Mrs. Dunn's Lab Safety Rules & Contract 21-22 I, ______________________, a student in PAP Biology at Dayton High School, do hereby agree to follow all safety rules and regulations as set forth by the teacher, Mrs. Dunn. I realize that compliance with these rules is necessary to assure the safe operation of the school laboratory and to provide a safe environment not only for myself, but also for my fellow students and for Mrs. Dunn as well. I will, therefore, cooperate fully with the teacher and students to assure all of us the safest laboratory possible. • I will always conduct myself in a responsible manner in the laboratory. • I will study the laboratory activity before coming to the lab and will be prepared to ask • I will dress accordingly for the lab environment, taking care to wear the proper clothing to class as well as wearing/utilizing all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) for conducting the lab. • I will follow all written and verbal instructions carefully.

I will not dispose of anything without first checking with my instructor. • I will report any accident (spill, breakage, etc.) or injury (cut, burn, etc.) to the teacher immediately, no matter how trivial it seems.
