INDEX
HKUST policy requires that all personnel, including visitors, wear eye
protection at all times while in Chemistry Department laboratories. Not to do
so may incur disciplinary action. Eye protection is discussed in detail in
Chapter 4.1 of this Safety Manual.
Whenever chemical waste is added to a chemical waste container,
immediately enter the information of the new waste to the chemical waste log
sheet attached to the container.
