Hi all,

I know this is a chemistry safety group, but many of us are the CHO’s of our institutions and therefore also deal with chemicals in biology labs. I’m wondering how your biology lab safety rules differ from your chemistry lab safety rules. Looking at general biology, organismal biology, cell biology, anatomy (cadavers), microbiology, and research labs. Do you require safety glasses? Safety goggles? Closed toe shoes? Lab coat? Gloves? Can students work alone in the lab? Anything and everything.

Feel free to respond privately if you wish, I’m happy to compile the data (without identifying institutions) if anyone would like to see it.

Thanks in advance.

Rose
