PREPROOM- Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories
Lab Safety
Students are required to sign a Safety Agreement, which can be found in
their lab manual. By doing so, they understand and agree that, in order to
work in a chemistry lab, they are required to do the following:
 | Wear approved safety goggles and a lab coat at all times when any
experimental work is being done by anyone in the lab. |
| Protect themselves by wearing appropriate clothing in the lab.
Closed shoes are required; open-top shoes or sandals are prohibited. Wear
appropriate gloves when handling hazardous chemicals. |
| Become familiar with the location and proper operation of the safety
shower, the eyewash stations, and the fire extinguisher. |
| Obey all instructions concerning the safe performance of
experiments. Use the hood when required, dispose of all chemicals and
other materials as instructed, and promptly return all chemicals and
reagents to their appropriate places when finished. Protect against
the contamination of reagents and chemicals. |
| Do not attempt any unauthorized experiments nor work in the lab without
proper supervision. |
| Understand that the University does not provide liability insurance
coverage for students and that they are responsible for the financial burden
of injuries that may be incurred during this class. |
