What do each of the four (4) diamonds: Yellow, Red, Blue, and White in the MSDS safety diamond represent?
1. Explain why warning signs in labs are symbol heavy
2. List and explain purpose of preventative safety equipment
3. List and explain purpose of responsive safety equipment
4. Explain what to do if an incident occurs5. Draw an accurate floor plan of their
classroom lab safety equipment locations
Preventative – Used to reduce the risk of an accident and avert exposure.
Responsive – Used when an incident has occurred to minimized damage and contain exposure
What do these sign tell you?
Do you think there is a need to have universal symbols for cautioning people? Why? Come up with three (3) reasons.
Images from IFSTA Hazardous Materials for First Responders 4th Edition Ch. 2
Here are examples of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) safety symbol you will see in the lab.
What do you notice about these that make them easy for anyone
to recognizes, give three (3) examples.
Two (2) types:Preventative – Used to reduce the risk of
an accident and avert exposure.Responsive – Used when an incident has
occurred to minimized damage and contain exposure
The number one purpose of all types of safety equipment is to prevent human
injury and loss of life.
List three (3) pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE).
In addition to these the lab is out fitted with other equipment. We ALWAYS use preventative equipment.
Safety Signs Fume Hood
Used to contain & evacuate fumes/
gasses
Goggles, Aprons, and Gloves
We ALWAYS use preventative equipment.
RespiratorsAbsorbent Station Pads Hand Wash
Station
Insure we do not transfer contaminates
out of the lab
Helps keep accidental spills/ drips contain and
easy clean up

Used to keep contaminants from entering
respiratory system
Used in the unfortunate event of an incident. We hope to never use these.
Hand Wash Station
Eye Wash Station
Safety Shower
Fire Extinguisher
Absorbent Pads

Spill a biological or chemical on hands:Immediately wash with Soap and water for 15min,
lab partner should notify instructor immediately.Spill or splash a biological or chemical on face or in eyes:
Immediately rinse out in eye wash station until instructor says to stop. Lab partner should help you over to station then get instructor.Spill or splash a biological or chemical all over body:
Immediately remove all clothes except undergarments and rinse under safety shower until instructor says to stop. Lab partner should get instructor.
Spill Chemicals or Biologicals on lab bench or floor: Take care of your body first if it contacts you.Notify others around you and instructor.Clean up.
Fire:Notify instructorPull fire alarm if instructed and prepare to evacuate
Gas or toxic fume leak:Notify instructorPrepare to evacuate room
Using an entire page in your lab book, sketch a floor layout of the lab as is looking down on it. Include all permanent structures: doors, benches, tables, cabinets, fume hood, etc.
Now, locate all of the safety equipment we talked about and draw it into your layout.
