SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Balancing Loads: Critical with large capacity rotors. Balance tubes precisely by weight; use balance scale for accuracy. Imbalance can cause catastrophic rotor failure.
Rotor Capacity: Never exceed maximum rated sample volume or tube count for specific rotor.
Tube Compatibility: Use only tubes and bottles rated for the speed and RCF generated.
Rotor Inspection: Inspect rotors and buckets before each use for corrosion, cracks, or wear. Replace immediately if damaged.
Aerosol Safety: Use sealed buckets or aerosol-tight rotors for infectious samples (blood, body fluids, cultures).
Lid Lock: Never attempt to open the lid while the rotor is spinning; wait for complete stop.
Overloading: Never exceed rotor's maximum rated speed or sample weight.
Training: Only trained personnel should operate large capacity centrifuges.
Emergency Procedures: Know location and operation of emergency lid release.
Maintenance: Regular professional maintenance essential for safe operation.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Tube Breakage During Run: Stop centrifuge immediately. Do not open the lid for 30 minutes to allow aerosol settling. Wear full PPE (gloves, mask, eye protection, gown). Carefully remove broken tube fragments and contaminated materials. Disinfect rotor, buckets, and bowl thoroughly.
Major Rotor Failure: If rotor fails during operation (loud noise, severe vibration), stop immediately if safe. Evacuate area; do not open the lid for 30 minutes. Call for professional service; document incident.
Chemical Spill: Follow chemical spill protocol; use appropriate PPE and absorbent materials.
Biohazard Spill: Contain with absorbent material; disinfect area with 10% bleach solution; dispose as biohazard waste.
Electrical Malfunction: Disconnect power; do not use until serviced by qualified personnel.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: Electrical components and plastic parts combustible.
Extinguishing Media: For electrical fire, use CO₂ or dry chemical (Class C) extinguisher; water may be used for surrounding materials.
Power Off: Disconnect power if safe to do so.
Large Equipment: Consider access for firefighting; ensure clear area around equipment.
