Lab Safety in Anatomy & Physiology
Presented by: Danielle Kriminger 2012-2013Slide2
Safety FirstHands-on experiences are essential to learning in science class, but safety must be the first concern!
The following rules exist for your safety. These rules help to prevent accidents in the lab and allow for more efficient work to occur.Slide3
Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the laboratory.
When first entering the science room, do not touch any equipment, chemicals or other materials until you are instructed to do so. Slide4
Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a direction or part of a procedure, ASK YOUR TEACHER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE ACTIVITY.Slide5
Perform only those experiments or procedures authorized by your teacher. Carefully follow all instructions, both written and oral. Unauthorized experiments are not allowed. Slide6
Do not eat food, drink beverages, or chew gum in the laboratory. Do not use laboratory glassware as containers for food or beverages.Slide7
Be prepared for your work in the laboratory. Read all procedures thoroughly before entering the laboratory. Never fool around in the laboratory. Horseplay, practical jokes, and pranks are dangerous and prohibited. Slide8
Observe good housekeeping practices. Work areas should be kept clean and tidy at all times. Slide9
Be alert and proceed with caution at all times in the laboratory. Notify the teacher immediately of any unsafe conditions you observe.Slide10
Dispose of all chemical waste properly. Never mix chemicals in sink drains. Sinks are to be used only for water. Check with your teacher for disposal of chemicals and solutions. Slide11
Labels and equipment instructions must be read carefully before use. Set up and use the equipment as directed by your teacher.Slide12
Keep hands away from face, eyes, mouth, and body while using chemicals or lab equipment. Wash your hands with soap and water before and after performing all experiments. Slide13
Experiments must be personally monitored at all times. Do not wander around the room, distract other students, startle other students or interfere with the laboratory experiments of others.Slide14
Know the locations and operating procedures of all safety equipment including: first aid kit(s), and fire extinguisher. Know where the fire alarm and the exits are located.Slide15
Know what to do if there is a fire drill during a laboratory period; containers must be closed, and any electrical equipment turned off.Slide16
Any time chemicals, heat, or glassware are used, students will wear safety goggles. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE!Slide17
Dress properly during a laboratory activity. Long hair, dangling jewelry, and loose or baggy clothing are a hazard in the laboratory. Long hair must be tied back, and dangling jewelry and baggy clothing must be secured. Shoes must completely cover the foot. No sandals allowed on lab days.Slide18
PPE- Personal protective Equipment
Protect you from getting hurt !!!!!Slide19Slide20
Report any accident (spill, breakage, etc.) or injury (cut, burn, etc.) to the teacher immediately, no matter how trivial it seems. Do not panic. Slide21
If a chemical should splash in your eye(s) or on your skin, immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. Immediately (and loudly) yell out the teacher's name to get the teacher's attention.
Slide22
Check the label on all chemical bottles twice before removing any of the contents. Take only as much chemical as you need.Slide23
If you do not understand how to use a piece of equipment, ASK THE TEACHER FOR HELP!Slide24
Fall PreventionKeep floor clean and clear from debris.Cords away from walking area and secured.Spills immediately cleaned up.
If someone falls, gently assist them to the floor. Slide25
Needle SafetyNever play with syringes or needles.
Do not recap needles.Discard used needles in puncture resistant box.Slide26
ElectricalDo not operate equipment until you have been trained to use itCheck electrical cords for fraying and grounding prongs
Report any malfunctioning equipment immediately.Make sure hands are dry. Never use electrical equipment near sink or area where contact with water can occur.Slide27
Patient SafetyDo not perform procedures on patients unless directed to do so
Provide privacy- keep pt. coveredIdentify patients properly – check arm band.Explain procedures completely
Be aware of hazards as they develop. Always keep bed in the lowest position.
Check safety check before leaving room (O2, tubing , bed position, and make sure call light is within patients reach.Slide28
