Oven SOP
Oven SOP
Oven SOP
Purpose
To outline the procedures for the safe use of ovens within the Lab.
General Hazards
Items under pressure (e.g. compressed air cans) must not be placed in the oven. Items that
have potentially dangerous vapors or can change phase into hazardous gases must not be
placed in the oven. Mixtures of chemicals that react energetically in the presence of heat must
not be placed in the oven. If the oven contains components that can form a vacuum in the
oven chamber, caution must be taken to ensure that the components that create the vacuum
are compatible with vapors that may be produced in the oven (i.e. vacuum pump seals must be
tolerant of any fumes from the oven).
