11 Wax Pick Test The surface bonding strength of paper is a measure of its resistance to separation of coating or fibers or to any cleavage parallel to the sheet surfaces. Safety glasses ethanol flame Accidents should be reported to course instructor or lab manager. Category Type Category Type

12 Air Permeability Paper and other porous sheet materials permit air to flow through under a pressure difference across the sheet. This property is commonly called air permeability. Hazardous Chemicals/Chemicals Classes Personal Protective Equipment Special Handling and Storage Requirements Spill and Accident Procedures oil safety glasses oil splatter, pressurized air Never raise the inner cylinder with the sample still clamped; this would cause an oil spill. The proper procedure is to first unclamp the specimen and then to raise the inner cylinder. Precautions should be taken to avoid subjecting the apparatus to vibration. Accidents should be reported to course instructor or lab manager. Category Type Category Type

14 Bulking Thickness & Bulking Factor The measurement of bulking thickness is used for finding the average thickness of paper when placed in a pile, as for use in books. safety glasses pinch Accidents should be reported to course instructor or lab manager. Category Type Category Type

15 Taber Stiffness Test Characterizes the resistance of paper and paperboard to a bending force (force applied perpendicular to the plane of the strip) safety glasses moving parts All accidents should be reported to the course instructor or lab manager. Category Type Category Type

16 Lhomargy Bending Stiffness Tester Measures specific flexural rigidity; covers a wider range of stiffness values safety glasses pinch Accidents should be reported to the course instructor or lab manager. Category Type Category Type

22 There are two types of evacuation: Evacuation Plan Department of Wood and Paper Science August General: All building occupants must evacuate. The General Evacuation Routes are marked on the Evacuation Plan map located in each lab s safety plan or in the hallways of each floor. All occupants shall exit the building immediately when a fire alarm is sounded and gather outside at Hodges Wood Products Lab where they will await further instruction. Instructors are responsible for ensuring their classes evacuate, and employees who are hosting visitors should escort them safely out of the building. Public Safety will advise when it is safe to return. Turn off all power and gas lines before evacuating if it can be done safely, and close all doors (offices/labs/fire doors). 2. Local: Occupants of the lab must evacuate. Local evacuations do not require exit from the building. Occupants of the lab should gather outside the lab entrance and await further direction. Avoid hindering any emergency operations in progress. In any evacuation, do not leave the designated meeting area. Your absence will be interpreted that you are still in the danger area and one or more persons may risk their lives looking for you. WHEN TO EVACUATE: 1. Fire of any nature. Activate pull station and proceed with general evacuation of the building. Phone Public Safety (911) from another building immediately. 2. Chemical spill. Since generally small quantities of chemicals are handled in the lab, spills are likely to be relatively small in volume, and may not require evacuation. Spills of fuming acids, such as concentrated hydrochloric acid, may require local evacuation, with re-entry when spill is properly contained and cleaned up. 3. Gas leak from cylinders or gas line. Scale of evacuation will depend on seriousness of leak and nature of gas. Minor gas leaks from cylinders may not require evacuation, but rather simply removal of the cylinder outdoors for pick-up by Central Stores (ext ). Cylinder rupture or valve breakage, or gas line rupture dictate evacuation. Open windows if possible. If the gas is reactive, corrosive, or highly flammable, general evacuation should proceed. Less reactive gases may dictate local evacuation. In the event of any gas leak, notify Barbara White or Dr. Orlando Rojas. 4. Power interruption: If fume hood blowers are not functioning as a result of a power interruption, open windows, make sure switches are left ON, and immediately proceed with local evacuation. Close lab entrance door. Do not enter room after power is restored; wait until notified by Public Safety that it is safe to return.

23 Emergency Facilities Closure Plan Department of Wood and Paper Science 1228 Biltmore Hall/Pulp and Paper (Pawlak) November 7, 2008 The actions listed below would be completed during an Emergency Alert Level 2 or Level 3 incident as declared by the Chancellor or his designate. This emergency alert information would be available on the website or through the Wolf Alert System (text messages). Please be aware that the unpredictable events of nature do not always allow for an orderly progression for emergency response as outlined below. In that event, prudent safety practices would dictate the appropriate response, meaning that departmental personnel should not risk personal injury to protect property. Materials Needed: Plastic sheeting to cover all paper testing equipment (see safety plan for complete list), balances, computers, and printers (NOTE TO SELF---be sure to include information on whether/how to shut down the environmental control system) Labels and markers Tape Flash drive or cds Emergency Closure Procedure: 1. Ensure that the contact information on the door is correct: names/phone numbers for Dr. Joel Pawlak and Linda McMurray. 2. Remove all items from the floors (including paper samples and equipment) to ensure aisles are clear for emergency personnel to operate if necessary and to protect from possible water damage. 3. Suspend analysis on equipment at the end of the current sample being analyzed as noted in the instrument manuals and/or standard operating procedures (SOPs) current list of equipment is available from the safety plan. 4. Disconnect tubing for each piece of equipment from the air connections. 5. Remove lab notebooks from the lab areas and store in plastic bags in a secure area. Label contents of the bags. 6. Ensure that all gas cylinders are properly secured, the valves are closed, regulators are removed, and caps are installed. 7. Back up all computers on a flash drive or a cd. Take these back-ups with you to a secure location. 8. Unplug all electrical equipment. 9. After unplugging equipment, computers, and printer, cover each piece with plastic sheeting, taping down the edges. 10. Make sure all utilities are closed (gas, air, water).
