Transcript of General Guidelines for Science Labs
General Guidelines for Science Labs
1. Lab Safety Procedures and Information Health and safety are paramount values in
science classrooms, laboratories and field activities. You are expected to conduct yourself
professionally with respect and courtesy to all. All safety policies and procedures apply to
scheduled lab classes as well as open labs. Consequences for not complying with safety
procedures:
You will not be able to participate in a lab activity if:
a. you are late for class and have missed safety training specifics for that day’s lab or field
activity;
b. you have forgotten your personal protective equipment;
c. you refuse to wear personal protective equipment;
d. you have not followed safety policies and procedures for that lab or field activity
2. You may be withdrawn from the class and not reinstated if:
a. you missed required safety training at the beginning of the semester;
b. you repeatedly fail to follow lab safety policies and procedures.
3. Emergencies if there is a life-threatening emergency (fire, major chemical spill, explosion,
injury): Report the situation and your specific location (campus, room) by using the
safety phone in a lab classroom; Evacuate if necessary:
a. take your personal belongings with you if possible;
b. on your way out, close but do not lock the classroom door;
c. go to the designated rally point for your campus and building. Directions to nearest exit
location of rally point Safety
4. Equipment and How to Use It:
5. Information about chemicals used in this laboratory can be found in Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDSs) and in a chemical inventory located .The emergency gas shut-off for this
lab is located. Shut off the gas immediately if gas nozzles or valves are damaged or if
there is a fire. Fire extinguishers are located:
6. To use a fire extinguisher:
a. twist the pin and then pull it out of the handle
b. hold the end of the hose and point it at the base of the fire , squeeze the handle Fire
blankets are located . If you are on fire, stop, drop and roll. Let someone else to get the
fire blanket. A safety shower is located.
7. Chemical, especially an acid or base on yourself immediately stand under the shower and
pull the handle. Disrobe. The instructor will evacuate the room and close the doors for
your privacy. Someone of your gender will stay to help you. Stand under the shower for
at least 20 minutes. You will be given clothing after the shower.
8. An eyewash is located. If a chemical is splashed or rubbed into your eyes you must use an
eyewash for at least 20 minutes with your eyes held open. Someone will help you with this.
9. If a person is experiencing electrical shock from touching wires or equipment, use a belt
or other non-conducting material to pull them away from the electrical source.
10. First aid kits are located.
a. Only minor cuts and burns will be treated in the lab. Serious injuries must be treated in
a medical facility. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will be called if you are injured
and are unable to take yourself to a medical facility.
b. The instructor must fill out a report describing your injury.
11. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 1. Required when biological, chemical or physical
hazards are present on the lab benches, open shelves or counters:
a. Safety Eyewear *You must wear non-tinted safety eyewear (safety glasses or goggles)
marked Z87 when directed to do so by the lab instructor or lab safety instructions. *You
must bring your protective eyewear with you to every lab class. If you forget your
eyewear and the lab room does not have a pair to loan to you, you will not be able to
participate in the lab and may forfeit your lab grade for that day.
b. Gloves – You will be provided with nitrile gloves for handling biohazards and
hazardous chemicals. Please notify the instructor if your skin is irritated by these gloves.
c. Shoes – Shoes must cover the top, front and sides of your feet. They must be
impervious to liquids.
d. More specific requirements may exist for labs in which unique hazards are present (for
example: Physical hazards such as sharps, open flame, UV light, pressurized gases, or
liquid nitrogen. 2. Recommended when biological, chemical or physical hazards are
present on the lab benches, open shelves or counters:
12. You may be instructed to wear an apron or lab coat over your clothes when handling
biohazards or hazardous chemicals.
13. Wear natural fiber clothing for any lab activity involving open flame (synthetic material
Introductory Zoology – Supplement to Lab Manual;
14. Before putting on gloves remove watches, rings, and bracelets that could either puncture
the glove from the inside or interfere with rapid removal of the gloves.
