Ultracentrifuge Beckman L8-70M Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Form

The app provides a basic Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Form but it can be customized to meet your human resources needs and requirements. The app documents items such as required/recommended trainings, required PPE, the app takes a picture of the equipment, name of shop or dept and person analyzing. This Job Safety Analysis app analyzes tasks such as: Inspect centrifuge chamber prior to use. Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Inspect tubes prior to filling them and balance the samples in order to run. With power on, open chamber door, install rotor and close and lock chamber door. Fill out log book after each use and record any problems you observed. The app also lists hazards such as: Rotors in high speed centrifuge units are subject to mechanical stress that can result in rotor failure. Improper loading and balancing of rotors can cause the rotors to break loose while spinning. For these reasons, centrifuges must be properly used and maintained. Rotor imbalance may damage rotor and centrifuge. The JSA includes controls like: Before using centrifuge, review owner's manual. Do not use until familiar with the procedure and some experienced operator has shown you the proper way to use it. Be familiar with emergency and log book maintenance procedures prior to operation. If tubes are filled less than half do not spin at more than half of maximum speed.
