1. Undergraduate Laboratories: Course Check-In List
Complete the safety documentation for each of your chemistry laboratory courses.
Complete the Emergency Contact Information Form.
Learn the evacuation route; be aware of the designated meeting area.
Learn your role in promoting a culture of laboratory safety.
Before the first wet lab (and every following lab) consider lab policies regarding:
Appropriate dress and proper protective equipment.
Safe chemical handling and waste procedures
General hygiene and clean up protocols (personal items, hands, and work-space)
Understand your role in shared space awareness and citizenship.
Shared space “rules” are especially significant when multiple lab courses share the same room (such as Inorganic, Polymer, and Honors Organic Labs sharing Chevron 410).
All students are required to:
Learn and act on lab rules for shared equipment and space
Learn and act on lab rules for synthetic intermediate and product storage
Notify lab instructor when unlabeled samples or reagents are found in lab
