How to ensure the safety of textile testing laboratories?

Textile testing laboratory refers to laboratories engaged in the sensory and physical and chemical testing of textile raw materials, textile products, clothing and their feather down (hereinafter referred to as the laboratory)

 

1, the main activities of the laboratory

 

The main activity processes involved are the receipt and delivery of samples, the splitting of samples, the operation of instruments and equipment and the conduct of testing, the storage, use and waste disposal of chemical reagents, sample storage, etc. The main activities are.

 

(1) Sample reception and transfer: the reception of samples before the test, the process of transferring samples between functional chambers according to the provisions of the testing workflow.

 

(2) Sample splitting: splitting of samples into smaller samples of the size and quantity that meet the testing requirements.

(3) Operation of instruments and testing work: Conducting physical properties testing, color fastness testing, washing testing, fiber content and chemical analysis testing, microbiological testing, etc. of textile and apparel samples.

 

(4) Storage, use and waste disposal of chemical reagents: storage of chemical reagents to be used, use of chemical reagents during the test, and disposal of chemical waste after the test.

 

(5) Sample storage and disposal: storage and storage of samples in the sample library after testing, disposal of samples after the expiration of the specified storage period.

 

 

2、Hazard sources and their risk assessment

 

The occurrence of safety accidents in the testing laboratory is the result of the interlocking reflection of human, machine, material, law and environmental factors in the laboratory, and people play a decisive role in the occurrence and prevention of accidents. Therefore, the author closely analyzes each link of the personnel activity process in the textile testing laboratory, combining each functional room of textile testing to determine which sources of danger are present in each activity link, as well as the chance of occurrence of the source of danger and the corresponding risk level.
