A REMINDER TO THE STUDENT: GUIDELINES & POLICIES in the LABORATORY

______ During the First Meeting, each group is assigned a locker to be used for the whole semester. Be
sure that the cabinet is securely locked. Bring your own padlock and key on the Second Meeting.

______ The members of the group are responsible for all items issued under their names and any breakage
or loss will be charged to the group. The integrity of the items issued to the group is the sole
responsibility of the group members.

______ The group may borrow other items from the Stock Room on an “as need” basis.
A member of the group fills up a Borrower’s Slip a week before the experiment and presents his/her
ID Card. At the end of the lab period, the group returns all borrowed items listed in the Borrower’s
Slip to the Lab Technician. The student, in turn, receives his/her ID card and Borrower’s Slip from
the Technician.

______ The group will be assigned a specific work area and it is their responsibility to keep it clean and
orderly. Throw paper and matchsticks in the trash bin. Verify with your Lab Instructor which
chemical wastes can be flushed down the sink with running water and which ones are to be
disposed in chemical wastes containers. Check the water faucet and gas outlet after using. Report
leaks to the Lab Instructor or Technician.

______ Always wear the appropriate laboratory attire. Students not wearing the appropriate lab attire will
automatically get an absence mark and will be prohibited to perform the experiment. Sleeveless
shirts, shorts, skirts and open-toed footwear are not allowed. Wear shoes that shed or repel liquids.
Always secure long hair with a clip, hair clamp or band. Remove necktie or scarf when performing
experiments.

______ Wear your lab gown and goggles while performing an experiment. The lab gown and goggles are
worn as long as the student is within the working area of the lab room. Students are also required
to wear the lab gown while washing/cleaning the glassware/lab items (before and after the
performance of the experiment).

______ NO UNAUTHORIZED EXPERIMENTATION! Students are not allowed to perform experiments

other than the one that is indicated in the procedure of the experiment scheduled for the Day.
Irresponsible mixing of solutions, esp. without proper supervision, may result in serious accidents.

______ Report all accidents, no matter how minor it may appear, to the Lab Instructor.
All accidents must be recorded and students who need/require immediate medical attention must
be sent to the University Clinic.

This confirms that the undersigned has read the Laboratory Guidelines & Policies and will abide by it
