Hi Rosemary-
The ASM (American Society for Microbiology) Guidelines are a good resource as these are specifically for teaching, see ASM Biosafety Guidelines

I agree with talking to those in your institution who have run/overseen these particular labs before--
best wishes-
Margaret

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
