Lab notebook and safety practical
Thu, Jan 28, 2027 · Week 2 · Human Anatomy & Physiology (Human Body Systems)
Today's goal: Set up a dated HBS lab notebook and pass a PPE and SDS safety practical.
What a finished product looks like
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
SDS Checklist (for the chemical I was assigned):
- Section 2 (Hazards): the SDS lists the product as causing skin and serious eye irritation. Signal word: Warning.
- Section 8 (PPE): requires safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and a lab coat or apron.
- Section 4 (First aid): for eye contact, rinse with water at the eyewash for at least 15 minutes and seek help; for skin contact, wash with soap and water.
PPE I put on for the mock task: goggles, gloves, lab coat. Checked by my partner.
Lab equipment I located: eyewash station (back left sink), sharps container (by the door), SDS binder (on the supply shelf).
Notebook page one (dated):
- Objective: set up my HBS lab notebook and pass the PPE and SDS safety check.
- Data: SDS sections recorded above; PPE check passed.
- Analysis: I can find hazards in Section 2, PPE in Section 8, and first aid in Section 4 of any SDS.
- Reflection: I now know to read the SDS before touching any chemical or specimen.
Also due today: Submit the checklist and the dated notebook photo together as one PDF or combined photo upload.
