    Physics Laboratories Safety Rules and Recommendations For

    all Students, Faculty and staff using the Physics Laboratories:

    Lab work is the key to progress in science. Therefore, systematic


    careful lab work is an essential part of any science program. In
    this class, you will practice some of the same fundamental
    laboratory procedures and techniques that experimental
    physicists use to pursue new knowledge.

    The equipment and apparatuses you will use involve various


    safety hazards, just as they do for working physicists. You must
    be aware of these hazards. Your teacher will guide you in
    properly using the equipment and carrying out the experiments,
    but you must also take responsibility for your part in this process.
    With the active involvement of you and your teacher, these risks
    can be minimized so that working in the physics laboratory can
    be a safe, enjoyable process of discovery.

    These safety rules always apply in the lab:


    1. Always wear a lab apron and safety goggles.
    2. No contact lenses in the lab.
    3. Personal apparel should be appropriate for laboratory work.
    4. NEVER work alone in the laboratory.
    5. Only books and notebooks needed for the experiment should
    be in the lab.
    6. Read the entire experiment before entering the lab.
    7. Always heed safety symbols and cautions written in the
    experimental investigations and handouts, posted in the
    room, and given verbally by your teacher.
    8. Know the proper fire drill procedures and the location of fire exits
    and emergency equipment.

    9. If you clothing catches on fire do not run; WALK to the safety


    shower, stand under it, and turn it on.
    10. Report all accidents to the teacher immediately, no matter how
    minor.
    11. Report all spills to your teacher immediately.
    12. Student designed inquiry investigations, such as the Invention
    Labs in the Laboratory Experiments manual, must be approved by
    the teacher before being attempted by the student.
    13. DO NOT perform unauthorized experiments or use materials and
    equipment in a manner for which they were not intended.
    14. Stay alert in the lab and proceed with caution.
    15. Horseplay in the lab is very dangerous.
    16. Food, beverages and chewing gum are NEVER permitted in the
    Laboratory.
    17. Put your cell phone into deposit and consignment office before
    you get in the lab.
    18. Use extreme CAUTION when working with hot plates or other
    heating devices.
    19. Exercise caution when working with electrical equipment.
    20. Keep work areas and apparatus clean and neat.
    21. Always thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water at the
    conclusion of each investigation.
