NEW – Chemical Incompatibility guide
Incompatible materials must be separated both in their primary and secondary containment
SCCO B11-286(e)
Provide secondary containment (e.g. impermeable tray) that is constructed of material that will not be structurally weakened from contact with the hazardous materials or large enough to contain either the 110% of the volume of the primary container, if holding a primary container or the larger of 150% of the volume of the larger primary container
SCCO B11-286(c)(2)
inspect using the BioRAFT application or the paper version. Fix any issues within 30 days and document the correction. Paper records must be kept on-site for three years.

Life Safety Boxes (LSBs), located outside of each room containing hazardous chemicals, provide room-specific chemical hazard information to emergency response personnel.
Hazard labels on the front of the Life Safety Boxes represent the different types of hazards that may be present within the lab. Update your LSB at least annually. Information in the LSBs includes:
- A cover page with hazard symbols representing the different types of hazards within the lab and a guide to hazard quantities (provided annually by EH&S once your chemical inventory is submitted to the state)
- Stanford University’s emergency contact form (or School of Medicine emergency contact form) Emergency Contact Sheets or SOM contact sheets
- Chemical storage map https://ehs.stanford.edu/forms-tools/blank-chemical-storage-map
Notes:
- If no changes are necessary (information is still current), initial and date the existing sheets
- An updated cover page and hazard quantities sheet(s) will be delivered by EH&S at a later date https://ehs.stanford.edu/request-a-life-safety-box-printout
