Safety Contract

We will conduct laboratory exercises periodically through out the school year.  You will be required to come to each lab fully prepared by reading the lab procedure prior to coming to class and having your protective clothing and eyewear on at all times.  Please read the following rules that must be followed each and every time you enter the Laboratory.

• Know where to locate and properly use the following safety equipment: Fire extinguisher, eye wash station, spill kits, first aid kit, safety shower, fire blanket, and exits.

• Never eat, drink, or chew gum in the lab.

• Protective eyewear, clothing, and footwear must be worn at all times.  Long hair must be tied back during all labs. 

• Dispose of all waste material properly as directed by the teacher.

• Keep your lab station and surrounding area clear of unnecessary items such as book bags, purses, sweatshirts, cell phones, etc.

• Clean your lab station after each session; put all glassware and such away, and wipe down the counter with the specified cleaner.

• Always wash your hands after each lab.

• Always work with your lab partner; never work alone.

• Remember-safety comes first in the science lab.  If you are unsure about anything, ask.
