Laboratory Regulations

The department's laboratory regulations are aimed at reducing the likelihood of accidents occurring and to ensure that all safety procedures with regard to the handling and use of laboratory apparatus and chemicals are followed.

For reasons of personal safety, and the safety of others, these regulations must be strictly followed. All students engaged in laboratory work must read and understand these regulations before proceeding with experimental work. A copy is provided in the course-specific laboratory guide.

At the beginning of each term, students are required to sign a written statement, indicating that they have both read and understand the regulations.

If you have any questions at all, consult your laboratory supervisor before proceeding with any experimental work.

Where Can I Find The Laboratory Regulations?

First year chemistry students can find the regulations in section 2.4 of the laboratory guide.
