First Aid supplies for minor injuries are in the glass-front cabinet to the left of the sink. If you injure yourself in the lab, please let us know regardless of how minor the injury. For a serious injury, contact us quickly so we may help you obtain prompt medical attention. You may want to forego contact lenses in the lab. Embalming fluid splashed in your eye can be a considerable irritant.
Dry eyes is a general complaint from some contact lens wearers while others have no problems.
Do not take tissues or tools out of the lab. The bodies must be kept quite moist. When the towels dry out they wick moisture away from the body so keep them wet, cover the body and close up the bodybag whenever you leave. Read before you dissect to make efficient use of dissection time. Check lab blackboards and bulletinboards for messages and tips.
