Dear All,
With winter vacation approaching and the current epidemic situation, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety provides the following reminders to facilitate laboratory safety management to better tackle the challenges:
1. Start from wearing a mask, be the first responsible person for your own health. A person with uncomfortable symptoms is not recommended to continue experimental work.
2. Laboratory should have emergency plans for various situations such as fire, explosion, electric shock, spill prevention and control during the epidemic period, and in response to emergencies such as experimental interruption, equipment shutdown, and personnel quarantine.
3. In the event of an emergency, notify the laboratory safety manager and the School / Center as soon as possible.
4. Once a lab personnel is notified to evacuate, ensure that electricity, ventilation, instruments, experimental process, hazardous chemical storage, etc. remain in safe condition. The last person to leave the lab should make sure water, electricity, gas, doors and windows are properly shut down.
5. Each laboratory should cooperate with the School / Center to implement laboratory safety precautions, and ensure investigation and mitigation of potential hazards and risks.
Sincerely,
Office of Environment, Health and Safety
