Before we begin handling chemicals and performing experiments, we need to become aware of all safety considerations associated with laboratory work. Our safety training, culminating on Friday, highlights the following things to understand in an effort to create a space where the safety of yours and those around you is assured:
Awareness of potential hazards
Proper lab practice and behavior
In the case of an accident or spill
To reinforce our understanding of lab safety and serve as reminders, students are expected to create a safety poster that highlights a specific consideration. These posters are due by Friday August 29th at the beginning of class, and can be turned in as a hard copy or through a shared folder. Additional access to the shared folder is available by clicking the appropriate button below.
