5

key scope areas

Focus on the areas that have the greatest impact on your risk posture.

  • Unclear experiment steps or unreviewed changes
  • Exposure to substances produced or used during the experiment
  • Unexpected heat, pressure, electricity or moving equipment
  • Incompatible materials introduced during setup
  • Glassware or apparatus failure

  • 1

    Define the experiment, quantities, sequence and foreseeable deviations before work

    Shows the primary activity-specific control is established.

  • 2

    Review SDS information and compatibility for all materials

    Confirms the relevant equipment, materials, systems, or arrangements are suitable.

  • 3

    Inspect apparatus, connections, guards and energy sources before operation

    Supports review of how the identified exposure or operational risk is managed.

  • 4

    Use suitable ventilation, containment and splash protection

    Provides traceable evidence for the assessment and its safeguards.

  • 5

    Set operating limits and stop criteria for heat, pressure or reaction changes

    Helps confirm the control is applied and remains effective in practice.
