2. Quick Safety Reference Guide:

3. Remember:

Test eyewash monthly and keep record (http://oregonstate.edu/ehs/sites/default/files/pdf/si/eyewash_and_safety_shower_si.pdf)
No electrical hazards in lab (i.e. cords not cracked/frayed, power strips plugged directly into outlet, no improvised electrical devices in use, circuit breaker panels unobstructed, drying ovens with safety procedures on front

4. Work with your lab PI to keep the chemical inventory current.

5. If you work with lasers:

Keep goggles in lab available and well marked. Nice to have system in place where inform people outside what wavelength in use
Coordinate lab-specific laser training with the lab manager or PI
If illuminated sign not working, inform PI
For questions on laser safety, contact the lab manager, PI, or the OSU laser safety officer (link to email here: http://oregonstate.edu/ehs/laser under "Training")
