CIVIL ENGINEERING LAB SAFETY RULES & REGULATIONS

The regulations listed below are designed to maintain a high level of safety awareness in the
civil engineering laboratory. It is believed that having an understanding of inherent hazards and
learning how to be safe should be the integral and important parts of the education process. The
regulations will be consistently enforced and non-compliance will result in the suspension from
the laboratory.

1. Attendance in all lectures & lab experiments is compulsory. Students must be punctual
