SAFETY …
Lab rules are for safety
Lab rules are enforced
Work individually, but in groups of two or three (buddy system)

9. Lab safety rules For this activity … Wear covered footwear
UTS Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology
Lab safety rules
For this activity …
Wear covered footwear
No eating or drinking
Do not sit on the benches
Bags must be placed in the bag racks
No equipment can be used without permission from a supervisor
No-one may enter or leave the laboratory without permission from a supervisor
If any accident occurs, it must be reported immediately to a supervisor
Listen carefully and follow all instructions when we are in the laboratory
PCBs are only placed on the hot plate by a supervisor
Take care when using soldering irons – ask a supervisor for help if you are unsure
The computer used to program the device can only be used by a supervisor
