Faculty members are responsible for compliance with applicable regulations and policies which govern work and the safety of workers and visitors in their labs. Ed is available to assist faculty and staff with specific issues or to help organize for compliance.
Everyone at the Duke Marine Lab should be aware that many hazards exist in laboratory work environments. Several keys ideas contribute to a safe and accident free work and learning environment:
- Clearly label all containers (even water) and hazards
- Exercise your “right to know” – ask about potential hazards in your work environment, learn to read material safety data sheets [MSDS]
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Know and use appropriate personal protective equipment [PPE]
- Stay up to date with training and refresh your safety memory often
- Plan for and know emergency procedures
In the event of some work related injury or near mishap, respond calmly and report the incident. Forms are online here.
