So last Tuesday we resumed our FYP meeting with our supervisor after a week long of MST. First of all, we were told to complete a questionnaire from MindWave, our vendor, in order to receive a sample database from them.
After which, we started our meeting. Basically, we went through "what is controlled chemicals". They are classified into 4 categories; hazardous substance, petroleum & flammable, poison lists and explosive. These 4 categories are controlled by different authorities.
NEA (National Environment Agency) - Hazardous
SPF (Singapore Police Force) - Explosive
HSA (Health Sciences Authority) - Poison lists
SCDF (Singapore Civil Defence Force) - Petroleum & Flammable
Our supervisor showed us the website of different authorities that set up the regulations so that we have a better understanding about controlled chemicals. The school have to apply a license from different authorities in order to handle and store controlled chemicals. Apart from that, we also learnt that there are 4 different chemical inventory forms used in SP and an additional form for waste disposal. The TSOs have to ensure that the forms are kept up-to-date.
We discussed about our Gantt Chart making. If possible, we will try to finish it by the end of June.
We also discussed about our upcoming meeting, which is next Friday. we will be having a lab visit where we explore the facility and try to generate some ideas on how to improve the current chemical inventory database. We will try to use softwares like Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access for our database and make a comparison between the two softwares to find out which is the most appropriate for our FYP.
That's all for now.
