In many cases, routine operations may require maintenance in areas where hazardous chemicals, biological, or radioactive materials may be present. Consequently, it is important that these specific areas be free of any hazards prior to performing the operations. Typical areas include laboratories, laboratory fume hoods, cold rooms, and laboratory bench tops. Prior to allowing maintenance workers to conduct activities, you should remove any equipment or chemicals that can pose a threat to maintenance personnel.
What should I do if something needs to be repaired or replaced in my lab?
The first thing you should do is to call the Facilities Building Services hotline (713-500-FIXT) (3498).
然后，将生成工作订单并转发到适当的维护操作，或通过用于大型建筑项目的改建服务。如果问题是紧急情况，将立即进行维修。
我什么时候应该清除存在的任何危害的区域？
Please clear the area as soon as possible. If you can't clear the area before the maintenance person arrives, please call the FIXIT hotline to let them know you need additional time.
What if I have biological/chemicals/radioactive waste present?
All hazardous chemicals should be moved to another location within the lab and stored in an appropriate manner. If you need any assistance in moving or storing your chemicals, please contact the Chemical Safety Program office at 713-500-5832 and we will be glad to assist you. All hazardous waste can be disposed of by calling the Environmental Protection Program waste hotline 713-500-5837. Please see thewaste disposal procedures有关处理化学废物的其他说明。
What if I have been using radioactive materials in the area?
卸下所有放射性材料和设备。这包括您在工作表面上可能拥有的塑料备用的吸收材料。您还应该对区域进行擦除测试，以确保没有污染。如需额外的帮助，请致电辐射安全计划办公室713-500-5840。
如果需要，我们可以为您提供任何其他信息/说明。只需给我们打电话500-5832即可。
