Solvents packaged in glass bottles may only be carried out of storeroom in a safety carrier, the original packaging it was shipped in, or other suitable container. If you do not have a suitable safety carrier you must purchase one before we can let you walk out with the solvent.
Gas cylinders can only be transported using approved methods. Cylinder carts must have adequate straps or chains to ensure safety. If you are transporting cylinders in a vehicle, you are responsible for knowing the proper safety procedures. Chemistry Stores will not be responsible if you improperly transport cylinders.
Gas cylinder leaks should be reported immediately to EH&S or to DPS after business hours. The proper procedure is outlined on the EH&S website
