Personal protective equipment
Ensure it is appropriate
• In some laboratories eye protection is MANDATORY obey the area safety signs
• Use Nitrile gloves (unless other types specified in RA)
Latex gloves very strongly discouraged
• Other specialist PPE, as per the RA
Use Engineering Controls whenever possible
![Page 27: Health & Safety Induction - University of Bristol · 2014-10-06 · Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 Sect. 2 • Provide and maintain safe plant and safe systems of work • Make](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042307/5ed2db91a079355bb26d9c07/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Chemical safety
• In Composite Materials Labs the wearing of Lab coats, safety glasses and closed shoes are mandatory
• Be aware of chemicals even if you don’t work with them
• Hazardous chemicals are marked with orange symbols & require a COSHH assessment
• Don’t handle or mix chemicals you know nothing about, they may seriously injure or kill you
• Clean up after yourself
• Take care with unknown spillages
• Ensure correct storage and disposal
