Lisa and Judy - have emailed you. :)

Labbie - Having some trouble with the PM - I tried to attach the file and it won't 'appear' anywhere on the message to say it's attached, and the PM won't send either. Do you want to PM me an email address and I'll try that way? Or I can wait and try again later...

Sure, no problem :wink2:

By the way, does anyone know HOW I might go about deciding what my mystery bottle of 'phosphoric acid?' is?? I'd like to think something will be done about it before the next inspection in five years :cheesy:

You're welcome :D

The OH&S co-ordinator here was delighted with the layout, as I had simply copied the formatting from all of the school's other policy docs, so she wasn't going to have to re-type it into the proper format! Besides, it looks more 'official' :giggle:

Hi Megs,

I too seem to spend my time planning and re-planning all of these safety documents. I would love to get a copy of yours.

Thanks

Hi Meg,
I would love a copy of both your Chemical Policy, and your SWPs. I am going through all of this stuff too, and any help is great!! Please email lisa.johnston@valleyview.sa.edu.au
Regarding your Phosphoric Acid, if there is not too much of it, perhaps you could further dilute it down, and flush down the sink with lots of water. While it's not ideal, it's better than having unidentified chemicals sitting around, particularly if it's in an open container that could be knocked over, and create another hazard.
Cheers and Thankyou,
Lisa

I would suggest testing the pH, then neutralising it before tipping it down the sink.
And thanks, Meg, for the policy documents. Very well done.

Hi Meg
Could I also have a look at your document. Always helps me to see how other people do this kind of stuff!

Thanks, I'll test the pH and go from there...

If I can work out how - I'll upload the few SWP's I have to the site, I'm sure people have different ways of doing these things so you might have to 'personalise' them for your department, but the template is there anyway.

I'll just email the Chemicals Policy to anyone who wants it, though :D I've sent it through to everyone who has asked so far, let me know if it hasn't come through!

Okay - here's the SWP's (if this works!)

they are veeery basic, I just laminated them and put them up in the sink area as a sort of 'reminder', although anyone who has been in this job a while would be able to do this stuff in their sleep :wink2:

Still, paperwork keeps the powers-that-be happy, and there's nothing like coloured, laminated, prominently-displayed paperwork to set their hearts a-flutter! :wub: :lol:

Hi! Just back from holidays, and have caught up on the emailing. Let me know if you've requested a copy and it hasn't come through :mail:

vlclabbie (Kel) - that is a fantastic idea! :clap3: Why don't people post some ideas for Safe Work Procedures that it would be good to have, and then we can divvy them up, do them and upload them into a single thread?
