To prevent eye loss, students must wear goggles at all times while working in the organic chemistry lab . Any student caught working without adequate eye protection will be required to wash their eyes at the eyewash station. Contact lenses are prohibited in the lab, as they can easily trap chemicals. Sandals may not be worn in the lab, as they do not protect the foot from broken glass or spills. To prevent spilling chemicals onto the legs, students should wear adequate protection.
Trousers are best.
If shorts or skirts are worn, then an apron would help protect the thigh region. Students will alert their lab professor of broken glassware, mercury spills, and any accidents that happen. Students will adhere to the safety precautions given for each experiment to minimize risk. Any student endangering the life of a classmate or the professor will be removed from the lab. To minimize exposure to harmful chemicals, students will recap bottles following usage.
