2. INTRODUCTION / THEORY

2.1 SAFETY POLICY

All operations shall be undertaken with the objective of reducing risks to personnel health and to
enhance safety practices at work. It is the duty of all personnel, to understand the operational
instructions and be aware of the hazards at the laboratory and to execute all duties with safety as
the prime considerations.

All personnel are required to play an active role in accident prevention by adopting safe working
practices and to follow all operation and safety instructions. All personnel are encouraged to
improve safe working conditions at the side by reporting any unsafe conditions and working
practices to the person in-charge.

2.2 Safety Guidelines

All personnel are reminded of their duty to uphold safety work with the following 10 points safety
guidance principles.
• Think of temporary or permanent disabilities or death as result of any accident.
• Avoid alcoholic drinks.
• Consult with person in-charge in case of doubt.
• Safety comes with a cheerful atmosphere.
• Lead a healthy life, both physically and mentally.
• Dress neatly and appropriate for the occasion.
• Check and handle working tools with care.
• Understand work instructions and site conditions.
• Use personal protective equipment in an appropriate manner.
• Adopt safe and correct working practices.

2.3 Housekeeping

All personnel are encouraged to practice good housekeeping at the laboratory by observing the
following:

• Store and keep plant, equipment, tools and material in designated areas.
• Avoid obstructing access and escape routes.
• Cleanup working area or job site.
• Dispose of rubbish and excess material in appropriate manner.
• Report accidents to person in-charge immediately.

Electrically powered equipment, such as machines, switchboards and power supplies are essential
elements of many laboratories. These devices can pose a significant hazard to laboratory
workers, particularly when mishandled or not maintained. Many laboratory electrical devices
have high voltage or high power requirements, carrying even more risk.

The following practices may reduce risk of injury or fire when working with electrical equipment:

• Avoid contact with energized electrical circuits.

• Disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing electrical equipment.
• When it is necessary to handle equipment that is plugged in, be sure hands are dry and
when possible, wear nonconductive gloves and shoes with insulated soles.
• If it is not unsafe to do so, work with only one hand, keeping the other hand at your side or
in your pocket, away from all conductive material. This precaution reduces the likelihood
of accidents that result in current passing through the chest cavity.
• Minimize the use of electrical equipment in cold rooms or other areas where
condensation is likely. If equipment must be used in such areas, mount the equipment
on a wall or vertical panel.
• If water or a chemical is spilled onto equipment, shut off power at the main switch or
circuit breaker and unplug the equipment.
• If an individual comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, do not touch the
equipment, cord or person. Disconnect the power source from the circuit breaker or
pull out the plug using a leather belt.
