SAFETY IN BIOCHEMICAL LABORATORY
All of the following rules will be followed at all times when you are in the laboratory.
1.1. Lab practicals will be only held at scheduled times. No additional lab time will be allowed, so plan to use all of your available time effectively. If you do, you will have plenty of time to finish all of the required experiments. If you do not come to the lab well prepared or if you do not use your time effectively, you will have less time and therefore, will be less likely to make a good grade. This is as it should be, for planning and self-discipline are critical parts of being a good employee.
1.2. The equipment, glassware and supplies you will be using in these courses are very expensive. Be careful with them. You are responsible for any breakage of glassware.
1.3. It is essential that you keep all common work areas (such as fume hoods, balance areas, etc.) and your work area clean. All spills should be cleaned up and reported to your teacher immediately. You should assume that all horizontal surfaces are contaminated with a corrosive and will destroy your clothing if you sit or rest your arms on them. Allow time to clean up at the end of each lab period.
1.4. You should know all of the chemical reactions and why each reagent is being used. You should continuously observe each experiment for
reasonable properties and consult your teacher if anything looks strange or is unexpected.
GENERAL
2.1. No smoking, eating (including chewing gum) or drinking is permitted in the laboratory.
