Laboratory Safety Basic Student Guidelines

Please read these Safety Guidelines, complete and sign the last page and give it to your instructor.

Safety is a priority at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University .While it may seem unlikely that an

accident could happen to you, you should know the accident rate in universities is 10 to 100 times

greater than in the chemical industry. To help prevent accidents, safety notes are included in the

lab manual. In addition, any relevant Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are posted in a

laboratory binder and guidelines.

Pay close attention to this information – our goals are:

1. To avoid accidents in the lab, and

2. To respond promptly and appropriately should an accident occur.

Safety depends on you!

It is your responsibility to follow the instructions in the lab manual and any additional guidelines

provided by your instructor. It is also your responsibility to be familiar with the location and

operation of safety equipment such as eyewash units, showers, fire extinguishers, chemical spill

cleanup kits etc.

General Laboratory Safety Guidelines

• Wear appropriate protective clothing. Do not wear open-toed shoes, sandals, shorts or shirts

with dangling sleeves. Tie back long hair and avoid dangling jewelry.

• Clean your workstation after each lab period, and return all equipment and materials

to appropriate stations before leaving the lab.

• Always turn off the power before working on any electric circuit or electronic device. • When operating with electric circuits and electronic devices other than just a computer, you

must work in pairs or teams.

• When in doubt about the operation of any circuit or device in lab, always have an instructor

check your work before connecting power to your system.

• Report any safety issues or violations that you are aware of as soon as possible to your

course instructor and program director.

• Ensure that you have a safe buffer area around you and that you are working on an

appropriate surface when using soldering irons in the lab.

• Always make sure that all lab equipment, soldering irons, project circuits are powered

down before leaving your lab area.

• Ensure that your work environment is clear and free of debris before starting your work AND

after finishing your project.

• Never block walkways in the laboratory with lab equipment, cables, and electrical power cords.

• Do not eat, drink, smoke, or apply cosmetics in the laboratory.

• Avoid all horseplay in the laboratory. • Dispose of sharps waste properly — place broken glass in the glass discard container, metal in

the metal waste container, and place other waste materials in the designated container(s).

Secure all sharps, including needles, blades, probes, knives, etc.