15. Tie back long hair.
16. Do not wear clothing with long, loose sleeves. Waste Disposal You must precisely follow
the waste disposal procedures. Never dispose of anything in lab without prior direction
from the instructor. Hazardous chemical waste containers are located: solids liquids
Biohazard bags are located: Sharps containers are located: Glass (rinsed test tubes and
broken glass) disposal boxes are located.
17. Regular trash containers are located: Lab Conduct
a. At the beginning of any class held in a lab room, do not enter the room until your
instructor is present. Wait in the hall, even if the door is open.
b. Do these things: *follow all procedures in manuals, in handouts, and as given by the
instructor; *store backpacks, coats, and other personal items as directed; *report broken
glass and chemical spills to your instructor immediately.
18. Do NOT do these things:
a. come to class while intoxicated or while under the influence of drugs that impair your
ability to safely perform the lab or field activity;
b. horse around or perform unauthorized experiments;
c. eat, drink, or chew (tobacco or gum);
d. bring drinks or food (even in closed containers) into the lab;
e. pipet by mouth; taste chemicals or directly smell chemical fumes. Lab Hygiene Clean up
your individual work area/equipment and community work areas/equipment (e.g., sinks,
balances).
f. Put lids back on bottles and containers immediately after use. Do not put excess chemicals
back into original containers.
19. Dispose of chemicals and waste only as directed by the instructor. Turn off equipment as
instructed. Wash your hands prior to leaving lab. Assume that chemicals used in lab are
corrosive or irritating. If at any time chemicals come into contact with your skin wash the
affected area immediately.
20. Standard / Universal Precautions Diseases such as HIV and hepatitis can be transmitted
from person to person through contact with human blood or other body fluids. Follow the
Standard or Universal Precautions whenever exposure to human body fluids is possible: à
Consider all body fluids (saliva, blood, urine, feces, vomit) to be potentially infected with
a harmful pathogen
21. Introductory Zoology – Do not touch or come into contact with anyone else's body fluids.
Student Accident Insurance All students enrolled in lab classes are covered by Student
Accident Insurance that pays for injuries occurring from school sponsored activities
related to the class. It does not pay for illnesses such as allergies or the flu, or fainting.
All faculty and students should read the guidelines at:. You can also download the claim
form from this location.
22. Chemical Hazard Labels *Label all containers and test tubes as directed. *Inform your
instructor immediately if a label is damaged in any way. *Read all labels and pay special
attention to hazard information. A typical chemical hazard label conveys two kinds of
information: 1) the category of the hazard (flammable, toxic, reactive, or corrosive) and
2) the level of the hazard. There are three types of labels: 1) GHS (Globally Harmonized
System - the international system of hazard identification), 2) diamond-shaped hazard
labels, and 3) bar-shaped hazard labels. GHS labels are found mostly on primary
containers, the jars or packages in which the chemical manufacturer packaged the
chemicals.
23. The GHS system labels include icons that warn you about the major type or types of
hazards associated with the chemical. Most of the containers you use in lab are secondary
containers such as flasks, test tubes, jars, and beakers. Secondary containers will have
either the diamond shapes or the bar shapes.
24. In both of those labels the category of hazard is represented by a color and the level of the
hazard is represented by a number.
a. Hazard categories are coded by color:
b. Hazard level is coded by a number: Other types of hazard warning labels you must
recognize
25. Laboratory Safety & Equipment Familiarized yourself with the various supplies and
equipment in the lab room. Keep this sheet accessible throughout the semester. Assume the
blackboard is at the “front” of the room and the windows are on the “left” side Describe

Plagiarism Policy Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing
them off as one's own. It's good to learn from someone else and take help
from the internet, especially for analyzing gaps in the current state of the art,
but the proper citation is required. Teachers are required to look into the
plagiarism possibilities in term projects. In the case of Plagiarism, students
will be assigned an "F" grade in the relevant course and their names might be
displayed over notice boards based upon the severity of the plagiarism and
strength of evidence.
