By checking аgree, I аgree аnd understand I need tо: Prоper use and care оf laboratory equipment, including microscopes and desk top computers, during laboratories is an essential part of lab safety. Related to this, proper clean-up is important to the safety of the students and instructors in the next lab section. During, and at end of each lab, students are responsible for cleaning their area and managing their waste and used equipment including but not limited to: Leave your area better than you found it. Clear and disinfect lab benches at the beginning and end of each lab session. Report spills and accidents to your instructor immediately. Do not pick up broken glassware with your hands. Use a broom and dustpan and discard the glass in designated glass waste containers; never discard broken glass with paper waste. After use, place all materials for disposal in the areas designated by your instructor. After use, rinse glassware that has not been in contact with chemicals three times with tap water and then once with DI water. If this doesn’t clean the glassware, scrub it out with brushes and dish soap then repeat the rinse steps. Place the glassware in the dish rack when clean. Never take biological supplies, chemicals, supplies or equipment out of the laboratory. Misuse of laboratory equipment, creation of potentially dangerous lab conditions, and/or failure to properly clean up at the end of lab will result in loss of points at the instructor’s discretion.
