Wearing of contact lemses in a chemistry laboratory can be harmful to your visual health. Contact lenses should be replaced by prescription glasses except in the rare cases where this is not possible. Contact lens wearers must report this to the teaching assistant at the beginning of the semester. In any event, wearers of contacts or prescription glasses must protect their eyes with safety goggles. If you should get a chemical into your eyes, wash with flowing water from the eyewash for approximately 15-20 minutes, and notify your teaching assistant.
Students are to be appropriately dressed in the laboratory at all times, even during check-out.
Appropriately dressed constitutes wearing clothing that protects the skin from the neck to below the knees. Sleeveless or tank-top shirts, shorts, or skirts that don't cover the knees are not acceptable in the laboratory. Open toed shoes or heeled shoes or sandals are not to be worn in the laboratory. Perform no unauthorized experiments. Never use an open flame when working with organic solvents.
