 Be //very// careful to avoid eye contact with all chemicals. If you get strong alkalies like resist developers in your eye your vision will almost certainly be damaged! Avoid all skin contact with anorganic chemicals (acids and bases) and avoid their vapours by working in a fume hood. Avoid skin contact and especially inhalation of organic chemicals by working in a downflow bench, cleanbench or fumehood.  Be //very// careful to avoid eye contact with all chemicals.

 The cleanbenches and tables in the labs are not sample storage spaces. If samples are found there they will be immediately removed and stay for a month or so in the 'cupboard of shame', the trash can is the next destination. The cleanbenches and tables in the labs are not sample storage spaces.

 +A quick overview of DO's and DONT's:
 +   * DO refill the wash bottles when they are almost empty (10%)
 +   * DO empty the 1 liter waste bottles (wetbench cleanroom, cross flow sputter lab) in the big waste container (red label)
 +   * DO replace acetone/ethanol/IPA when you finish a bottle (you can find full bottles in the yellow chemicals cabinet in 607; yes you need to get out of the cleanroom for it)
 +   * DO inform me when we are running low (10%) on consumables (developers, resists, organic solvents, etc)
 +   * DO NOT put empty bottles back on the shelf!
 +   * DO NOT think it is the responsibility of someone else to refill or inform me. These things do not magically happen by dwarfs in the late evening!
