Material Safety Data Sheets. Each laboratory is required to maintain material safety data sheets (MSDSs) for all industrial and reagent chemicals stored or used at the facility. A representative of your host facility will show you the location of these MSDS sheets. MSDSs for chemicals used at Argonne can be obtained via the Chemical Management System website at: https://www.cms.anl.gov/ Transportation of Hazardous Materials. The transportation of any hazardous material on the Argonne site must be in accordance with Argonne requirements. Do not transport hazardous materials in your own vehicle. Contact your host for guidance. Transport of hazardous materials to/from the Argonne site must be done in compliance with US Department of Transportation regulations.
	Container Labeling. All reagent chemical containers must be labeled with the name of the reagent as it appears on the MSDS, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name of the person who is responsible for the container. In addition, if a chemical is peroxidizable, or otherwise becomes more dangerous with age, a "discard by" date must appear on the container.
Proper Attire. Proper attire for work in a laboratory setting includes closed-toes, covered-heel shoes and long pants. Sandals are not acceptable. Skirts may be worn if a lab coat is also worn. Safety glasses with sideshields must be worn in all chemical laboratories. Impervious gloves are required for work with hazardous materials. To enter a construction area, you must wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment. The posted entry requirements could include some or all of the following: Safety glasses with side shields A hard hat Leather safety shoes, preferably ones that cover the ankle Long pants A shirt with sleeves
