Safety Measures

Laboratory Safety Guidelines

1. Maintain the proper environment of the laboratory and avoid creating chaos to prevent any undesired situations.
2. Never plug leads into a power source unless they are connected to an established circuit.
3. Check circuits for proper grounding with respect to the power source.
4. Avoid contacting circuits with wet hands or wet materials.
5. If overheating is observed in any of the modules/kits, turn off the power supply and inform the Lab-in-charge immediately.
6. Do not bring highly flammable liquids inside the laboratory.
7. In case of fire, use the nearest available fire extinguisher.
8. Do not bring any food items or water inside the laboratory.
9. Remove your shoes before entering the laboratory. Keep bags and shoes in their proper place.
