example, the cylinder valve may hit the worker’s head, especially during transportation. :: PRECAUTIONS: HANDLING: - Read all label information and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) associated with the gas being used. - Know and understand the properties, uses, and safety precautions of the gas before using the cylinder. - Use gas cylinders in a vertical position. - Always double check that the cylinder/gas is the right one for the intended use. - Wear suitable safety shoes and other personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling gas cylinders. Gas masks should be kept available for immediate use when working with toxic gases. - Close the cylinder valve and replace dust caps, where provided, or when a gas cylinder is not in use. - Fit cylinders with residual pressure valves (non-return valves) to reduce the risk of back flow of water or other materials into the cylinder that might corrode it while in use. - Use compressed gases cylinder only in a well -ventilated area. Toxic, flammable, and corrosive gases should be carefully handled in a hood. - Open cylinder valves SLOWLY. - Close valves on empty cylinders and mark the cylinder "empty" with the initials "M.T." MOVING: - Move cylinders using a suitable hand truck or cart. Ensure the cylinder is secured to the cart during transport with a chain or strap. - Fit suitable protective valve caps and covers to cylinders, before transporting. - Remove the regulator. Move a cylinder without the regulator attached. - Use extreme care and restrict the movement of cylinder gas to localize movement on clean, smooth, level stationary surfaces. - Stay out of the tank’s travel path and also be aware of escape routes should the tank get out of control or start falling. STORAGE: - Store cylinders upright with valve outlet seals and valve protection caps in place. - Gas cylinders must be secured in an upright position by a cylinder stand, clamp, chain or cable at a point approximately 2/3 of the height of the cylinder - Store cylinders in a dry, cool, well-ventilated, secure area protected from the weather and away from combustible materials. - Store cylinders away from heavily traveled areas and emergency exits. - Store cylinders in areas where there are no activities that could damage or contaminate the cylinders. - Gas cylinders containing flammable gas should not be stored in part of a building used for other purposes. - Ensure the valve is kept shut on empty cylinders to prevent contaminants getting in. - Cylinders should not be exposed to continuous dampness, stored near salt or other corrosive chemicals or fumes. Corrosion may damage cylinders and cause their valve protection caps to stick. :: REFERENCE: Darrell, H. (2012). Compressed Gas Cylinder Safe Handling, Use and Storage.
