  2. Dissection Safety • Terms

  3. Dissection Safety • Equipment Considerations • Protective gloves, aprons • Protective eyewear are dissection necessities

  4. Dissection Safety • Rationale • Dissection of preserved organisms is an integral part of many life sciences courses • Respect

  5. Dissection Safety • Scalpel Safety • Hold a scalpel as you would a pencil • Cut with a downward motion but never push down very hard to make a cut (If extreme pressure is required, you have a dull scalpel or require a different instrument)

  6. Dissection Safety • Scalpel Safety • Cut away from the body and away from other students • Do not use excessive force when working with sharp instruments • Use scissors instead of scalpels wherever possible

  7. Dissection Safety • Scalpel Safety • Watch the placement of your specimen-holding hand • Do not cut toward your holding hand • Scalpels are not appropriate for bone or cartilage tissue work

  8. Dissection Safety • Cleanup and Disposal of Preserved Materials • Proper cleanup and disposal of dissected materials is critical • Animal Waste • Chemical Waste • Gloves and paper towels • Plenty of soap and water should be used after all dissection work and adequate time should be provided for the proper cleanup of materials and
