Introduction

Safety is of utmost importance in the laboratory. Shorts, dresses, tank tops, and open-toed shoes are not permitted within the CHEM 4433 laboratory. Laboratory coats and/or aprons are not required but are highly recommended. Food and drink are also forbidden. At all times goggles will be worn within the lab and failure to do so will result in one of the following: (first offense) a verbal warning, (second offense) a 5% reduction of the appropriate report grade, and (3) expulsion from the laboratory; no make-up time will be allowed. Subsequent offenses will require discussions with the Instructor, student, and Chemistry Department chairperson to decide the appropriate measures to be taken.
