Lab Safety Lesson 2: Safety Equipment

In this lesson, we'll talk about safety equipment found in the lab. These items may help you save a life - if and when - an accident occurs.
• Safety shower and eye wash station
• Fire extinguisher
• Fire blanket
• First aid kit
• Evacuation route
• Chemical fume hood

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://lsteam.org/zombiecollege or http://youtu.be/S6WARqVdWrE.
