化學系各位成員大家好：
7/3(一)晚間，系館發生2-丁二硫醇(2-butanethiol)意外打破的事故，
異味影響系館5樓~7樓的人員，所幸同學們有遵守「戴護目鏡、穿實驗衣、戴手套、穿包鞋、穿長褲」的規定，
並用化學吸附劑清理現場，才沒有傳出進一步的災害。
近期新成員們陸續來到實驗室，再次請大家注意，進行化學研究時發生意外是難以避免的，
重要的是切實遵守本系環安衛的規定。進行實驗時請穿著可遮蔽身體的衣物，佩戴所有防護裝備，
並且進行實驗時，實驗室中至少要有兩個以上人員，方可進行實驗。
若實驗過程發生意外可能影響系館其他實驗室，請成員記得在line群組上發布公告，
並依SDS指示，使用實驗室或各樓層工安櫃的吸附劑(有中和及螯合的功能)進行除汙，
傷者可以使用系館常備的「敵腐靈」或「六氟靈」沖洗傷口後盡速送醫。
並在事故發生後即時通知PI及系方的安衛人員。
安全並有創造力的研究環境是可以兼顧的，如果您有任何問題或疑慮，
請隨時聯繫系環安衛小組。

Dear all,
The EHS-CHEM team would like to inform you about an incident that occurred in the department building on the night of 7/3 (Mon). Unfortunately, a bottle of 2-butanethiol was accidentally broken by some students, resulting in the spread of its odor to the 5th to 7th floors. However, no one was harmed during this incident as the students involved followed the safety regulations diligently, including wearing goggles, lab coats, gloves, closed shoes, and long trousers. They immediately cleaned up the laboratory using chemical adsorbents to prevent further odor dispersion.
As the laboratory has recently welcomed several new members, we would like to stress the importance of adhering strictly to the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) regulations. Accidents are an inherent risk when conducting chemical research, and it is crucial that we take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of ourselves and others. Always remember to wear all protective equipment without exception while conducting experiments and never carry out experiments alone. In the event of an accident that may impact other laboratories within the department, please make it a priority to post an announcement in the LINE group immediately.
In case of chemical spills, please refer to the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for proper guidance and utilize the adsorbents available in the laboratory or the safety cabinets on each floor for decontamination purposes. If a chemical spill occurs on your body, it is essential to promptly wash the affected area using "Diphoterine" or "Hexafluorine" from the department's safety cabinet and seek medical attention without delay. Additionally, please ensure that both the Principal Investigator (PI) and the EHS personnel of the department are immediately notified regarding any accidents.
Let us prioritize safety and maintain a proactive approach to ensure a secure and productive research environment. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the EHS-CHEM department.
Stay safe!
EHS-CHEM Team
