Bio 156 Lab
LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points)
In the event of a chemical splash to the eyes, flood the eyes for at least 15-30 minutes with water. Flush from the eye outward. If you were not wearing proper eye wear, a chemical could splash into your eye and would make it necessary to use this. b. Fire Blanket (2 points)
Used in order to put out a small fire. If a small area of the lab caught fire, a fire blanket could be used to put it out. c. Shower (2 points)
Safety showers are designed to flood your body with water in the event of a fire or chemical spill. Stand under and activate the shower for at least 15-30 minutes. If a chemical were to spill on a large portion of your body, the shower could be used to wash it off. d. Chemical Spill Kit (2 points)
Chemical spills are treated differently from biological spills. A bleach solution is not appropriate for a chemical spill. If the spilled chemical is an acid, then an appropriate base will be used to neutralize that acid. If the spill is a solution that is basic in nature, then an appropriate acid is used to neutralize the spill. (An acid + a base → a salt + water) Note that the product is neutral. A chemical spill kit would be used anytime a chemical is spilled in the lab. e. Biological Spill Solution (2 points)
A 10% bleach solution. If blood were being used in an experiment, to say look under a microscope and was accidently spilled, this solution would need to be used to clean it up. 2. Briefly describe a situation when each of the following waste disposal containers would be used and give examples of the waste involved: (4 points) a. Broken Glass Container (2 points)
A 50 ml beaker is being used to measure out a substance for an experiment and is dropped by a student. The glass from the beaker should be disposed of in the broken glass container. b. Biological Hazards Materials

    Although a laboratory will have safety practices in place to avoid any unnecessary accidents, however if they do occur there will be procedures in place to report and deal with it and to prevent it from happening to anyone else. All laboratories should consist of a fire extinguisher and a first aid box including a fire blanket. These procedures should be in place if anything bad had occurred whilst working in the laboratory if these were not included and if someone had injured themselves or if there was a fire people’s lives would be at risk and the laboratory would not be safe to work in either.…
