BIOS242, Week 1-OL Name: Montresia Tumblin Lab 1: Lab Safety Learning Objectives Use the correct clothing to work in the lab Describe the do’s and don’ts in a laboratory Correctly use the lab safety equipment React in an emergency situation Introduction: About Lab safety virtual simulations lab Laboratories can be very dangerous, especially if you’ve never set foot in one before. So in this simulation, you’ll get the chance to make your debut in a virtual one! You will learn how to use the lab safety equipment, and how to react in case of an emergency. Detect and eliminate sources of danger and pass on your lab safety knowledge to friends. Identify hazards Safety first! Always pay attention to potential hazards when you enter a lab. In this simulation, you will create a tidy and safe working environment by identifying and eliminating hazards in the lab. You will be introduced to the lab safety rules and the safety equipment, which will help you and your colleagues, if something was to go wrong in a real lab. Emergency training You will be introduced to the basic hazard symbols used to categorize dangerous materials. You’ll use this knowledge to prevent dangerous situations, like acid spills. But you will also learn how to deal with unlabeled, potentially hazardous chemicals. By mastering such situations in this simulation, you won’t have to worry about being exposed to any real danger. You will learn how to operate the eye-wash and also get an introduction to various other pieces of lab safety equipment . Spread your knowledge It is important to share your newly acquired knowledge with your colleagues. In this simulation, you will meet your friend Lucy who’s never worked in a lab before. Pass on your lab safety knowledge and help her dress appropriately for a day in the lab. Will you be able to apply your knowledge, and make sure that you and your friend stay safe in the laboratory? 1.

It is important to wear closed toe shoes to prevent injuries. 3. What is the importance of cleaning work bench before and after use? Disinfecting the work bench is important to ensure all hazardous materials are removed prior to working with other materials that may cause negative interactions. 4. If you have spillage or work bench contamination, what are the steps required to make the surface sterile again? Inform the instructor, follow step on MSDS. Take a pipette and drop solution on the spill to see if it is acidic or a base. Use baking soda to neutralize if acidic. After it is neutralized, clean up the spill with an absorption napkin and properly dispose. 5. What are the different types of hazardous material generated in Micro lab? Give some ways of their proper disposal. Agar with bacteria presented is an example of hazardous material generated in Micro Lab. The best way to dispose of it is to throw it away in a biohazard bin. 6. Write a reflection on this lab exercise- 5 sentences on what you learned with this simulation. It is important to know how to clean spills, put out fires, and what proper PPE to use prior to working. Proper PPE can prevent chemicals and other hazardous materials from getting on your clothes, in your eyes, and on your skin. Always inform your instructor on spills no matter what the substance is. When using the fire blanket, ensure that the purpose in need is lying on the ground and not standing up. Always test to see if spills are acidic or a base prior to cleaning. The pH determines how you should properly clean it up. 2
