What is laboratory safety? How is it beneficail for the lab?

If you already work in a lab.. especially a path lab, you already know.\n\n#1  Reduce risk of contaminants escaping their confines\n\n#2  Reduce risk of injury WHEN contaminants do escape their confines (use of vent systems, etc)\n\n#3  A clear system of expected protocols reduces risk of injury & death to humans and damage to equipment\n\n#4  Having documentation allows information to be followed up if/when injury occurs so that data can be accumulated (if it is blood (etc), did the patient have infectious disease, etc)\n\nThere are so many things to be named, I am sure you can come up with other ideas.

Perhaps you mean "aseptic manipulations" in a BSC (Biological Safety Cabinet).  It sounds like you are being asked to record what you see in terms of aseptic technique.\n\nRead these for some guidance on what you might expect to see:\nhttp://www.globalrph.com/aseptic.htm\nhttp://www.ibc.umn.edu/cabinet.html\n\nCheers-

BP is a term (it might be copywrited, I do not know) that indicates the drug is safe to use with people having high blood pressure.\n\nGuaiphenesis or how ever it is spelled is an expectorant, that helps make for a more watery flim so it can be coughed up.\n\nSalbutamol if i remember right is a Beta two agonist which relaxes the airway for easier breathing for asmatic patients, its long acting, should not be used for sudden attacks, and might increase the heart rate or make a person nervous at higher doses.

so you don't screw up the experiment\nso you don't get hurt, go blind, die etc.\nso you don't cause a fire/explosion\nso you don't accidentally inject yourself with an infectious disease\nthe reasons can go on and on

Many antidotes are actually antibody solutions- If you have a toxin in your body, and you are given on antibody (made in a culture dish, or by a different animal) then the antibody will bind to the toxin (or bacterial protein, etc) and decrease it's toxicity.  I won't go into the biochemistry of it.

the blood tests are not that sensitive, its the best that are available on the market but these tests only increase sensitivity as the systems are developeed/

Im a microbiologist working in a pathology lab.....its a bit slow at the moment - people are too healthy!

The white powder is a preservative.  Doesn't have anything to do with your blood alcohol.\n\nThere's no amount they're "supposed" to draw, but there is a minimum amount that has to be drawn to provide the lab with a sufficient amount to test and have enough left over for the defense to have re-tested.  What that amount is will vary by state law, lab policy and maybe even prosecutor's policy.

it could danger to u\nu should first check what is it all about because people involved in these types of work generally get the undertaking that if something happens to person undergoing test they will not b responsible\nbut if u feel so Strong to help them Coz they also do some good work for community,then u go through all the conditions and regulations and consult Ur doctor\n\ngood luck

Sterile technique and Universal precautions. You should not being doing this. A trained healthcare worker should. What are you doing this for?

Almost every item and activity has its associated risk. Nightmare!\nHowever, risk assessments are very useful.\nIn 25 years of teaching in Science labs. the worst H & S issue involving my pupils was a singed finger. Schools are actually very safe places.

Wear your PPE (Personal protective equipment). The safest way would probably be to dispense it in a fume hood, with secondary containment (e.g. inside a container with boundaries). You'll want the secondary containment to contain something that can neutralize the base, such as a weak acid. This is for the liquid.\n\nThe solid sample should be dispensed in a fume hood, using a scoopula to transport the sample after it has been poured out.

Just curiosity: given by a boyfriend or girlfirend?\nAlso how old are you both. Then I will be able to give some answer about safety.\n\nOf course, you have no lab to make analysis what is really in it...

"Safe"?   It is mostly whey - a milk extract.  Is milk "safe"?  What would make a food product unsafe?  Being contaminated with something?  That would trigger a product recall.\n\nI would suspect that MET-Rx protein products are just as effective as any other protein product.  Your actual results will depend entirely on how much weight lifting you do and how hard you are pushing yourself.\n\nThe only drawback that I have found with MET-Rx is that it tends to stick to the side of my shaker cup more than other brands.  I tend to use AST-SS products more often, they mix easily in my shaker cup.

you must consider loads here as you'll have customers on the premises...\nfire safety, fire exits, extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke alarms etc\nhealth & safety risk assessment, electrical equipment serviced/checked regularly, trailing wires, safe equipment ie beds\nalso to consider is COSHH risk assessment for the chemical substances you'll be using, ie massage creams and products, and cleaning products\npossible manual handling risk, plus first aid is important\nnot to forget health and safety of staff, for example; working alone, or using equipment.\nThe following sites may help you...

Antivenom (or antivenin, or antivenene) is a biological product used in the treatment of venomous bites. It is created by injecting a small amount of the targeted venom into an animal such as horses, sheep, goats, or rabbits; the subject animal will suffer an immune response to the venom, producing antibodies against the venom's active molecule which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat envenomation in others.

Knowing how a bacteria works and how it is structured means knowing how it can affect humans.  For example, if a bacteria can make a person ill, but it has something called a beta-lactam ring in its cell wall, that is good to know because a drug that works on the beta-lactam ring is able to kill the bacteria.\n\nUnknown bacteria may also have clinical uses.  Many pharmaceutical drugs are based on products made by organisms.  Penicillins (which may work in the above-described scenario) is actually isolated from a fungus.  Digitalis and digoxin, cardiac drugs, come from the foxglove plant.  It is very possible that this unidentified bacteria may have something it produces that would lead to a medical breakthrough.
