    1. Conducting Laboratory Safety Audits

    7. Work Practices

    8. When performing laboratory audits, check to see that employees are using prudent lab practices. Look for things like open-toed shoes and employees wearing gloves outside of the lab.

    9. Appropriate personal protective equipment is paramount. Check to see that lab coats, goggles, gloves, etc., are available, are in good condition and most importantly, that they are used.

    10. Disposable gloves (white, purple) are not suitable for use with many chemicals. Check to see that lab employees are aware of glove chemical compatibility charts and know how to use them. If latex gloves are worn frequently, apprise employees of latex allergy hazards.

    14. Signs

    15. Check to see that an emergency information card is posted just outside of the main laboratory entrance. Cards are available from EH&S, but any card will do as long as it has the information shown below.
