Safety and Gantt Charts

• ChE 477 (UO Lab)
• Larry Baxter Stan Harding
• Brigham Young University

2
Outline

• Lab safety.
• General location of fire pulls (building exits).
• Fire extinguisher types and locations (four in
  lab).
• Safety standards organizations (ANSI, NFPA,
  etc.).
• Gantt charts.
• Project management triangle.
• Gantt charts.
• Microsoft project.

3
MSDS Sheets

• Written differently by different companies but
  should have similar information.
• Generally conservative.
• Often need interpretation by qualified
  professionals (you).

4
Origins of Safety Rules

• Desire to protect yourself and colleagues from
  undue hazards.
• Legal requirements.
• Threats of lawsuits.

5
The Origin of Safety Standards

• Congress writes laws.
• The executive (president and, in this case,
  department of labors occupational safety and
  health administration - OSHA) develop
  regulations.
• Non-government organizations develop standards.
• Courts (commonly) adjudicate differences.

6
OSHA Laws / Regulations

• OSHA regulations (standards - 29 CFR).
• Eye and face protection. - 1910.133.
• (A).
• General requirements.
• (A)(1).
• The employer shall ensure that each affected
  employee uses appropriate eye or face protection
  when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying

  potentially injurious light radiation.

7
OSHA Regulations (Contd)

• (A)(2).
• The employer shall ensure that each affected
  employee uses eye protection that provides side
  protection when there is a hazard from flying
  objects. Detachable side protectors (e.G. Clip-on
  or slide-on side shields) meeting the pertinent

8
OSHA Regulations (Contd)

• The employer shall ensure that each affected
  employee who wears prescription lenses while
  engaged in operations that involve eye hazards
  wears eye protection that incorporates the
  prescription in its design, or wears eye
  protection that can be worn over the prescription
  lenses without disturbing the proper position of
  the prescription lenses or the protective lenses.
• (A)(4).
• Eye and face PPE shall be distinctly marked to
  facilitate identification of the manufacturer.

9
OSHA Regulations (Contd)

• (B).
• Criteria for protective eye and face devices.
• (B)(1).
• Protective eye and face devices purchased after
  July 5, 1994 shall comply with ANSI Z87.1-1989,
  "American national standard practice for
  occupational and educational eye and face
  protection," which is incorporated by reference
  as specified in sec. 1910.6.
• (B)(2).
• Eye and face protective devices purchased before
  July 5, 1994 shall comply with the ANSI "USA

  1910.6, or shall be demonstrated by the employer

10
Standards Organization

• American national standards institute (ANSI).
• Safety glasses is standard Z87.
• Many other safety and non-safety related
  standards.
• National fire protection association (NFPA).
• Most fire-related standards.
• National electric code (NEC).

11
Standards Organization (Contd)

• Standards organizations are generally not
  government agencies and do not write laws or
  regulations.
• Standards acquire regulatory importance when
  cited in contracts or regulations/laws.

12
Project Organization

• Objective.
• Complete project safely, on time, within budget,
  and within specifications.
• Foresee projects future.

13

14
Steps to Manage Project

• Analyze project
