A laser laboratory is a hazardous place with many potentially
lethal pieces of equipment. There are constant hazards to vision and you
can be permanently blinded if you are careless! We also use toxic and
hazardous chemicals and you must be familiar with their hazards before you will
be allowed to purchase them.
You must be aware of laboratory safety before entering the
lab. All students are required to read the safety manuals posted below and
sign a statement saying they have read and understood this information.

Material
Safety Data Sheets for chemicals used in our
laboratory. An MSDS has health, fire, and reactivity hazard data for a particular
chemical. You must familiarize yourself with any potential hazards
before using a chemical. If a chemical used
in the lab is not listed in our MSDS list, you can look it up from the
Vermont SIRI database. |
