Safety and Record Keeping

Learning to work safely in a

laboratory setting while also

keeping accurate and

appropriate records are key

skills that we are developing

during this course. Safely

working in a laboratory means

that we minimize risks for

ourselves, other people in the

laboratory and building, and for

the environment.

In first learning about safety in

the laboratory we often

encounter lists of guidelines for

what we should and should not

do in the laboratory. These guidelines are to help us build a baseline for

understanding and mitigating risk in teaching laboratories with well-established

experiments. One of the safety rules is to not “Pipet by Mouth.” What do you

think the purpose of this safety rule is?

Safety Rules

Here are some examples of standard safety rules for teaching laboratories. To aid

in understanding these rules, you will be discussing with others in the laboratory

what you think their purposes are.

•Never leave chemical containers open.

•Label all containers with what is inside of them.

•Long hair and loose clothing must be secured.

•Closed toed shoes must be worn in the laboratory.

•Do not wear laboratory gloves into the hallway.

•Laboratory goggles must always be worn.

•Know the location of fire extinguishers and emergency exit routes.

•Do not work alone in the laboratory.
