Basic Safety

Before beginning work in the lab, we learnt basic lab safety. This included:

  • Knowledge of first aid kit location/names of qualified first aiders in the building
  • Always wearing a lab coat inside the lab
  • Reading and signing the relevant COSHH forms
  • How to store flammable/toxic chemicals
  • How to dispose of hazardous, and potentially hazardous, waste materials.
  • Good microbiological practice, such as sterilisation techniques and correct disposal of biological materials.
