Laboratory Safety Deposit waste in the appropriate receptacles. Glass should be disposed of in glass disposal boxes only. Hazardous chemicals should be disposed of in special, labeled waste containers in the fume hood(s). Non-toxic, non-hazardous aqueous solutions with a pH between 6 and 8 should be disposed of down the drain only if permitted under all current applicable EPA, CDC, NIH, DEC, and MOA regulations and policies. Solutions with a pH below 6 and above 8 should go in a waste container. Regular paper waste should be disposed of in a regular garbage bin only. Where available, recyclable paper only should be discarded in recycling bins.

Laboratory Safety Injuries or incidents should be reported to the lab instructor immediately. Incident report forms shall be filled out by the injured party and lab instructor and filed with the chemical hygiene officer for any and all incidents and injuries.

Student Health Center Health care is free for students taking 6 or more credits. If you are involved in an incident in lab, your instructor may suggest that you visit the student health center before continuing with lab.

Laboratory Safety Know where all safety equipment is located and how they function. These are to remain clear of obstructions at all times. Your instructor will point each of these out to you. ◦ Gloves ◦ Safety shower ◦ Eyewash basin ◦ Fire extinguisher ◦ Fire blanket ◦ Fume hoods ◦ First aid kit ◦ Glass disposal boxes ◦ MSDS binder ◦ Phone

Laboratory Safety All exits are clearly marked and should be unobstructed at all times. Your instructor will go over the emergency escape route for this lab. In the advent of a visible fire or the sound of a building fire alarm, everybody should remain calm. Follow your instructor’s directions for evacuating the building. importance-of-having-a-proper-exit-plan-in-your-workplace/

Laboratory Safety In the event of an earthquake, everybody should remain calm, get under a bench or stand against an inside wall. Do not stand in a doorway or against windows. Follow the instructor’s verbal orders regarding any building evacuation once the shaking stops.

Laboratory Safety During a building evacuation if time and safety permits: Shut off all electrical devices Stop any chemical procedures Gather personal belongings Calmly proceed to exit the building via the nearest and safest exit Do not use the elevators Once outside, stay at least 50 to 100 feet from any buildings Do not leave your class evacuation assembly point until your instructor has personally accounted for every one in your class.

Personal Safety Never enter any teaching laboratory without the presence and / or permission of your lab instructor. Consult with your healthcare provider if you have any special medical conditions or any other medical concerns while participating in lab exercises. Voluntarily inform your instructor of any relevant medical conditions that could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others.

Personal Safety Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly forbidden in laboratories. Any visible food / drink container shall be discarded in a garbage bin. Gum and mints are considered food items. Food and beverage containers may not be left outside laboratory doors as they pose a trip and slip hazard.

Personal Safety Appropriate attire is required in all laboratories at all times. Your instructor will elaborate. Long hair must be tied back. Keep it out of your eyes and out of your chemicals! OSHA recommends strongly against wearing contact lenses in lab. Notify your instructor at the beginning of each lab if you are wearing contact lenses. Research chemical incompatibility! Remove dangling jewelry and watches / bracelets from your person before entering the lab. Protect rings from chemical contact. The application of any and all make-up, including lip balm and ChapStick®, is strictly prohibited in laboratories.
