...Lab Safety against Pathogenic Bacteria Considering that there are still a lot of unknown bacteria, it is really important that in lab when handling bacteria extreme precaution is taken towards handling them and to treat them as pathogenic. Today it is an acknowledged fact that anyone in the laboratory whether they are researchers, scientist, or students must follow all guidelines and safety rules for their safety. Every laboratory has its own lab safety equipment and guidelines such as dress code, goggles, gloves etc. Now it is crucial that a laboratory is well-maintained and treated with the proper care to avoid all dangers that can happen while working in lab. That is why there are safety checks and duties for everyone to follow while in lab especially when it comes seeing all bacteria as pathogenic. Bacteria should all be treated as pathogenic because not everything needed to know about bacteria is known, and whether they are pathogenic or not is known by students in the lab. Bacteria can harm the human body in a severe way by causing major diseases, such as tuberculosis, plague, syphilis, and cholera (Human). Even though bacteria dealt with in the laboratory may not cause any of these diseases, the possibility is still there and that is why there are safety precautions in place to prevent these from occurring. The threat of these potential diseases shows why handling bacteria properly is important. Lab safety is the most important thing a student can learn to protect...

...What safety procedures must you follow during this lab period? During this lab period, the safety procedure that should be followed are safety glasses, lab coat gloves and proper tools for dissection. Use a text book or online references to define the following word modifiers. Proto= “first” Deutero=second Stome= “organism having a mouth or mouthlike organ” Nephro= “relating to kidneys” How might you benefit from remembering the definitions of word parts? I might benefit from remembering the definitions of word parts because if I cannot remember the definition of the whole word the prefix or suffix can at least give me an idea of what it is. What diagnostic features are present in mollusks and annelids were not present in the phyla studied in the previous lab exercises? What...

...Are the Lessons Learned in Laboratory Safety Applicable to Real World Scenarios? Hook: Have you ever thought that you may be eaten by an alligator? How about having all of your hair burned off by a Bunsen burner? Have you ever thought that you could contract the plague just from not wearing gloves? Well no one does! However, it happens more often than you would think. Overview: Most science classes begin with an overview of laboratory safety procedures. Many teachers agree that this is an important topic to discuss due to the recent increase of accidents in labs not only at the high school level, but also in universities and in professional settings. The purpose of this document-based question is to have you evaluate the necessity of learning laboratory safety. You are to examine the documents and search for evidence to support your answer to the question, “Are the lessons learned in laboratory safety applicable to real world scenarios?” The Documents: Document A - A Death in the Lab Document B - University of Chicago Microbiologist Infected From Possible Lab Accident Document C - Danger in School Labs: Accidents Haunt Experimental Science Document D - Animal Handling Safety Document E - Graphs of Death by Mechanism and Occupation Understanding the Question 1.

...In a laboratory it is important that you have good knowledge of the equipment and the ability to use the equipment. You must also know how to keep the equipment in good working order. You must have a knowledge of the laboratory procedures and practices that are followed in a scientific workplace. One reason procedures and practices are followed in the scientific workplace is health and safety. Health and safety is always an important factor to consider in a scientific workplace. For example, when conducting an experiment, it is important that protective clothing is always worn as a precaution. If this precaution is not followed injury or contamination could occur. All spillages must be reported and cleaned up...

This includes fire extinguishers, phones, showers, etc. The safety equipments available to me while doing the experiments are safety gear, such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Also, equipments such as extinguishers, fire blankets, shower and eye washes are important to have and should be located around and near you for quick use. 2. What is an MSDS? An MSDS is a material safety data sheet where it contains the chemical’s or item’s physical or chemical characteristics. It also lists the information about health and safety about the usage of the product. 3. What can make glassware unuseble? Glassware become unusable when it has cracks on them because they become dangerous when experimenting anything especially using them with heating. 4. When should you wear goggles in the lab?
