General Laboratory Rules:

Safety Protocols:

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Requirement of safety goggles, lab coats, gloves, and
closed-toe shoes.
 Emergency Procedures: Knowledge and practice of evacuation routes, emergency contacts, and
procedures for spills, accidents, or injuries.

Laboratory Conduct:

 Behavior and Conduct: Respectful behavior, no horseplay, and appropriate conduct while
handling equipment and materials.
 No Food or Drink: Prohibition of eating, drinking, or chewing gum in the lab to prevent
contamination.

Equipment and Materials:

 Handling Equipment: Proper use and handling of laboratory equipment and apparatus.
 Chemical Storage: Correct storage and labeling of chemicals to prevent accidents and ensure
safety.
 Experimental Procedures: Following Instructions: Strict adherence to experimental procedures
as outlined by the teacher or laboratory manual.
 Documentation: Accurate recording of procedures, observations, and results in lab notebooks or
reports.

Cleanliness and Organization:

Clean Up: Proper disposal of waste materials and cleaning of workspaces after experiments.

Organization: Keeping work areas tidy and organized to prevent accidents and facilitate efficient work.
Teacher Guidelines:

1. Logbook: Upon entering the science laboratory, we should write the date, section, and names of the
students. This allows us to trace who is responsible for addressing any misbehavior in the lab, such as
breaking glass apparatus.

2. Personal protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, such as lab gowns, safety goggles,
gloves, and closed-toed shoes, to protect yourself from potential hazards.

3. No Food or Drink: Do not consume food or drinks in the laboratory to prevent contamination and
potential ingestion of hazardous substances.

4. Proper Attire: Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair that can potentially get caught in equipment
or chemicals.

5. Chemical Handling: Read and follow the instructions on chemical labels. Never taste, touch, or smell
chemicals unless instructed to do so by a qualified instructor.

6. Equipment Usage: Use laboratory equipment only for its intended purpose. Learn how to properly use
equipment before attempting experiments.

7. Emergency Equipment: Familiarize yourself with the location and use of safety showers, eyewash
stations, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits.

8. Cleanliness and Organization: Keep your workspace tidy and organized to prevent accidents and
contamination.

9. Waste Disposal: Dispose of chemicals, biological materials, and waste properly according to
established protocols.

10. No Horseplay: Avoid any behavior that could lead to accidents or compromise the safety of others.

11. Follow Protocols: Adhere to established protocols and procedures for handling hazardous materials,
biological specimens, and equipment.

12. Communication: Communicate effectively with your lab partners, instructors, and colleagues. Ensure
everyone is aware of potential hazards and protocols.

13. No Smoking: Smoking is prohibited in laboratories due to the potential for chemical reactions and
fire hazards.

14. Cell Phones and Distractions: Minimize distractions and keep cell phone usage to a minimum to
maintain focus and safety.
Establish Clear Rules and Expectations:

 Communicate laboratory rules and safety guidelines clearly to students at the beginning of the
course or laboratory session.
 Emphasize the importance of adhering to rules for personal safety and the safety of others.
 Demonstrate and Practice Safety Protocols:
 Conduct safety orientations and demonstrations on the proper use of PPE, handling of
equipment, and emergency procedures.
 Provide opportunities for students to practice safe laboratory techniques under supervision.
 Monitor and Enforce Rules Consistently:
 Supervise students closely during lab sessions to ensure compliance with rules and safety
protocols.
 Address any breaches of safety or conduct promptly and appropriately.
 Provide Adequate Training and Support:
 Offer training sessions on specific laboratory techniques, safety procedures, and equipment
operation as needed.
 Encourage questions and clarify doubts regarding safety or procedural matters.
 Review and Update Guidelines Regularly:
 Stay informed about current safety regulations and best practices in laboratory management.
 Periodically review and update laboratory guidelines to incorporate new safety measures or
address emerging issues.
