Lab Safety POGIL

The Laboratory Layout Academic laboratory accidents are estimated to occur 10–50 times more frequently than chemical plant accidents. Laboratory accidents often have unexpected outcomes that may result in permanent injury.Dressing appropriately and following laboratory safety rules will reduce the incidence and severity of accidents and help keep students safe.a.) In the space below, sketch the outline of your laboratory room including all doors and windows.b.) Mark and label the position of the following laboratory safety equipment. 1. Fire blanket 2. Fire extinguisher 3. Broken glassware disposal 4. Chemical spill clean-up kit 5. Eyewash station 6. Fire exits 7. Evacuation routeIf you've forgotten what our classroom looks like, check out these pictures below. Look at the diagram below:a. List at least three inappropriate items of dress for the student on the left.b. List at least three appropriate items of dress for the student on the right. Please answer the following questions:a.) Why wear goggles while working with chemicals and glassware?b.) When working with a Bunsen burner what precautions should be taken with respect to your clothing and hair?c.) Why should one avoid wearing shorts or skirts while working with chemicals and with glassware?d.) What type of shoes should a student wear while working with chemicals and with glassware? If an accident occurred in the laboratory, which of the two students in the model would have protection provided by their clothing? Why? Look at the diagram below. In the table, record what lab safety protocol should be followed for each situation. Scene Potential Concern Proper Safe Behavior 1 Running in the lab No horseplay or running 2 Broken or chipped glassware Tell a teacher, dispose of in glass container 3 Listening to music and not paying attention No horseplay, pay attention 4 Drinking or eating from glassware the lab Do not eat or drink in the lab, especially from glassware 5 Open petri dish that contains bacteria sitting open and out on the table dispose of and store properly 6 Spilled chemicals let teacher know and clean up according to their directions. 7 Spill on the floor with students walking through it. Let teacher know and clean up according to their directions. 8 Paper and waste is everywhere, all over the floor! Clean up after yourself. Dispose of waste in appropriate areas. 9 That is a HOT hot plate. Don't touch! 10 We are using sharp items in the lab today... Be careful with sharp items! Don't cut yourself. 11 We are doing a dissection and have sharp items and biological waste. Don't cut yourself, dispose of properly. 12 Those are some dirty hands... Wash them!! Communication with your teacher in the laboratory can also help prevent accidents or injuries to yourself and others. For example, you should always tell your teacher if you spill something or are cut or injured when performing an experiment. You should also alert your teacher if any equipment or glassware is broken. Your teacher can provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which contain safety information about chemicals you may come in contact with in the laboratory. Chemicals should be disposed of safely, as directed by your teacher. Do not dump chemicals into the sink or trash unless your teacher tells you to do so.Answer the following questions:a.) Why is it important to let your teacher know if you cut, burn or injure yourself when performing an experiment?b.) Why should you tell your teacher if any equipment or glassware is broken?c.) Why should you never perform unauthorized experiments or ignore written directions for an experiment? Currently, we have additional protocols that must be followed when performing lab experiments due to COVID-19. What are those protocols?
