On February 7, 2012, please ensure adherence to essential laboratory safety protocols. Key reminders include: keep glassware out of sinks, ensure all needles are capped, and fully lower fume hood sashes with lights off. Safety showers and eye wash stations must be unobstructed, and no glass bottles should be on the floor. Keep waste containers closed and labeled, store flammable liquids properly, label wash bottles, and clearly mark peroxide-forming solvents with purchase and opening dates. Store solvent drums in flammable cabinets, do not keep empty drums in stockrooms, and secure gas containers. Remember to follow the sign-out procedure.
