Why?
Labs have many more hazards than your average classroom or office space so more
precautions are needed
![Page 4: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Who is responsible?
EVERYONE is responsible for health and safety AND associated reporting
![Page 5: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reporting
Emergency numbers and procedures are on notice boards in each lab and their adjoining corridors. BE FAMILIAR with these.
![Page 6: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How to report
EMERGENCIES:– SECURITY ext 7777 – 1-111
NON-EMERGENCIES:– SPEAK TO or EMAIL your
Supervisor or a Technician– CALL individual extensions

Incident/Accident Reporting
You must report any accident that results in an injury, including near misses to your Supervisor or a Technician
Injury includes any adverse health effect including eg trauma or medical conditions
Any building or equipment damage also needs reporting
![Page 8: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is an emergency?
Fire
Large or dangerous chemical spills or odours
Medical emergency
Suspicious person

Emergency services need to know…
– Your name and contact details– Exact location of emergency– Description of emergency– Extent of any injury– Chemical name if spill has occurred
![Page 10: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Evacuate immediately unless otherwise instructed by Supervisor or other Staff
Shut off equipment if safe to do so
Emergency Evacuation

Fire Safety
Bags and coats can be a trip hazard…
…store them in designated lockers not under benches or in walkways
![Page 13: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fire Safety
Know where your nearest exit is and where fire extinguishing facilities are and do not block access to them
![Page 14: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Personal Protective Equipment
Closed shoes
Lab coats
Eye protection
(prescription glasses are not
enough) Gloves
![Page 22: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lab coats
Put dirty lab coats in laundry bins provided outside each lab
![Page 23: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Footwear
• If you need to do something that requires safety shoes, eg lift heavy objects, speak with a Technician
![Page 24: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ladders
• If you can’t reach it without standing on something, use a ladder.
• DON’T use a chair, box, bucket, etc – it could topple over
• Ensure the base is flat and secure
![Page 25: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chemical Hazards
• Physical hazards– Flammable– Reactive– Compressed gas
• Health hazards eg– Poisons– Irritants– Carcinogens– Corrosives
Effects of drops of a highly corrosive chemical (oleylamine)

Exposure Routes
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WORKING WITH
![Page 27: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fume Hood
• Biosafety cabinets are not fume hoods
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE• Position work well within
the hood• Never put your head
inside the hood• Never leave experiments
unattended Biosafety cabinet (left) and fume hood (right)
![Page 28: Science laboratory h&s training (all users)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062419/5584e305d8b42a89408b5122/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Waste DisposalUSE THE APPROPRIATE WASTE CONTAINER • Put discarded animal parts in biohazard
bags• Seal used petri dishes and put in
biohazard bags• DO NOT DISPOSE OF ANY CHEMICALS
IN THE SINK OR RUBBISH BINS – check with a Technician
• Give spent batteries to a Technician for disposal
• Inform a Technician of any spillages• Contact a Technician to dispose of
