4.0 Material Handling and Scientific Apparatus
If you're really lucky, you'll get to work with biological specimens, which are any
biological tissues, fluids, or organisms.
It's important for those of us working in the lab to handle specimens properly to avoid
contamination and other health hazards.
Depending on what you're working with, you should at least wear gloves to protect
your hands. Many of the specimens that are used in biology labs are preserved with
formaldehyde, which is great for preservation, but can be dangerous if you get it on
your skin, in your eyes, or breathe in the fumes.
The accuracy of the results depends on care in collecting and transporting
the specimen to the lab. The quality of the results influences the diagnosis
and treatment and therefore the clinical outcome.
The risk of the health care worker being exposed to an infectious agent
or contaminating the health care environment depends on maintaining
continuous infection control practices.
1. Wet preservation
2. Dry preservation
Wet preservation
Definition
The process of keeping the specimen wet in a suitable
preservative solution.
The storage place should be dry, dark, free from the presence of any
pests.
There are two types of dry preservation, namely:
Dry preservation for plant specimens
Dry preservation for animal specimens
Dry preservation for plant specimens
Collection
Specimen cuttings taken should be fresh and healthy.
Press on
Stacked horizontally between old newspapers.
Place plywood on the top and bottom of the stack of
specimens.
Drying
Dry in the oven at a temperature of 45 – 60 degree celcius for
3 - 6 days.
Dry in normal air (the newsprint must be changed every day
and the weight of the weights constantly added for about 2
weeks).
Wrapping paper should be sprayed with 40% formalin solution.
Labeling
Whether you’re transporting hazardous materials within a work site, or between worksites, it’s
essential that your team is familiar with the state or territory regulations.
Each state or territory has different regulations, including no-go transport zones where chemicals
can’t be transported, and specific transport documentation requirements. Be sure to contact your
local transport regulator to understand your state’s requirements - and relay this information to
your team
There are also key elements to be aware of when transporting dangerous goods, including the
flash points of flammable liquids, the storage temperatures of goods, and the transportation of
goods on work sites. Incorporate these into your training so that your team knows what to keep in
mind when moving chemicals in and around the workplace.
6. Educate on Risk Management Policies and Practices

Determining the purpose of the investigation, variables, patterns or
trends, observations, hypotheses, and conclusions during the practical
implementation of science lessons
The most important thing about a hypothesis is that it is testable. Experimental data is
collected to support or refute scientific hypotheses. If the trends, patterns, and
relationships within the data do not support a hypothesis, it is necessary to create a
different hypothesis which can then be tested.

In drawing conclusions (making inferences), you are really getting at
the ultimate meaning of things – what is important, why it is
important, how one event influences another, how one
happening leads to another
