Clean up the spill following your regular laboratory
procedures. Use proper personal protective
equipment.
The shaker is neither inert nor protected against
explosion. Never use the shaker in an explosion-
prone environment.
Do not shake toxic or radioactive materials or
any pathogenic micro-organisms without suitable
safety precautions.
If shaking any hazardous materials mind the
"Laboratory Biosafety Manual" of the World
Health Organization (WHO) and any local
regulations. When shaking microbiological
samples from the Risk Group II (according
to the "Laboratory Biosafety Manual" of the
World Health Organization (WHO)), aerosol-tight
biological seals have to be used. Look on the
Internet page of the World Health Organization
(www.who.int) for the "Laboratory Biosafety
Manual" . For materials in a higher risk group, extra
safety measures must be taken.
If toxins or pathogenic substances have
contaminated the shaker or its parts, appropriate
disinfection and decontamination measures have
to be taken ("Decontamination" on page 126;
„Disinfection" on page
If a hazardous situation occurs, turn off the
power supply to the shaker and leave the area
immediately.
