NanoBio: Safety & Waste Disposal

Safety Everyday

 * Put on safety glasses every time you step into the lab.
 * If you are working in the lab, in addition to safety glasses - you should be wearing:
 * a lab coat
 * closed-toe shoes (not sandals)
 * gloves
 * When you're done in the lab:
 * leave your lab coat in the lab
 * dispose of your gloves in the biohazardous or solid waste, as appropriate
 * wash your hands!
 * Think about potential hazardous before you start an experiment - especially it is the first time you're doing it.
 * If you're unsure whether part of a procedure you're about to do might be hazardous, get advice! Ask a local expert (Michael & Melike are a good place to start) and get an answer you're comfortable with, BEFORE you start.

DUH's

 * Don't eat or drink in lab.
 * Don't pipet by mouth.
