Safe Lab Practices Good lab practices are an integral part of conducting research safely. Engineering controls can limit exposure to hazards and PPE can protect a researcher's body, but making sure your behavior doesn't expose you or your colleagues to risks is important. These safe lab practices cover many of the common routes of exposure but are by no means a comprehensive list. No Food or Drink Consuming food in the lab can pose many hazards. Eating or drinking in the lab can, first and foremost, increase your risk of exposure to hazardous materials. Food or drink can leave a mess increasing the risks for contamination of your experiments and potentially attracting pests. Eating or drinking in the lab can also be a distraction that can lead to a spill or more serious incident. Wear Your PPE and Proper Lab Attire Lab coat, gloves, eye protection, and appropriate attire should be worn at all times in the lab. Long pants and shoes completely covering the top of the foot should be worn at all times when working in the lab. Lab coats will protect your clothes and your skin from splashes, spills, or other exposures to chemical or biological agents, and flames in some cases. Safety glasses or goggles will protect your eyes from physical of chemical harm. Skin will heal after minor burns or lacerations but your eyes will not. Eyes are fragile and safety glasses take about three seconds to put on, an eye injury can be permanent. Gloves protect your skin from hazardous materials your hands may come into contact with. However exposure can occur when removing gloves and disposing of them. Follow the steps in the video below to properly remove any gloves used in the lab. Good Hygiene Wash hands after handling any hazardous materials, before and after eating, and before leaving the lab. Keeping personal items separate from lab work. This will prevent spread of hazardous reagents and cut off a potential exposure route. Do not apply cosmetics while in the lab
