Rosemary,
Like any lab a solid
hazard assessment is critical for teaching laboratories. Having spent 25 years in a department of biological sciences, I've seen the risk to hazards under estimated for safety in biological laboratories..

Hi all,
I'm relatively new to this CHO business. Definitely new to anything related to biology safety. What do you do in your instructional biology labs for PPE? Goggles? Glasses? Lab coats? Gloves? Does it depend on the lab?
I can understand not using goggles/glasses when using a microscope, I can't see through the eyepieces with even my prescription glasses. How about when pipetting? Always? Or only when the volumes are a certain amount? Only when dealing with toxic chemicals?
I appreciate any and all comments.
Thank you.
Rose
