In this series of lessons, we'll address important lab safety topics including: • Proper Dress & PPE • Safety Equipment • Behavior • Chemical Hazards • Safe Chemical Handling • Other General Lab Hazards The lab environment is hazardous by nature. The actual risk is largely determined by you and those working with you. It's your responsibility to know and follow the rules and be able to recognize potential safety hazards. This video series provides guidance for working safely in a modern science lab and is intended to supplement the formal instruction provided in each institution and lab. These videos are not a substitute for a safety training program. For a different take on lab safety training, check out our exciting short film, "Zombie College: The 5 Rules of Lab Safety," available now at http://youtu.be/S6WARqVdWrE.

"Zombie College" is a fun & educational film about lab safety. You made need to turn off YouTube's "Safety Mode" in order to watch it. "Zombie College" isn't graphic, scary, or profane, but it's occasionally blocked by content filters because it contains the word 'zombie.' The film is intended for high school and college science students. Whether you're a chemist, researcher, or a student in a freshman biology course, the laboratory is a potentially fatal workplace. Lab safety is more than just memorizing a list of "Dos and Don'ts"...working safely is a state of mind. Our challenge was to design a blended learning program to serve as a catalyst to get learners thinking about and discussing the topic of lab safety. The ultimate goal is developing "a safety state of mind" which is demonstrated by behavioral change. With Zombie College, lab safety training comes to life!
