             Safety in the Laboratory: Personal Protective Equipment & Handwashing

INTRODUCTION

    Medical Hand washing is the mechanical removal of microorganisms from the hands and forearm with
the use of soap and water. 

     Personal Protective Equipment refers to a medical equipment that will protect the user against health
or safety risks at work. It can include items such as laboratory gowns, gloves, eye protection, mask, shoe
cover and head cap.

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the experiment, each student will be able to:

 a) know and understand the safety precautions in the laboratory

b) Demonstrate proper handwashing and wearing of the PPE

c) Know and familiarize with the different strokes in handwashing. 

MATERIALS

              Laboratory Manual

              Laboratory Safety Notes

PROCEDURE

Identification and visual presentation of the Personal Protective Equipment used in the Laboratory 

 I. Personal Protective Equipment

  a) Identification of the different Personal Protective Equipment       (PPE) 

      used inside the laboratory premises.

   b) Provide a picture of each PPE.


 II. Medical Handwashing Technique

    a) A review on the steps of proper handwashing 

III. Post Laboratory Analysis

      a) Answer the questions related to the laboratory activity.

 IV. ANALYSIS

      a) Why is it necessary to know the every PPE ?

 it is necessary for us to know every type of PPE in order for us to have the knowledge what is the
different kinds of PPE is for. Having the knowledge on the different kinds of PPE can be helpful and also
