Trip Planning & Safety
At a minimum, you should consider taking and using the following safety equipment: protective clothing, helmet, goggles, gloves, seatbelts, (4WDs and dune buggys), first-aid kit, map, matches, and a signal mirror. If you own a cellular phone, take it with you.
Make sure you have enough fuel (2-cycle oil if required) and drinking water for the round trip. Drinking water can be more important than fuel in the desert
When in the desert, consider staying with your vehicle if it is disabled rather than setting off on your own for help.
Avoid driving or stopping in tall grass or brush or where natural fuels come in contact with hot vehicle parts. Stop only in cleared areas.

Practice Safe Road Habits

Drive with courtesy. Be prepared to yield the right of way anytime there is doubt and you can safely do so.
Stay to the right side of the road or trails.
Approach curves and hill crests with caution. Assume there are vehicles ahead and slow accordingly.
Don't go down a trail you haven't been up first. If you don't like what you find, you may not be able to go back up.
Go with a friend. Two heads and two vehicles are better than one.
Allow extra room and stopping distance when approaching other vehicles, especially youngsters, who may be less experienced.

Risk assessments and mitigation measures are dependent on:

The procedures performed
Identification of the hazards involved in the process and procedures
The competency level of the personnel who perform the procedures
The laboratory equipment and facility
The resources available

Follow Standard Precautions | Section IV when handling clinical specimens, all of which may contain infectious materials. Standard Precautions include hand hygiene and the use of specific personal protective equipment (PPE) determined by the potential for exposure to blood, body fluids, and infectious material. PPE, such as laboratory coats or gowns, gloves, eye protection, or a disposable mask and face shield, can help protect the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
For more information, see

Biological Risk Assessment: General Considerations for Laboratories
Core Infection Prevention and Control Practices for Safe Healthcare Delivery in All Settings

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard

Decontaminate work surfaces and equipment with appropriate disinfectants by using an EPA-approved disinfectant for SARS-CoV-2. Laboratory waste generated during processing and testing should be discarded as biohazardous waste. Waste disposal regulations vary from state to state; therefore, all waste disposal procedures must comply with local, regional, state, national, and international regulations. See EPA regulations and State Universal Waste Programs in the United States for more information.
For training courses available online, see Biosafety Training.

Back To Top

SAFETY FIRST!

Remain calm, reassuring. Alert staff to potential hazards.
Look for loose or downed power lines. Avoid area. Report problems to local utility.
Look for electrical system damage: sparks, broken/frayed wires, smell of burning insulation. Turn off electricity at main switch if you can without risk.
Shut off water.
Home Fires | Ready.gov
Turn off the stove if you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time.Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking.Position barbecue grills at least 10 feet away from siding and deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.Keep a fire extinguisher available.
Electrical and Appliance Safety
Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords immediately and do not run cords under rugs or furniture.If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension cord.Immediately shut off, then professionally replace, light switches that are hot to the touch and lights that flicker.
Holiday Safety
Turn off holiday lights at night or when you leave the house.Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections.Keep candles at least 12 inches away from flammable materials or consider using flameless candles.Water your Christmas tree daily and don’t let it dry out. A dry tree is more flammable. Make sure your tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights, and not blocking an exit.Don’t overload extension cords and outlets.

Fireplaces and Woodstoves
Inspect and clean woodstove pipes and chimneys annually and check monthly for damage or obstructions.Use a fireplace screen heavy enough to stop rolling logs and big enough to cover the entire opening of the fireplace to catch flying sparks.Make sure the fire is completely out before leaving the house or going to bed.
Portable Space Heaters
Keep combustible objects at least three feet away from portable heating devices.Only buy heaters evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).Check to make sure the portable heater has a thermostat control mechanism and will switch off automatically if the heater falls over.Only use crystal clear K-1 kerosene in kerosene heaters. Never overfill it. Use the heater in a well-ventilated room away from curtains and other flammable items.
Keeping Children Safe
Make A Plan | Ready.gov
How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?What is my shelter plan?What is my evacuation route?What is my family/household communication plan?Do I need to update my emergency preparedness kit?

Step 2:  Consider specific needs in your household.

As you prepare your plan tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets or specific needs like operating medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some these factors when developing your plan:
Different ages of members within your householdResponsibilities for assisting othersLocations frequentedDietary needsMedical needs including prescriptions and equipmentDisabilities or access and functional needs including devices and equipmentLanguages spokenCultural and religious considerationsPets or service animalsHouseholds with school-aged children

Tips for packing a healthy lunch 

Choose Water for Health
	

Our bodies need water to work properly. Water helps our body use nutrients found in food and helps control our body temperature. Plain water has zero calories and is a healthier option than sugary beverages. Health experts commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses a day. For those who don’t like the taste of plain water, try infusing your water with fruits, herbs, or vegetables, as these ingredients allows you to naturally consume more vitamins and nutrients while providing a tasteful experience.
	

	Learn why you should choose water over Sugar Sweetened Beverages.

Space History Is Made in This NASA Robot Factory
Once their feet are covered with booties, they step over a line onto the clean side of the room.Then it's time to don a bunny suit, face mask, hair cover and latex gloves before taping sleeves closed. (A mannequin called High Bay Bob stands on the floor of High Bay 1, demonstrating proper attire and giving visitors a sense of scale.) Finally, they step into an "air shower" that blows stray particles off the outside of their garments.Static electricity can interfere with electronics, so personnel wear an antistatic cord around one wrist, with a clip on the other end to attach to hardware in the clean room. As added precautions against static electricity, humidity in the room is kept at about 45% and the concrete floor has a special epoxy coating to bleed static charge that builds up in garments as people move about the room.The Wall of FameThe mission emblems that line the top of High Bay 1's south wall aren't exempt from the cleanliness requirements. The idea for the placards came about in 2008, when Acord was tasked with preserving the Spacecraft Assembly Facility's history. Representing JPL's biggest missions, the emblems would serve as a testament to engineers' hard work assembling and testing hardware.Visitors to High Bay 1 may have noticed the south wall is running out of room for additional placards. But there's always more space to explore: Emblems might expand onto the east wall in the future. 
 Here are all the missions that have passed through

Life Jacket Storage Tips 

To extend your life jacket's useful life:

Ensure life jackets are dry before storing them.
Store your life jackets in a dry dark location with ventilation to avoid rot, mold and mildew damage.
Avoid leaving unused life jackets out in the sun. Ultraviolet rays break down the life jacket fibers.
Do not bend or place heavy objects on top of life jackets.
