Here are some potential practical experiments that could be carried out safely in a fume cupboard at level 3: - Preparation of a gas by heating a solid sample, such as heating sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas. - Preparation of solutions involving reagents that produce toxic/noxious fumes, such as dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide to produce chlorine gas. - Titration experiments producing gas, such as acid-base titrations between strong acids and bases. - Experiments using volatile organic compounds or other hazardous chemicals requiring local exhaust ventilation, such as ethanol or other alcohols. - Experiments producing noxious odors, such as

- 11. • An unusual suicide with copper sulphate poisoning: a case report. • Behera C, Rautji R, Dogra TD. • Source • Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology AIIMS, New Delhi 110029, India. • Abstract • A 22-year-old unmarried, male painter was found by neighbouring shopkeepers to be rolling on the ground inside his shop due to severe abdominal pain. The man had tried to commit suicide by intravenously injecting a solution of home made copper sulphate, used as an antifouling agent in paints. He was taken to the local hospital with severe gastric pain, vomiting and diarrhoea. His condition worsened after three days and he was transferred to another hospital; but the victim died on his way. His relatives and neighbours confirmed that he had recently been suffering from depression.

- 25. Management Standards • Demands – this includes issues such as workload, work patterns and the work environment. • Control – how much say the person has in the way they do their work. • Support – this includes the encouragement, sponsorship and resources provided by the organisation, line management and colleagues. • Relationships – this includes promoting positive working to avoid conflict and dealing with unacceptable behaviour. • Role – whether people understand their role within the organisation and whether the organisation ensures that they do not have conflicting roles. • Change – how organisational change (large or small) is managed and communicated in the organisation.
- 26. What is work-related stress, and why do we need to tackle it? • There is a difference between stress and pressure. We all experience pressure on a daily basis, and need it to motivate us and enable us to perform at our best. It’s when we experience too much pressure without the opportunity to recover that we start to experience stress. The HSE definition of stress is ‘the adverse reaction a person has to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed upon them’. • http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg424.pdf • HSE 2013,
