Why Do We Need Lab Safety?
Eye Safety Make sure to wear goggles If you should happen to get something in your eyes…make sure to use the eyewash station
Thermal Safety Make sure to wear gloves Burns are a definite possibility!!!! Wear gloves, use hot mitts, and just use COMMON SENSE
Electricity Safety We will use electricity…respect it Do not hang chords over tables or put in the way of areas where people can walk Do not mix with WATER!!!
Chemical Safety Treat every chemical as a dangerous chemical NEVER mix chemicals unless told to do so DO NOT directly smell chemicals…waft them
Hand Safety Some objects may be sharp Make sure to wear gloves around these objects Use common sense!!!
Animal Safety Sometimes in the lab, you will work with animals or biological materials When you are finished, make sure to wash your hands fully every time
Glassware Safety Glass cools very slowly after being heated – DO NOT HANDLE WITHOUT protection Never place hot glass on a wooden or metal desktop NEVER eat or drink from laboratory glassware
Clothing Protection In case of a spill, you don’t want to ruin your clothing, so it would be best to wear one of these… A Laboratory Apron!!! See…Mr. Marchewka was right, thanks to his advice, I saved my clothes!!!!!! Thanks Mr. M !!!!
