If you have a smell in your room that you cannot identify, the first thing to do is to pour water in any drains that are not in continuous use. The smell should dissipate within 15 minutes. If it does not, contact the College Physical Plant Unit at 2-5231.
Accidents involving electricity can be fatal.
The numerous electrical equipment in the laboratories requires that a great deal of attention be paid to some elementary rules. Never work on electrical equipment unless it is unplugged. No frayed cords are permitted in a laboratory. Fused plug strips are acceptable, but cannot be used in series with other plug strips or extension cords. Electrical equipment that runs unattended in a laboratory must be equipped with manual reset electrical overload devices.
