While working with gaseous, liquid, solid
or powdered hazardous substances, it is
compulsory to observe the preventive
measures given in the respective
guidelines, handouts as well as accident
prevention regulations (see appendix).
Substances not proven to be harmless
must be handled like hazardous

The General Laboratory policies are
valid irrespective of existing special
regulations.

Existing eating, drinking or smoking
prohibitions in the laboratory area have
to be strictly adhered to.

all times.
Compressed gas cylinders may neither
be stored nor kept in the laboratory.
After finishing laboratory work, all gas,
water and air lines that are no longer
