General Safety Information

It is every lab member’s responsibility to maintain the health and safety of the lab space, not only the safety coordinators. This includes following lab protocol, keeping the lab space clean and organized, and reporting all problems or incidents. Please report any and all issues to both the safety coordinator and a PI. If you have questions or concerns beyond the safety coordinator or PI, please refer to the following list of key points of contact.

In the Event of an Emergency:

  1. Get everyone out of the lab!
  2. Call 911
  3. Only then try to manage the problem (e.g. attempt to put out a fire with an extinguisher)

Basic Lab Rules

  1. Clean up after yourself and return items to their original, marked locations
  2. Turn off equipment after use. If equipment has been left on, check with others in the lab before turning off.
  3. Make sure the door is locked if you are the last one in lab.
  4. Do not use other lab member’s personal belongings (desk, drawers, computer, etc.).
  5. Do not eat in the space.
  6. If you don’t know how to use something, just ask.

  1. Eye protection
  2. Lab coats

All PPE is stored in the command room. Other equipment is available in the lab supply closet in the basement of Durand in room 026A.
